It looks like pointing out to 'G' what an obvious idiot he made of himself hit a nerve.




How did your beloved 'democratic' party fuck up so badly?

Ynet in Israel is reporting that Israeli intelligence officials are deciding not to share intelligence with the incoming Trump administration. The report indicates they came to this conclusion after a recent meeting with American intelligence officials, who told them the Russians have "leverages of pressure" to use against Trump.
www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4906642,00.html

This is an extraordinary story. If our intelligence community really believes this, then playtime is over.

Nothing in the behavior of officials like Director of National Intelligence James Clapper or FBI chief James Comey has offered any clarity to the situation. Both appear determined to keep taking the fork in the road all the way to inauguration.

No more Clapper-style hedging or waffling. If Israel gets to hear why the CIA thinks Trump is compromised, how is the American public not also so entitled?

But if all the CIA has are unverifiable rumors, they can't do this, not even to Donald Trump.

The only solution is an immediate unveiling of all the facts and an urgent public investigation. A half-assed whispering campaign a half week from a Trump presidency, with BuzzFeed at the center of the action, isn't going to cut it. We need to know what the likes of Clapper and Comey know, and we need it all now, before it's too late.

Oh, btw SECOND, do you know what 'yes, but ...' means? It means NO.

YOUR SOURCE is the weaselly 'yes but' variety. I would have disbelieved that story, but ...

YOU TOO are among the idiots that swallowed that shit.

So, just to remind you - you signed on to the fake news 'watersportsgate'.

I will keep reminding you, individually and plural, of that. You believed it because it was in the 'news' purveyed by 'reliable sources', and because you all suffer from a severe case of confirmation bias.

The fact that you all signed onto this demonstrates you're all EXTREMELY gullible, and make exactly zero effort to check what you read. You just react. And that makes you the perfect target of propaganda. And you all just demonstrated what perfect, willing, obedient little targets you are - not only signing on to propaganda, but endorsing it, spreading it, embellishing it, and defending it.

How about this "Fake News" (except it is not fake):

Peter Thiel, who spoke at Trump's nominating convention, is among a growing number of Californians in favor of a CalExit—California seceding from the union to form its own country, a move supported by Uber and Hyperloop co-founder Shervin Pishevar.

“I think it would be good for California, good for the rest of the country,” Thiel said in a recent New York Times interview.
www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/fashion/peter-thiel-confirm-or-deny.html

It would help Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign in 2020 if California became a separate country. It is the richest state, paying the most Federal Taxes and having the most electoral votes, 55, compared to Texas' 38 and New York's and Florida's 29. California voters were principally responsible for Hillary Clinton’s win of the national popular vote in the recent presidential election.

It’s unclear if Thiel has aligned himself with the “Yes California” movement, www.yescalifornia.org which is controversial because it’s led by Louis Marinelli—a New Yorker by birth currently living in Russia. Marinelli has spent considerable time championing the idea in Russia, where the government is supportive of nearly every separatist movement in the states, from Texas to Hawaii.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_J._Marinelli

“Yes California” wants to place an initiative on the 2018 ballot. Should that pass, a special election would be held in 2019. Voters would then have to pass a special referendum separating the Golden State from the rest of the US.

Impossible? Stranger things have happened in American politics. The Trump administration could really convince states to leave the USA. California wouldn't have to worry about Trump becoming the next Abraham Lincoln saving the Union because keeping California in the USA would not be to Trump's advantage in the next election.

If California were to leave the US it could be 100 years before we saw a Democrat for president again. I don't think that is a good thing.

The idea that this could actually happen is laughable though. How could you start a country when you're already that far in debt?

I mean, financially it would be wonderful for the rest of the country, but I just don't see how this could ever happen.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

This sounds like "Fake News", but it is not.

You ask: "How would you start a country when you're already that far in debt?" That debt is NOT California's. It belongs to Trump's Federal Government. Trump won't be able to get California to pick up one 50th of the National Debt. California is not married to Trump. When California leaves the Union, it won't pay Donald's debts. Or alimony.

Also, leaving the Union might be an excellent opportunity for California to cheat anyone outside of the state who bought bonds inside the state. That would be a very Trump-like business move, if you remember his history as a real estate developer. California can learn from the Master how to get rich by declaring bankruptcy and not keeping your promises. If Trump doesn't like California cheating on him, he can sue it in what court? The UN? The Supreme Court? International Criminal Court?

I think Californians should sell their Federal Treasury Bonds before they vote to leave the Union because the USA will lose its credit rating if the succession vote wins. On the plus side for California, $292,563,574,000 in Federal Taxes a year will not be going to Trump for him to waste.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_tax_revenue_by_state

It all sounds like "Fake News", but enough Californians already now dislike Trump and the Republican Congress that he would be wise to not make that worse. But Wisdom is not one of Trump's attributes, is it?
