I could honestly not give a shit what he thinks about Clinton or anybody else. Why do so many people here seem to want to listen to him?

1. Appointed by Obama

3. Who the fuck cares? He's an advisor to the Trump campaign

Let me say that again, in bold: he's an advisor to the Trump campaign.

What's so hard to understand about that? He's a fucking xenophobic pathological liar, just like Trump is.

6. I thought we were hugging Obama tight?

Just wanted to point out the dangers of being politically "pragmatic".

8. The guy got ousted. Obama made a mistake.

Big deal.

[pdsimdars]

12. Yea, they disagreed on ISIS

[joshcryer]

16. The guy blamed ISIS on Obama's admin.

Said ISIS was basically an ally. Which was never true.

[pdsimdars]

14. Well, to be fair, he has advised many. He said that anyone who came to ask his advice

in his area of expertise he would advise them and he said that included Hillary and Bernie.

5. Doubt Obama is a fan of this guy any more. Google Flynn if you get a chance.

Especially regarding his exit from the pentagon.

2. What did he say that people are listening to. Some email thing?

[Recursion]

4. Yeah, there's about 17 OPs about it

I assume the memo just came out or something and that's the talking point today.

7. I have finally started using ignore today

and I am happy to report I haven"t seen a single one of those threads.

Note to angry, sarcastic, rude Bernie supporters: if I haven't replied to you, you're probably on my brand new ignore list. Congrats!

[Bluenorthwest]

9. What sorts of threads are being posted about him here? How do I find one, I've not seen one.

10. Here's the most recent one

11. Obama chose to listen to his advice

On April 17, 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Flynn to be the 18th director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Flynn took command of DIA, July, 2012.

Do you think Obama has poor judgement or is it more likely that you do? Hmmmm?

[Recursion]

13. And he was pushed out 18 months later

What a weak response.

[pdsimdars]

15. So you think that if someone ever leaves the government that means they know nothing from

then on? Man, that would be a lot of people. Think of all the people who have left various administrations over the years. Wow!
I think, if you have any kind of a strong intellect, that you can hear a man out and judge whether or not you think what he is saying is true or not. Otherwise it is pretty petty and self serving.

17. How dense are you pretending to be? If someone supports Trump's ban on muslim immigrants

it's clear from that alone that they are not worth listening to.

Why on earth are you defending someone who supports a ban on muslim immigrants? What's behind that?
