"SNIP.....
In the wake of President Trumps renewed attacks on the U.S. intelligence community this week, senior intelligence briefers are breaking two years of silence to warn that the President is endangering American security with what they say is a stubborn disregard for their assessments, Time reports.
Citing multiple in-person episodes, these intelligence officials say Trump displays what one called willful ignorance when presented with analyses generated by Americas $81 billion-a-year intelligence services. The officials, who include analysts who prepare Trumps briefs and the briefers themselves, describe futile attempts to keep his attention by using visual aids, confining some briefing points to two or three sentences, and repeating his name and title as frequently as possible.
What is most troubling, say these officials and others in government and on Capitol Hill who have been briefed on the episodes, are Trumps angry reactions when he is given information that contradicts positions he has taken or beliefs he holds. Two intelligence officers even reported that they have been warned to avoid giving the President intelligence assessments that contradict stances he has taken in public.

(9,998 posts)The slavers and their henchmen of the cloth have put in decades of lead, filler, epoxy primer, and hi-build primer, and it has been block-sanded for years on end by the New Right and the Re-birchers.
The media laid on the color coats, in a spectrum of their choosing.
And there it was, the dream of all the Deplorables, with something for all, a fresh shot of your flavor of privelege in the air freshener.a supercharged SUV burning straight alcohol, able to crush Priuseses in a single "Wumba!". Reality is a hell of a teacher! ask Wile E. Coyote,, or Dennis Anderson, aka The Grave Digger.........
