Wolf Blitzer is trying to fact check him or slow him down, but not very effectively in my opinion. This guy is off the rails.
Does he know what complicit means? I had no idea he was that far gone.

(2,200 posts)It wouldnt surprise me to learn the attack was timed to take *Rumps legal woes off the front burner, intensify the pressure on Biden, and drain support for Ukraine to benefit Putin.

I remember John Mc Cain at his town hall, taking back the microphone from a woman who said Barack was not a citizen and making sure everyone knew that he knew that was a lie.
MSM do your fucking job!

(8,452 posts)Just doing his part to bring America together. There is absolutely ZERO reason, even if you squint really hard to see how this could be an argument. But there the far-right is, disseminating absolute bullshit to the masses. So far, it's only the most crazy, but I honestly think this is going to eventually become mainstream (Conservative) talking points. When that happens Dems need to defend aggressively and next time one of our guys calls a Republican a fascist (looking at you Durbin), don't apologize. Dems too often sit back and are called Commies or Marxists, time to start kicking some sand in the sandbox ourselves.

(3,894 posts)when there is ample proof that trump's loose lips helped ignite the Hamas attack on Israel, Russia's bloody attack on Ukraine & precipitated who knows how many other unprovoked, dangerous military strikes & loss of life around the world?
Isn't what trump has been doing by giving away our military defense secrets to our enemies and would be enemies the very definition of espionage/ treason? Especially now there are actual wars involving our so called allies?
trump's projection and vile pronouncements against Gen Milley spring from his own dark & treacherous actions perfectly.

In my opinion, this fork of the " indicted former president and law-breaker loser trump road," is clearly a hard one. It may or may not shake out. If the fascist maga powers that be are afraid to speak out or 'allow' the arrest of the traitor who tried to destroy our Democracy & who keeps ignoring the Law without consequence.. then who knows?
ABC News and the New York Times are reporting that special counsel Jack Smith has learned in the course of his investigation that Donald Trump blurted details of U.S. nuclear submarine capability to an Australian billionaire who then shared that information with dozens of other people. Barbara McQuade, former U.S. attorney, and Devlin Barrett, justice reporter for The Washington Post, talk with Alex Wagner about Donald Trump's bad habit of playing fast and loose with U.S. national security secrets and what this latest story might mean in the context of Trump's classified documents criminal case.
