See no evil, hear no evil: Donald Trump is turning away his intelligence briefings
Source: Salon
Read more: https://www.salon.com/2016/12/09/see...nce-briefings/Donald Trump has a disturbing habit of declining his daily intelligence briefings, and that’s causing politicians to be concerned.
“We find it particularly troubling that President-elect Trump has mostly declined to take the daily intelligence briefing,” wrote Sens. Ben Cardin of Maryland and Dianne Feinstein of California, both Democrats, in an editorial for USA Today on Thursday. “Presidents and presidents-elect going back decades have begun their day this way — understanding national security threats and opportunities, asking probing questions, and making tough decisions.”
The senators continue, “The information and analysis that our intelligence community provides to decision-makers is invaluable for developing a full and nuanced picture of the world.”
Oh yeah, this is gonna go well....anyone remember the last President to ignore intelligence briefings...hmmmm....
lol salon
Does it make it any less true coming from somewhere else? I mean, point me to your favorite news site. It will probably be there as well.
Report: Obama Has Missed over Half His Second-Term Daily Intel Briefings
http://www.breitbart.com/national-se...tel-briefings/
Breitbart always does this counter bull stories.
but but Obama also missed meetings.
Work out the differences..
Don't worry. He watches CNN.
How did they do a counter story for Trump over two years ago?
Work out the differences..
Generally speaking. They have been doing this for over a year now.
For example a couple of weeks ago it was that Trump wanted to put people in jail for burning the flag. A day later, they came out with an article about Hillary wanting the same in defense of Trump.
Always with the but but excuse.
You weren't generally speaking though, the article you quoted was not a counter story to the OP. Even funnier you did this in a thread about lacking intelligence.
How would you know I wasn't? You're always trying to tell people what they mean when they post. Stick to pedo posting TSA. You're not going to drag me down to one of your inane arguements. Your shtick is a tired and boring one.
Did you know the article you quoted was over two years old?
lol gas lighting in the political forum. You're a coward.
Lol you just called out someone for lol saloning only to lol breitbart in very slightly less obvious way.
And always with the puffy holier than thou deflection, too. Basically calling out one partisan hack for calling out your partisan hack because they called out your partisan hack for calling out their partisan hack... . . . . ...
Missing a daily status update is a little more understandable when you've been on the job for a while. For the most part, you're caught up, and most days probably don't contain drastic changes in intelligence. Any pertinent issues would still make their way to the President. It's not like they're going to put off urgent issues of national security because they didn't have their daily briefing.
lol @ comparing it to starting a new job and needing to get caught up on everything going on. Especially when you're starting from scratch (likely worse than scratch.)
Trash is too busy giving his conned supporters a chance to adulate him on his "Love Me Again!" tour to think about NatSec, ISIS, etc.
Trash is all about, above ALL ELSE Trash himself, not about USA.
The dude is behind scratch. This is a real problem in that it points to a very narcissistic viewpoint...(I don't need anytime to tell me what I already know).
Salon = fake news.
Yeah I don't know why I qualified this with "likely." This is a guy whose literacy of current events is, at its BEST, illustrated by tweets that are predictably timed following FOX News segments on the topic of his tweet... at worst, illustrated by a propensity to take InfoWars news as fact.
Would it be better if he read the Washington Post?
Well, yeah, that would be better than InfoWars.... but ideally it would be intelligence briefings and a balanced variety of news sources.

Trump better do a lot of delegating then.
Even though there is a lot about his personality I don't like, he certainly is not stupid. Definitely a compelling, interesting fellow. This will be a unique 4 years. So far he is all over the place. I am becoming more convinced that calling him a Republican is not a good fit.
They should conduct them on twitter.... he'd be all over that.
I guarantee you he reads both the Washington Post and the NYTimes. They have things to say about him and both have reputations as very good on foreign affairs. He has already admitted to the editor on the NYTimes he thought it was perhaps the best paper in the world. NPR interview. But also that the NYTimes had been rough on him. The editor told him that he considered this doing their job. NYTimes got plenty of flack from Hillary dems about the Clinton foundation. By far the most legit story on the type of people and cronyism within this organization along with conflict of interest.
"both have reputations as very good on foreign affairs"
yep, both hyped the Repug LIES justifying invading Iraq for BigOil
WaPo has sunk to the level of InfoWars, possibly worse since InfoWars has always been a joke.
