New trump admin setting itself up to be national security threat from the get go.

No rules, no laws, no ethics, no morality, no standards, no decency.

Get used to it.

The Narrative

 

[hadit]

Actually, Trump is doing the exact same thing he did the last time.

Hosting a digital beauty contest of sleazy characters, yes men, cranks, and reactionary firebrands for the entertainment of his base.

Last time, he ignored the GSA, and didn’t bother to vet his clown car, either.

You’re cheering for autocracy. Every one of you Trumpsters are cheering loudly as you egg your beloved fuhrer on in his effort to make himself a king.

Godwin's, automatic fail.

 

[kyzr]

You are giving me deflection fatigue.

You lie about Trump and I post the truth about Biden.
Biden's open borders are the real National Security disaster.
Your daily whines about Trump mean nothing.

 

[kyzr]

The checks he is trying to avoid do not question the loyalty of the people he chooses. Only whether they should be given security clearances. He's trying to do en masse what he did with Jared at the beginning of his first term.

Officials rejected Jared Kushner for top secret security clearance, but were overruled​

This is what autocracy looks like.

The ME looked better under Trump and Jarad than it does under Biden and Harris. Call it competence, not "autocracy".

 

[Polishprince]

Its up to the national security apparatus to be loyal to the Constitution and the citizens of the country. Not the prez.

So, in your view, the choice of the people has to play 2nd fiddle to unelected spies?

So Stalin was wrong for firing Yezhov?

That's not how it works, stupid.

It's a given that Tulsi will be setting up a high-speed network to directly transfer all US intelligence secrets to Russia, China, and every other hostile foreign power, with the full approval of all Trump cultists. I mean, look at them here, all doing Russias's bidding so gleefully. She won't even demand payment for it, like Trump did. She'll do it purely out of ideological devotion to Mother Russia.

Thus, all US intelligence assets overseas need to assume they'll be compromised, and get the hell out.

Cool story, bro. Needs more dragons.

Biden is trying to start WW3 with Russia

Putin gets a pass from you? Figures.

They know they've been duped AGAIN but can't admit it.

 

[hadit]

Biden is trying to start WW3 with Russia and you are still complaining about President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks.


You are a full blown retard.

I believe QPJ and his handlers are trying to saddle TRUMP! with a situation so dangerous that he can't risk upsetting the power structure in Washington too much.

The conditions leading to the current conflict were made worse by trump. Even now trump emboldens the war criminal known as Netanyahu.

The International Criminal Court said on Thursday that it had issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, dealing a sharp blow to Israel’s global legitimacy as it battles militants on multiple fronts.

The court on Thursday also said it had issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif.

The International Criminal Court rejected Israel’s challenges to its jurisdiction, and also issued a warrant for a top Hamas official. Its chief prosecutor had sought the arrests for war crimes in Gaza.

Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says.​

Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.

Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office.

In calls with foreign heads of state, Trump has cut out the State Department, its secure lines and its official interpreters.

As his team considers hundreds of potential appointees for key jobs, he’s so far declined to let the Federal Bureau of Investigation check for potential red flags and security threats to guard against espionage — instead relying on private campaign lawyers for some appointees and doing no vetting at all for others. Trump’s transition team is considering moving on his first day in office to give those appointees blanket security clearances, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations.

trumples would be melting down if a Dem did this. As he demanded with cabinet nominees not being vetted by the Senate, he wants all members of his admin to escape any review by handing them security clearances.

For those of you who dismissed what some of us had warned about, namely, trump's inclination to run the government like an autocrat, it's happening. Hate to say it, but we told you so.

Why would Trump want to take advice or misinformation from the Biden THUGS ?

How about giving Ukraine missiles to launch into Russia after Putin said he would use nukes if we did?

Is that a national security threat?

Nope. Because we all know Putin won't do it.

Here's a better question, why is Trump so keen to sell out Ukraine? Is he really that petty?

An even better question is why QPJ thought it necessary to escalate a conflict between two countries, neither of which is the US, two months before he leaves office.

Actually, Trump is doing the exact same thing he did the last time.

Secure border, record breaking GDP growth, low unemployment (lowest ever for blacks & Hispanics), highest ever median wage, very low inflation (or zero).

Good times are here again.

Mods, How many threads does this OP need to make his stupid argument?

Trump is actually honoring the NATO deal made by the US with Russia back in the 90's
