Trumps not a conservative and small government supporters recognize the lessor of 2 evils is still evil. But many supporters can't stand the despicable progressive left which is far worse than the horrible progressive right. The anyone but Hillary crowd voted him in.

Granted he has done a few good things. Meeting with N Korea and Russia for example. That's what sets him apart. He's still a horse**** president. He increased spending and he's keeping us involved in other nations civil wars. Two things he said he wouldn't do. He lied. It's not his bs flip flop game he plays when he lashes out. He purposely raised spending and he purposely gets us involved in the Middle East.

Trumps supporters are becoming everything they complained about when Obama was in office. You defend policy. Period.

We've never had a treasonous president until we got the cheeto.

Yes, treason. Look up the definition.

He gave aid and comfort to the enemy in Helsinki.

Why do I get the feeling the current residents of USA don’t believe in democracy
Comparing a general's public criticism of the president or his policies is a guaranteed path to retirement, these are civilians.

So it's a problem because Trump does it for personal reason but it's not a problem that someone willing to lie to America while under oath still has a security clearance?

Why is not both a problem? It's OK for someone like Clapper to commit perjury and get by with it? How does this work? He's above the law? Or is it that he worked under Obama at the time?

You are what you condemn.

I'm not ready to overturn the system because of these people.


We have never had a president publicly criticize his own intelligence agencies and praise Russia, we are in unique territory.

Imagine Brennans' jaw when he saw the announcement. In baseball this is called the high hard one right under the chin.


SuHWWWWEEEET!

I had to negotiate a contract with an adversary a while back. I showed up with a bottle of wine. Imagine how that broke the ice. Now some could criticize me for the move, but guess who is working with us now?

And in the same breath they call Trump a traitor. News for y'all. He's smarter than the perfidious old guard. Bring on the future Mr. President.....bring it on.

Well done, maybe Trump should try your approach and unite the country rather than shouting and tweeting all the time. You defeat your enemies when you make them your friend.

Funny the outrage when Obama did the same. Do as Dems say, not as they do!

I think most Americans, including me, never knew that FORMER government employees even had security clearances and we all want those clearances revoked.

I worked in a high security job and when I left I had to turn in my security card and someone came to scrape off the company parking sticker from my car.

Remember this from last year?

Sessions: FBI Has Stepped Up Efforts to Find Leakers

This is an indicator that Brennan, Comey, et al. are no longer useful. Think about it.
