tRump melting down on twitter tonight.

According to CNN around 7:55 PM the jackass ended a twitter rant about CIA Director John Brennan with "Is this (he) the source of the CIA leaks?"

I think he's hiding something big and he knows Brennan is aware of it.

down Trump's presidency. I also think that there are several people who know what it is. They are just patiently waiting for it to unfold. Dianne Feinstein seems to be in the loop. She was emphatic that Russia and Comey sabotaged Hillary's candidacy.

I am now in the camp that believes that this is going to be a crisis uglier than we could have imagined.

Trump and the people around him know that too.

I'm not hopeful, but I would not be surprised. I don't, however, expect him to last for more than a year before he is arrested and removed from office. Pence, however, is a traitor too. He's in on it. We are headed for a very strange time.

Agreed.

For her she seemed apoplectic, and said straight with no chaser that Comey and Russia sabotaged Hillary's candidacy, and she's usually one to speak and use words very carefully.

When describing what she feels happened TO Hillary, she didn't mince any words.

John Brennan: Trump's 'Nazi Germany' tweet to US agencies was 'outrageous'

The outgoing CIA director admonished the president-elect for ‘talking and tweeting’ without fully understanding Russia’s threat to national security

Departing CIA director John Brennan criticized Donald Trump on Sunday for his approach to national security, saying the president-elect should not be carelessly “talking and tweeting” without understanding Russia’s threat to the US.
Mike Pence insists Trump campaign has not been in contact with Russia

Brennan also said he took “great umbrage” at Trump’s suggestion that agencies biased against him were behaving as if the US were “Nazi Germany”.

“Now that he’s going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting,” Brennan told Fox News Sunday, “he’s going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that US and national security interests are protected.

“I think he has to be mindful that he does not have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road.”

is getting long. The nickname 'Pinnochio Pence' will probably stick as time goes along, because he's earning it.

When you see a professed "christian" systematically violating the Commandment to "not bear false witness," pay attention. Pay close attention.

Mike Pence was a young lawyer on the rise, challenging a longtime Democratic congressman in a Republican-leaning Indiana district.

And then, scandal.

Campaign finance records from the 1990 effort showed that Pence, then 31, had been using political donations to pay the mortgage on his house, his personal credit card bill, groceries, golf tournament fees and car payments for his wife.

that Trump's "a social media genius"?

See, it can propel your messages bigly at the touch of a finger. But it can also make you look like the enormous, dangerous ass you are to a wide, wide audience, and there's no taking it back.

I get up this a.m. and check the usual news sites and find out he thinks Brennan is the leaker and NATO is obsolete. What next? Activating nukes in the silos in the middle of the night via tweet?
