Trump is too smart for daily intel briefings

    Obama destroyed Al Qaeda with a vicious counter-terrorism campaign. He made a mistake in Syria I think - but he had no choice. America had no stomach for another war.

    Aside from calling ISIS a JV team which was poor optics, the counter-terrorism campaign against them has been effective as ISIS has shrunk dramatically and it's leadership is being decimated. Mosul will fall in months and while they will be around for years, they will be very much like Al Qaeda - constantly on the run and fearing their lives limiting their ability to strike. Think about it - when is the last time you've heard about Al Qaeda striking a major western target?

    The idea that the right should no longer trust the CIA or intelligence is ludicrous and insane, and begging for us to be infiltrated.

    This probably belong more to the CIA assessment is that Russia picked Trump.

    Intel isn't 100% right. It can be wrong. But I'm guessing our Intel is the best there is in the world. I think only fools think it should belong in the gutter or be rejected outright.

    I would argue Trump has worked harder than anyone else in recent memory and he's not even POTUS yet.




    Notice how this amazing Trillion dollar meeting of TITANS of Technology and most of the talk (brought up by CBS) talks about Twitter being absent. People are sick and tired of this bullshit and real folks are trying to get real things done for the American people.

    Yep. I think most people are ignoring that he's a workaholic. He's done A LOT. What a great change from Obama who's been taking so many vacations on taxpayers' dollar.

    What kind of naivete do you have to think what I said wasn't the case?
