Maher called Trump “a whiny little bitch” who never takes responsibility the other night in the context of his incredulity that anyone would see Trump as a “strong leader”
WTF? Donnie comes out with a bunch of BS and Spicy runs in to counter? Kind of? Are we playing ‘good cop bad cop’? AHOLES.
Ohhh sure. O fired Flynn without taking away his keys, so O made it possible for Flynn to have access to a subsequent administration populated by idiots.
Shorter Old Spice, “If Obama hadn’t told President Trump not to hire Flynn there is no way we would have. See it is all Obama’s fault.”
Un-fucking-believable.
Its the Donny180 rule working perfectly again.
Obama- “Don’t hire him he’s dirty and under surveillance.”
Donny-“Thanks Barack we don’t want to start out stupid.”
Donny180- “The lying Kenyon thinks I’m stupid I’m definitely hiring Flynn first. FU n*****.”
I suspect that is not too far from reality…
Is it safe to say Flynn is Trump’s ticket to high crimes, not just misdemeanors?
And Trump’s not helping himself by attacking Sally Yates, it looks like another openly confessional projection.
Leaking evidence of the high crime of treason is a patriotic act, WHOEVER did it.
Tweeting that the leak is more a crime than the treason it exposed is a not-very-subtle confession.
Trump’s living proof that silence is golden… not orange.
Its Tweedledum and Tweedledee all over again (Trump and Spicehead).
They work as a team.
I was going to point that firing thing out on your previous post but never mind.
maybe they’ll just send everyone now covered a can’t-get-up button and call it “Medicaid?”
…be careful with these shysters, they can make one of their lies into policy faster than a Trump signing another Russian loan.
I bet Flynn and his Russian handlers consider(ed) Trump a patsy. He’s their mark, and Putin’s running the whole sting.
At no time that I can remember has the term “useful idiot” been more apt.
How much can we take from this moron? I don’t think he listens to himself. He looks really stupid. You are blaming some one for the guy you hired? How does that make any sense? Smh
I guess firing him isn’t as good as ‘suspending his security clearance’. You can just let him sit there collecting a salary with nothing to do…that’s how the TRUMP WH seems to ‘work’…
An open question for commentors, I’m still mystified over this, and how it hasn’t been exposed as much as it seems available for.
Who was passing Putin’s orders along to Trump’s campaign?
Was Flynn the main source of the link that incited the pressure to change the Republican Party platform over Ukrainian armaments?
Anyone heard one way or another, who was pushing those agendas through the Trump campaign so irrevocably?
There seems to be a key in that connection that is already there to view, but we don’t know what lock it opens… or something like that.
It just makes sense, that big a demand had to come through the most direct source, were Manafort AND Flynn BOTH pushing it? even from a distance?
And where was Murdoch and his pet attack dog Ailles during all this Russian agenda-docking?
Uncovering that should prove the question of treason…
… as if there is a question anymore.
He also claimed that Obama’s administration should have suspended Flynn’s security clearance “if that was truly a concern, more than just a person that didn’t — had bad blood.”
Lying fuck. As was posted on another thread this line of bullshit is so misleading and wrong as to constitute a fraud and a lie by Shitty Spice™.
A common response to this post, here and on Twitter, is: Yeah, but Obama “renewed” Flynn’s clearance in 2016!
No. Wrong.
After Trump won the election, Flynn became the incoming National Security Advisor. His clearance was already in JPAS. But he needed to do another background check (a NACI) because too much time had passed since his last periodic update (typically every 4 years, but for certain levels of access it can be more often).
Because he was the incoming National Security Advisor and because AT THAT TIME there was no reason not to grant him access, Flynn was given an INTERIM clearance so that he could do his job.
This is perfectly normal and a necessary part of the process for these kinds of situations. Without it, the government would grind to a stop. More: without an interim clearance, Flynn couldn’t have been briefed by the outgoing National Security Advisor – because when Susan Rice left office, her access was suspended because she had no longer a need to know, she was no longer a federal employee. There has to be some overlap. So, Flynn was given an interim clearance so he could be brought up to speed by Rice.
Flynn was granted interim clearance and access while he updated his security background check, which begins with him filling out an SF-86. Yes, this WAS done under the Obama Administration, but again at that point there was no reason not to.
So, Flynn has an interim clearance and he is now required to update his permanent clearance. And during that process, he failed to disclose foreign contacts.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM.
When that discrepancy came to light (by now, under the new administration), HIS ACCESS WAS REVOKED and his clearance suspended pending investigation.
At which point he was fired/resigned/what have you and now he NO LONGER HAS A NEED TO KNOW.
So, saying “Obama renewed Flynn’s clearance in 2016” is not only wrong, but demonstrates that the speaker has no idea of what he’s talking about.
Well of course Trump hired Flynn, since he was so highly recommended by his previous boss.
No, wait…
Welcome to today’s episode of As The Worm Squirms.
As we are seeing with the rest of the clowns inhabiting Trump’s clown car… Trump is not a big believer in the formal vetting process. He would much rather trust his ‘gut’.
And the only way that Trump would have even listened to any advice that Mr Obama said would have been if Mr Obama had begun each sentence my laying prostate on the floor and proclaiming “Mr Trump, I know you are a genius of the first order but I beg you to consider…”. Trump’s clear pattern is to only treat the utterances of others with respect if the speaker first professes fealty to the lord and master, Mr Trump. Does anybody really believe that anything like this may have happened?
