Someone needs to stop letting our President run around unsupervised!

Just imagine if a Democrat President had even a hint of Trump's kind of controversy. Sites like ATS would explode. But, for Trump, you guys who are so anxious to find conspiracy in everything, see nothing wrong with a the Pres allowing Russian ambassadors into the Oval Office, and sharing top-secret info with them. Self-delusional, 'poorly educated', hypocrites. Your hatred for Hillary and Obama have blinded you to a clearly incompetent, corrupt buffoon whose refusal to pay any heed to expert advise is placing this country and our armed forces serving over-seas in jeopardy. As I say, if this was a 'D' president, you guys would be organizing marches, threatening armed revolt, and forming militias by now. Pathetic
Worst. President. Ever.

He was supervised, dont flip out everyone.
McMasters was there and said himself, there was no top secrets leaked to Russia in their meeting.
You going to believe unnamed sources and WaPo who clearly has a bias against trump, or the National Security Adviser General?
No need to respond I already know.

On one hand we're supposed to believe Russian Intel is capable of "hacking" our election and inserting their "puppet". And on the other hand we're supposed to believe Russian Intel is so lacking that they didn't already know what city Isis is running operations out of? Sounds to me like if trump did share info, it's about as basic as Intel can get. But the liberal media jumps all over it with words like "highly classified" "anonymous sources" and people are outraged because they're told they're supposed to be. The situation is laughable.
I don't think you understand how intel works. You don't share it with regional rivals who are under sanctions and who are actively destabilising entire regions. You just don't. You can't trust them.
Yes, the situation is indeed laughable, but not for the reasons you think. Trump is showing himself to be so far out of his depth he's no longer visible underwater. If he tells the Russians about even basic intel then the NATO powers are going to go very quiet in terms of sharing their own intel.
Trump is a joke.

according to all the headlines and the tweets this has to do with the safety of commercial flights and the potential of terrorists bringing down a commercial plane. what is the problem with trying to prevent a disaster that will take innocent lives? everything else are just assumptions at this point.

Exactly! Desperate idiots needed a "Trump fix" on a slow news day.
"“As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism,” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.""

Haha, nice, you've pulled a wonderful assumption straight out of your ass. You have never been in the intelligence gathering industry, so your musings on any aspect therein is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Russians are likely propping up Isis where it benefits them as much as going against US interest (just as we did/do with them). We are only 'allies' against terrorism where it benefits us both (which isn't everywhere).
The russian intelligence apparatus is versed in backtracking through information to derive sources. A buffoon like the donald could easily be suckered into blabbing about information (that he felt wasn't secret) which could be used by the russians to figure out who's working for us (and then do any number of nefarious deeds with that information).

Lol who is 'they' and how is information from secure briefings being leaked to the press (if it's true at all)...
There were plenty of inept cabinet people in previous administrations - that is somewhat of a requirement it seems to become political apointees...

So did you have the same view when obama shared Intel with Russia? i.imgs.fyi...
Or does that change your spin like it does for the Washington post?

Food for thought: Why is congress not doing its job? They are the only body that can save the American people and our allies from the disastrous president. Why is it so important to do tax breaks over protecting americans? What do they know we don't know is coming?

Who's doing anything to undermine him?
What are those actions that have undermined him?
Everything that has happened since he took office have been of his own design.
The president always has detractors. Every single one has. It's their job to work around that.
This guy has controversy on speed dial.

I hope you know that not all classified information is equal and just because Obama did it doesn't mean that Trump doing it now was the right thing to do.
wow
