This isn't just a Trump thing, goes back to Obama. Oh definitely One of the major negative side effects of Trumpo sucking the air out of all of politics since July 2015 is that basically nothing of substance has been paid attention to or discussed since then. It's been whatever dumb/awful s*** he's on about that day or EMAILS for over a year and a half now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 White House considering outsider to review intelligence agencies (CNN)The White House is considering tapping Stephen Feinberg, founder of a New York investment firm and a longtime friend to President Donald Trump, to conduct a review of US intelligence agencies, according to US officials with knowledge of the plans. Why is a billionaire investment banker the appropriate person to review (purge) US intelligence agencies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 09:02 AM) Totally a success. If Hillary won the election and green lighted this mission and the exact same thing happened, it would have been Benghazi all over again. I am just shocked Trump hasn't defeated ISIS yet. He knows far more than any General how to defeat them. Why is he messing with our safety and not taking care of this immediately?

bmags Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yeah, I mean Yemen not allowing us to do counterterrorism activity anymore is kind of a big deal. They didn't even pull that after our funding of the Saudis led to that terrible wedding bombing a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, a Republican is in office, so that's to be expected. But he has experience. Resumes aren't everything though, he could turn out to be a Kris Kobach.

StrangeSox Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 http://www.dallasnews.com/business/busines...sional-scrutiny WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon officer in charge of the F-35 stealth fighter jet program confirmed Thursday that the chief executive of Boeing was listening in on the line when then-President-elect Donald Trump called him in January to discuss the program's costs. Boeing's rival Lockheed makes the F-35. Now I'm all for s***ting on that horribly bloated and expensive and marginally useful plane, but it seems pretty odd to have the rival CEO on the call discussing it?

StrangeSox Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) good lord trump's presser today. Maggie Haberman ✔ @maggieNYT Trump says the "crowds are massive" for rally that isn't taking place for two days. 12:07 PM - 16 Feb 2017 Also bragging about the "biggest electoral college victory since Reagan," which was actually a smaller margin than George HW Bush, Clinton, Clinton again, Obama, and Obama again, but who's counting? We'll also only be pursuing bilateral trade deals, so that sound you heard a little while ago was an entire region realigning to China. Zeke Miller ✔ @ZekeJMiller Trump: “Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars” 12:11 PM - 16 Feb 2017 Zeke Miller ✔ @ZekeJMiller Trump responding to protests in GOP town halls: “They are not the Republican people that our representatives represent” 12:15 PM - 16 Feb 2017 Flynn is only gone because of the ILLEGAL leaks of FAKE NEWS, and no that's somehow not a contradiction e: literally "the leaks are real, the news is fake" what is this I don't even I'm still baffled on a daily basis that 60+ million Americans looked at this man and though "yes, this is good."
