Can anyone come up with a benign reason why DT would ask for this? If you were an energy dept employee, would you be a little worried? C’mon Trumpsters (you know who you are), tell the rest of us why this is perfectly okay and no big deal.
**Trump Questionnaire Raises Concerns About Retaliation Against Energy Department Staff

That presupposes that Trump cares about some sort of fact-based results. If you actually want to stop people with ill intentions toward America, you need international cooperation, police and military trained, prepared, and deployed around the world, and intelligence networks to identify who you’re looking for. Why go to all that trouble when you can just drop a bomb somewhere, claim it landed on a Radical Islamic Terrorist[sup]TM[/sup], and tell people that they’re safer. Don’t need any intelligence agencies for that.
“Few corporate titans are closer to Putin than Tillerson”
“Two years later, the Kremlin awarded Tillerson the Order of Friendship, honoring foreigners.”
“Russia is critical for Exxon”
“What good is it to save the planet if humanity suffers,” he said at a 2013 stockholders meeting, citing the outsized impact on poor people if environmental activists succeeded in establishing company goals to reduce emissions.
I got 50 bucks that says he’s gotten at least one blow job from Sarah Palin.
He did say he talks to himself regarding foreign policy because he knows what’s going on better than anyone else. 'Course he won’t listen to the intelligence community.
“I’m, like, a smart person,” he explained Sunday. “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.”
He sounds more like a fifth grader arguing why he doesn’t need to keep going to class rather than the President of the United States. Hey, President Clownstick, things actuall occur around the world that impact US policy, often developing on a daily basis. or are we just going to eliminate the State Department, as well, as part of “Making America Great Again”?
How much more “Give Trump a chance!” are we supposed to extend to him, again? He isn’t interested in national security, he continues to spread conspiracy theories about electoral fraud, he’s appointed a cabinet full of sludge from the bottom of the swamp and industry insiders who are more conflicted than a third year philosophy major being confronted with the reality that there are no philosophy internships much less actual jobs,
Trump is bound and determined to fuck up US, China relations. The real loser will be Boeing when China cancels 1 trillion dollars worth of orders expected over the next 20 years. Yep, China can do that with one swipe of the pen. I’ll bet Airbus is delighted we have such a moron headed to the Oval throne. Now Airbus will have 1 trillion in extra orders and they will be able to cut prices on along the rest of their line and further damage Boeing’s ability to compete. Trump is such a anal sack.
How many jobs will this cost the #1 exporter of American products? This bastard is so nearsighted.
I just read he wants Bolton for #2 at State, behind Rex the Putin puppet. Bolton’s foreign policy is basically to just start a war with every other country on Earth, and particularly hates Russia, so that will be interesting.
Not just “radical Islam,” but ALL Islam, which Trump and the extreme right view as the enemy of Western Civilization. To them, Putin is our new best friend in this epic global struggle. Trump’s people are on board with this blanket condemnation of an ancient religious civilization. Obama refused to use the term “radical Islam” because of the word Islam-- he didn’t want to condemn the whole religion. Trump, et al. have no such hesitation. And his people are too incapable of critical thinking and too uneducated to see the difference. :smack:
This is a presentation of the timeline of shifting perspectives on Russia. I’ll summarize with excerpts as best I can, but it’s worth reading the whole thing.
