If all these companies, cities and/or states are going to go ahead and follow the accord to make a greener planet, then why are you getting so upset that we, the U.S. taxpayers, won't be paying for all the other countries to do the same? Why can't they do it without us financing them?

I'm sure I must be missing something here.

And before you lay into me nick, I didn't vote for Trump.

I am curious what the guys here think about "leakers"? They arrested a Federal Contractor that works at the NSA for leaking sensitive information.

Here is my take...

A little background: The first 11 years in the Army my units worked directly under NSA. I had a Top Secret - Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance. We had our bags checked whenever we we're leaving. Cell Phones or any other electronic devices we're not allowed.

Everyone working in these jobs are required to sign a non-disclosure statement. They are required to complete training quarterly (contractors were forced to do the same). These people should be treated no differently than Richard Hanson (gave secrets to Russia). She can do 10 years if found guilty, I think she should be there every minute of those 10 years.

What are your thoughts?

There's no higher authority on the subject than the leader of the Caucs. I'll defer to him.

So this Comey Congressional hearing tomorrow will be must watch TV eh?
Former FBI Director James Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee this Thursday will be aired live on national television, making it one of a handful of congressional hearings in history deemed significant enough to broadcast live.

Other such events include the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, the Watergate hearings in 1973, the Iran-contra hearings in 1987, the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991 and President Bill Clinton impeachment hearings in 1998.

I think it should be good.

Some must watch if the news today is true.

I watched the hearing today and nobody would collaborate any of the news from the Times or Post. The Admiral said he never felt pressured on anything in regard to the Russia probe.

Lots of no comments today but generally, the hearing today was positive for Trump, correct?

From what I noticed, I didn't find much that was bad for Trump, but I also don't even really understand what this hearing is about lol.

I replied that I loved my work and intended to stay and serve out my ten- year term as Director. And then, because the set-up made me uneasy, I added that I was not “reliable” in the way politicians use that word, but he could always count on me to tell him the truth. I added that I was not on anybody’s side politically and could not be counted on in the traditional political sense, a stance I said was in his best interest as the President.

A few moments later, the President said, “I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.” I didn’t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence. The conversation then moved on, but he returned to the subject near the end of our dinner.
