Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador

[Maj. Bill Martin]

This whole story is an utter joke.

The information Trump revealed was highly secret:  It was that ISIS was planning on using explosives in computer laptops on airplanes!!!   And this is the first any of us had any inkling of that!!!

Except, uh, it's been all over the news for weeks, everyone already knew about it, and the WaPo itself had run stories about it prior to this "scoop".  The fact that it technically remained classified doesn't change the reality that everyone already knew about it because of the preventative measures that were taken in response.

Yup!    Liberals understand tribal warfare.  Conservatives do not.

@Jarhead

Not all of us will blindly support Trump or shut down our critical thinking @Right_in_Virginia , no matter what you say.

[Right_in_Virginia]

So what does it say about those allegedly fake news agencies when your Orange Idol

If you want to ask me a question about Donald Trump ... please do.  But refer to him as the President or your spam will be ignored.

You wish.   I've been saying the media people (Headquartered in Liberal New York that voted for Barack Obama by 89% and most of whom are blood related or married to Democrat Officeholders)   are news manipulating liars for the last two decades,  and that they are a graver threat to the interests of this nation than are international terrorists.   


The fact that they are now using their power to attack Trump and that they are getting aid and comfort from their Trump hating allies,  is just more evidence of what I have been saying since Bill Clinton got elected. 


Somehow the media have completely ignored all of Bill Clinton's "Grab them by the P*sssy"  behavior,  and gotten the fools of the nation to focus on Trump saying some words in private.   


You and your ilk are puppets that only have the knowledge which you use to hate Trump because the media made certain that this information found it's way to you. 

You have been successfully stampeded by another Washington/New York Controlled media propaganda effort,  and are now working to enact their agenda instead of the one in which you claim to believe. 


You are doing exactly what the media want you to do.   


"Sheep"  thought I.

I agree with everything you said.  This Trump bad, the media good coming from supposed "conservatives" is tiring and childish.  I did not support Trump in his quest to become president but I'll be damned if I'll allow the liberal media to get away with the crap they are trying.  I'll believe Trump over the media any day.

[Idaho_Cowboy]

If the conservative media were operating strategically this story should become the poster child for lame stream media corruption. Here we have some unnamed source (code for the editor pulled this idea out of his hat) vs. two credible witnesses who say it didn't happen. This should show people the media has no connection with reality or truth.

Blindly support? You're basing this comment off the garbage WAPO article as a basis for said comment. Please tell me you have something beyond this to make that statement. Are you a daily reader of WAPO?

[jpsb]

Yes,  because the media constantly make up fake news stories,  sensationalize anything he says,   and along with their allies in the entertainment media constantly mock and disparage him,   it's all Trump's fault that the airwaves are filled with this garbage.   

The media is in full blown DNC campaign mode. Full court press to take down Trump, the scandal fabrication machine is working 24/7 to turn out fake news. Everyone that was in the room said President Trump did not share any classified info with the Russian ambassador.  And who cares if Trump gets two scoops of ice cream? I get three at my house.

Once again the real criminals are the ones leaking "fake news" to the corrupt media. They are the ones doing real damage to this country.

I'm not, should I be? If I were would that upset you? Would that make you cry?

@Weird Tolkienish Figure does "critical thinking"? Who knew.

You are absolutely right! I too didn't support Trump during the primaries and hell don't agree with some of his policies today! However it is clearly plain to see there is an attempted coup of our duly elected president and many here who fully support it.

They reveal themselves very easily to us. They are not conservatives and too are angry hildebeast was not elected. It's very obvious....hmmmm WAPO article citing nothing based on conjecture and innuendo with no sources or our President and his staff who was present at the meeting....hmmm tough one here

Kinda funny how most of these clowns are avoiding the thread about Trump's admission.

Trump ADMITS sharing intelligence with Russian officials 'which I have the absolute right to do', contradicting White House officials who said claims he slipped classified ISIS secrets were FALSE

@Weird Tolkienish Figure does "critical thinking"? Who knew.

As opposed to putting absolute blind trust into a pan fried ferret man child with a bad toupee?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Maybe someday I'll witness a sample of your critical thinking.  My fingers are crossed and I am rooting for you @Weird Tolkienish Figure


Right now, all I see and read from you is this theme :   

[Jarhead]

I'm not, should I be? If I were would that upset you? Would that make you cry?

Why else would you say blindly support then? The comment made about this being a garbage story (if you read it all) and it being quite obviously fake (even if you gave it all benefit of the doubt if it being remotely credible) illicited from you the blindly support comment.  This is a thread about a junk news article yes? Am I in the wrong chat?

Making that comment aligns you with believing the articles and the numerous unnamed sources throughout. So if we blindly support does that mean you agree, support and believe what was written within the article?

