The National Security Council was totally nuts

[quadraginta]

<snip>

You gotta wonder who the "senior administration official" who they interviewed was considering they seem to agree with this nutcase. Bannon? Gorka? Miller? Whoever it is it's clear that they have obviously no place on any position of importance in the whitehouse or any other government and state institution.

I can think of some state institutions where they should hold the position of important resident.

Ones with soft walls and nice young men in clean white coats.

It would be no different if a card-carying member of the John Birch Society was a national security advisor or some similar position.

If only they were that restrained and temperate in their beliefs.

John Birchers are Cub Scouts compared to this bunch.

We've seen what it's like with John Birchers in senior positions. It was called the Reagan Administration.

Never imagined I'd miss those days.

It's funny but there are some of us on the right who thought all that stuff was BS. How many on the left think comparable stuff about Trump is silly?

"Trump colluded with the Russians on the Wikileaks emails."
"The Russians hacked the election."

Deflect with false equivalences? How very predictable...

Not to mention the heretofore unsuspected eloquence of W.
Comparatively speaking, of course.

I'm not on the left so much, but I don't think that the above allegations are anywhere near as silly as the claim that Obama is a secret Muslim.

Indeed, that the Russians interfered with the election is not even controversial. Now, maybe you mean something else by "hacked", but otherwise, the implication that it is silly is a bit hard to understand.

This is like saying that there's some truth to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Really it's not wrong. It just sounds like a bunch of conspiratorial and antisemitic nonsense even-though it isn't.

And then leaving it up to the listener/reader to figure out which is which.

Presumably you either really believe this, or are only trying to get a rise out of the "liberals" here. Either way you have left me very depressed about the level of political discussion current in the USA.

I suspect that he will return to define the word to mean "change voting tallies." And to claim that he was referring specifically to Trump and not to his family members or to his campaign. i.e. Brainstet will claim that he was not referring to the broader aspects of these areas already well documented.

Ironically even the Russian changing the actual voting tallies or Trump himself colluding with them are real possibilities that are under investigation by congress and the department of Justice, unlike the delusional paranoia spouted by the axe- NSC me,bet.

There's a reason why Flynn was forced out of the military...

 

[fuelair]

There's a far larger number who voted for him.

And they are still in the famous Basket of Deplorables!!!!!

 

[ponderingturtle]

I remember Flynn's son getting forced out because of his support for Pizzagate.
