Trump's Trail Of Conflicts Of Interest

HOW DONALD TRUMP'S BUSINESS TIES ARE ALREADY JEOPARDIZING U.S. INTERESTS
Donald Trump hasn’t been sworn in yet, but he is already making decisions and issuing statements to world leaders that radically depart from American foreign policy, all to the benefit of his family’s corporate empire. Because of this, the next president of the United States is already vulnerable to undue influence by other nations, including through bribery and even blackmail.

This Is Alarming. Iran Gives Trump Reason To Nuke Them.
Iran ordered its scientists on Tuesday to start developing systems for nuclear-powered marine vessels in response to what it calls a U.S. violation of its landmark 2015 atomic deal with world powers....Rouhani's announcement marked Tehran's first concrete reaction to a decision by the U.S. Congress last month to extend some sanctions on Tehran that would also make it easier to reimpose others lifted under the nuclear pact.

Trump versus the CIA

Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House
The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter.


What the hell is going on? 

Sane people across the USA and AHNC have been screaming about this for months. There are videos and tweets from Trump asking Russia to interfere with the election. What more proof do we need that he has broken multiple laws?

And FBI DIRECTOR COMEY  directly affected the election by not only releasing a cryptic evaluation of Hillary but he withheld the information about the Russians.

The Russians aren't coming, they're already here.




Here's the video:




Here's the tweet:

Please Tell Me Why We Shouldn't Be Scared. Trump Is Going To Get Us Killed.
China said Monday that it had "serious concern" about President-elect Donald Trump's most recent comments concerning Taiwan, and warned that any changes to how America deals with the self-governing island could damage diplomatic ties between Washington and Beijing.






Interesting Read About Tracking Hackers
This spring, a group of computer scientists set out to determine whether hackers were interfering with the Trump campaign. They found something they weren’t expecting.


Ultimately, I'd bet the GOP goes for the "We get the Supreme Court Justices and Putin gets the Secretary of State" deal. - LOLGOP




Republican Shenanigans

Let this sink in. We're about to put a feller in the White House that believes InfoWars is a more valid intelligence source than the CIA.- Tea Pain







Oh Joy! A Swamp Monster From Iran/Contra Days!
Neocon and notoriously easily provoked hothead John Bolton — who is rumored to be President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee of Deputy Secretary of State — said on Sunday that there is no proof that malicious hacks on the email servers of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee were not carried out as a “false flag” operation by the agencies loyal to Pres. Barack Obama.







Apparently if Infowars and Dick Cheney had a baby, it would be John Bolton's mustache.- LOLGOP

Aleksey Pushkov, the head of Russia's Foreign Affairs Committee, tweeted high praises of Donald Trump's reported pick for secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, who has very close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

How Trump Treats His Rubes
President-elect Donald Trump on Friday acknowledged his threat to imprison Hillary Clinton for using a private email server during her time as secretary of state was simply an appeal to win voters...“No, it’s okay,” Trump said as the crowd jeered a reference to Clinton. “Forget it. That plays great before the election. Now, we don’t care, right?” 




One way to get Trump to go to daily intelligence briefings is to call them "compliments you got from people around the world."- Andy Borowitz

I don't need the CIA. I have the KGB.
The Pomposity Of Trump: No Need For Daily CIA Briefings
President-Elect Donald Trump dismissed concerns that he is rejecting the presidential intelligence briefings every day, saying he really doesn’t think they’re necessary. “You know, I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. Could be eight years—but eight years. I don't need that,” Trump told Fox News’ Chris Wallace in an interview that was taped Saturday. “But I do say, ‘If something should change, let us know’.”


I marvel at the optimism of someone starting a fresh Trump parody account in mid-December of 2016.- LOLGOP

The Trump state of mind

Women’s March on Washington Barred From Lincoln Memorial
...the National Park Service, on behalf of the Presidential Inauguration Committee, has blocked access to the landmark by filing a “massive omnibus blocking permit.” This will bar protesters from most of the National Mall, Pennsylvania Avenue, the Washington Monument, and of course, the Lincoln Memorial for days and weeks before, during, and after the inauguration, which will take place on Jan. 20, 2017.

Obama Starts Investigation Of Election
President Obama has directed the intelligence community to conduct “a full review” of the 2016 election in light of reports of Russian interference, homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco said Friday.
The report is expected to be completed and transmitted to Congress before he leaves office Jan. 20.
