https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/865573793531478017I am looking forward to Trump's trip
It's like gawking at a car accident. Or waiting for the man with the knife to jump out at you during a scary movie.
What will happen? There is no way in hell he won't fuck up. The potential is amazingly horrific.
I'll sit on my couch, peering out from the pillow on my lap when I check the news.
I've been semi-hysterical today
I mutter or say "Israel" and break up laughing.
This is so bad. Yes, it may not been illegal, but how damn DUMB do you have tho be to not recognize the seriousness, repercussions and reactions to sharing classified information like that.
And with Israel.
Let's pick an ally with intense spying who shares lots of info to keep us safe, and piss them off.
And then not understand why they cut us off.
I've not bought into the "he's going to kill us all" mentality up until now, but he's going to kill a lot of us.
I can either cry, or laugh hysterically.
The source was compromised the instant Trump told the Russians
Has ISIS gotten to them?
Trump and his ilk didn't warn them. Did he have no idea the danger for the person, the people, or did he just not give a fuck?
Will other governments share intelligence info in the future?
Not only did the narcissistic asshole endanger sources, let ISIS learn how they were infiltrated, share info without the source's permission, but WHO will be stupid enough to share intelligence in the future with the USA, not only while Trump is in power, but for a long time.
I never...with few exceptions
OJ never killed anybody, with few exceptions.
I never was pregnant, with few exceptions.
(Hat tip to other duers, add yours in)
I was never unemployed, with few exceptions.
My parents never died, with few exceptions.
OMG. WTF? Poof goes my brain. Fox in the henhouse says all is well.
