You are better than this. It isn't the speaking too loud, it is the idea that the cellphone is being used at all. It is worth noting that after making "Hillary's Emails" his number one campaign issue, DJT runs an administration that seems remarkably unconcerned with information security.ATL Bear said:Speaking too loud on a cell phone is closer to item 1,345 than 1. I mean, the horror! This reminds me of when people criticized Obama for filling out a tourney bracket.Booray said:When example 1,345 is presented of Trump's self-interest taking precedence over the country's interest, the reaction seems to be to ignore the 1,344 instances that preceded it and minimize the topic at hand.ATL Bear said:I'm sorry, but this is amazing nit picking we have going on here. Aside from this not being some top secret level conversation, we're also complaining that what, the President should have been whispering about it instead of talking so loud? C'mon....Booray said:I think you missed the point. I am not talking about the July 25 call between Trump and Zelensky. Apparently the following day, Ambassador Sonland called President Trump from his cell phone and while at a restaurant in Kiev. Trump was talking so loud that Sonland held the phone away from his ears and several folks in the lunch party overheard it.RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:
Not real sure I understand the outrage of the contents of the phone call. Sounds to me like half of the bureaucrats in Washington were listening in. Not sure that is Trump's fault.
Please find something else. The majority of Americans don't want to remove a duly elected President just because you don't like his manners on a phone call. Next scandal please. Find one with just a wee bit of substance.
Thanks
The July 25 call was made from a secure line and its readout was placed on our most secure server.
The subject of the July 26 call was whether would be pursuing the investigations, essentially a follow-up to the July 25 call. .
The problem I am referring to does not depend on whether the investigations are appropriate. Instead I am pointing out that security experts say that the manner in which the July 26 call was made made it highly likely that Russian intelligence listened to the second call. After all the "lock her up chants" based on the idea that Hillary did not protect classified or confidential information, it is a little bit ironic that DJT would be broadcasting to Russia his strategy for a country that Russia is intensely interested in? If the July 25 call deserved to be treated as super secret, why would you open your underwear drawer the next day to discuss the same thing?
And let's clarify that we're in the middle of an attempted abuse of power investigation, not even an actual one.
Seriously, people need to move on.
I'm sorry, but the way this President runs the country is not something I am going to move on from. It is abhorrent.
But you seem to have fallen into the "any criticism is too much" where Dear Leader is concerned. Too bad.
