Trump Re-Tweets story with anonymous sources and classified info.

Trump retweets story with classified information | MSNBC

The President has ultimate classification and declassification authority. Therefore, it is impossible for the POTUS to release classified information. Having said that I agree that there is a lot of information that it would be very unwise for a sitting President to release.

BS

He was unwise, stupid, frigging wrong. Not to mention once again that he's displayed how hypocritical he has been and always will be.

Well you got me there. He's gay, transgender or whatever so whatever he says is wrong. Wow, you must have been the head of your debating class in high school.

He is, by training and experience, a mechanical engineer.

Who, Bill Nye?

i guess you missed the part where I said an extremely large percentage of scientist agree. But then again that gay or whatever remark most assuredly wins the day.

I have no idea how he self identifies, nor do I care. He believes gender is a broad spectrum. There are only 2 genders, male or female. How you feel, doesn't change anything, especially science. He is a science denier.

You brought up Bill Nye to support your position about climate change. I'm simply pointing out that he has no expertise in that field.

Well I got to hand it to you. You successfully changed the subject when you have nothing better to say. That is at least for yourself anyway.

 

[OakRiver]

I think you need to re-read what I said. I never once said you supported Trump.

If you don't think that I support Trump why do you believe I can't "be honest with [my]self", or that I have issue with the "novel" concept that "when Trump is wrong he is wrong."?

It stands to reason that if I did not support Trump that I would have no issue with saying when the POTUS is wrong.

Your temper tantrums aside, it is not BS. It is the law.

Well you maybe, but not the other guy.

You brought up Bill Nye. I pointed out that he is a science denier. How did this change the subject?

Look even that defense is getting extremely old. But even you agreed it was unwise. Call it what you may, it isn't something he should be doing.

 

[Birds Away]

Well you maybe, but not the other guy.

He was simply stating that Mr. Nye tends to follow science when it suits him but not against popular opinion.

No, you injected sexual orientation into the discussion. Nice try.

I said that it could be unwise. As soon as someone other than MSNBC covers it I will look into this specific instance, if there is one, and then form an opinion.

 

[Dddrees]

Yeah, bringing sexual orientation into the conversation was the way to do it.

That almost sounds like your waiting for someone else to report on the same thing before you determine how you feel about it. If that's not it, then what are you saying?

 

[KJQ6945]

No, you injected sexual orientation into the discussion. Nice try.

You need to work on reading comprehension. I have no idea of is orientation, nor do I care. It's irrelevant.

The word "gender" was hijacked in the '90s. Sex and gender were synonymous up until that time. You have checked one of two boxes on a form next to the word gender. If your not sure which box to check, look in your pants.

That's exactly right. I will wait for someone with at least some semblance of integrity to report on it.

Like I said how does sexual orientation have anything whatsoever in H*** to do with this? LOL
