Trump and Intelligence Briefings

Post by K Graham »

Apparently it was just impossible to brief him on anything because it required listening, and Trump constantly interrupted with his derailing rants.

Given this, why would anyone want a commander in chief who cannot have adult discussions with military officials? This alone should disqualify him. And the fact that military officials were preparing a contingency to thwart Trump's attempt at a coup.

I've always said, I could excuse his policies and some of the lying, and even the fact that he's an incurable asshole, but he should never be President because he's damned incompetent.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

I can’t quite tell from the video clip, but did Mr. Priest disclose his sources that fed him this information? Here’s his lawfare podcast interview that might shed more light on the matter:

It’s 55 minutes, so I don’t feel like listening to it, but perhaps someone here will.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Fairly interesting, but nothing earth shattering. The spookiest part was that, for the last month his presidency, Trump was neither being briefed or reading the PDB.
