About that crisis at the border the Intelligence Agencies failed to mention ā€¦

This was over a year ago. The security situation mustā€™ve rapidly disintegrated (no pun intended) under the iron-fisted leadership of Spankee the Caveman.

Why? Wouldnā€™t it be better if we just let him jump off the roof? It would solve a lot of problemsā€¦

More popcorn as the orange one realizes he just got run over.

Curious to know how repigs on committee reacted to this testimony. Did they just roll their eyes & put their fingers in their ears??

The FBI probably came to those conclusions because they studied the facts. Not basing the outcome on their wishes and because a crazy murderous dictator gave them a letter larded with compliments.

Trumpā€™s almost singular focus on security gaps at the border as the biggest threat facing the United States

Except that Trump doesnā€™t think security gaps at the border are the biggest threat facing the United States.

He believes that slackening fear among voters of foreigners is the biggest threat to his own presidency.

And heā€™s wrong there, too.

The biggest threat to his presidency is either Mueller or Nancy Pelosi (hard to predict the future). And nobody in the CIA, FBI, or USMIL can stop that.

Did he have anything to say about the urgent need to rescue Venezuelan oil from the hands of democratic-socialists?

I think they pretty much contradicted him on everything he says about our national security and foreign policy priorities.

This whole apologist talking point about judging him on his actions and not his crazy, lying tweets kinda falls apart when you realize that imaginary caravans from Central America donā€™t require a mobilization of troops, withdrawing from NATO and the UN is not a desirable move, his personal relationship with Kim has no bearing on the realpolitik involved and ISIS is still a threat no matter how much he wants to please Putin who is himself a threat.

And now we have Bolton and Abrams making sure that we mix it up with Iran.

No matter how you look at it, this is a clusterfuck.

Hey, didnt you follow the news? The instant GWBā€™s term ended, 11M undocumented people appeared spontaneously and suddenly inside the USA mainland. It was an exigent circumstance that caused Arizona and Alabama State Legislatures to pass their own immigration and Papers Please laws.

Every one of those 11million people was instantly operating a taco stand on a corner somewhere. We do have 11 million corners donā€™t we??

Disclaimerā€¦
I love me some tacos.

Donā€™t forget Boltonā€™s note about sending 5000 troops to Venezuela.

You mean that deliberate little bit of strategery that they thought would be clever?

The guy did everything but point to it.

Embarrassingly stupid tradecraft.

Embarrassingly stupid is a highly valued characteristic in this bunch. I hesitate to even call it an ā€œadministrationā€.
