Any reason? Like firing him to cover up a crime?
So he serves the president and not the people of the US? So if the president gives him an order that violates the constitution or breaks the law he needs to obey the president?

So.... you want to change the subject for some reason? You think that any president that makes an order that is overturned by the SCOTUS is impeachable? So... Obama should have been impeached for his illegal immigrant order? Haha. Please say something reasonable.
It seemed to me that you were arguing that the President has zero constitutional checks on his actions, so long as those actions are confined to the executive branch. This is simply not how it works.

I was simply saying that the POTUS has full authority to legally fire the FBI director for any reason (because he doesn't swallow - for example). The power to remove a president does not come from the FBI. It comes from the Senate which can impeach him/her and remove them from office with a 2/3 vote. The constitutions is not in crisis.... only pinko uni professors are in crisis.

Another interesting video, more questions to McMaster, including specific ones about Trump revealing classified information from a US partner in the meeting:

[youtube][/youtube]

He carefully dodges the question about whether Trump talked about what the WaPo article said he talked about. So basically we have to trust his judgment that what Trump said wasn't revealing any "inappropriate" information.

The WaPo article seems to be accurate, it's just that WaPO and McMaster disagree about the importance of what Trump revealed to the Russians.

Joe Rogan is livestreaming his latest podcast with Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson & Michael Shermer. No word on whether they'll address the recent rape accusations against noted atheist blogger Dan Arel.

That can't be the original story because it has a time of 7:45pm yesterday. The original WaPo article hit yesterday afternoon cause I watched the aspie WaPo reporter on Newshour at 6:00pm.

And yes.... all other media sources are simply quoting from the original WaPo article.

I really don't think that there's any reasonable argument for impeachment at this point. There's nothing definitive about Trump acting illegally. For all we know now he might have just been sympathetic to some kind of resolution of tensions with Russia to focus on fighting muslim terrorism and various Salafi militias (just like he and pretty much all other US presidents act sympathetically towards Saudi Arabia), and just reckless about using information without knowing where it came from (during the campaign) or about divulging information to the representatives of a foreign power (in the last meeting).

There are some gray areas looking into what's going on, though. Did Trump or any of his close associates meet with representatives of Russia or talked to them or used third parties to discuss the leaks of Clinton's emails, and if so, in what context? Did Russian authorities sell part of the control of Rosneft to Trump or his associates? What is the exact nature of the financial and political links between Trump, some of his associates (Manafort, Flynn) and Russia and/or other foreign powers?

There's also a lot of ridiculous bullshit about "golden showers" or Russia blackmailing Trump with tapes of him fucking Russian hookers or Putin personally ordering the hacking of Clinton's emails. The US need some kind of independent commission to look into what's going on, answer to questions and separate the bullshit from what's more credible.

I'm assuming PZ still holds to the idea that the old school big tent "skeptic leadership" conspired to keep atheism out of TAM etc and is a liberal cabal.

He would however like to set the record straight on Trump.
I don’t believe there is a conspiracy, or that our president is a Russian mole. Instead, I accept the “he’s a stupid man” theory.

http://archive.is/25QQx
This is the most important part:
Trump went on to discuss aspects of the threat that the United States only learned through the espionage capabilities of a key partner. He did not reveal the specific intelligence gathering method, but described how the Islamic State was pursuing elements of a specific plot and how much harm such an attack could cause under varying circumstances. Most alarmingly, officials said, Trump revealed the city in the Islamic State’s territory where the U.S. intelligence partner detected the threat.

The Washington Post is withholding most plot details, including the name of the city, at the urging of officials who warned that revealing them would jeopardize important intelligence capabilities.

“Everyone knows this stream is very sensitive and the idea of sharing it at this level of granularity with the Russians is troubling,” said a former senior U.S. counterterrorism official who also worked closely with members of the Trump national security team. He and others spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the subject.

The identification of the location was seen as particularly problematic, officials said, because Russia could use that detail to help identify the U.S. ally or intelligence capability involved. Officials said that the capability could be useful for other purposes, possibly providing intelligence on Russia’s presence in Syria. Moscow and would be keenly interested in identifying that source and possibly disrupting it.

