This doesn't make the nation safer.

The Trump administration prevented President-elect Joe Biden's transition team from meeting with its counterparts at Pentagon intelligence agencies this week, according to a former senior intelligence official familiar with intelligence transition discussions.

[Despite scheduled meetings] ... word came from the Pentagon that the Biden team would have no engagement with defense intelligence agencies until it had submitted questions in advance and listed the names of the people with whom it wanted to interact.

He, Trump, is so vindictive and self-centered.

Biden transition team denies outgoing acting defense secretary transitional office space

That's what you get for jeopardizing national security for no good reason.

This seems pretty interesting too.

They tried to do the same thing with yet another Nunes crony at CIA. Although I saw Haspel did resign today, so maybe they made it happen after all.

It's like a little kid who gets picked last for football on the playground deliberately scoring goals against his own team just to spite the other kid who picked him last.

The secret is to make it look like someone else’s fault.

...and today, Sen wonder boy of the far right Hawley moved to block a Senate fast track confirmation process to seat the new DHS Secretary. That's putting America's security interest first ....

Please, viewership in CNN dropped like a rock, are you one of the diehards? How many hoaxes have these people pulled on you? Have the Biden people ever shown interests in adopting any of Trump's plans?

What does this have to do with the content of a two year old news story? Can you actually address the content?

Why do so many conservatives have no idea what the word hoax means?

I really don't know, but perhaps one of their precious claims against the Dems was called a hoax, so the reflect it backward. (Plus, the fossil fuel industry spent decades on propaganda to convince them that global warming was a hoax. [quite successfully])

I understand, a portion of the population vote Democrat no matter how bad the corruption gets and are in denial about the massive amount of wrongdoing.

I think you're right. It's a slight variation on them calling everything an insurrection or racist in order to try and defang those words.

What does that have to do with the content of a 2 year news story or the fact that your reply didn't address any of the content?

All you've done is post more projection.

No he doesn't.

He's a sock puppet. He's not making any decisions on anything. I don't know who's hand is in the sock, but I'm sure no one voted for them.

Seems pretty reasonable considering the extent of accusations still being lobbed at him by this administration.

He's by far the most inept person ever to hold the office. How anyone could support him now blows my mind.

I don't genuinely believe he's making any decisions. He can't find the spot to stand in if someone isn't basically holding his hand. He's not debating policy. He's not leading. He's not whatever people imagine they voted for.

He is however, an embarrassing example to other nations, how dumb our voters are and how easily duped. I'll admit that I thought talk of his deterioration was overblown and he was genuinely a center aisle candidate who might get some good done.

Took about half a year to see that was a total lie.

 

[friend of]

Well I mean, at least he's not sending mean tweets.

Yeah, he's only passing substantive legislation, strengthening our ties with many of our allies, forming the AUKUS alliance to counter China, and trying to govern rather than wring as much money out of the government as possible.
