President Donald Trump's not a fan of intelligence. He's repeatedly told the American people not to trust the intelligence community and to rely on his own, personal analysis about key national security issues instead. Foreign leaders still rely on intelligence, and if they are looking at an intelligence assessment of the US right now, it would undoubtedly include one high confidence assessment: Trump's mission to get reelected involves a coordinated strategy to transform our intelligence community into his personal brain trust, even if it means helping Russian President Vladimir and hurting our country.

sam_vinograd Says Zuckers minions

sam_vinograd The main qualification is ability to lie and say outrageous things with a straight face and to love Trump more than country.

sam_vinograd Wrong again it’s about deep state infiltration from the Muslim brotherhood who Obama brought here to destroy our nation. Fire all of them!

sam_vinograd Intelligence is always last on the list when it comes to Trump.

sam_vinograd Sam the only reasonable fact about you is your name: Sam! Please retire to a California village where people are interested in your BS!

sam_vinograd I am not sure why there are stories about what he has said before and *gasp* he didn't actually do. We know everything he says is a lie and it was in 2015-16 too.

sam_vinograd He basically picks 'Yes men'! 🤨

sam_vinograd Trump doesn't care about intelligence, he's gone 73 years without any.

sam_vinograd GOP did undercut its own messaging about veterans, backed Trump’s previous attack on retired admiral Bill McRaven. Americans should be frightened — deeply afraid of what the GOP has become.

sam_vinograd You seem to be confused as to how 'best people' is defined.

sam_vinograd Take note and wake up before it's too late.

sam_vinograd Duh

sam_vinograd Blackmailers. The economy is on a roll. America is respected again globally. For the first time in years, China knows who is boss and Europe is trying to pay up it's fair share for NATO. Unlike before. Shame on the dishonest media.

sam_vinograd The continuous predictable criticism of the U.S. President by CNN only makes this so called 'news' predictable and ultimately BORING.

Stop drinking trash margaritas. Here's how to make a better one for National Margarita DayIt's not that margaritas are horrible, it's that they're often made with subpar ingredients and not enough care to live up to their full potential.
