No Excuses Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Lol. Quote Trump also denied the importance of receiving the daily intelligence briefing, a tradition for presidents and presidents-elect. He has received the briefings only sporadically since winning the election. “I get it when I need it,” he said. “I’m, like, a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.” Good luck to all of us. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/12/11/trump-denies-cia-report-russia-intervened-to-help-him-win-election/?utm_term=.2f8dc92444d3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Manafort, to the hacks, to Trump's response to the CIA, to Tillerson. Whybthe Right has no problem with all of this is damning. I have a problem with it and Tillerson getting that award from the Russians should raise redflags (I wouldn't be angry if he was voted down during confirmations). 1 hour ago, No Excuses said: Lol.

No Excuses Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 **** it. Maybe it should be a thread of its own. It seems like we will have a huge wall between our intelligence community and the executive branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interaction with Russia encouraged by the US is now a problem? I'm old enough to remember the Dems encouraging his actions.....and supporting the Russians(under a Clinton wasn't it?) I'm kinda surprised Tillerson would take the position, but he was retiring anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again we as a people so lacking in discernment that we are unable to tell the difference between an "interaction" and being distinctively "pro-Russian", but I'm guessing it'll take the pundits and Trump administration about 30 seconds to try this same obsfucation. I used to think that the ties between Manafort and Russia were going to be the most troubling thing we'd see, but it just gets worse every day. Manchurian Candidate is looking more plausible at every turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that matter how many presidential cabinet members have gotten it? But, yes please continue to obsfuscate on the Russian involvement and mounting pro-Russian history of Trump administration and campaign members. But I'm sure Putin is well intentioned and can be trusted, afterall Bush looked into his eyes and got a measure of his soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop minimizing this because it simply makes you look absurd. And this isn't just about a compromised Sec State (that would be bad enough!) this is about an entire pattern of a Pro-Russian (soft on Russia, way too freaking friendly with Russia) Presidential Administration. And don't even act like Putin/Russia are benign. If you aren't concerned about these connections then you obviously don't know as much about world/US politics as you pretend.

It is scary, what is scarier is bias clearly exists in the media. I'd worry more about him using the media as more than a object of derision..
