As we have seen with Clapper and Brennan the intelligence community lies.
The challenge is knowing when they are telling the truth.
If they are not offering evidence or proof there is no reason to believe them.
It doesn't matter what they claim to know if they won't show it, its no different than a coin toss.

How can you defend him so blindly?

Is it just something you do for attention?

So if you can't give anyone ANY reason to vote for a Democrat, I'd say the issue is yours, not mine son.

And this is the kind of garbage and crap a Putin operative would shovel.

Your only example of Trump's expertise is North Korea?

And he's now moved the goalposts from "no longer a nuclear threat" to "decent chance of denuclearization"?

Classic.

I'm not trying to give you a reason to vote for a Democrat. You brought that up. Why?

If Trump were using all the information the IAs are providing to advance his agenda to provoke wherever he can, all Trump's supporters would be right behind him and applauding the same IA without question! Thing is though, Trump isn't that smart. Trump lets his emotions and ego lead the way without hardly a thought about what is intelligent and what is not.

Not too intelligent as Trump considers his State of the Union address, for example, to begin arguing "wins" where there is no real evidence those "wins" are actually anything of the sort. Maybe Trump and his supporters don't mind the U.N. laughing at his claims along those lines, but Congress too?

Right. Trump supporters just don't seem to care about anything that also pinches their emotions and ego too.

Trump said - recently - that he knows more about technology than ANYONE. Based on his claims we can assume he knows more about EVERYTHING than anyone else. Turns out those Generals he bragged about obviously don't know as much as Individual #1.

That really had even my head spinning....that he knows more about tech than anyone. I promise that even I, a lowly high school dropout, would get at least 4X as many technology questions (off the cuff) correct then he would.
