Most people didn't vote for Trump, and I bet some who did are having second thoughts about now.

What about the slightly less than 1/4 that voted for Trump? It's not like he got 75 %, especially losing the popular vote.

Claiming a broad mandate, or a "landslide" (which Trump wants it to be) is blatantly ignorant of facts.

i don't have a problem with them "sitting in" on the meetings at times; david axelrod also did this, and so long as they're cleared for that information i can see a "need to know" if they are advising the president.

I however have a strong problem with them actually being given a seat and a place at the table to engage in discussions of the nsc, and i have an issue with the idea of putting them there while removing logical participants like your military and intelligence leaders.

Left" of a "plot to take down America" by fixating on police shootings of black citizens. He argued that the five police officers slain in Dallas were murdered "by a #BlackLivesMatter-type activist-turned-sniper." And he accused the mainstream media of an Orwellian "bait-and-switch as reporters and their Democratic allies and mentors seek to twist the subject from topics they don't like to discuss—murderers with evil motives—to topics they do like to discuss, such as gun control." Bannon added, "[H]ere's a thought: What if the people getting shot by the cops did things to deserve it? There are, after all, in this world, some people who are naturally aggressive and violent."

Nothing racist in that quote.

I didn't say Bannon was a Nazi.

I said he was an alt-wrong fascist Neo-Nazi White Nationist.

Hope that clears things up for you and do learn how to do yer own homework .

You said you didn't call him a Nazi, and then you say he's a Neo-Nazi?

Nazi & Neo-Nazi are the same thing! :lamo

Given the embarrassing display of immaturity and emotional terror being displayed by many of those who didn't vote for President Trump, I'll bet many who didn't are wishing they did to remove the stain.

I never suggested President Trump won in a landslide. I never suggested 3/4 of the US population voted for him.


Actually, 1/4 of the population of the US did not vote for Hillary, but the statement was made. I let it go because in the big picture, it didn't matter.

Do you really want to jump into this game another poster failed so spectacularly at?

Well, let's look at the entire quote from the article, shall we? :yes:

Trump's top political advisers to attend National Security Council meetings | Washington Examiner

We see two things.

1. Their "permanent" attendance is a relatively NEW thing, established under President Obama in 2009. Apparently prior President's didn't seem to need them at every meeting.

2. They will be invited to attend when issues are on the agenda pertaining to their areas of interest. Isn't it generally a good idea not to waste their time sitting in a meeting just to show their agency "colors?"

Remember, liberals are always about symbolism over substance.

Well, I'd like to think I present my opinion in creative ways, so yes. :cool:

I'm do believe there are many on the left who are embarrassed by the actions of those who also voted for Hillary. For them, I would think the evidence their fellows are suffering from what appears to be psychotic melt downs would be an admission of emotional dependence they would want nothing to do with.

You may know better, and my assumption is wrong, and all Hillary voters are as emotionally hobbled as the ones being shown in the news.

Trump said it was a landslide. Are you sure you want to go on record as contradicting Him?

I didn't realize the other poster was President Trump. I think you could be wrong.

Struggling to stay on topic, or just struggling period?

But can you agree that it's a generally bad idea to not allow the DNI and the Joint Chiefs at meetings pertaining to their very job of National Security?
