It's our "national security" stupid

[SHRED]

I think we all fall into the trap of looking at tRump's foreign investments and his upcoming Presidency (yuck) through the lens of his own personal wealth gain.

While that is outrageous and unethical there's a bigger concern that no one in the media seems to be focusing on...national security.

His financial entanglements overseas leaves him open and vulnerable to bribery and/or payoffs. This could very well leave us all very much less secure.

When is the media going to hammer this reality?
Our national security is at risk here.

1. What means "hammer"? I've seen plenty of stories and talk about this...

and it never seems to gain any steam.

[SHRED]

2. I haven't...

...not in the frame of potential bribery and the problem that presents.

But then again I'm mostly online not tv or radio.

3. I don't do much TV news, except for traffic and weather, but...

I read a lot. And listen to NPR.

5. I see

Have a nice stay.

7. How much money did the Clintons make from that charity?

I'm pretty sure the answer is "zero."

Have fun while you're here, and Merry Christmas!

8. Donald Trump is literally doing the same thing as Clinton is accused of.

And he doesn't get called out for it. Nearly every single one of his campaign financiers that contributed hugely got nice cabinet positions out of that. But let's go and accuse Clinton of doing things that aren't true.

11. Well you threw away a vote.

It's this kind of bullshit conspiracy theory that got Trump elected. There's no proof of this - the idea that Clinton took money from terrorist groups holds literally as much water as that Pizzagate bullshit. Donald Trump is literally taking money from his own foundation and giving it back to himself. He is inspiring domestic terrorists. And nobody is calling him out on it.

14. I want to see your proof first.

16. Wikileaks strikes again.

I seriously trust Julian Assange about as far as I can throw him. This is the same site where Pizzagate emerged from, and we all know what bullshit that is. Wikileaks is a site founded on conspiracy theories. I've never heard a credible news source talk about this, and I do not trust anything Assange says.

18. Wikileaks is completely totally full of shit.

The reason you won't see stories like that covered in America is because American media outlets, at least the few good ones that are left, know how completely full of shit Wikileaks is.

20. "Trump blew her out of the water" LOL

He fucking squeaked, with some help from the FBI, asshole Julian Assange, pet media, etc.

80,000 votes sprinkled over three states is the difference. Not even enough to fill the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Not to mention about 3 million fewer pop. votes (and no, that's NOT "just California" (as the right-wing meme goes). But that razor-thin edge will bring hellfire down on this country.

If the Trump administration does anything but walk on eggshells (not likely) there'll be the devil to pay. And guess who'll have to pick up the tab for all their bumfuckeries?

12. My daughter who has two very young children (3&4) says the tramp will kill us all.

I went through this anxiety as a child during the cold war and am astonished and depressed to see it back.
