> That is ALL official cover. As POTUS and the sole decider as to the classification level of intelligence and with the ability to kick off black ops without ever writing it down, what makes you think he can’t maintain an official cover?

Because John Barron or John Miller would snort some Adderall and call the Washington Post or the New York Times and leak the secrets.

Is the Dipshit in Chief still doing that arm-yank handshake technique? A 5-year-old can see through that shit. It on the same level as “pull my finger.”

Why stop there? Why not give Trump credit for successfully averting Earth’s invasion by aliens?

It’s been a fun afternoon, but I’m going to spoil it by asking our new member for some proof to back up his claims.

And if he refuses to provide any proof because everything is black ops classified, I’d like to know either how he came upon all this information without a security clearance, or why he’s violating his security clearance to reveal all this on a random message board.

> Did you ever consider that the entire Cambridge Analytica “scandal,” “Russian Meddling,” putting Trump into the Presidency in the first place, and the entire impeachment proceedings were designed as a covert black up to discover and root out foreign influence and money in American politics?

Yes, I have considered it and rejected it as ludicrous, the same way that I reject the idea that someone broke into my house while I was at work and replaced all my furniture with an exact replica. Why do you not believe it is ludicrous?

Ok. As I’ve said in the past we’re really not the place for the genuinely out of touch with reality.

Closed.
