President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Trump's Nixon-Style Enemies List - The Atlantic

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I also colluded with a foreign nation to win an election. I too said many bigoted things. I abused power. My allies broke into Dem HQ. But Dick Nixon never spoke about Tricia and Julie the way the current occupant of the White House has spoken about his daughter."

 

You should find a whiteboard and diagram your logic here...

Then you should do it for the rest of your arguments.

1. The left blasted Brennan for his actions during the Bush years.
2. The left did not strip him of his security clearance.

1. Trump blasted Brennan for his actions during the Russia investigation.
2. Trump stripped him of his security clearance.

Therefore, the left is hypocritical??

 

Yes. The issue is not whether or not Brennan (or any of these people) is perfect. The issue is that this is another example of Trump’s horrible leadership and Banana Republic style.

 

Guys, slow down. I'm still trying to figure out whether we use oxygen to breathe or not.

 

Pfft. Rules are for cucks.

 

There is idiocy in seeking logical patterns in what Trump says or does.
He didn't like what Brennan said about him so he spat in his eye.

 

You mainly breathe nitrogen, but it's pretty useless unless you are a plant.

 

I wonder what’s on Trump’s reading list? The yardage book at Trump National?

Never mind the fact that 11 former CIA chiefs have come out against the revocation.

 

Seems legit.

 

Only the best people.

Well, that's important, as they are not personally invested, and can objectively comment.

And, seriously, has anyone asked any of these dudes the last time they were "consulted" after leaving office?

Admiral Mike Mullen said on Fox News Sunday today that it's not used often. Is it used ever?

MULLEN: It's -- for a long time, Chris, former officials have kept their security clearances to be able to advise on critical issues over time. These are individuals typically that have a lot of both wisdom and experience and our entities inside the government. There are contractors who support the government that ask for advice in certain areas.

I don't find it -- certainly, I have my clearance. It's not used that often and the dependence on sort of a deep understanding of what's actually going on is not called for that often. So, it's been going on for a long time. And I think for the most part, it's been very useful and I have found no one that's abused that.

Mullen also criticized Brennan:

ADMIRAL MIKE MULLEN (RET), FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF CHAIRMAN: Well, I think for John and he -- and John is an extraordinary servant of the country, but I think he has been incredibly critical of the president and I think that has put him in a political place which actually does more damage for the intelligence community, which is apolitical, even as he's retired. So, I really don't support him being as critical of the president as he has been
