So I point out a fact, and you reply with childishness, sadly, it's par for the course,

It's not exactly a secret that there are subs near N Korea, it was publicly announced that a carrier battle group was sent to operate there. The battle group includes subs, that it common knowledge.

But hey, let's all act like deranged mental cases, and attack the president for revealing what is already publicly known.

Let's understand it together - this assumes a sane American POTUS who is acting with reason and logic. We have broken through ALL barriers with this clown, IMHO.

discretion at that level is something only sane people possess...

I am certain that, as we speak, in the bowels of the Pentagon they are trying to figure out how to get rid of this guy. Nuclear subs? Congrats on murdering pot dealers?

You couldn't make this up. Someday I hope to watch the movie....they will talk about people like you who acted as if it was all normal.

How uninformed do you have to be to not understand that it's public knowledge that there are nuclear subs operating near NK?


I just can't for the life of me understand how unhinged one has to be to attack the president for being accused of revealing what is already public knowledge.

To pretend anything different is pointless.
Whoa, that's some real secret info there. "a lot of firepower over there". Just give it up already. You guys are looking more and more foolish as the days go by.

You point out a fact, and I respond with multiple facts. Reality just isn't favorable to tRump followers these days. It's understandable that you'd want to deflect.

Whatever keeps you in tRump's pocket.

I'll leave that behavior to the Trumplings.

But thanks for offering.

Hillary had unsecured servers. Trump has an unsecured mouth. Difference is that he is freely and knowingly giving out classified info to known dictators and foreign intelligence.

When is Gowdy going to interrogate someone over this???

You responded with childishness.

It's this mentality that made you dems unable to see reality, and not understand that the polls during the election weren't real. It's your refusal to see reality that made you believe that Hillary was going to win, and that Trump had no chance. It's your blind partisanship that makes you unable to see the repeatedly lies, and false stories that routinely come out about Trump. The ridiculous part is that the hit piece articles debunk themselves if you just bother to read them.

You just keep up with the ridiculous, and childish behavior, it only reflects badly on you, not Trump. We all watched the fools that did nothing but start threads daily attacking Obama about any, and everything, and now you dems are acting much worse.

Seriously, go back and take a good look at the fools that started threads daily about Obama, and understand that you dems are acting worse, much worse.

We already know that he will divulge classified information to the Russians, so why not Duerte. It's in his nature.

The president should be able to freely discuss these matters with our allies on a secure phone line. He isn't the problem.

THE PROBLEM is the seditious leaker. And contrary to your assertion, Trump isn't the leaker. Why would he leak his own phone call? The claim is stupid on its face.
