a great big target.

and of course making money. we are just collateral.

We still live in a nuclear age.

I survived decades of a "Cold War" hoping for a "peace dividend" when the Soviet Union collapsed, and it seemed like we didn't have to worry anymore about the launch of weapons that would destroy us within minutes. Soon as I breathed easy that the Cold War was over, we were embroiled in the "Gulf War". Now we are here.

Donald Trump does not understand why it is wrong to use nuclear weapons. We've got them; so why shouldn't we use them? He actually asked about this repeatedly with the advisors that he met with. Now he doesn't meet with any of those advisors. It's just incredible to me that anyone who grew up in the last seven decades doesn't have a clue about any of this.

messed up right now down is up and up is down. But now I am hearing what a nuclear winter is and all those big wing probably have bunkers to live in why would you want to live if you want to call it that in a destroyed environment how will their greed help them????

if he has to waste time getting intelligence briefings?

Do I need to add the little thingy?

caught when his admin. had to admit there was a briefling about bin Laden and what he was up to. Maybe tRump figures if he says he just ignored them all he won't be busted later if something happens. (not that bu$h and co ever really got busted for anything about 9/11)


(these were just my first thoughts, I still don't really know how or what to think of this whole damn mess!)

It would allow him to go crazy with the military and give him unfettered control over the country.
Could be the beginning of an actual military coup.
You know it's a possibility.

...in part, he is eschewing these so he does not have to face up to realizing how completely unprepared he is for what is coming.

Ostrich head-in-the-sand avoidance tactics.

And that is not reassuring!

Trump will be the Grand Poobah of intelligence, and the CIA/DIA/FBI heads will get their briefings on the state of the world from HIM
it will be amazing
so much winning

if we get hit with another terrorist attack, Trump will try to ram through a new Patriot Act on steroids that will make the original look like a blueprint for freedom. Anybody that opposes it will be subject to nasty tweets and subsequent death threats from his followers. Heck, at this stage, we might even get a follower that goes too far and kills a person, which could silence a lot of the opposition.

I think he would love a reason to go to war and have the power of being a war time president.

to listen to things like IBs because he makes his decisions based upon HIS GUT!

of course.

Especially Pence.

and selling more red hats.

Narcissists live in their own reality, if he doesn't see something... it doesn't exist. They pick and choose what to see and know.

and besides Alex Jones has all the best news.

he is the number one threat to the country every day. He gets it.

It's only cost us about 12,000 U.S lives. (9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq)

...he'll find time to participate.

.. the generals and the CIA.

They should all just retire.

Sounds like a Republican to me!

Never thought I would see someone going into the Oval Office looking BETTER than George W. Bush.

Do you think evil?

Just like with Bush, when the shit hits the fan, he owns it.

daily briefings and what they are doing while rump provides cover and distracts .....

"You've covered your ass..." Trump doesn't even want to bother with that. I realize that many of his followers are ignorant and violent, so they'd crucify the Electoral College if they refused to validate his election. Nonetheless, this is an unprecedented situation in our history. Desperate measures are called for. Not eliminating the Electoral College after 2000 was a huge mistake. The Dems have won the popular vote while losing the presidency twice in sixteen years. Since the Republicans have won the popular vote only once (and that was questionable) in the last seven presidential elections, it's no wonder they have been trying so desperately to suppress voting.

The intelligence agencies aren't giving him a second chance. It's likely that any briefings he does gets are very short with a few "need to know" details. If he gives them any push-back he'll end up riding in a convertible. Any word on how many briefings Pence is receiving?

and told Trump to step out of the way.
