Unlike you and the rest of the trump cultists, I prefer not living under fascist rule. The Greatest Generation went to war to defeat fascism and you and the rest of the followers of the orange sleazeball want to bring it back.

I am by no means a "Trump" fan. That said, the country is NOT being destroyed. I'm willing to bet that your life hasn't changed one iota from any of the changes he has made (other than your stock market investments, if you have them, are doing better)!

There is no reason for Brennan and many others to have a security clearances now that they are out of office.

"And so, are the Republicans on the Hill - who have give him a pass - going to wait for a disaster to happen before they actually find their backbones and spines, to speak up against somebody who clearly, clearly is not carrying out his responsibilities with any sense of purpose and common sense from the standpoint of national security," Brennan continued.
Brennan fires new shot at Trump:


100% SPOT ON! Only I wouldn't call THING....-POWER-DRUNK..... I would call the INSANE L-U-N-A-T-I-C ….POWER-MAD!
Counting down till the self destruction of the left will end. Ohr is exposed and so are all with him.

Brennan can try to distract but Brennan was the head of the CIA when the so called collusion started and Brennan did nothing as he knew there was no Trump collusion.

Brennan is part of the Russian, Democrats collusion and what else to expect from a man with money who claims to be a socialist and communist!

Socialism only works as long as socialist can spend other people’s money!

The left is so disgusting that it is funny to see them all go down slowly and try to throw everything up in the air and all that’s happening is more support for trump.

Today I saw a sticker on a cheap car saying that Obama is his president. Not sure what country the driver believes he/she is living in but the person is so stupid to put the sticker on the ain’t of the car. Loss of value on even a cheaper new car

Victory lap.
This kind of American happily takes a place on the top of a hit list or gets sent to the front of Trumps kill list.

Brennan would never sell his security clearance that is ridiculous and projection of a traitor ... who is backing the traitor who puts America up for sale. Trump sold out America days into his Presidentcy with the Moscow invite into the whitehouse and a door slam in the face of Americans. Keeping out the press is keeping out America. We cant be there. The press can and tells us what is going on. He is a hate filled person that should nt be in charge of anything. He is the greatest coward to sleep in the ****e house.

Every time TRUMp bashes the press as the enemy of the people he is projecting his hatred for Americans.

ANYONE who votes for him hates America. For whatever reason, whoever votes for TRUMP, in the future, in any way shape or form, at this point in time, with all that is known...hates their own country and their fellow man. Because that is who Trump has revealed himself to be.
He didnt do it at my house, but he did it LIVE ON CAMERA OVER AND OVER SUCH THAT IT WAS TRANSMITTED INTO MY HOUSE. His hatred into my face and into the ears of my children is unforgivable.

The cowards in his party that wont get him out until they have filled their pockets will pay the price in time with their reputation. History books , history books. No one will download a Trump National Library lol twitter size lol.
This is probably the longest comment ever that did not contain one single word that was true.

How much is that then in dollar savings to the taxpayer.

I mean, yeah, is that why he stripped this man out of the blue of his ability to continue to make a living? Because it cost taxpayers too much money to have all these ex employees on security clearance?

Then she disappears to let other people do the heavy lifting. This is the game she plays daily, pathetic as it is.

It is because of his continuous attack on the first amendment. He calls any news outlet that disagrees with him or does negative stories about him, fake news and claims that fake news is the enemy of the people... He has now started taking top secret clearances away from those that call him out but yet only suspends it for Michael Flynn who deserves it to be stripped of it. The guy don't give two ****s about the first amendment excePT when it comes to HIS tweets and HIS own words or those who agree with him. Plain and simple, Trump is a danger to democracy because he only wants free speech and freedom of press if it don't show him in a negative light.

This has been mentioned in multiple threads, but as I recall it was pretty much a consensus among every intelligence agency in the world that Iraq had WMD. Iraq worked hard to make everyone believe it. In the end, that turned out to be a bad plan.

But in fact, he did. Or perhaps more precisely, he monetized his security clearance for his own personal financial gain, as seen here:

https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...a-media-216943

As we will doubtlessly agree, there is little material difference between monetizing a security clearance and selling one. Pick whichever word you want, and you still have Martin Bormann's smellier, stupider brother cashing in on his security clearance for his own tawdry personal financial gain. Nothing, of course, can change that reality.

As you are further no doubt well aware, having an active security clearance lends an air of authority to Brennan's statements on NBC/MSNBC that simply could not be matched by somebody who had no security clearance, and hence would be commenting from the outside looking in. Brennan's possession of a security clearance was pretty much the only reason NBC/MSNBC brought him aboard as a security analyst, of course. And as Brennan's unseemly sniveling amply proves, lifting said security clearance makes him a far less salable commodity.

In fact, not having a security clearance would likely cause NBC/MSNBC to ask a very salient question, which is: "Why are we paying this mook, again? We hired him as a security analyst, but he doesn't have a security clearance any more. A security analyst without a security clearance is like a policeman without a gun or a nightstick. All he can do is flap his gums and hope the criminal gives up without a fight. We should get rid of this jackass and find somebody who isn't damaged goods." Brennan obviously understands this unavoidable reality, and is reacting in the predictable manner, comically and incorrectly complaining that his rights of free speech are being abridged.

In view of this stark reality, of course, the remainder of your rambling, incoherent statement at Post No. 54 becomes laughably meaningless, and unworthy of any further response.
