it's time to let the popular vote thing rest. You don't understand it. And the end result is Trump IS president. So take a breath, and LET.....IT.......GO.

Yes I do.
More human beings, voted for someone other than Trump, than voted for Trump. The fact that he won more states, is what got him elected, not the fact that he won more people.
That IS how it worked out. I DO understand it, that IS what it means, and no, I will not be "giving it a rest".

First of all, it is absolutely necessary to understand that regardless of what the CIA are, or are not thinking, the FACT is that Trump does NOT represent the majority of Americans, and that is proven quite simply, by the fact that he did not win the majority vote. It is not something to argue over, discuss, debate. The simple fact of the matter is that less people voted Trump, than voted for the OTHER of the two appalling, morally retarded options. So, when Trump pulls a plan out of his rear which frankly appeals to only the right wing, he is NOT listening to the majority opinion, but the MINORITY opinion, and not being a president for ALL Americans, just some Americans. This is also not a debatable point, because the numbers speak for themselves.
HOWEVER, as much as I believe that Trump is filth, and by God do I believe it, I also believe that the CIA should consider its position carefully. I believe that it ought to be allowed to release information if it discovers wrongdoing or shadiness on the part of the administration, because as I have stated before, secrets must be kept ONLY for reasons of national security, not to permit a smokescreen to be placed between the people and the activities of its political leaders. But it must be circumspect and reasonable in its approach, and also it must be, where it would not do harm to the people, under the control of the administration.
Majority of legal or illegal "Americans"?

Then why doesn't Trump let it go? He brings the election up every time he speaks.

Again, it is you who do not understand.
More individuals voted for people other than Trump, than voted for Trump. That is a fact, he did not win a majority of the votes cast. I know why the system works as it does, but it means that someone can win the presidency without winning the most individual votes, as cast at the ballot box, which means that the minority can elect a president, regardless of the wishes of the majority. That IS what happened.

S&F good thread that needed to be shared. Finally, yet scary, that the truth comes out. JFK, MLK, who else are they responsible for?

People with superhuman abilities that thwart limitation.
Anybody thinking that any group of people knowledgeable of this concept wouldn't take proper means to control and hopefully direct this prospect would be ignorant.
Hence everything you're seeing set up
.
Personally I would be disappointed if I didn't see such elaborate endeavors persued.
This is the apex of our experience occurring.
This president is the last gasp state straw man..
The last president (if you could call him that)
I kind of wish I worked for CIA at this point.
The majority of ignorance lacking esoteric wisdom engaging in deep vision overall is saddening to me when looking to an audience such as this.

The main thesis I got from the interview is that the deep state feels that if President Trump would just listen to the American People, the deep state will start liking him. A little bit more.
I guess their ability to listen to his Inauguration speech is impaired. Where he specifically emphasized putting America First.
It is his supporters whose perceptions are impaired. Donald Trump's approach to government is unconstitutional. "America first" is a slogan. The 'deep state" is right to mistrust him. He is placing bankers in charge of regulating the banking industry, guaranteeing another financial crisis. He is placing a mouthpiece for polluters in charge of the EPA, endangering your health. He has espoused anti-vaccination views that can create the conditions for a new lethal pandemic. He has embraced conspiracy theories that can lead to war. I hope that the elected branch of government acts before it is too late, but if it falls on the "deep state," so be it.

Because he's a bonehead sometimes. He has an ego that won't let him not say it. I wish he wouldn't say stupid things, but he does. Luckily, he also has the opportunity to DO some good things, and I hope he DOES do them. Being an American, I have that desire to see my country become better, it's a choice.
