Putin must be laughing his cock off.

Between this shitshow and Brexit, he’s got more than ever dreamed of being able to achieve in destabilizing the West. I guess we should be thankful that his capabilities in non-social media, real world conventional warfare, are shite.

Shut off the internet, and access to banking, disrupt the power grid and fuel supplies, and the civil unrest that ensues will tie our military up domestically and limit our ability to fend off any attack. We have literally been sleepwalking towards this for years.

Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID

Musk announced the planned closure of the foreign assistance agency early Monday on social media.

www.nbcnews.com

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that he and President Donald Trump were in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent.

"We're shutting it down," he said. At another point, he said "we're in the process" of "shutting down USAID."

Musk did not say what legal authority he believed the White House has to shut down a federal agency without congressional approval, or how quickly the administration planned to act. He said the idea had "the full support of the president" and that he had spoken with Trump on the matter several times.

"With regard to the USAID stuff, I went over [it] with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down," he said. "I actually checked with him a few times [and] said, 'Are you sure?'" he said. He said that Trump responded, "Yes."

It seems that Marco Rubio's visit to Panama to meet the President and Foreign Minister has had some success.

Panama will withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party's Silk Road Belt and Road initiative by refusing to renew the agreement.

Now all we need to do is expel the Chinese Communists and all their People's Liberation Army dual operators.

Things are going to get very very dark over the next few years. I genuinely believe moves will be made to keep Trump in power as an absolute leader and that any attempts to remove him will be snuffed out - with direct force when needed. Also expect Twitter to become a complete propaganda news tool - if it isn’t already.

Agreed. I have thought all along as soon as he said he was running again, if he wins there is not a chance in hell he will willingly leave the WH. Problem is this will not just affect the good old USA. The ramifications will reverberate across the rest of the world. Project 25 is in full swing folks. Strap up because it's going to be a very painful ride!!!

Maybe start closer to home with the ties between Russia and the Republican party leadership? Or perhaps kicking all the Chinese spies out of Mar a lago?

Problem with that is there will always be someone to take his place and continue the "good work"

The interviewer naturally asked why then did she vote for Trump. She replied that she did not vote for his education policy but
“Because he said he would put American first.”
She voted for a slogan.

We would never fall for that over here…

No.
Why would you want to put America first?

Tulsi Gabbard has picked up Susan Collins.

“The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, however, has become far larger than it was designed to be, and Ms. Gabbard shares my vision of returning the agency to its intended size. In response to my questions during our discussion in my office and at the open hearing, as well as through her explanation at the closed hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Ms. Gabbard addressed my concerns regarding her views on Edward Snowden. I look forward to working with Ms. Gabbard to strengthen our national security,” Collins concluded.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announced on Monday that she would support Tulsi Gabbard to become the director of national intelligence, one of the most critical roles in President Donald Trump’s cabinet.

“After extensive consideration of her nomination, I will support Tulsi Gabbard to be the Director of National Intelligence,” Collins said in a statement.

Collins addressed some of her concerns in her Monday statement, adding, “As one of the principal authors of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 that established this coordinating position, I understand the critical role the DNI plays in the Intelligence Community.”

Democrats are united in opposition to her serving as the director of national intelligence. A single Republican no vote would complicate her confirmation by the full Senate.

Yup.

Trump's incoming DNI couldn't answer the simple question 'Is Edward Snowden a tritor?' But Trump has given private citizen Elmo unfettered access to all the personal data held by the government with ZERO congressional oversight.

Republicans have gone from 'how dare the government spy on me' to 'meh' in less than a generation.

She doesn't think Edward Snowden is a Traitor.
