Senior ex-CIA official: Putin made Trump 'an unwitting agent' of Russia
A former top CIA official attacked Donald Trump on Friday as a danger to national security, saying President Vladimir Putin had made the Republican presidential candidate an "unwitting agent" of Russia.
Putin had flattered Trump into supporting positions favorable to Russia, Michael Morell, a longtime CIA officer and former deputy director of the agency, said in an opinion piece in The New York Times.
"In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation," Morell said, in an article in which he endorsed Trump's rival in the Nov. 8 election, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

"I Ran the C.I.A. Now I’m Endorsing Hillary Clinton."During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties — three Republicans and three Democrats. I was at President George W. Bush’s side when we were attacked on Sept. 11; as deputy director of the agency, I was with President Obama when we killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.
I am neither a registered Democrat nor a registered Republican. In my 40 years of voting, I have pulled the lever for candidates of both parties. As a government official, I have always been silent about my preference for president.
No longer. On Nov. 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Between now and then, I will do everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president.
Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe.
Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.

- Is that a good endorsement or a bad one? Really has the CIA kept us safe in the last 33 years or created the problems we have today?********

Trump gets his financing from Russians with money. And Russian with money tends to be Putin or has a relationship with Putin.

other than the fact that Trump's newly announced economic advisory team is only white, contains no women and few actual economists it's interesting to see that many of them made their fortunes speculating on other people's financial distress or by placing bets against the US economy

Trump saw the video of the plane carrying the $400mill to Iran - was on the same tape as the one with the Muslims dancing in NJ on 9/11.

- Like most campaign ads, this has no substance. -1 for referring to herself as "Doctor" Jill Stein.********
- Regardless, I'm sure most economists would agree that her economic policies would be terrible for any country.********
- ... economic policies that sell weapons to other countries for wars are bad for the people. Green tech and education ideally solves a bulk of issues.********
- it may depend on the source of our climbing debt crisis, but over the past 20 years, I think it proves that war was not the economic answer.********
- It's impossible to say with certainty, that's for sure!********
- war has very little to do with the economics. remember its largely a myth that WWII propped the economy based on unemployment numbers that dont factor fighters********
- the main factor driving economy is ppl and their freedom to make money. she is against that. she wants u to only make money her way. shes an obtuse nutter********
- and she gives ""third parties" a bad name and make you think they might all be disconnected and inexperienced********
- Like most campaign ads, this has no substance. -1 for referring to herself as "Doctor" Jill Stein.

More bullshit from Trump. Seriously, this guy is a master of making two opposing statements at the same time. Often within the same sentence. She's a death/destruction monster, but at the same time she's weak. Which do you prefer? Take your pick! Reality is just a concept! There is no objective truth! Fuck it! Believe anything you want, no matter how ridiculous, it works for me!

"The legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, chaos and weakness," Trump said. "She's weak. She's a weak person. I know her. She's a weak person."
"In one way she's a monster," Trump said. "In another way she's a weak person."
Trump's attacks on Clinton's character found their mark with his supporters in Des Moines, who broke out in chants of "Lock her up! Lock her up!" to which Trump offered a smile, a thumbs-up and a "thank you" -- just over a week after he rejected those chants as a "shame," before later saying he agreed with the chants.
Several Trump supporters responded more aggressively to Trump's biting excoriation of Clinton's character.
"Traitor," shouted one person in the crowd.
"Kill her," added another.

see mono, like this...
"Clinton's third-party headache
Polls show younger voters are taking a long look at the Libertarian and Green Party nominees this year. That could be a big problem for Hillary Clinton in a close race against Donald Trump......The extent to which Johnson and Stein are cutting into Clinton’s lead is small but fairly consistent. In the 15 major national polls conducted since the first night of the Republican convention last month that included both the two-way and four-way ballot tests, Clinton has had a smaller lead over Trump in nine, and her lead has been unchanged in five of them. In only in one of the surveys has Clinton’s lead actually increased when Johnson and Stein are included."
- You sound so insane when you direct this rubbish at me and not the other hundred members here who hate trump and his people more than me.monospaced
- Just like yuri, you get hyper triggered when trump is a fuckass, and regardless of who posts it, you go after me. So fucking pathetic. Just like trump.monospaced
- Enjoy the multiple down voted and I expect you to misinterpret them completely as some sort of victory on your part.monospaced
- This article clearly states that the independents resulted in a Clinton increase. That's trump losing votes btwmonospaced
- yuekit4
This is interesting...according to some polls Trump is actually losing to Johnson and Stein among people 30 or younger.

So yes keep promoting third party. Maybe in the future we will have Libertarians and Greens the main alternatives, with the GOP pretty much dead.
- so you actually thought young people would be voting for Trump? lol.fadein11
- What's also astounding is the under 30 trend in support of The 3rd party system in the future.********
- Lol fadein, seriously, why is this surprising********

- omg are you taking your political advice from a 14 year old kid in a hot dog suit?********
- i think everyone no matter their age, or outside appearance gets a voice. Are you saying their voice is less important or less credible than yours nb?********
- No, I'm not saying his voice is less important. But come on, this kid's ideas are so juvenile and simplistic.********
- To his credit, plenty of grown-ups have similar ideas. But, if we judge this video on it's merits, it's a bit juvenile and silly. Regardless of who said it.********
- I don't think you're looking deep enough into the concerns of this young kid********
- also when you were young, did you have the same concerns for gay people as this kid did?********
- I don't think i barely cared who the politicians were and whether or not they should be trusted or not.********
- So this kid is smarter than you or I were at that age. So what? I'm sure there are always tons of kids like this. The difference now is social media.********
- And still, it's not like he's some genius savant. He's criticizing Hillary for what, exactly? For changing her position? And his conclusion is "Vote Trump"?********
- That is so ridiculous for a number of reasons. Not that it matters, but Trump changes his opinion more often than anyone, sometimes from one day to the next.********
- More importantly, don't you WANT a politician who is open to change? One who might change their position based on what they interpret the majority wants?********
- Obviously your the one looking for political advice from a 14 year old kid.********
- *you're********
- Also, what?********
- Maybe I don't understand what you intended to say by posting the video.********
- I wasn't saying anything. I was just giving the kid some airtime, and checking out some responses.********
- Oh ok. Sorry for misinterpreting.********
- I totally agree with everything you said, but had he been a Hillary supporter, would you have been more sympathetic to the hot dog?********
