    First of all, no excuses, Conservatives, Trump did say this, so spare me the 'spin'.
    I promise to be on Trump like 'white on rice', but only when his behavior warrants it.
    And, it does this time.

    http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/t … ngs-232479

    So, since he is so SMART he cannot be bothered with daily national security briefings? He says that they are repetitive and are best left to subordinates?

    This man, having no political nor any position in Government of any sort can say that?
    I did not hire Pense as President, if Trump does not want to do the job that he has made such a fuss to obtain, there is still time to communicate that to the Electoral College.

    The President sets the example and the tone, he is setting one where he does not want to be bothered? The leader of the free world.....

    The ultimate height of arrogance, is this supposed to be a part time job for him?

    This is Maxwell Smart,  "it is the ole clown in the Oval Office trick"... The only problem is  is that there is no laugh track, because no one is laughing.

    You have my thoughts, what are yours?

      Just one thought. This is and excerpt from the interview But I don't need to be told, Chris, the same thing every day, every morning, same words, ‘Sir, nothing has changed. Let's go over it again.' I don't need that.”

      I don't know anything about the briefings but if some days are a word by word repeat of the day before I kind of agree it can be shortened to the first sentence above. Would that work for you? If he had them come in, make that statement and then leave? So that he can say 'Hey Credence. I hear you man. I'm doing it. For you. Yeh.'

        Harry Reid said on camera something like they shouldn't give Trump real briefings, in other words, lie to him.  So! If its repetitive nonsense they are giving,  I am led to believe they aren't giving real briefings...just BS.  Otherwise, Trump would want the briefings. 

        Harry needs to retire, he is too stupid.   
        Just another lying swamp dweller.

              I added a quote from the article in my first post. What I garnered from the article was that he didn't want to deal with repetitive stuff. Brief him initially and then again if, and when, the status changes. As usual I think a far end has found a molehill. That's ok. It has become the norm. It could be worse. At least this isn't some ridiculous cry that Trump will cause the earth, itself, to cease to turn.

                  So, I presume that it does not bother you that the President elect chooses not to be briefed on a daily basis while you criticize Obama for 'as you assert' missing half of his briefings while on the job. Is that suppose to be an excuse for Trump?

                    I believe Trump has received three briefings so far. That's more than any other president-elect before him. When they finally start giving him briefings they will know where to find him, and it won't be the golf course.  Let's given him time...like till January 20th. 

                    Who's criticize Obama? It doesn't bother me if he doesn't get daily briefings, it must not matter to him, so why should it matter.  shrug   
                    It must say something about those briefings.

      Trump is getting detailed intelligence briefings everyday from Booz Allen Hamilton, an NSA contractor, the largest private spy organization in the world.  Because Trump knows that Republican presidents before him were getting fake briefings from the CIA.  He knows that the CIA briefings he has gotten from the WH have been disinformation.   So! The media has got it wrong, or just spreading more disinfo. 

      When Trump gets briefings from Booz Allen, he bounces it off Generals, so he knows he is getting the highest information he can. 

      When FBI or CIA agents are seasoned, they can graduate up,...to Booz Allen.  Remember Edward Snowden, he was working for Booz Allen.

          Is it at least possible for the left to be reasonable? Why do you so diligently seek to find fault where none appears to exist. Excerpts from the article:

          those briefings do not always change day to day, Drumpf told “Fox News Sunday”

          Drumpf said he always instructs those offering him the information to contact him should new developments emerge.

          I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day

          the president-elect called those delivering his briefings "very good people" and said he would be open to receiving more regular intelligence briefings as situations dictate.

          “But I don't need to be told, Chris, the same thing every day, every morning, same words, ‘Sir, nothing has changed. Let's go over it again.' I don't need that.”


          There is nothing unreasonable, irresponsible or negligent in these statements. What you hope to create is an atmosphere where the public will assume the next commander in chief is throwing caution to the wind and ignoring information. That is not what was said or implied in any of that article.

          I honestly feel that you have made a decision to ignore truth in order to create drama. What does this serve?

            Yes, I am diligent in insisting that the President of the United States does not get to pass the buck. As the least qualified and prepared occupant to hold the office since it has been created, I am not sure that I like his attitude in regards to preparation to sit in that chair. So, when something goes wrong in his administration, he is already in a position to deny, because he did not know, or is it that he did not listen?

            If he does not listen to the briefings and see them as superfluous, that is not the attitude of someone that takes a new job with an attitude of success. Would you bring a new hire with no relevant previous experience, who thinks he or she knows it all? This one is too SMART to listen and learn as the rest of us mere mortals. So, he is smarter than all the men that have assumed the office before him and thus could dispense with information that they used.

            He is criticized by me in this matter as he deserves it

            --------

            No, what I see a President that is content to wing it, taking an attitude never found in any of his predecessors, even REagan was smart enough to at least keep his mouth shut about the relevance of the briefings in his interaction with the public. He creates the atmosphere with his attitude and statements that already reflect poor judgement.

            if you really think that I am creating drama, perhaps you need to remove your Crimson tinted glasses and see the world in a new light?

