THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Penner]

Washington (CNN)The nation's former spy chief said he worries the Trump administration's recent travel ban targeting citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries is damaging to US interests and that he's not aware of any intelligence necessitating the ban.

James Clapper, who served as director of national intelligence under President Barack Obama, made his first public comments since leaving office during an exclusive interview with CNN's Jim Sciutto.

"I do worry (the) countries in question with whom we do deal and who are reliable partners, and I also worry about this creating a recruiting tool for the extremists," Clapper said, "that they will point to this proof that there is a war on all Muslims and they are very astute, particularly ISIL, at exploiting for recruitment purposes."

The Trump administration faced continued criticism over possible ethics violations Thursday after a White House official promoted Ivanka Trump's clothing line in a television interview.

"Go buy Ivanka's stuff," Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, told Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy.

Ivanka Trump has a "wonderful line," Conway added. "I own some of it. I fully, I'm gonna just going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today everybody. You can find it online."

Conway was immediately accused of breaking federal ethics rules.

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz sharply criticized Conway for her remarks.

Pssssst--someone tell penner that CNN may not be the best news source, that we all have access to it, and that we'd rather read her personal considerations on any given topic, than the calculated crap she's linking. Also, save the SNL clips.
Thanks, I haven't the heart to tell her myself.

Clapper, "I'm a cuck for radical Islam"

Some nobody that probably wasn't ever being considered, "I'm not working for Trump anymore!"

Gurusch, "please stop tweeting mean things!"

Trump, "Hey fuck you, sell my wife's shitty clothing!"

Ok. Next.

I'm surprised California (our MHF member,) hasn't heard about this or said anything yet. He's always been ready to gas the pedos with me.
