5. I disagree. This is a wedge that can pry them apart.

Some reports may have gotten sloppy with the details, but the main thrust is correct: Trump put two political operatives on the Principles Committee of the National Security Agency while relegating the people who are actually charged with national security to the "we'll call you if we need you" boondocks.

The top tier of the NSA will be a circle jerk of Trump's people, filtering what gets to him. Foremost among them is a guy who is so right wing that he calls the National Review and Weekly Standard "left wing" publications.

After all the horseshit about Obama and Hillary being so "terrible" for national security, the sTrumpets are doing it FOR REAL in big, obvious ways. Blow this horn loud! Daily. Hit them with it right between the eyes. Undermine the bastard.

I've left more Republicans who are usually jeering assholes in sullen silence in the past three days than I have in the last six months. This hits the smug f***ers in a place they think they own. Don't abandon it because some of the i's and t's mix up the dots and crosses.
