So, let me get this right

Last edited Mon Aug 13, 2018, 03:10 PM - Edit history (1)

1) Omarosa seems to have recorded everybody she met at the White House, including Trump, and also including getting fired by Kelly in the situation room

2) Michael Cohen has been secretly recording Trump over the years.
3) Trump, and others in the White House, are using unsecured personal phones
4) Guests at Mar-A-Lago were allowed to take pictures with the Nuclear Football last year
5) Donald Trump has met alone with hostile foreign leader Vladimir Putin on more than one occasion.
6) They were warned that Michael Flynn was compromised, but he was kept on the job for almost 3 weeks
7) Leaving a lockbag of classified documents lying around with the KEY in the lock
8) Letting Russian press into the Oval Office
9) Trump bodyguard photographed holding the home phone number of the Secretary of Defense
10) per DUer unblock below - gave up highly confidential info from Israeli intelligence to Russia on fighting terrorism.
11) per DUer keithbvadu2 below - revealed that we had two nuclear subs near North Korea to other leaders.
11) Probably several more I'm forgetting

But, Hillary having her emails on a private server were a huge issue in 2016?

they will never admit he's done anything wrong. Even if/when it's proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

all those anti-Trump Republicans and former Republicans will make a meaningful difference - Rick Wilson, Dave Jolly, George Will, Ana Navarro, Jennifer Rubin, Joe Scarborough, etc.

That fact gets overlooked. It might have been a breach of protocol. But there is no evidence it actually was a breach of security.

the only apparent difference is that hillary only used a private server, whereas powell did sometimes use the official state.gov email.

oh, and powell is a republican, whereas hillary is a democrat. and a woman as well! heavens to betsy! lock her up!

Of course, it was never that the Republicans were all that concerned about it. It was all about how much damage they (and the FBI with Comey) could do to HRC.

26. America is not safe with this person in the WH.

After reading all the absurdity going on in the Trump WH, I'm just bracing for the next 9/11. Nobody is in charge. I imagine a group has already completed the planning stages and is just waiting for the best time to hit in order to cause the most chaos in this country. Probably close to the election. Granted, Trump is doing a lot of damage without help, but he's left us very vulnerable to outside attacks and you can bet certain people are not going to let this opportunity pass.
