I want to remind everyone about something Barry McCaffrey said

[ScratchCat]

Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin.

He has to be one of the most staunch conservative, "anti-Hillary" types out there. I can't think of one "left of center" position he would agree with. But even the former General has the guts to admit what everyone with eyes can see.

1. I see it the same way. Our US Intelligence Agencies have all warned us...

that the russian ACTS OF WAR which perverted the 2016 US elections, are ongoing, and ramped up for 2020. Dirty Donny* and his republicans have ASSUMED THE POSITION for russia and their evil empire schemes. They will not lift a finger to defend or protect America or American democracy. In fact, they have been dismantling some of the critical safeguards.

republicans are weakening America.

6. the payoff to stormy should have been immediately disqualifying.

when considering granting security access, susceptibility to blackmail and worse, willingness to pay blackmail, is one of the biggest disqualifying things they could find. merely doing things that might make you vulnerable to blackmail is a giant red flag.

donnie not only repeatedly puts himself in those situations, but in fact has actually *paid* what might as well be blackmail (it's not actually blackmail because stormy did her side of it properly and legally, but for national security purposes, what donnie did in paying her was exactly the same as paying blackmail to keep an embarrassing secret quiet.

there's no way someone like this should be trusted with even low-level national secrets, never mind handing him the nuclear button.


yeah, there's the whole russian thing, too, but you don't need to dig that deep to know he's a "serious threat to us national security".

9. The GOP knew this when they decided to get behind him and his campaign.

His habits of chasing women were well known facts long before he ran. They knew a real security clearance check would be impossible for him to pass. But they backed him anyway. So they got exactly what they chose. tRump is bad, but the GOP is worse because they knew what he was and still stayed with him. We all are waiting for them to explain WHY. Please proceed.
