That was the tweet Trump sent out yesterday referring to the press conference that he promised to hold today concerning the Russians hacking our election.The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017
Did you notice that Trump put intelligence in quotation marks?
The problem is that according to the intelligence folks that briefing was ALWAYS scheduled for Friday:
A senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News Tuesday night that the heads of the NSA, CIA, FBI and the director of national intelligence were always scheduled to meet with Trump on Friday.
But here's the thing, as the president elect Trump can essentially get a briefing pretty much every single day.
We already know that many Senators, including Lindsay Graham and John McCain, have been briefed and believe firmly that the Russians are behind these hacks, so how can Trump not know?
Perhaps because he does not WANT to know.
Julian Assange said "a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta" - why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017
So Trump is now openly questioning the findings of the American intelligence community and instead choosing to believe Julian Assange."@FoxNews: Julian Assange on U.S. media coverage: “It’s very dishonest.” #Hannity pic.twitter.com/ADcPRQifH9" More dishonest than anyone knows— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017
And you know the reason for that is because he is worried that the reports by the intelligence community, and there is a big report by the CIA headed to the President's desk in the next few days, will de-legitimize his election and undermine his ability to lead this country.
Which, in my opinion, is exactly what they should do.
#NotMyPresident
On this Friday's briefing, the 'intelligence' (sic) organizations should plant something that, when leaked and acted upon, proves that HE is the one who gave that info to the Russians. I hope, the CIA, FBI, NSA, etc, are making their case and crossing their t's and dotting their i's, and then get rid of him. By whatever means. Incarcerate him with murderers and rapists, let him be part of the general prison population and throw away the keys to his cell. Refuse to let him have access to the media.
ReplyDeleteOr do something more drastic.
By siding with the enemy and treating our intelligence agencies as he is, he is acting as an enemy of the United states. He is dangerous. If it is believed that he is a danger to the country, then why would I and others object to something "more drastic"? I wouldn't.
DeleteHe is mocking and berating our intelligence agencies in front of the world, and praising the enemy they risk their lives to protect us from.
DeleteWonder how that is going down?
Don't be surprised if Trump is gunned down! Hope he is wearing enough protection gear under his suits to protect his fat girth! He is a BIG boy!
DeleteI wonder how many death threats are being received against Trump? Remember how President Obama was always such a target in the beginning basically due to his black skin and being elected our wonderful POTUS!
President Obama is going to create a huge vacancy and we will truly miss him!
Trump is scared shitless that something will block his presidency at the 11th hour. I so hope it happens.

DeleteI hope he's so scared he has a coronary in the middle of the night and DIES. The sooner the better.
Either Trump doesn't know the facts before tweeting the security briefing meeting was delayed till Friday instead of telling the truth the meeting was always scheduled for Friday and not moved to Friday causing a delay?

I keep waiting for some of these former CIA guys and others to get the goods and reveal them. It does seem that there has to be something there.
DeleteHe is neck deep in debt to the Russians. Maybe the Russian mob is keeping close tabs on him, if he lost the election he would have mysteriously died. He can never repay the large amounts owed.
Delete8:47, I keep hoping that the reason we're not hearing much from the top Dems is that they are madly dredging up info on him. I hope anyway.
DeleteI just keep seeing that scene in Training Day when Denzel's scuzzy character is stopped at a traffic light and the Russians pull up in vehicles all around him and take care of the job. I'd love it if someone with know-how redid that scene using Trump in the car instead of Denzel. They could also use Putin's face in place of the Russian woman who lights up her cigarette before the shooting starts.

