Trump told the Russians the town where a US informant discovered an ISIS plan & told details of US counter-operations in Iraq and Syria. JFCCaroline O. added,

I'm sharing this place mark with you because I can. It's not illegal because I'm the president.

Thanks.

I usually just lurk, you guys are awesome at keeping the thread up to date. I am just so gob smacked at the recent developments

Fake news.

Two scoops suckers

Thanks for the new thread. It's been a whirlwind could of days. I find myself wondering about what Obama is going to say about all this in his memoirs, post Trump. I think he had a fairly good idea of what Trump's character was like, it'll be interesting to know how much of this shit storm he anticipated

From the Guardian

“As for the Israeli view on this, the Israelis can’t avoid seeing a delicious irony. US intelligence agencies, for decades, have suspected that Israel sometimes passes information to Russia – as part of trading intelligence – and that was the CIA’s reason to be reluctant in sharing everything with the Israelis. Now, America’s allies seem concerned that Trump himself might be passing sensitive intel to the Russians.”

Thanks for the new thread.

The latest from @maggieNYT @GlennThrush -- Trump has turned against most of his aides, including Jared Kushner <a class="break-all" href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/white-house-staff.html?_r=1&referer=t.co/2NtRYjLsB1?amp=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mobile.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/white-house-staff.html?_r=1&referer=t.co/2NtRYjLsB1?amp=1 … pic.twitter.com/WeEUiprMb0

Trump's senior advisers don't feel comfortable leaving him alone with foreign leaders. This drives him nuts. He calls McMaster "a pain" pic.twitter.com/gTnwGMhZqJ

"What Russian hackers? Trump gives American secrets to Russia by himself," sneers the main Russian news cast. t.co/eh61fIGmqb?amp=1

He's a bloody liability. Loose cannon.

Speaking of Fox

www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/05/16/ralph-peters-blind-loyalty-is-un-american.html

Now Republicans, who long claimed to be the Constitution’s defenders and champions of national security, shrug off Russian penetration of our political system and justify the reckless use (following Obama’s precedent) of executive orders by their president—whose behavior would excite outrage if the fingers on the keypad belonged to a Democrat.

And a flatulent Congress cringes and points at the other guy

It wasn't Orlantina who linked to this thread; it was MN Deep State to smear her.

Flabbergasted placemark.

Wow: Trump admin officials's off-the-record defense: He's not smart enough to know what he's doing. t.co/xm1pblY5pb?amp=1

Hiding in bushes, Spicer style. You ain't seen me, right.

How long before Trump shouts

"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"

From the other thread. Dum

Nanny, I like to think the Republicans (those of them with a conscience or who can see further than the next tweet) must be thrashing it out somewhere. A basement with codewords and pie charts and white boards and maybe some strong drinks to keep the terror at bay.
