67. most of them are secondary and tertiary recipients of what the kremlin recognized years

ago was an incredibly successful republican propaganda operation. probably 10 or so years ago around the time manafort was cochair of the mccain campaign they figured out how to use limbaugh to push palin on mccain.

most of those people don't know it but are just waiting for the left and dems to start giving talk radio the credit it deserves - and protest and boycott it until the ad industry has to stop using reluctant and apathetic advertisers to prop it up. enough of their clients get hit with bad publicity and boycotts and they'll have to start asking if they really want to support trump and global warming denial and a war with iran before they put them on those radio stations.

and artificial intelligence now makes that easier than ever - putin/trump's only unique advantage can't survive stopprush x100

2. Did Nadler faint? Needs to get a blood test, putin may have poisoned him

[hlthe2b]

4. Hot room.. He is apparently ok.

[zentrum]

17. Nadler is very overweight

When I saw him at a community meeting the other day my first thought was he doesn't look healthy---just when the country really needs him. Labored breath. Struggles to heave himself up a few stairs. Has a kind of limp ---or at least walks as if he's in pain.

Felt very anxious for him.

[saidsimplesimon]

47. Perhaps you should post

the weight of the dumpster? I feel concerned that you are "concerned".

[zentrum]

69. Nadler collapsed yesterday.

Did Trump?

I feel concerned for your lack of concern.

[lunatica]

55. Nadler had surgery and lost a great deal of weight

https://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/16/nyregion/nadler-as-a-last-resort-sheds-weight-by-surgery.html

He can actually move much better than he did before the surgery. He is under stress and it was too hot. He’s OK now.

[brewens]

63. I think it looks like he's lost a lot of weight, which he is known to have done a few

times. He may be one of those people that still have the big folds of loose skin to deal with so he never will look thin.

6. If anyone in the intelligence agencies had an ounce of patriotism

They would nip this in the bud right now. If someone doesn't step up we are screwed.

[sop]

32. They should simply refuse to comply with any requests for classified intelligence

You know, just like Trump, Barr and the rest of his henchmen are stonewalling subpoenas to testify before Congress and litigating requests for documents. Mnuchin and IRS are violating the law with impunity, why not the intelligence agencies? Let Trump threaten them with contempt of whatever, file suits and take it all the way to the Supreme Court.

61. Contempt? He can just fire them for insubordination. And then

have them physically removed from federal premises by federal law enforcement officers. He doesn’t need to threaten with contempt.

[sharedvalues]

66. Good. Then they go on CNN daily to say why they were fired

The problem is that all the people who left this admin have no courage to go public.

8. To be honest, I imagine foreign intelligence services and the like have already stopped ...

sharing any intelligence with the US because of this idiotic administration. And republicans claim that they can run government better, eh?

Pathetic.

[gratuitous]

10. As long as Needy Amin is using his unsecure phone

And after giving the Russians unfettered access to the Oval Office, our allies have to be on notice that any intelligence they have to share is going directly to the Kremlin.

[erronis]

21. Who said his phone was not secure? I'm sure the FSB has secured it against NSA taps.

they say it doesn't work, period. Then they get elected and prove it. I always found it curious that they want to be in charge of something they say doesn't work.

and yet, they are still in power.

[RedParrot]

12. Putin's man in Oval Office

I grew up during the Cold War. Schools had “duck and cover” drills. The mushroom cloud was in our nightmares and culture. I never thought I would see the day that Russia would have an agent inside the Oval Office.

Be afraid!

[maddiemom]

26. My generation, also.

I don't believe the U.S.S.R. was as much of a threat during those years as Russia under Putin, plus most of the major Republicans, is today.

[japple]

36. My family lived in Germany when the Berlin Wall went up. It was an incredibly tense period

for the US military and their dependents who were stationed there. There were frequent drills in school and everything was on high alert. Mom and Dad had those "talks" with us children about where our important family papers were kept, what to do in the event of an alert, what information we should give out if we were apprehended: father's name, rank and serial number. We were supposed to wear our dog tags and to be vigilant.

[dameatball]

39. Wow. Scary time for your family. glad it worked out.

[SoCalDem]

50. I still have my dogtags..

We lived in Panama during the Cuban Missile crisis..although a 5th grade teacher leveled with us..said we would be vaporized instantly ..said it would not hurt..

[PCIntern]

64. It's funny:

My fifth grade teacher had been in the WAC. She was really swift and said essentially the same thing. This was near Philly - we had many military installations here at the time and knew we were on the list for the first strike

[Initech]

41. We have got to get Putin out of power.

I don't know how or what it's going to take but that man is on a warpath for world domination. It would have to take the collective resources of the entire world to get him out but we are dealing with a totalitarian psychopath. He's got to go.

[dlk]

13. Putin Wants Access to All of Our Intelligence Information

Now he has it. Thank you GOP.

