We are about to be in a major global conflict before the election. No shite he doesn’t want to take briefings. They would blame him for causing it by speaking to foreign leaders.

Iran has a nuke for those of you who haven’t figured it out yet. Russia has helped them with hypersonic cruise missiles that can’t be shot down.

Blinken said a month ago they only need 2 weeks to enrich the uranium. They aren’t taking their time attacking Israel to amass bottle rockets for hezbollah to shoot.

We don’t have two carrier strike groups and half a squadron of the modernized F22’s from Alaska for shits and giggles.

This is not the world conflicts of the past. shite is literally on the precipice and we have a dementia patient calling the shots, with potentially an airhead clueless female behind him.

What in the hell does he mean this country is not ready? Does he believe that one day it will be? If so, why would it?

The briefings require reading, and comprehension,
He ain't got time for that.

It seems like we are on a apocalyptic timeline the last few months just here in the U.S.

Iran nuking Israel would not be out of character for the current timeline.

So does Iran nuke Israel before or after the U.S. presidential election?

And I really feel bad for the people in Tehran. If they nuke Israel, Tehran will be glass.

I speak Trump.


In reality, he is saying “The ODNI preemptively told my campaign not to expect briefings because of the whole episode where I got caught trying to hide classified docs from the FBI. I’m no longer in or even near the circle of trust.”

Won't just be Tehran. If a nuke goes off, they all do. Israel will be forced to hit a LOT of places at the same time simply because they are probably not going to survive it.

That's if we look on tier two nuclear powers using limited nuke strikes as the trigger for the big boys to start slinging. And I think if Israel ever believes they are about to die, they will hit all of us just to make sure we all go with them.

You think W or Bill still read the briefings?

Neither W nor Bill are running for President, so they aren't briefed.

If he has that much distrust in our institutions, he needs to leave America.

This is “Q” level nonsense.

Donald Trump may be a lot of things, but lazy isn't one of them.

Why would "they" even grant intelligence briefings to a Presidential candidate before he wins the election?

IIRC, it’s SOP for both presidential candidates to get intelligence briefings this late in a campaign.

The Manhattan project was not intelligence. You are conflating two different types of classified info.

They come in, they give you a briefing, and then two days later, they leak it, and then they say You leaked it.
That's exactly what they do.

First you leak through a not so reputable source, probably even left leaning so they blame politics (e.g. Salon). That's just chum, blood in the water. Then some MSM reveals they got the EXACT same info and have verified protected sources with each other.
