@Melody I think even though everybody in my generation (X) watched all the cloak and dagger movies, we still didn’t develop a healthy appreciation for how much information an enemy can glean from an apparently innocuous slip of the tongue, or even the awareness that a certain secret document exists… much less from having seen it.

That guy’s tongue was wagging uncontrollably for four years while he had access to all our secrets. And I’ll eat my hat if Mar a Lago hasn’t been bugged by every enemy state we have.

Putin got way more return than he could have dreamed, no matter how much he spent to get TFG installed.

@willallen @Melody Hopefully, the IC figured out early that they were better off just not telling the President of the United States the truth.
@msbellows @willallen @Melody I have no expertise, but it seemed to me that the people who kept the wheels and engines of the US government moving along were mostly busy fulfilling their job descriptions and pretending that everything was going ok. Many of them were Republicans, felt good about being in power, and probably weren’t letting themselves believe that the POTUS would act against the security of the US.
@batyalee @msbellows @willallen @Melody Just goes to show what a bunch of dangerous foolish, clownish criminals republicans are! Their God will spite them viscously…but no sense in waiting that long!
