It becomes clearer by the day that the divide amongst us - ALL OF US - around the world is only going to get worse. So, where does it end. Nuclear War...?? Sanctions against anything and everybody that ever had anything to do with N. Korea or Russia.??

Seriously, these sanctions only serve to cut the US out of trade deals that would otherwise benefit the US and the competing nations in commerce. Basically, these sanctions are ridiculous and are put in place to punish those countries who DO NOT want to deal in the US PetroDollar, and have made that CLEAR to the Washington establishment. Keep in mind that the BRIICS countries have ALREADY circumvented the PetroDollar, and its only going to get worse. Turkey is now wanting to get into the action with the BRIICS countries. China deals with 90% of the world on trade. You think that China actually gives a damn what the US thinks...?? I seriously doubt it...

Point in fact of this, the recent sanctions against Russia are nothing more than lip-service, basically just limiting some trade items such as aircraft parts, some electrical items from the computer industries, nothing more. Nobody is watching (apparently) that Russia and the 4 other countries on the Caspain Sea have signed deals that influence and cement in place agreements on trade and usage of the body of water that adjoins the 5 countries. What is the US gonna do...??? More sanctions..?? In the meantime, this pact has opened the door for ALL of the Caspain border countries to do business with both China and Europe, free from US meddling.

Who made the US the police force of the world..?? The IMF...?? (International Monetary Fund...??) Anybody who watches trade deals and international politics sees right through this latest move. These sanctions are nothing more than a slap in the wrist for most of the affected, and are really hurting the US establishment more than anything. Its already a proven fact that Obama and Iran worked around the financial sanctions that the US imposed, so....really, why have these silly sanctions anyway...??? Its only a slap on the wrist, and the affected countries only find ways to work around it...

Then, moving on to the LATEST in the Trump vs. the world saga, Omarosa and her stupidity have taken the accusations against the Trump team to new levels of ignorance. Secret tapes,....?? She isn't smart enough to know that she is not allowed to 'Secretly Tape' classified meetings...?? Seems this woman is about the level of Rachel MadCow…. The ONLY REASON Trump is letting her get away with it,..... it keeps the focus off other more delicate dealings that the i***ts in media CANNOT be allowed to have access to. It keeps the talking heads occupied and howling about useless info. Nobody cares but them. I sure don't care what Omarosa has to say, and 90% of the people I come into contact with don't care either. And they make the same comment.....its only to keep the media hounds distracted and occupied.... so, do 90% of the people agree with me, that its only more from the Theater of the Absurd...??

John Brennan all butthurt because he got his security clearance cancelled...?? Seems to me, anybody NOT IN THE PRESENT administration, shouldn't have security clearance anyway. Just good sense. Cancel them all, then they can form their own little BUTTHURT club, and set around and cry about it and lick their wounds. Seriously people, GET OVER IT AND GROW UP...!! Get a life...

T***hfully, I don't really care what 90% of the people think. If you agree with me, fine.... If you disagree with me, fine.... Makes no difference at the end of the week when my tires are smoking, my back is aching and 150,000 people are using the gas I just hauled, 6 drilling rigs are using the fuel I just hauled, and 18 pieces of heavy equipment are moving dirt with the fuel I just brought them.

Makes no difference at all to them or me.... Just more crybaby crap from the unoccupied left lunatics and talking heads.

More, from the Theater of the Absurd...…..

Need to know only people should have security clearance.

You are indeed correct Ol' Marine.

If you work at AT&T, and you get fired or you quit or you retire, you do not get to keep your access to their mind boggling ability to find and review every single word you have said on your cell phone.

So why should anyone who no longer serves as an administrative staff member, have access to the nation's classified and top secret information ?

Would you want a disgruntled employee like the Omarosa diva to have security clearance ?

Uh yup.Definitely mind boggling bulls**t.
Trying to make any sense of it is painful.
Theatre of the absurd is an accurate description. .You could call Congress that as well.

Amen brother amen.

Maybe you have a point about the sanctions, I am NOT sure. But, I am sure that I believe the USA should, immediately, end all monetary aid to ALL foreign nations. Billions of our money goes this way annually. We have been subsidizing these countries since the end of WW2 with more nations added to our welfare service every few years. All these nations are so accustomed to this, they feel entitled to it, but it never stops any of them criticizing the USA and demanding we do more. As an overabundance of free help often does, this has generated not greater love, respect and gratefulness for our country, but instead a great disdain and, underneath, a desire to see the USA fail and fall. We need to end the money and spend it on our own needs. Let them all take care of themselves and operate their nations effectively or sink. When the USA collapses, an inevitability if we continue as is, none of them will be there to help us. I think the whole world will find themselves in a very different place when America is gone, but none seem to see that.

I agree with you completely. To me the whole security clearance thing is a nonstarter. Who the hell wants people from past administrations to leep their security clearances? And WHY does the U.S. have to police the world? Lets get our own in order.
