the decisions SCROTUS would need to make during the meeting. He was not too happy when I responded that the only decision Donnie has to make is whether he gets on his knees or on all fours. The meltdown was epic.

from the infamous #ShanghaiSurrender to the #HelsinkiStinky republicans are relentlessly surrendering American prestige, power, and security.

The KGOP republicans are enacting a historic betrayal of the USA.

Thanks for fucking nothing. There is NO reason not to identify this "national security expert," except to protect whatever phony-baloney job he currently has, which I would bet is to help run interference for the fiddle's foreign policy. And, because you've protected your source, the administration can dismiss his criticism as "fake news."

If that's all you're going to report, Jake, why not just delete your account? You're not practicing journalism by passing along unsourced criticism.

Referring to Trump or himself?

If you are going to come to that kind of revelation you should really be chastising yourself for ever believing he was worthy of any support.

Anyone paying attention knew long ago that Trump was in bed with Russia.

And I doubt this national security expert has much economic anxiety.

So, I suspect he supported Trump for the same reason most other Trump supporters do.