          This really is a big part of America's current problems. Watergate, the out of control CIA in the sixties and seventies, the long deception of the tobacco companies, the Contra affair, that nonsense with Iraq and WMD plus countless other lies and cover ups have made people distrust those American institutions that do cleave to the truth.

          All deception eats into the heart of a culture and the fake news stories which are commonplace today are the end result.

          Don't know how you fix it. There will certainly be no opportunity with a President who promised anything a person wanted to hear to get elected.

          Countries have a habit of getting what they deserve.

          edit: removed the 'few' from 'few American institutions that do cleave to the truth', it is probably an unfair assessment, on reflection.

        He is going to be subject to constant criticism for things like this, so he had better watch his caboose.

            He could have avoided the image of being 'a clown out of its element' by humoring the AMERICAN people by simply not making statements that indicate that he is not going to take the job seriously. Government thru absentia?

            Now that would have been SMART.

              Well, Credence I should be honest here. Just as Trump was with his statement. I don't think it is possible to imagine every scenario where some will jump to an unreasonable conclusion because they want to see bad in something. Everything said in that interview made it clear that he didn't want to have to waste time with repetitive things. He said, several times, that he would make it clear that he wanted to be briefed if, and when, a situation changed. That seems completely reasonable, to me.

              But, a general rule of thumb is that if people are going to continuously think the worst of you the only thing you can do is forge ahead, do what you consider to be best, and let the chips fall where they may; but don't spend a great deal of time attempting to please them as they don't appear to want to be pleased in the first place.

      Trump so far:

      The threat to prosecute Hilary Clinton is obviously not going to happen. Deafening silence on the wall thing (a few aides have talked about 'more fence'). Obamacare is not going to be wiped out, it seems (too popular and no thought through replacement for the 15 million using it).

      Will a cabinet full of Wall Street execs, big business figures and billionaires really get tough on people and corporations that invest abroad? Regulation is not going to appeal to that crowd.

        The far left? In the US you have a choice between right wing liberals and right wing right-wingers. Bernie would count as a left liberal perhaps. No US political party is going to champion decent wages, employment rights, paid vacations, maternity leave or genuinely affordable healthcare. Those things take money from wealthy investors and money is power.

        The history of the last forty years has been the gradual erosion of those rights ordinary folks won during the fifties and sixties. You ain't got much left to lose but its all in the cross hairs.

                US politics can be understood in many ways. Here are 3 options that are available to me and that relate to my previous contributions:

                1. Sit in a bar and talk to a gang of Americans (we have a few hundred where I live). Absorb the mindset. Ask a few questions. A couple of nights ago I talked to a group of young teachers from Michigan who boasted mournfully about their college debt. Later, some older Americans boasted about all the clever ways they had made money.

                2. Read a news article that says 40 per cent of Americans are 'contingent workers'. Google 'contingent worker', chose the most authoritative article, which happens to be from the US Department of Labor, skim it and pick out the main points:
                'Contingent arrangements allow some firms to maximize workforce flexibility',
                'contingent relationships [help companies and employees] evade their legal obligations',
                'contingent workers are drawn disproportionately from the most vulnerable sectors of the workforce'

                3. Listen to the oddballs in these forums, lol.

                There are many other ways to understand US politics, of course. How do you go about it?

                  I remember the American woman who taught me some Medieval History thirty years ago. She happened to be a world expert on brew wives, including those in the county where I was born. So there was this woman in London, who looked and sounded like Katherine Hepburn, talking about villages where I had chased girls ten years before but had more or less forgotten the names of.

                  She had never actually visited any of the villages in question but I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of her research.

                  Think straight and the facts talk for themselves.

                    I would think country of residency would not prohibit anyone from being expert on Medieval History. It's in the past. And, brew wives would fall into the same category, somewhat. I can also see why general knowledge of landscapes and geography could be attained through research.

                    Unfortunately, politics is a little more difficult. Your comment about there only being right wing liberals and right wing right wingers shows a bit of bias that I would expect from someone European. Nothing wrong with it.. I can easily understand an inability to understand what we call the far left and why we are leery of it.

                    Either way. I am not overly interested in your interest in our politics. Think as you will and enjoy it. I won't be reading any more of your posts on political subjects.

                  I am with you on this one buddy. And even if I were inclined to be dismissive about an 'outsider's' perspective - regarding American politics, it certainly would not be the Brits.

                  I did not say they should be closed. Nor did I imply it. I said I wouldn't bother to read his posts. There is a big difference.

                  Heck. I'm fast movingto the point where I'd find it pointless to read your posts. That doesn't mean I don't think you should comment. Free country. Freedom of speech. I'm a big supporter of that. But supporting it doesn't mean I have to trudge through every close minded comment made.

                    You spoke about not reading his posts only after I made this post that you are commenting on.

                    If the only way that anybody merits your attention is if they agree with you, then it is best that you pack your things and move on. That is not what therest of us are here for. Your  complaint does not support the advocacy of Freedom of Speech in its spirit. 

                    And, you tell me that you are an impartial, moderate and reasonable voice?

                    C'mon you said Obama promised everything his supporters wanted to hear and I asked you to name a few broken election promises. You could not, it seems. So you get upset and play the nationalist card.

                    Just put a little more work into this.