[Lonestarblue]

19. Trump is the one who is guilty of treason.

If I remember correctly, most of the agents who lost their jobs were Russian specialists, so getting rid of them meant less expertise to analyze Russian intel and actions. After getting rid of as many Russian specialists as he could, Trump—and Barr—want to collect even more information for Putin by identifying the people who have worked undercover in Russia for decades to provide intel for national security. If identified, those people will be killed immediately. Even the heads-in-the-sand Republicans ought to be able to follow that likely outcome. Are there any options for stopping this dangerous action? Impeachment would take far too long. We need some immediate action to stop this. Can Congress pass something to overturn Trump’s executive order?

[triron]

22. Treason it is!

[Honeycombe8]

16. You wonder "when the Dems wake up from their bubble"? The Dems?

What are you talking about?

[nini]

24. Really?

You don't think they know this. Have you heard about McConnell yet and all the obstruction that is helping 45?

[pdsimdars]

28. They haven't taken the remedy they were given by the constitution. . .

are they waiting until Putin kills some of our assets that Barr reveals? Would that be the signal to worry less about the electoral "politics" and more about the principal?

[nini]

34. I'm sure they're ignoring everything like you say

bye felicia.

[Pepsidog]

18. Wow there is no end to the Republican treachery.

[lark]

20. Duh, that's part of PUtin's grand plans for drumpf - alienate the whole world against us.

Make us weak then take us out so we are just another Russian satellite for the sole profit & benefit of the worldwide white oligarch establishment centered in Russia.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. If that's the case, and he's an agent, is Melania his handler?

[lark]

38. I have wondered about that in the past.

She certainly never acts fond of drumpf, does she?

27. Republicans: Soft on Crime, Weak on Defense

[H2O Man]

30. Recommended.

When Malcolm talks, I listen. Closely.

Thank you for this.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

43. Agreed.

When Nance talks, I listen very closely. When he writes books, I buy them, read them and commit his words to memory.

He reveals things that others cannot come out and say without damage, yet he is careful what he does say.

I have read his books and he has a new one coming out in November, later this year. It's title will be "The Plot to Betray America: How Team Trump Embraced Our Enemies, Compromised Our Security and How We Can Fix It" I think you can pre-order it from Amazon now.

Hell, the last book kept me up at night.

[H2O Man]

46. His books are

must-reads.

[MySideOfTown]

33. Is there some patriot organization that can sue and get the courts to block this?

[world wide wally]

35. When will America say we're just not going to take it anymore?

Are those days behind us?

[Dave Starsky]

40. If Malcolm Nance says this, then we are well and truly fucked.

"The Plot to Hack America" and "The Plot to Destroy Democracy" seemed like nervous hand-wringing and possible bullshit when I first read them. But then they ended up being confirmed absolutely TRUE. "The Plot to Destroy Democracy" is, essentially, the unredacted (and probably some of the redacted) portions of the Mueller Report, and he published that book last year. Nance called out Maria Butina as a Russian agent before anyone else knew who the fuck she was. Two months after I read the book, she was busted for being a Russian agent.

Malcolm Nance is a true American patriot, and he KNOWS what he's talking about. His career was in military intelligence, for real.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

45. And he has a new book coming out in November of this year.

It's titled: "The Plot to Betray America." You can pre-order it now on Amazon.com.

[orangecrush]

42. Practically speaking...

Is there anyone here who knows if steps can be taken by the intelligence services to block Barr's access, and are they likely at all to do so?

I've reached a point where I see no point in wailing and gnashing of teeth, I just want to know what can be done to counter Trump's moves toward autocracy, and if it is going to be done or not.

I expected a horror movie when he took office, but this news managed to make my stomach knot up.

[BobTheSubgenius]

48. How many times since the Inauguration have I thought

"Oh, this is The Worst thing he's ever done?" This pretty much has to be it.

[triron]

52. It will get worse unless someone stops Trump. Much worse. (Sorry)

Think 3rd Reich.

[BobTheSubgenius]

71. I can't disagree.

No one can, really. Gotta hope for better, but I feat what's to come, all the same.

I should have added ",,,so far" to the end of my assessment.

[triron]

72. My hope is dimming.

the credentials, I haven't met him but would certainly leap at the chance. "We are in grave danger." Is that Defcon 3, below or above?

The fool has no clue, thinks he is radiation proof, a Roman despot God. Is he roaming around and around our White House at all hours, or locked in his child proof cell (oops Presidential Suite)?

[triron]

53. Trump needs to be put away.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

54. The lack of intelligence comes from the top.

I rest my case.

[lunatica]

56. I believe Malcolm Nance.

I hope Barr is obstructed. I believe patriots in the intelligence agencies will fight back. I truly do.

[Rhiannon12866]

62. +100

[VOX]

65. Nance isn't given to hyperbole; he has served our country well, and his assessment is sobering.

More than most talking heads, Nance has a resume of dedicated service that few can equal, so his words carry twice the weight of others.

I find his assessment to be the confirmation of our worst fears.
