Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Col. Steve Ganyard said Donald Trump’s comments about his classified intelligence briefing this week troubled some in the intelligence community, saying that “our friends in the intelligence community were quite upset to hear that sort of talk.”

................... As for Trump’s recent praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin and potential ties to Russia?

“I used to think the Manchurian candidate was just a movie. Now, I’m beginning to wonder,” Ganyard replied, later slamming Trump for appearing on the Russian television program, “RT,” which he called “a propaganda arm of the Russian government.”

“For [Trump] to go on and treat it like it was ABC, or NBC, or CBS, is just deceptive,” he added. ........................

1. It is the little kid trump talking, and making those motions with his little bitty hands.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Amateur campaign headed by an amateur. Mouth runs before itty bitty brain put in gear. . . nt

3. Gotcha, good one.

6. Nah, it's more a case where the little head below the belt. . .

. . .is doing the thinking for the big one above it.

4. the maggot doesn't need an intelligence briefing

he needs an intelligence transplant from at least a person with an IQ of, well any IQ at all

[LuckyLib]

7. So true. Intelligence and Trump are mutually exclusive.

8. So for the next scheduled meeting

we bring in NOAA and give Donald the 15-day forecast and tell him that that's about all we can trust him with since he has proven to be that person who wants to "show-off" because he might know something you don't. Blabber Mouth!!

[calimary]

12. Welcome to DU, Island Deac.

I am STUNNED. Just again and again and again, I'm STUNNED!

Watching the "Bloomberger" show, "With All Due Respect" on MSNBC with John Heilemann, and Donny Deutsch filling in. And in the first segment they bemoan how they HOPE the American People will start looking at the reality rather than the style as the campaign grinds toward its end times.

So I got mad and tweeted to both of them that it MIGHT happen if jerks like them would DO THEIR JOBS, and stop obsessing on the emails and start fact-checking The Donald.

9. I can't believe they're telling him anything of value.

"Mr. Trump, there is intelligence that a new king in the North has amassed forces that are currently approaching King's Landing. We also hear that a queen in the East has designs on Westeros, and she has amassed a huge Dothraki army. Sources say she also controls three dragons."

"Pence, ask Ivanka what happened to that Reuben I ordered. This is a corned beef! What the fuck's the matter with you people?!"

10. For one thing, Reubens aren't fast enough or fat enough food for Trump. He's a KFC/McDonalds man.

And for another thing, I think his briefings days are over. They're not telling him shit from now on.

[roamer65]

11. I hope they get really pissed and decide to act. N/t

13. How long before Trump's bff Putin got a briefing of the briefing?

[deminks]

14. Well, then they need to do something about it.

Being upset does not solve the problem.

[jaxind]

15. Honestly....

Honestly...what did they expect?? You tell a 5 year old a secret...of course he's going to blab it!!

[ffr]

16. That settles that forum's champion, in no uncertain terms

Commander-in-Chief Winner (by a New York mile): Hillary Rodham Clinton.

CLINTON: I think what he said was totally inappropriate and undisciplined. I would never comment on any aspect of an intelligence briefing that I received.

On to the next debate.

[NurseJackie]

17. Which reminds me... are links to "RT" videos still permitted here?

We've long known that it's a propaganda arm of the Russian government ... and there have been calls for RT to be banned here ... was that ever resolved one way or the other?

[Motley13]

18. Why would it be banned, everything is worth discussing

We should hear what even our enemies are pushing.

Hopefully we don't buy craziness at DU like the trumpanzees do.
