Trumped Again
Trump steps in it again!!
Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
But wait a minute. What was this "highly classified information"?
Israel was source for some of the information shared with Russian officials
Trump reportedly disclosed details about how ISIS aims to use laptops as bombs on planes, though the President apparently did not directly reveal the source of the information.
Laptop bombs on planes? Now, where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah. The Washington Post. Back in March.
Trump won’t allow you to use iPads or laptops on certain airlines. Here’s why.
But do laptop bombs even work? And how new are they? Well, there was that one time at band camp, er, in Somalia in 2016.
Pilot after Somalia emergency: Airport security is ‘zero’
A spokesman for the Somali government said that closed-circuit footage at the Mogadishu airport shows two men handing what looks like a laptop computer to the suspected suicide bomber after he passed through the security checkpoint.
But this is different from the dozens of laptop bomb stories we've seen in the Washington Post ever since 9/11/2001 (remember when you had to power up your laptop when going through security?). This time is DIFFERENT! Right? This is
Breaking News!!
because we can bash Trump with it!!
Does anyone else smell a Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post? Well, something smells here. Might not be a Pulitzer, though.
Comments
The Russians don't read American papers so they never knew
about the laptop issues. Trump went ahead and told them directly. He should be shot for treason.
Russians use American papers for fish wrap and sanitation (there's a widespread lack of TP and toilets due to US sanctions).
Wait just a minute thar!
Wasn't it Duplicitous Donna who told people not to read Russian news because she didn't? Or was it Chris Cuomo who said something like: don't pay attention to anything you might read until we tell you how to think about or even whether it's safe to read at all?
I had the same thought
There are soooooo many legitimate reasons to criticize Trump, but this is yet another spasm of affected indignation because Russia is involved.
God forbid that someone
should warn the Russians about an impending terrorist attack. The whole story was nonsensical.
"Obama promised transparency, but Assange is the one who brought it."
lol - they are going to impeach him over something...
Lord knows he doesn't deserve to be in charge. Problem is...Pence. One worse than the other. I want a redo with Bernie.
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon
Amen to that.
I still want Bernie even though he's supposedly sold out. It still boggles my mind that the Democratic Party thought Hillary Clinton (!!) should be their candidate.
Follow the money. Best and tersest US political advice ever.

Lavrov may be sent to Russian gulag
for not sharing secrets with Putin.
Again, Putin proves he is the only adult in the room.
The only adult in the room
No kidding. He and Lavrov take positions that are incredibly logical and moderate. I find it very disturbing that so many people have bought the brainwashing from the MSM about Russia and her leaders. Russia still wants a workable partnership with the US. Even among my Liberal friends I encounter so much Russia bashing that it makes it impossible to have a rational discussion. This biased attitude towards Russia has been a goal of the West and particularly the US and they have succeed spectacularly at this. It seems that the US goal is to beat up every other country in the world until they give in to the US perception of how they should act. The problem is that we suffer enormously by not being good partners with Russia, and risk it all in every disagreement.
I'll say it here. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is one of the great statesman of the 21st century. He led Russia out of chaos and poverty and made her great again. He brought peace and security to Russia and control of the oligarchs. He was right in about every decision, including the need for Russia to be strong against US exceptionalism. He balances the desires of the urban professional class with the more conservative rural Russia. Please listen to him speak on many You Tube videos. He is logical and moderate and always stresses support of the UN and observation of international law. There is a reason that his approval rating is 85 to 90% among the Russian population. Russians love their freedoms, the right to vote and enjoy the benefits of Capitalism, moderated with many social benefits as in free health care and education and guaranteed time off for vacations and sickness. They have the highest level of education of any country. What is shocking to me is that we want them to be an enemy. Ridiculous!
Capitalism has always been the rule of the people by the oligarchs. You only have two choices, eliminate them or restrict their power.
Lavrov in exile for not sharing secrets?
Putin gets in a very subtle dig at the US actions in firing Flynn.
"Political Schizophrenia" Apt description.
O.k. When is the next meeting for the revolution?

Washington Post is saying that the info came from ISIS
I too read that Israel was the source, but know they are saying it came from ISIS through the CIA. We all know that the FBI is famous for finding a dysfunctional patsy who they then spend money on to buy their stuff they need to try to blow something up. This activity went through the roof during Comey's time as the head of the FBI.
Remember hearing how many plots they discovered and then we find out that the person wouldn't have been able to do squat if they hadn't supplied the money and supplies.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
And they want to impeach Trump?!?!
The CIA is angry at the President for revealing collaboration between IS operatives and their US Government handlers in attacks on Russian targets.
WTF? US Government handlers are helping IS kill Russians? Do these frackers not have any moral compass at all?
This was a rhetorical question I presume
Please remember that the Corrupt Interference Agency's sole purpose is to safeguard the citizens of our country. They have found many excellent ways by which to do this. You know, like funding missiles for Iran with CIA procured cocaine. I thought cocaine was an illicit drug but apparently only when dispensed in this country.
Then of course we Barry Hussain establishing ISIS from the roots of Al-Qaeda and then the CIA funding them.
Trump didn't break the law
Enjoy:
Let's assume the info was tippity top double secret.
Trump said he shared it for humanitarian reasons. Would it be ok to let people on Russian passenger die for lack of sharing this info with high level Russian government officials? If so, why?
Would it be a ok to let the terrorists who don't get on the plane get away for lack of this information, just because they are operating in a Russian airport? If so, why?
