    the state of NY is reportedly set to bring charges against the trump crime syndicate....in particular the phony charity known as 'the trump foundation'...which he and his family have allegedly used as an illegal, personal piggy bank.

    two major points:

    1. trump has no power to pardon on state charges. he and his spawn would be held accountable for whatever crimes they've committed.

    2. unlike with the DOJ, there is no NY state policy regarding an active investigation in the months leading up to an election.

    ^ The bozo has no idea of the difference between state and federal government. I guess they don't teach that at troll academy (IRA) in Saint Petersburg.

    let's take a moment to shift our attention from the abject corruption that permeates the trump administration and take a quick look at the abject stupidity:

    the secretary of education wants to use federal funds allocated for education (normally used for, you know, education expenses) and spend it on guns for teachers.

    Thank you. I stand corrected. I did suspect they might be pens but I confess it was nicer to think of them as cigars.

    From the moment of her nomination to the post most eductaed people face-palmed. She's a disgrace and a reflection of Trump's incompetancy and ignorance of the governance of a country.

    So many talking points from Brennan's speech.Great clip bsnub.

    If Earl thinks he can argue against such an eloquent and intelligent man, and a man who has insights into what's gone on and what's going on that nobody on tbis forum has or will ever have, then he's definietely Dunning-Kruger. Inarguable.
    Carry on Mr Brennan, speak your thoughts and anger and fears.

    Actually, that pear shape (and other indicators) suggests Klienfelter Syndrome. Eric too...or maybe especially.

    Brennan is indeed a paid pundit for numerous private and media entities.
    No question he is indeed all about monetizing his security clearance, for his own personal greed.
    He has no business being a public servant. He should be prosecuted for corruption, along with Hillary, Obama and many others...
    Trump is all about shinning the light on these corrupt deep state cockroaches!
    Sickening fucking slime!

    As a matter of fact, it would help you to get taught at some education facility there - in case you would be ever admitted considering your congenital ability...

    It's like reading an amalgam of Fox 'News' and Trump's tweets.

    The power of propaganda.

    brennan was a public servant his entire life, and upon honorably leaving govt. service he wanted to use the skills and knowledge he acquired to earn some money in the private sector....and according to earl, that's 'greed'.

    sure, earl.

    i guess everyone who worked for the trump campaign and the trump administration that is now in the private sector is also guilty of this same 'greed'.

    right, earl?

    Just more sterling hypocrisy by those on the right innit.

    Brennan's clearance being revoked is quite obviously punishment for his voicing his dissenting opinion against Trump and the same people cheer-leading it are the first to start crying about 'Freedom of Speech(TM)!' and Commies and Govt overreach when some hate-monger is stopped from calling people "niggers" or something. There's just something about them that loves the idea of an authoritarian strong man.

    Maybe it's some sort of bizarre mixed-up Oedipal-type complex where they need a parental figure to dominate them or something.

    All he did was threaten people & assume we control the world’: Ron Paul on Bolton’s Russia meeting
    Published time: 24 Aug, 2018

    Donald Trump was elected president as a populist outsider who talked non-intervention, but his administration is being hijacked by neoconservatives who want to preserve the US empire, former congressman Ron Paul has told RT.
    Paul was commenting on the meeting of Trump’s new national security advisor, John Bolton, with his Russian counterpart Nikolay Patrushev in Geneva on Thursday, which the US envoy described as making “considerable progress” in relations between Washington and Moscow.

    “I thought it was terrible. All he did was threaten people and assume we control the world,” the former Texas congressman told RT.

    There was no joint statement after the talks, because reportedly Bolton insisted that Russia admit it meddled in the 2016 US election, and Patrushev countered by asking the US to stop interfering in the affairs of other countries.

    “I would consider how much we have done, especially since World War II, how many elections we have been involved in, how many coups we’ve participated in, including Ukraine… I would say in comparison this current Russiagate… is just minuscule, as far as I’m concerned,” Paul told RT. “It’s blown way out of proportion, and it’s a distraction from some of the more important issues.”

    Moscow looks set in its ways and Washington remains “very much interventionist,” Paul said, citing as one example US failure to fulfil its promises not to expand NATO eastward to the borders of Russia.

    “We don’t think our president really at heart endorses all these positions... yet the people he has hired do,” Paul said, bringing up his appointment of Bolton, a neoconservative hawk from the George W. Bush administration.

    Bolton told reporters to “trust the American people” who elected Trump. As Paul points out, however, those people never elected Bolton and other neocons who occupy key spots in the Trump administration.

    “I know a lot of American people that aren’t very happy with neoconservatives,” Paul said, arguing that they are working behind the scenes in both parties to “maintain the empire.”

    “This other stuff is just distraction from who has the power, who has the purse strings, who makes the decisions,” he said. There is no discussion in US politics on deficit financing, central banking, welfare state or foreign interventions, Paul added, because both parties accept them as a given.

    Commenting on Bolton’s demand that Moscow pressure Iran into getting its troops out of Syria, Paul said that while this was a “reasonable request,” it should rather apply to “any foreign nation that has troops in Syria that haven’t been invited.”

    “People who aren’t invited into a country shouldn’t be there,” Paul said. US presence in Syria has no basis in either domestic or international law, while Russian and Iranian troops operate at the invitation of the government in Damascus.

    “It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Iran to leave Syria,” Paul told RT. “But I think a good deal would be if America would leave Syria as well, and mind our own business.”
