"The national security negligence is stunning:" : Jim Scuitto












This was a hack to get intelligence. This is not the same as the hacks used to disrupt the 2016 election.
Trump's claim & pursuit of bogus fraud was his usual m.o. of diversion.
"Look over here". Trump the showman.

Is that what he says doesn’t have to have ANY relation to the truth. Zero. None. We are used to seeing politicians, from both sides of the aisle (if we’re being honest), put a “spin” on things. Leave out certain details, or put a happy face on statistics, for example. It’s part of being a politician, I guess, although I will be the first to acknowledge reThugs are far more hypocritical and dishonest in their “spin”.

But tRump has mostly thrown all that out the window. He will do or say anything to make himself look good and his opponents look bad, and there doesn’t have to be a grain of truth in any of it.

that confiscated all of the secrets of the USA plus information on every single citizen.

THAT EVIDENTLY WASN'T NEWS!!!!!!!

Trump fired his security chief, Chris Krebs, and removed the head from DOD so that russia could have access.

The media doesn't think that is important, but somehow trump's latest tantrum is.

Russia just won the war, because trump gave them the victory.

crickets.

Something like that. China? Japan? A Communist Nation?

Was that Khrushchev?