[Jarhead]

You have revealed yourself. Thanks for the quick unveiling. It truly didn't take long. Now to complete the circle please call me and others tea baggers. You know you are itching to. We are no good tea baggers aren't we?

I have to teach English to a Spanish Priest today - when I get back from that, I will write you and a few others, a private message about what Bob, who worked at the Pentagon with secret stuff, says about the protocol in place for intelligence and the Trump meeting with the Russians.

I look forward to reading that.

Oi vey! Smdh! Of course he shared information you dolt! No one is saying otherwise! But sensitive information, classified information that your newspaper of record is trying to convey he did not and that isn't what was conveyed during the presser last night. Last night they were clear that he did not share classified info and the tweet reinforced that. Nice try

[FreeReign]

So what does it say about those allegedly fake news agencies when your Orange Idol sends out tweets confirming what they were reporting?

Is there even a twinge of embarrassment from you?

Actually Trump didn't say that he gave the Russians "highly classified" information. Those are the words of your "idols", the Big Global Anti American Media. Beyond that as Trump says, he does have the right to make the determination about what is and isn't classified, and who gets to see it.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

This is about the freaking laptop threat, which everyone already knew about for more than a month.  That's why McMasters said the story was false, and that we didn't tell them anything they didn't already know.

[Right_in_Virginia]

For those who are able to watch... McMaster is answering questions on this now.  (FNC)

[Silver Pines]

Exactly WHAT SOURCE?! Please CRITICALLY read the article in its entirety. It only took me half way to break apart this garbage. I'll point out the quotes from the article below with my commentary and I hope you reach the same conclusion that a high schooler could do better than a propagandist media.



So I'm going to ask the obvious question if anyone actually CRITICALLY reads any of the absolute garbage word for word his rag publishes? And when I say word for word I mean critically think of every word chosen. Here's a start and this didn't take me long to grab these snippets and I only got half way through the article.

"according to current and former U.S. officials"
Translation: democrat members of the senate intelligence committee

"officials said."
Random democratic Congress critters

"provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement"
A UN ally in cahoots with the socialist arm of our government and Pravda media looking to take down our duly elected president through constant innuendo. Did you watch the presser last night?

"The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia"
Oh those pesky Russians again! And who is this mystery partner

"officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally"
Democrat members again from the Senate intelligence committee leaking garbage to the press to continue stoking the fire to overthrow our President

"senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage"
Career Obamabot bureaucrats

"This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter"
Another U.S. official in other words a Democrat

"It was during that meeting, officials said, that Trump went off script"
Not what McMaster said at the presser yesterday who was at the meeting but hey let's not deal with pesky details such as this

"McMaster reiterated his statement in a subsequent appearance at the White House on Monday and described the Washington Post story as “false,” but did not take any questions"

"It is all kind of shocking,” said a former senior U.S. official who is close to current administration officials"
Hahahaha! This one is HILARIOUS! Hell this could be Susan Rice and Chuck Schumer for all we know!!

This article is the BIGGEST bucket of horse manure I've ever read and I ONLY got half way through it!  Why do critical readers not critically think and digest what it is they are reading and I'm not a 100% Trump fan either. I support misty of his policies but not all.

@Jarhead

Please stop yelling and calm down, okay?

Last night it was "didn't happen."

Then Trump says it happened.

Now it's "doesn't matter."

[Right_in_Virginia]

This is about the freaking laptop threat, which everyone already knew about for more than a month.  That's why McMasters said the story was false, and that we didn't tell them anything they didn't already know.

Australia is now following Trump's lead re:  laptops on planes.  The whole damn world has known about this for weeks, if not months.

This should be an easy rap for the Trump admin to beat. Just start asking the media "So you don't think we should help protect the world from potential terrorist threats?" After all the Ruskies told us about the Tsarnaev brothers...

As I shared in the other thread we still have non critical thinkers again putting inserting meaning into words that don't exist

Quote from: Frank Cannon on Today at 09:29:52 AM
Yeah. They're always serious until they're not.

This is hilarious! So they stated last night no sensitive or classified information was shared during the meeting. Now we have liberals loading the boards stating he is contradicting his own staff and then point to the WAPO article as evidence. His tweet said he shared information beneficial to both parties. Well DUH! Of course he did. Did we think he invited them over for crumpets and tea? Was it revealed WHAT info was shared in that tweet? Nope. But WAPO tells us it was classified info so it must be true. It couldn't have been joint information on a strategy on terrorism it HAD to be classified information with the Russians that's it! Because well you know there is collusion there and we need this to play out his entire first term so the real investigations around Hillary don't start.

You can't make this stuff up. There is an active coup and the mindless are getting right in line

[FreeReign]

It's embarrassing that some think that this story is news worthy. Big Media tells them to jump and they ask, "how high".
