Trump's latest tweet explains my disdain:

Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!

Okay, I did...

Okay, I admit that being an American, I should prefer Bourbon over Scotch, but what can I say ... I am an Anglophile. :D

I really hope I am wrong. Even though I have personal disdain for Trump on a multitude of levels, I would really rather eat crow and take back my words when I find out that he becomes the best...

under what provision of the Constitution? As long as he is thirty-five years of age, born in the U.S, and elected by the Electoral College, there is nothing any other agency can do to limit his...

The shear fact that he does not release them means that it is important enough to him that it can be used against him. I don't care what his personal reasons are. Reality is, he does not want them...

Who, The President Elect? No, the FBI does not vet him.

Actually no. None of the financial information is in the public forum.

Trump was always a sexual pervert. That was never in question. Nor does he really care about that (that I can tell). He...

I stand by this statement. Let's watch what happens in the Baltics over the next two years.

Lets see if Trump continues Obama's expansion of our European Reassurance Initiative, or if the money...

Thanks. I am glad we can at least be civil.

Azor,

Do you know how the first openly gay linguist at the NSA was able to keep his security clearance?

"officials believed that a talented NSA linguist might be gay and stripped him of his...

... and yet, you go straight to Hillary.

This is no longer an exchange of ideas. I wish you luck in you future endeavors.

Trump can solve half of this problem by simply releasing his tax returns and financial records. The shear fact that he does not indicates that there is something he wants to keep from the American...

Azor, get over your Hillary complex. She is not the President and she is not in the picture. If people don't like Trump, it is because they don't like Trump. Hillary did not tell Trump to ask the...

... and none of them came up with the intelligence. Nor would they ever come up with the intelligence. As you have pointed out, they are simply political appointees. They are not the dedicated...

The people who do the work in the CIA/NSA are not political appointees. They are career civil servants, many of whom put their life on the line to do what they do. If they thought it was a problem,...

You are missing the point. Here is a Trump Tweet from today:

Trump sees this as a personal attack on him by the U.S. Intelligence Community!

So how do you expect Trump will receive word from...

Donald Trump 'briefed on former British spy's report that Russia claims to have damaging information about him'

A former British spy reportedly tipped off US intelligence that Russian operatives...

Trump Received Unsubstantiated Report That Russia Had Damaging Information About Him



https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/politics/donald-trump-russia-intelligence.html?_r=0

I expect him to leave ISIS to the Russians outside of Iraq, or at a minimum, follow their lead. I also don't expect him to change the current policy much in Iraq. He will talk tough, but I don't...

No one is questioning the legitimacy of the election. That is a discussion for elsewhere.

Look, this thread is about Trump, not about Hillary Clinton, not about Obama, not about Bill Clinton. ...

Azor,

This is no longer about Clinton or Obama. This is all about Trump. Trump won the election so the question is not about what ifs and more about what is to come. Based on his personality...

Don't confuse how we got here with what will happen next. I believe that it is very possible that, based on the team Trump has assembled so far and his pension for looking for scapegoats when things...

I think you may find this book interesting

... of course, when they write that history of the collapse of American Democracy, they will be writing in it Cyrillic.

I think I understand your argument (but probably don't). My guess (or hope) is that, 50 years from now when historians look back at the collapse of American Democracy, they will see that it started...
