Is Trump himself the biggest threat to national security?
First, a history refresher: For the past nine years, a smattering of Americans, most recently led by our now president-elect, have insisted that Barack Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya.
For years, Donald Trump was unrelenting in his insistence that Obama prove beyond existing proof that he was born in Hawaii and not in the African country of his biological father. That Obama said he is a Christian wasn’t enough to persuade Trump’s followers, who apparently know a Christian when they see one.
Further, there is no logical basis for assuming that a young boy briefly raised in a given country — say, Indonesia — necessarily would adopt the dominant religion of that country. He might, however, observe that though people worship in different ways, we’re all essentially the same. Never mind the cruel and absurd assumption that being a Muslim means that one is, ipso facto, a “bad person.”
Respecting others despite differences is, generally speaking, the hallmark of an enlightened soul, as well as a desirable disposition in a leader. Yet those who sided with Trump interpreted Obama’s gentle touch toward the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims as evidence of a hidden agenda to advance Islam in America — notwithstanding Obama’s rather robust drone operations, which eliminated quite a few bad actors who happened to be, or said they were, Muslims.
Noteworthy is that these same Obama doubters weren’t bestirred to suspicion when then-President George W. Bush visited a mosque immediately after 9/11. Nor, thus far, have they expressed any concern about Trump’s cavalier denial of Russia’s cyberattack on the U.S.
Given this history and recent evidence, isn’t it about time Trump be declared a Russian spy?
She's right. She's one of those conservatives who has never been afraid to call it as she sees it, and she makes too much sense to be accepted by the alt-right wing of the GOP.
The intelligence agencies should withhold certain classified information from Trump. He's going to naively tell Putin anything he wants to know or he'll simply and ignorantly tweet it out to the world. One has to wonder how far the intelligence community and the GOP will let him go before shutting him down?
Can just see Putin, China, N. Korea and ISIS rubbing their hands in glee at a guy who can be baited so easily and who has the loosest lips we've ever seen in the oval office.
We are now going from 'he is a naive bozo' territory to he is a dangerous liability.

The closing statement at the link is well worth reiterating...
In sum, when the president-elect persists in a state of denial, siding with the enemy against his own country’s best interests, one is forced to consider that Trump himself poses a threat to national security.

In Russia, they’d just call it treason.
We are ending, a well documented, eight years of a president in denial. What was his name ? Obamajacuff !!! Let us know when Trump breaks his record.
I guess if someone was gullible enough to vote for Hillary Clinton............
So, when do the liberals start to recover as this denial phase has really become a hoot!
