Bill Clinton stuck a cigar up an intern's vagina in the Oval Office. That piece of **** is not relevant to any Trump discussion except possibly as a counterpoint.
BREAKING NEWS: Russia releases photo of DONALD TRUMP with hooker in Russian hotel! oh...wait...that's...
Where did that come from?
Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan had some sharp criticism and warnings Sunday for Donald Trump, saying the incoming president doesn’t have a “full understanding” of Russia’s power and threat to the world.
“I don’t think he has a full understanding of Russian capabilities and the actions they are taking on the world,” Brennan told “Fox News Sunday.”
He also suggested that Trump lacks “full appreciation” of Russia’s aggression or about why President Obama imposed sanctions on the Kremlin for meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
“Mr. Trump has to understand that absolving Russia is a road that he needs to be very, very careful about moving down,” Brennan said.
Brennan was appointed by President Obama in 2013 to run the country’s premier spy agency.
Trump has repeatedly suggested better U.S. ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. And he has been particularly suspect of the entire U.S. intelligence community since it concluded Russia and Putin tried to influence the elections, in an apparent effort to help Trump defeat Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Brennan said Trump likening the U.S. intelligence community to Nazi German for presumably leaking the content of an opposition-research dossier on him is “outrageous.”
"There is no interest in undermining the president elect,” he said. “Our responsibility is to understand dangers on the world stage so (Trump and his Republican administration) have the intel we have so they can make the best decision.”
However, he said Trump “needs to be disciplined” and that he’ll face numerous challenges” in his presidency that begins Friday -- with terrorism, cybersecurity, North Korea and Middle East instability among those at the top.
“So many issues on Day One,” Brennan said.
Try to adjust your calendar, it's 2017. The situation has evolved, the threat is different and very real.Again...Obama told us in 2012 Russia was not a threat and Romney was in the past. I will never let anyone forget that if I can help it. ******' hypocrites.

For calling out possible Russian hacking, espionage, collusion with Trump et al in this election? Why would I be embarrased by that? Quite the opposite. You should be embarrassed by not wanting Trump and the government to come clean.Your position on this is hypocritical in the highest order. You should be embarrassed. But you are a liberal. No amount of hypocrisy embarrasses you.

Putin and Russia have cranked things up 1,000x with Trump and DNC hacks. Your argument about how I or anyone else reacted years ago to Russian aggression is a side point, at best. You clearly don't know me, nor have you read what I've written here, if you think I've been anything but strongly opposed to Putin and Russia. The fact is - fake news or no fake news - they've never come close to this level of involvement - interference - in a US election, as the one we've witnessed.
You - and others - can try to explain it away, be my guest. You're not convincing me. I'd like to see the truth come out and have some clarity.
No way Trump will be able to serve if he doesn't clarify Russian hacking/collusion. Has to get ahead of this curve and do it rather quickly. I imagine his inner circle is telling him just that.
diver I agree Obama ****** things up regarding Russia. He should have been much more forceful in US pushback, I agree.
I won't argue that. And you're also right I should have come out more often against Obama's weakness on Russia here on the board.
So hopfully we can move on now that I've apologized and start discussing the topic at hand?
The best, most promising period in Russia were the Gorbachev/Yeltsin years. Trouble's been brewing ever since Putin stepped in and we may have seen nothing yet. When Putin invaded Georgia, marched into Crimea then joined the frey in Syria, you have a pretty good idea how he plans to throw his weight around. The murders of journalists and a mafia state run by oligarchs, despots and cronies, most anyone can see Russia has taken a turn for the worse.
No idea why Trump is so ******* enamored with Putin and Russia. Makes no sense and should piss off any American who pays attention to world issues.
I fully agree Putin is a bad guy. I do not quite understand what Trump is doing as it pertains to Putin and Russia. The interesting question here, one we will never know, is what if Hillary won the election? Would any of this be news? Or would it all go on the back burner and be ignored by the press, but more importantly our government? Business as usual. Pretty much the entire mindset for the last 8 years was that Russia is no big deal. Only now, because they think they can score some political points against Trump is it a big deal. That is the danger here. I am so pissed off that the idiots in charge have done nothing about this for the last 8 years I do get caught up in that instead of worrying about what should be done moving forward. Maybe it would help if those in charge would acknowledge their failure in this regard instead of throwing Trump under the bus over it. Yea, right. It just all the feel of a political game right now.
The Dems and MSM would be in high dudgeon if Trump lost and did the same things. The election didn't get hacked by the Russians or anybody else. What got hacked was Hildebeast's and John Podesta's emails, probably not by the Russians, and all that did was get the truth out about their paid protesters and how they screwed Bernie Sanders.
