Professor Joshus Rovner, the John Goodwin Tower Distinguished Chair of International Politics and National Security, stated, “By ignoring intelligence, Trump risks policy tunnel vision.” Rovner was critical of Trump’s pick of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn to head the CIA because Flynn called the CIA a political arm of the Obama administration.

I'll bet Rovner does not even comprehend the magnitude of his own irony. LTG Flynn is a very bright and capable intel guy, and an excellent choice for any intel agency. The fact that Trump picked him shows that Trump does, in fact, understand the value of good intelligence.

As for the rest of this article, the blaming of Russia for the election result (without ever explaining how Russia supposedly hacked the election) is a continuation of the Hillary campaign. She "warned" that Trump has close ties to Russia, and that those ties would lead to war with Russia. (Don't try to figure this out; liberals do not use logical reasoning.) She also kept talking about how nuclear confrontation is bad, presumably to convince voters that Trump would launch a nuclear war. In reality, the warmongering is projection by the Democrats.

What I see going on now is that the Democrats are trying to make their "predictions" come true. While they still have a few days of presidential power, they are doing everything they can to provoke nuclear war with Russia. This is the same playbook they have been using in other areas: they call Trump supporters violent, so hire thugs to attend Trump rallies and provoke violence. Or years ago, in order to "prove" George Bush's racism, they hired thugs to go to his rallies dressed like klansmen to cheer at his speeches.

What I don't get is why the GOPe is supporting the Democrat agenda. The fact that we have rejected socialism shoved rapidly down our throats by Democrats does not mean that we will accept socialism when delivered by the slow spoonful by the GOPe--the speed of delivery seeming to be the only difference between them. We reject socialism, period.

“What I don’t get is why the GOPe is supporting the Democrat agenda.”

You have just made the entire point as to how and why Trump was elected.

Trump is not a conservative. Trump is a politician’s worst nightmare. As a successful business man, he understands the reasoning behind a barter, not to give your stance away. So he’s not in it not to lose, he’s in it to win. He is not a politician with a hidden past. He’s lived his skeletons right out in the open. They won’t surprise him or be able to threaten him so they have no power over him, either side. He’s a billionaire with homes, property, income, protected family, and a future in any country he wants. He can be fearless. He has no taste for the media. (I don’t either) He can boot them off his plane if he wants, and has. In their case, no news is good news. Nothing to lie about.

So, here’s what you have: a president that can’t be threatened or controlled to do things. He can compromise when HE wants for the direction he can go in this country’s best or worst instance. He doesn’t have to sell his soul to anyone. If they throw him out, so what? By the time they do, a lot of changes are going to be made. After all, he didn’t invent or reinvent the executive order. But the previous liar an crook did. “Blueprint”

So get ready, the E ticket ride is about to start. I have no real idea where it is going to go, but it will be different from every president we’ve had in a century. And it’s about time.