Russia and the United States both regard the Islamic State as an enemy and share limited information about terrorist threats. But the two nations have competing agendas in Syria, where Moscow has deployed military assets and personnel to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

“Russia could identify our sources or techniques,” the senior U.S. official said. A former intelligence official who handled high-level intelligence on Russia said that given the clues Trump provided, “I don’t think that it would be that hard [for Russian spy services] to figure this out.”

At a more fundamental level, the information wasn’t the United States’ to provide to others. Under the rules of espionage, governments — and even individual agencies — are given significant control over whether and how the information they gather is disseminated even after it has been shared. Violating that practice undercuts trust considered essential to sharing secrets.

The officials declined to identify the ally, but said it is one that has previously voiced frustration with Washington’s inability to safeguard sensitive information related to Iraq and Syria.

“If that partner learned we’d given this to Russia without their knowledge or asking first that is a blow to that relationship,” the U.S. official said.
McMaster hasn't denied that Trump revealed the name of the city where the intel was gathered, he's actually confirmed it in the video I've posted at that top of the page. He's just not convinced that the reveal was inappropriate and thinks it fits within the pattern of sharing information with other countries about common threats.

I guess that without knowing the name of the city or which US ally gave the US this piece of intel it's hard to know for sure. I've read speculations which, if true, would definitely be cause for concern.

Wait, so clothing can affect how a person feels about their body? If someone is overweight, cramming their body into ill-fitting clothing can make them feel bad? If a woman is slim, she can feel good if she slips into a perfectly fitted dress?

The news media allegedly received 30 different contacts.

Possibilities:
*"The Russians did it!!!" (I doubt the Russians would leak 30 times)
* McCaster, Trump or one of the other two talked to other staff about the non-privileged things that went on in the meeting with their staff, grape vine continues, reaches up to 30 chatty-kathies, one of the chatty-kathies has more information about sources & methods and leaks that information too.

Talking about state secrets in a more or less informal meeting with representatives of a foreign country, without at least having checked what you're going to say with your intelligence agencies, is pretty stupid. If Obama had done it Trump would had turned it into a meme about "Crooked Barry".

I think there's a lot of smoke and still not enough of a fire when it comes to illegal actions, but the threshold for calling something stupid is much lower, and this was a stupid move no matter how you spin it.
Since he did nothing illegal, then he did not spill any info that he's not allowed to at his discretion. If Obama had done it, absolutely nothing would have happened. No one would have even thought it worth mentioning.
But the point is, Obama wouldn't have done it. Because it was done to try to impress the Russians; and Obama, unlike Trump, doesn't have the impulse control and desire-for-affirmation of a 6 year old.

Well, whether people are impressed or not, Cernovich keeps getting things right. And no matter what any rags with names ending in "Times" are saying, Trump is very against radical islam.

He also backed up the thing about extra info being leaked in addition to stuff from the meeting.

Pretty sure she meant Adam Savage, although the ex could have been there too I suppose. .. I notice "BF" has now been elevated to "C" in 'code speak' since he's met his future in-laws.

Crap. Calling "pizzagate" true. Pizzagate was a shit show of conspiracy theorists proportions. I can understand 4channers trolling. I can understand insane reptiloid conspiracy fools getting suckered in.

But a lawyer? He saw that "evidence" and swallowed it whole? I generally thought he was OK, if not a little gun-ho. It really does call into question his ability to evaluate information, leaks and sources he receives.

Not necessarily. But it means you should be highly skeptical of Cernovich's fact collection, and evidence evaluation capabilities.

Damn it, man! It's been over 35 years and I had just forgotten that particular horrorshow.

I'll have to fight back.

Not necessarily. But it means you should be highly skeptical of Cernovich's fact collection, and evidence evaluation capabilities.
Agreed. But skeptical is one thing while being hyperskeptical is quite another.

