It’s past time for U.S. Intelligence Community leaders to stage an intervention with @realDonaldTrump.

My letter to Dan Coats, the Director of National Intelligence:

[dalton99a]

1. This is not normal

This is fucked up beyond anyone's imagination

[PSPS]

3. True. Having a russian asset as president of the US is, indeed, hard to swallow.

I read somewhere that putin is now being referred to as "trump's shadow national security advisor."

[highplainsdem]

4. That comment was on CNN. Link to video:

2. He is absolutely correct

About time they tell that stupid idiot to STFU and listen and learn.

[smirkymonkey]

6. It will never happen.

He does not think that he has anything to gain by taking advice from others. He knows it all. He will never admit that he might not have all the answers.

[highplainsdem]

8. They'd probably have to use the duct tape Trump's obsessed with to get him to sit still and shut up

long enough to listen.

[KelleyKramer]

5. In other words- tell Trump to stop lying his ass off

Tell the idiot to stop lying and making up bullshit

[world wide wally]

7. Anything they might say to him will go directly to Putin

[BigmanPigman]

9. I keep hoping that life were like film and

those in particular govt positions would "take care of the problem" known as the fucking moron. It may be necessary in order to save the country from him.

[ProudLib72]

20. What does the CIA do with foreign leaders who are hostile to our government?

Asking for a friend who is extremely concerned...

[BigmanPigman]

21. I think they go to Disneyland....

...they (we) must communicate in code when discussing such matters..

[ProudLib72]

22. The orange ape has escaped his pen. Repeat: the orange ape has escaped his pen

The red man is meeting on the street with the orange ape. The principal must subdue the orange ape.

[BigmanPigman]

31. Works for me! My pin # used to be 0007

[JoeOtterbein]

10. We need to set the stage for Trump's...

...Impeachment or Resignation! Now!

[spanone]

11. this is a slo-motion coup happening right before our eyes...

[highplainsdem]

12. Schumer's letter is the lead story on The Last Word now.

[47of74]

13. Dan Coats is still around?

[oasis]

14. Trump won't sit still for more than 5 minutes. nt

[Guilded Lilly]

15. They are not dealing with a sane individual. Until the treasonous enablers...

Are removed or influenced to the nth degree by voters/citizens/constituents to actually respect the constitution and be accountable for a lunatic freak narcissist human stain in the Oval Office, daily we lose our country.

[PeeJ52]

16. Thank you, Senator Schumer!!!

Hopefully my calls and emails to my Senators Rubio and Scott, and Congressman Steube won't be ignored when I told them I was fearful for or nation and asked who our President was getting his intelligence from if not from his own agencies. Whew... I'm glad someone else noticed our pResident is nuts.

[AlexSFCA]

17. WH is infiltrated by foreign military intellegence like malware

[ck4829]

26. +1. All his talk about "open borders" is just projection

[pangaia]

18. Tell fucking republican traitors to get rid of him !!

[PeeJ52]

19. I did. I told them I was scared and someone has to do something.

I'm an old man and can't take this stress...

[ginnyinWI]

23. In an ordinary presidency, faced with this much flack from the president,

all of them would immediately offered their resignations. Because a sane president would have a very good reason.

Of course this one has no basis for his criticism at all, except that they disagreed with his fantasy view of the world.

So I don't know--what do you do? Probably ignore him is the best option. He himself has probably forgotten all about it by now and is on to the next topic.

[peggysue2]

24. Lawrence O'Donnell referred to Trump's attack . . .

on his own Intelligence Community as a:

Profound Presidential Perversity

and argued that Trump is beyond 'education.' Think he's absolutely correct. These attacks are willful just as his attacks on journalism are willful and his attacks on the the Mueller probe/DOJ independence are willful. All these attacks are an attempt to undermine and damage our basic Institutions because:

Trump is a treason weasel.

We need to stop trying to figure him out or psychoanalyze his behavior. He's a criminal, compromised by decades of dealing with unsavory people and participating in corrupt activities to line his own pockets. His behavior is not 'unusual or disturbing or inscrutable.' He's a criminal and the descriptions should fit the man.

Profound Presidential Perversity

Sums it up quite nicely.

[dalton99a]

27. +1. I don't care what his medical predicament is. He is a dangerous criminal intent on destroying

our democracy, our country, and our planet.

[McKim]

30. Tired of Psychologizing Trump

Yes, Peggy Sue, I also am tired of all the psychologizing that goes on around Trump. He is simply a criminal who knows no limits. This country needs to stand up to him, remove him from office and prosecute him and jail him. Otherwise the rest of his gang will live on to grab more power and money in the future. These criminals have not been stopped in the past after stealing elections, profiting and lying.

25. K&R

28. I'm in favour

of some intervention by the Intelligence agencies.

But the type of 'intervention' I'm thinking of is more in line with Putin's playbook for 'difficult citizens'.

29. There needs to be witnesses.
