I like Trumps tweet about Brennans lawsuit.  Basically he said go for it. Then all emails, documents, and text from Brennan supporting why he revoked his clearance will be made known to the public.

Isn't this the guy that said Iraq had WMD's?  And Mueller was the guy who confirmed it?

Brennan’s basis for the lawsuit threat was accusing the president of treason. He has since backed off those claims after the president called his bluff. 😂😂😂

So has the media, because they don't want anyone to dig deeper.  It's amazing how they work.  Just like up until the invasion of Iraq all you heard about was WMD's.  Then none found.  And no stories after that or looking into the bad intel.  No one got fired.

It’s funny you mentioned the WMD’s. I question how bad the intel actually was, A lot of people don’t remember or don’t know that Iraq used to be our friend. So much so that we helped Iraq develop their WMD program as far as chemical weapons are concerned. We also know that (without question) that Iraq used those chemical weapons against Iran during their big war. So, did Iraq have Chemical WMD’s? We know for a fact they did. The two real questions that no one asked after we basically found none. Was the intel up to date about whether Iraq had current stores of WMD’s prior to our invasion of Iraq? One thought about this is that it is possible that Iraq used all the chemical WMD stores that they had in their war with Iran so they may not have had any more at the time the intel community told Bush that Iraq has Chemical weapons. The second question is we never really asked what happened to the chemical weapons we know they had. It could also be the reports of Iraq sending their chemical WMD stores to Syria prior to our invasion of Iraq are true. In hind sight, we do not know how Syria got the chemical weapons that they have used. Is it a coincidence that a small backwards country like Syria had been developing their own chemical WMD program prior to the current war without the help of another country? It is also a coincidence that most of the known Iraqis that worked on the Iraq chemical weapon program were not found either after our invasion. My guess is they shipped any and all remaining chemical weapon stores along with their ongoing program and experts to Syria as was suggested during the Iraq invasion. Very much in the same way that Iraq tried to fly most of it’s fighter aircraft to Iran before they were destroyed by the U.S.

When we did invade Iraq we found some telltale signs of their chemical weapons. We found some warheads used to deliver the chemical weapons. Not many but some. They were empty. And some did have chemical residue as they were charged and ready to use and then not used for whatever reason.

So was the intel given to Bush actually good intel? Could be and everything was shipped to Syria before we invaded Iraq. Or it could be the intel was old and they were just out of chemical weapons and delivery systems when we invaded. The intelligence agencies probably know but it was just never verified and/or reported. It could also be there is some intelligence that was deemed not releasable to the public. Who knows? The two things I fault Bush for is invading Iraq without having a larger multinational coalition. Even most of the rest of the NATO allies realized that we should not have invaded Iraq at that time for that reason. And the second thing I fault Bush for is not having a plan in place to occupy Iraq after we took down Hussein. I did not support this war for these reasons.

I’ll get off my soapbox now.

Thanks for the info.  I was only about 18 when the invasion began so I didn't look to much into the why.

The second question is we never really asked what happened to the chemical weapons we know they had.

I’ll get off my soapbox now.

Reminds me of that quote from Shooter.  Goes something like "it's the Government having to admit that they knew" and probably in this case, a lot about if they knew that, how they knew in order to prove a reliable source without giving up the source itself or method of "knowing". 

And be careful stepping down off that soapbox, especially with your knee.  Speaking of your knee, how is it feeling?

I had meniscus tear and patella repaired. The patella repair has me in a lot of pain. Doctor gave me a lot of pain meds. But they only take the edge off. Thanks for asking.

But it's not like he needs the money, he's doing it for the power and title.

I truly doubt he cares about money.  He is rich now, unlike the cretin Clintoons that looked only to enrch themselves at the expense of the US.

OTOH, Trump has been watching the Deep State and power elite drag this country through shiite to keep control.  For years now, considering how many times he has hinted at running for POTUS.

His sometimes severe (not severe enough in IMHO) reaction tho the crap those traitors have been getting away with  finally got to him.

Name one damn thing he has done that is not involved with rooting out the entrenched power clique?  Or, was meant to enrich himself?

Not trying to argue with you as I agree with what you are saying. However, Trump COULD (and more than likely will) benefit at the end of his term. Whether it is 4 or 8 years. Even though he has given up ownership of his businesses during his presidency, when his presidency is over, and if the economy is still booming he will more than likely be in a better position and therefore be better off when he takes control of his businesses back. I honestly don’t think he is wanting to be president in order to benefit himself financially. But by benfitting the entire country he is going to be a de facto beneficiary of the trump economy. In my mind he deserves it. Supposedly his wealth has dropped since taking office by a few million. He gives his measley salary of $400k (to him) back to the government. He truly doesn’t need to be POTUS. And I am sure he wants to be POTUS in order to improve and correct all the wrongdoings and mismanagement and corruption that have occurred over the last 40 years or so. However, I do believe he has a massive ego and he gets off on the power that goes with the position. As long as his ego doesn’t get in the way of doing the right thing for the country and the legal residents then I honestly don’t care.

It honestly took me quite a while to understand Trump. I don’t particularly care for his personality but I don’t vote for personality. I like what he is doing for the economy and I like the trolling of the MSM outlets. I also like the fact that he has not fallen into the swampy political BS and has stayed above all of that.

Trump is definitely going to benefit from being POTUS and I wouldn't doubt that there are things that he's doing that will set himself or associates up for benefit later.  But which president hasn't?  That said, I still believe and see by his actions that in general, he is changing things for the betterment of the USA.  Yeah, I think a big part of Trump is that he enjoys being the boss and I too don't care for his immature behavior at times.  However, when things count, like honoring the fallen, he does it in a dignified way and doesn't look to make a political point, like many past presidents have. 

I continue to see what I have noticed as a change in the tide.  They had Cohen's attorney on NPR this morning and the host was almost attacking him and raising questions about both Cohen and the attorney.  I would have NEVER thought I would hear that in early 2017. 

It's funny, all those who are bashing Trump, are the same people comment on SSH "keep voting for the same people" when there's a post about a repeat criminal causing harm again.

Trump told Pompeo not to go to NK today because we are not getting enough cooperation on denuclearization. And the fact that China is trying to undermine our sanctions with NK. So while we are in negotiations with China over tariffs he feels it would not be a good idea for Pompeo to go under all these circumstances. Good move Mr. President.

The look on Pence's face...

So does it bother anyone that Trump made Whitehouse staff sign non-disclosure agreements?

Do you know WHY NDAs exist?

In a word:  LAWYERS.

If someone works for you in any capacity, and they disclose private, proprietary or embarrassing information to anyone outside the organization, you have no legal recourse as long as they can claim they had no knowledge such information was protected, or that employees were prohibited from sharing the info.

By signing an NDA, employees acknowledge their responsibilities and the consequences of unauthorized disclosure.

Many agencies, including the White House under other Presidents, required NDAs of employees.  In today's climate of law suits and ethical "gray areas", it's a responsible policy.

do you know for a fact that Obama did not make his staff sign non-disclosure agreements?