JUST DO IT!
(but no, it would take balls and a spine to do that. )
Although Trump can't yet be accused of treason, he has defied the Logan Act that prohibits negotiations with foreign enemies. Lawrence O'Donnell talked about this the other day and it is mind-blowing that not more is being said about Trump's relationship with Putin and others as serious in legal terms. Once he's sworn in, hopefully more will be done re this. Assange isn't govt, but he is so tied to Putin, and in an ethical way Trump is again defying the Logan Act. It is unbelievable how he keeps supporting the enemy and saying a big f-you to our American intel agencies.
ReplyDeleteCan you even begin to imagine the response were a Barack Obama doing the same things as is Donald Trump? He'd have been run out of town in a heartbeat. (Not even taking into consideration the fact he is black!)
DeleteTrump has to be stopped. He is not PRO America and Americans. He is supporting Russia and Putin! Fuck him! Bring him down America.
Contact your congress men and women in D.C. Tell them to get off their fucking butts and do something that supports America and their fellow citizens - to include all minorities!

We need both Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump to DIE of coronaries, aneurisms, strokes, whatever it takes. They're old. They're obese. Neither are the picture of health. Far younger men than them have died at younger ages.

Trump, Palin break with GOP, warm up to Assange

• Both Donald Trump and Sarah Palin had supportive words for Julian Assange
• Trump's comments again put him at odds with Republican leaders on the Hill
CNN
.... Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- an early Trump supporter -- responded to Assange's interview with an apology and a reversal.
Palin lavished praise on Assange in a Facebook post after watching Assange on Fox....
Read at
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/04/politics/donald-trump-julian-assange-sarah-palin/
Trump tries to drain swap but the Creature From The Black Lagoon (Sarah Palin) surfaces. Now all we need is The Cock Mess Monster (Bristol) to give a bj to Trump.
DeleteCNN says that Palin was "an early Trump supporter" however that is untrue.
DeleteRemember, Palin was firmly on the Cruz bandwagon until it looked like Trump would prevail and only then did she ditch Cruz and ally with Trump.
Just as this newest flip flop on Assange demonstrates, Palin simply floats in the wind, has no ideas or opinions of her own and only mimics the political ideals of whomever she has aligned herself with at the moment.
If Trump does go down she'll jump on the Pence/Ryan bandwagon and act like she's always lived there.
She's worthless as a leader but at times can be a useful idiot to those who are already in power, although with her reputation preceding her she is found to be useful by fewer powerful people on fewer occasions and there are very few remaining supporters that find that her opinion matters.
She's not been invited out of state on any sort of political junket in over 6 months; basically her political dance card is empty, regardless of how many tweets and FB screeds she "writes" on behalf of the current political climate.
@9:34 The fact that Palin has been offered nothing speaks volumes about what a hot mess she is viewed as by the Trump team. Even the scum of the Earth Trumpians want nothing to do with her. She put on her best wig and pushup bra and sucked up for nothing. HAHAHA!!

In 16 days, the above would be the crime of Threatening the President. And before you argue, there's a white supremist in Kentucky serving 33 months for posting just a poem about killing the president. There's a guy in Texas serving 27 months for posting something similar to what's also above "May he meet a speedy death soon". I'm sorry Trump won, but if I see posts like this here after Jan 20, I'm going to report it to the Secret Service.

Only one problem with that.
DeleteThose are D.C. numbers.
The most effective communication is to call their LOCAL office. You speak with a staffer but your message is much more likely to have some effect.
Also when your representative has a local meeting or town hall, GO THERE. Speak up. Ask questions. Go often and make sure your face is recognized as a regular.
Calling D.C. is almost (but not quite) as useless as writing them a letter or sending them an e-mail.
With all the lies #NOTMYPRESIDENT spewed, can he be trusted with America's secrets? Wait till he gets impeached, he has a long list of people to get back at.

ReplyDeleteHow many promised press conferences as Trump missed?

Well, even if he says anything to the press it will be in the Friday dump. Right before the weekend when everyone will ignore it.
Bill Maher and John Oliver are still on hiatus. Samantha Bee is now on Wednesday. Colbert, Meyers and the rest aren't on until Monday night. I have no idea what is going on with Keith Olbermann.
So whatever it is will fall by the wayside by the time Mondays new more outlandish whatever surfaces.
That's how this new administration rolls. Misdirection and wait it out until no one is paying attention. Hope they forget.
