President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If only FNC and other sites beloved by Trumpistas held the same standard.

 

Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl get called out for irresponsible leaks.

Senate intel should call these two clowns to the Hill to testify.

"The sources for this [Post] article are obviously the same Obama holdovers who constantly leak classified information to the Washington Post," said the source, who would only discuss the matter under condition of anonymity. "They went back to the those same reporters and tried to rewrite history so it doesn't look like Obama was weak on Russia, which of course he was."

The leaks have been traced to a number of former Obama administration officials, including Ben Rhodes—the former National Security Council official responsible for creating an in-house ‘echo chamber' meant to mislead reporters and the public about the landmark nuclear deal with Iran—and Colin Kahl, former Vice President Joe Biden's national security adviser.

Another source, this one a senior administration official who is also intimately familiar with the situation, confirmed the assessment to the Washington Free Beacon.

"Those responsible for the disastrous foreign national security policy of the Obama administration for the last years—Ben Rhodes, Colin Kahl—they provide the marching orders to a broader group of people that are associated with the broader [Democratic Party] Podesta-Clinton network, and now they're trying to rewrite history at the cost of American national security," the official said.

"For the last eight years, the priority was always the narrative … It was never the American interests, it was the interests of the Democratic Party and the Obama-Podesta-Clinton conglomerate," explained the source.

The nature and sensitivity of the leaks escalated recently, after efforts by congressional Democrats to accuse Trump officials of collusion with Russia ran into official denials from multiple officials who testified on the matter before Congress.

"This is yet another example of politics trumping national security and the questions is at what point are those who disagree with the results of the November 8 election going to stop endangering U.S. national security for their own political agenda," the official said.

The ongoing leaks have not only endangered U.S. operations, but those of America's closest allies, including Israel and others.

Former Obama Officials Are Endangering American Security with Anti-Trump Leaks

 

Anonymous sources suck, say other anonymous sources.

 

No kidding.

 

Completely agree with that tweet.

 

From AARP:

Here is a sampling of the groups condemning the Republican plan to strip 22 million people of their health insurance ... while giving a tax bonanza to America's wealthiest citizens: the AARP, the American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association, the Federation of American Hospitals, the American Cancer Society, America's EssentialHospitals, the Catholic Health Association of the United States, the American Nurses Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the National Education Association, the American Health Care Association, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the Children's Defense Fund, the National Disabilities Rights Network, the National Physicians Alliance, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, the American Association for Suicide Prevention, and Consumers Union. Even the Republican-dominated National Governors Association is begging the GOP to at least slow down this runaway train.

The American hustle never disappoints and often amazes. Wonder how many in the crowd will be without health insurance next year.

 

The crowd will be all white males. You'd be happy about that outcome.

 

Oh, they won't be all males. Far from it. Been to a few rasslin' shows myself in my day.
