Next we'll be accused of mis-quoting him or something.

Oh you KNOW that's coming, hahaha. Will probably be followed up shortly thereafter with accusations that we're all attempting to frame him and that we're all liars.

Thanks for the link from a right wing advocacy organization that's already been discussed in this thread, associated with the oh-so-accurate book Clinton Cash no less! This sounds like a VERY credible organization, haha.

Sources, DSF. Sources, sources, sources. Don't you ever get tired of being duped?
And where are your sources to back up your assertion that he attended an "overwhelming majority" of these briefings?

So we can check MSNBC. Right ?
"According to the “Government Accountability Institute,” since President Obama’s second inaugural, he’s received in-person daily intelligence briefings 41.26% of the time, and written daily intelligence briefings 58.74% of the time. Under the White House’s system, if the president has follow-up questions or requests additional details after reading the written report, intelligence officials then provide more information upon request.
Why is this interesting? It’s not."

So tell us, did President -elect Trump get those written briefings and it doesn't really matter? I'm loving watching all you lefties running around and crying post election tears.

So he provides a source, and you say it's a lousy one.... and you provide none. Brilliant!

I have no idea how many obummer attended or didn't attend. Doesn't really matter one way or another, but the faux outrage at Trump is wonderful though!

It's not my job to disprove a clearly biased source, it's his job to provide credible evidence.

So a different news organization quoting the exact same conservative advocacy organization? Why would that be better?

After his election in 2008, President Obama took part not only in regular intelligence briefings but also scheduled “deep dives” on key subjects including Iran’s nuclear program and covert CIA operations, including the accelerating campaign of drone strikes in Pakistan.

“During the transition, President Obama was an avid consumer of intelligence,” said retired Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, who was CIA director when Obama was elected.

Man, can you imagine a being a P&N poster who feels a need to defend/deflect for Trump for 4 yrs (assuming he makes it a full term)? You've got to have terrible judgement to make excuses for a POTUS so unqualified for the office that he wouldn't be hired to run a local PTA meeting let alone a country. You peeps gotta be easily duped to make excuses for this.

You folks keep acting like we're sore because "you won; we lost."

To us, it's more of a problem that we all lost, just for some reverence for the Truth and civility, but we imagine or suspect much worse as time passes.

Waiting for you to either provide sources for your previous statement or admit that you're making up horseshit as you go along.

lol, first of all I said 'pretty sure', and that 'pretty sure' has already been substantiated by JD50 from a credible organization. You on the other hand provided a right wing advocacy organization piece.

Sources, sources, sources.

It's the way the fake news cycle works. Reference a single questionable source from multiple sites and then assume because 15 different sites are saying the same thing it must be true. The recent CNN is showing porn story is a great example. People are talking about it, people are saying must be legit.

It's not my job to disprove a clearly biased source, it's his job to provide credible evidence.

Lets see... you posted: "Pretty sure Obama went to the overwhelming majority of his national security briefings. Maybe Trump needs tips from Obama on time management?", yet provided no source. Is it someone else's job to provide a source for your claims? Then you turn around and whine about the source someone else provided without providing any source at all. Twisting yourself into a pretzel as usual I see.