Really a challenge though, deciding who has the goods and who's blowing smoke out their arses. Given the tendency for "the DeepState!!11!!" to put their thumbs on the scales, it's moot whether their story or that of Trump is the more credible. Kind of amused though that this whole process of leakers all over the place - Anonymous, WikiLeaks, da Russians!, etc - makes government more like a leaky sieve than not - the beginning of a truly open government?

Really?

The quote is interesting. It is not a direct threat. I would use similar language in a business negotiation:
“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey, according to the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

Closer to a threat would be:
Trump tweeted on Friday that "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"

Dan Arel could pull out of his career death spiral by taking a page out of Dr. Richard Carrier, Ph.D.'s playbook:
I'll be in Grosse Pointe on Wednesday, competing in a darts tournament at the barroom of Metal Workers' Local 643. Come watch me play darts, drink domestic beer on tap, and talk about the marxist dialectic and white privilege. Or just come and watch me drink myself into a stupor then get the shit kicked out of me after I take a wild swing at a metal worker in a MAGA cap.

I don’t believe there is a conspiracy, or that our president is a Russian mole. Instead, I accept the “he’s a stupid man” theory.
I tend to agree with PeeZie on this one. More "narcissistic, reckless and uninformed" than stupid, though. By the way, isn't stupid "ableist"? You're a shitlord, PZ! :lol:

Wait! Grosse Pointe is one of the most exclusive areas in Michigan. Tons of old money. The bar is probably full of young rich commies from wealthy families.

Yep. Also apparently people like Razib Khan and Ayaan Hirsi Ali are also "white supremacist".

Seems to me that the term "white supremacist" as used by the usual suspects, means people who will explore forbidden topics and come to conclusions that are contrary to their dogma.

Dunno about you guys, but to me the term ideologue is a damming pejorative. It says you are a waste of space and the world is a better place once you leave it.

This was mentioned here already. Right?

Trump to give speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia
"He will meet and have lunch with leaders of more than 50 Muslim countries, where he will deliver an inspiring, direct speech on the need to confront radical ideology and the president's hopes for a peaceful vision of Islam," National Security Advisor HR McMaster told reporters.

I would hate to be on Trump's security team.

If Trump leaves office before his term is finished, it won't be because he is impeached. I thought odds were higher of a crack-pot radical leftist taking him out. But when he goes tromping over to the Middle East to talk about Islam, I can't help but see matters going wrong. The guy has balls of brass. And I bet all of the insiders who want to see him gone are not trying to talk him out of it.

I hope Pence is up to the task of taking over. Not looking forward to his stance on LGBT rights.

Yet another wackjob hopped the White House fence today. I haven't gone into a statistical analysis, but my impression is that Trump has had far more wackjobs hopping the fence than Obama did, even though he was seen by the vast swath of billions of American white supremacists as the first Kenyan interloper or whatever the SJWs were trying to convince us represented a huge security problem.

Cernovich OK? Please, he's the Breitbart of the 2010s, and I'm hoping he has about the same shelf life. He even sounds like Breitbart. He's got "crank" written all over him.

Watch his 60 minutes bit, or him at the White House press meeting. Weird little man.

When you've decided that literally everything that is, was or ever could be is racist, the word "racist" no longer has much impact, and nobody takes any notice when you accuse them of being racists. Hence "white supremacist". Give it six months, that'll have lost it's sting and anyone who's not an SJW will probably be genocide advocates, and from there it's only a short step to planet devourers and Lovecraftian elder gods.

In the old Atheism Plus forum using "stupid" as an insult was compared to advocating mass murder of people with learning disabilities.

The entire Po-mo left is going full Atheism Plus forum.

So does anyone use 'ideologue' in a positive sense?

I never really thought about what it - but a quick google gives this as one definition:

"an adherent of an ideology, especially one who is uncompromising and dogmatic."


Which in a certain light - I think could describe me.

It's not that much of an insult, it's just saying that someone doesn't believe the same thing as you and is prepared to stand up for their beliefs - whilst entirely sidestepping what those beliefs might be. It's a label used to avoid discussion.

I can see why it's caught on.
