    This is how the Times describes it:

    Late Wednesday night, after speaking with Mr. Trump, James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, issued a statement decrying leaks about the matter and saying of Mr. Steele’s dossier that the intelligence agencies have “not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable.” Mr. Clapper suggested that intelligence officials had nonetheless shared it to give policymakers “the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security.”

    Since you looked through his feed, any thoughts on this one? A sitting congressman calling for Acosta to be fired and banned for "disrespect"?

    Right. In their judgment, this could affect national security. So what are you arguing against?

    A. LL stands for Leon Leonwood?

    2. They don't distance themselves from her. They distance the company from the political views of their over 50 shareholders.

    Here is the thing. Trump absolutely knows whether some or all of the information is true. He brushes it off as "fake news" but all his advisers dance around it with the unverified/reliable dodge. Makes me think they know or fear at least parts are true and don't want it sticking to them.

    A. So, the person you follow, who retweeted it, was selective in his choice. They picked the one teeet that didn't include a link to the article he wrote.

    B. These aren't contracted services. You try sending someone an invoice without a purchase order or contact and see how far you get.

    Dumb.

    But so is the attempt to make a martyr out of him. He wasn't called on. He interrupted another reporter.

    Linda Bean had the courage to personally donate to the Trump campaign 12 times more than is legally allowed.

    I think it's important the press stands strong and isn't cowed, bullied or silenced.

    Trump could whack off on a photo of Anderson Cooper, during the "State of the Union" address, and you would simply praise the volume of his ejaculate.
