So our president elect doesn't want security briefings

[Cyrano]

This should scare the hell out of everyone who voted for him. But I doubt if they read or hear anything that the rest of us are seeing and hearing.

It seems that our president elect is more interested in personal profit than national security.

And it seems that our president elect has delegated all that "national security junk" to his Veep, Pence, a fundamentalist Jesus freak.

And I guess that if anything comes up that the orange fuehrer needs to know about, or make a decision on, his white supremacist adviser, Steve Bannon, will bring it to him and tell him what to do about it.

America, we are in such deep shit.

Let me say that again. America, we are in such deep shit.

1. my guess is that he sees them like homework, which he has no interest in.

he'll be very interested in security briefings once he's in a position to make knee-jerk bullying responses and issue orders that will be carried out quickly.

but while he can't do anything until january 20? what's the point, right?

2. I hope not. This is exactly what Bush did. He deferred everything to his VP.

Sure, people thought Condi Rice was in charge, but I believe I read an article that said that at the time 9/11 hit, everything was being filtered through Cheney. And Cheney was thinking about streamlining everything through the Red Cross.

8. I was told the president elect doesn't even have to have security clearance to view classified info.

Republicans let this happen to America.

11. How come I suspect that the Donald wants to restored fat, dumb & happy

How come I think that the Donald seeks to restore the Dubya-era feeling of fat, dumb, & happy circa August 2001 while Donnie does more "important" things?

12. It's ironic because just a few weeks ago, people here were upset he was getting those briefings

and now they're upset that he doesn't seem to want them.
