The real story here is that government officials feel the need to shield Trump from their decision making, plans and actions that an otherwise fully engaged and competent President should be guiding and leading.

Trump thinks that any reporting that does not praise him is treason. But whatever action he takes to hold on to power, whether colluding with Russia, disparaging US intelligence at Helsinki, sewing chaos within NATO, or selling nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia - all of which weaken security, well thatās just fine! Time for him to be impeached.
But in admitting it, the shield may no longer work so well. While I am glad to see at least the idea that there is some effort to combat foreign, specifically Russian, interference, I almost wish that the information were not public. Trump and his administration will now be doing whatever they can to shut it down.
Well, this is a damn shame. Moron found out and that will be the end of this program. Moron is clearly terrified of what Vlad will do. Wouldnāt be surprised if there was a purge in the DoD cyber command.
Classic projection. Sad!
This shouldnāt be considered a new story. In 2017, the USIC had to deny that they were keeping him out of the loop.
If one wanted to treat this as a new story, then the story should center on the military telling reporters how they really feel.
Of course thereās the surveillance issue, but that story is āboringā.

Argentina and Uruguay power grids are down right now,
Electrical failure cuts power to all of Argentina and Uruguay, supplier says
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-48652686
āA massive failure in the electrical interconnection system left all of Argentina and Uruguay without power,ā electricity supplier company Edesur said in a tweet.
The combined population of Argentina and Uruguay is about 48 million people.
Thatās exactly how I feel about it. I really wish the NYT hadnāt reported this because now he knows and will try to stop it.
What was it that Nancy was saying about this guy? Something about knowing right from wrong?
I give you yet another example.
Consider: It may be a classic false-flag trap so as to trace Trumpās upcoming contacts with Russians to try and stop the pseudo-action and so further collect info on him as a de facto useful-idiot agent for the Russians.
(When you read enough spy stories/novels over time, you never take geo-political stuff at face value.)
And someone named Crooked Hillary, about his being unqualified by temperament. And who so deeply offended the refined sensibilities of all those poor misunderstood baying hyenas of both gender who attend his election and post election rallies.
Pentagon and intelligence officials didnāt give Trump a detailed briefing of their plans due to concerns that Trump would either countermand the attacks or talk about them with foreign officials.
Uhh, ummmā¦Iām no expert on how the IC is supposed to work, but wouldnāt you think this would be a slight problem? They think heās a spy.
Hereās the thing though, while itāll put me in the camp of those that Iāll later have problems with, one of the issues that I have with this story, is that cyber command is possibly an independent entity (?).
Thereās no such thing as complete privacy and whatever is left is borderline complicated. However, I donāt know if folks should be happy about a silent expansion of the surveillance state.
Heās too stupid to do anything about it. If he werenāt stupid, he would have known about it.
No, they think he is a big mouthed moron who wants to impress whoever he is with, even if the person he is with represents a hostile power.
And they are right.
He is either a national security threat or not.
I choose the former.
hi war - itās āsowingā - sewing chaos is what 45* 's tailors do
