Trump has no respect for the CIA because it doesn’t report what he wants to hear.

Trump has consistently disputed reports that Russian intelligence worked to help his campaign. In an interview with Time published this week, Trump said, “I don’t believe it. I don’t believe they interfered.” He added he believed the reports of Russian intervention were politically motivated.

Retired general Michael Hayden, who served as CIA director during the Bush administration, was critical of Trump’s refusal to accept the conclusion of the intelligence community.

“To have the president-elect of the United States simply reject the fact-based narrative that the intelligence community puts together because it conflicts with his a priori assumptions. Wow,” Hayden said at an event in Manhattan, according to CNN. “The data matters.”

    Clearly the orange one is unqualified to be president. If he is elected we should resist the government for his term by not cooperating with it. We must resist, so we don’t turn into a fascist state headed by a moron.

    Having his election win manipulated by a foreign power should be grounds for immediate disqualification. Having it manipulated by Russia, should put him in jail! He should not be allowed to receive any electoral college votes and not be allowed to take the oath of office.

    Trump actually, live on TV asked, no PLEAD with Russia to hack Hillary’s computers! He asked them to interfere! He was fully aware they were doing this and he most likely paid them to do it! Let’s get all the evidence out before this madman traitor becomes President!!

      I think we should sue any electors that for T. Rump and ask the attorney general to file charges on them for knowingly voting for someone unqualified for president. I think it should be considered a treasonous crime to vote for him.

      apparently the Russians also hacked into the RNC but did not release what their findings. what on earth do they have on the RNC that’s causing them to sleep with the enemy?

    This is the hidden agenda the Republican Party has had for decades, support the oligarchy, increase the number of under-educated people, shrink the middle class, legislate “morals” based on fundigelical Christianity, destroy all welfare programs and increase the power of the executive. It’s a long game but now it is near fruition, just a couple of Supreme Court justices away and the Great Experiment is over, the dreams of the Founders shattered. All over the Western world the gains of the Enlightenment are being eroded as fanatical religion continues to advance and governments are moving back toward authoritarian principles. Progressiveness is being overwhelmed by regressiveness, still moving slowly but gaining momentum, the forces of fear and ignorance are pulling us, seemingly inexorably, toward the darkness of the past.

        Unfortunately, the Constitution was never meant for us Blacks and many of Trump supporters wish they could make us slaves again! The way things are going in this country, I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to bring slavery back or deport all minorities!

    First order of business as incoming President of the United States, is to publicly disrespect the CIA.

    I can recall only one prior President who rebuffed the CIA in such a direct and public manner. That was John F. Kennedy who decided to finally pull the plug on any follow-up activity to the Bay of Pigs disaster, despite the advocacy of the CIA for further operations on behalf of the Cuban exiles.

    Less than 3 years later JFK was dead. Not saying those events are related..Just sayin…
