Achtung, y’all!

“This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics,” Brennan charged in his chilling tweet.

“It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances,” he added.

The walls are closing in on the man who would be king.

Obviously they’re so panicked by this latest turn by Omarosa that they’re pulling the shit they floated back in July.

Distract and move. Change the subject. Rev up the base with bullshit and try to shove us over the brink before the midterms, or change the rules between November and January.

Banana republic, here we come.

Trump revoking John Brennan's security clearance, the reasons being given are the risks posed by his "erratic conduct & behavior" "increasingly frenzied commentary" "wild outbursts on the internet and television" and that he is "highly partisan."



There will be more to come.  You dont just get that shit for life
You do not lose a privilege because you criticize a President either.

Well.  Charges that the President committed treason are clearly impeachable offenses. Absent any action along those lines though  proceed with caution.
And? You post that as if it means something in context.
Yes I do.

From Hannity? I should read it. I'm sure it's got a lot of backwards letters and is written in crayon. I like crayon.

Speaking of SHS...

She has issued a correction after she claimed that Donald Trump created 3 times more jobs in 1.5 years than Obama did in 8.

The correction isn't notable or commendable, since it is an all too rare example of her doing her job professionally. 

What is notable is that she made that mistake at all.  Claiming that Obama only created 195,000 jobs for African Americans (when he created more than 3 million) in 8 years is absolutely outrageous.  They are laughable on their face, and any person with one ounce of knowledge of what is going on in the world would have questioned them before repeating the false claim to the media.

It reveals a terrible combination of drinking the kool-aid (how many jobs did she think Obama created in total, a million?) and simple stupidity.  And arrogant stupidity too.  Confidently quoting the figure as proof against the President's racism, as if the two facts have any relationship to each other. 

Really was an unintentionally insightful press conference yesterday.

The "correction" was bogus, too, as it happens - based on election day to July for each period, allowing Obama to be blamed for Bush job losses and allowing Trump to take credit for jobs gained before he got into office.

I know you are in stalk mode, YG - and this is an open forum, but when a member of the forum is QUOTED, the question is pretty much aimed at them for a response.


But it remains an open forum.

It's not like practice what you preach.

Party of Stupid.

The only question is whether this SCOTUS is going to join them or if it will continue to uphold that aspect of the Constitution.

Why does the GOP keep trying to shove their religious beliefs down everybody else's throats?


I take it back. It is only *mostly* GOP - the bill was initiated by a Dem.

Still a stupid bill and the GOP should never have supported it.

Good to see that he is learning.

But no - he walked his comment about America back. More's the pity.
