No way. My devious sneaky plan is when Chump is booted out, and when most cultists here return to normal, I will get to say "I told you so"

I also follow the news. Yes MSM, and figuring out what will happen is interesting and challenging. I also get to get fresh manic updates on Trumps cultist views.

Always amazing

Having fundamental problems with both the left and "new" right in this country is very liberating.
Liberating? Gotta admit if you don't get to depressed, there is some amazing stuff going on

Fascinating times...

American Democracy though is too inefficient (? probably the best word) for someone like Trump to have lasting impact.

Despite what everyone on here would have you believe the country is actually moving more left than right under this administration but... <shrug> its a weird left... Trumpism will be a subject talked about in Universities in a decade or two.

I'm starting to believe PA Mike pays you to post here, creating more traffic for his site.....After all, the majority of right-wingers that make up this board need their daily intake of liberal red meat......Next.

Its quite apparent from this whole thread that absolutely none of you understand how security clearances work.
Did I totally miss this? What “situation on the ground” is he consulting on? And consulting who?

Retirees with security clearances are sometimes tapped for insight on current situations.

My example was a CIA station operator in Southeast Asia who recently retired. The situation has changed and his replacement is calling him to let him know the lay of the land and seek his opinion.

This stuff is quite common in any industry.

Fat Donny has that covered.
All he has to do is call on expert-of-evertything Jared Kusher.
There's no need to call in any recently retired area experts.
Remember: Fat Donny solemnly promised the American people that he would always bring in the BEST people to tackle every problem.

The whole Russia Meddled in our Election thingy was on Obama's watch. So yeah, the card is played at my convenience. Every day, all day long if I cared to.

The economy is rolling along just fine. Enjoy ( or be miserable)

Paul has just disliked Brennan a helluva lot longer than Trump.

Occams Razor
Well, as it has turned out, Paul's opinion of Brennan should have been taken much more seriously a long time ago. Obama screwed up, but then again, maybe he didn't.

Thankfully traditional institutions(and I am on the left)come to bear against him. Even those on the alt right will reach a point where Trump is beyond par. At least that's what will happen short term. Longer tern demographics support the country moving left. Education also assists the leftwards move.

The Faux Noos generation is diminishing and their audience will be almost gone in 10-15 years. Trump will be a blip or maybe a "blimp" on the graph.
