He's a master of fact assimilation, cortical remapping, and declarative memory. A virtual trap, his mind moves over the briefing book like a ~~dagga cloud~~ mist. Questions seldom arise as he is all knowing. Briefing books in Aramaic, Yupik, and Tagalog have been sent in error, he absorbs them as well. Nothing escapes him.

#2 He IS....the smartest man in the room.

Stay thirsty, my friends.

#3 I bet he doesn't read them. Some minion may but then its doubtful he gets all the bad news bits.

#4 I heard this morning he was getting intelligent briefings via his emails. Scary that there is a president who is so disengaged, insulated from reality--basically he is living in a narcissistic bubble. No wonder he had trouble making decisions. Although, it is doubtful that he would anyway if he had face-to-face meetings with the intelligence community. Worst president in our history. Is there anyone who was worse?

#5 I heard this morning he was getting intelligent briefings via his emails.

Do the emails still have the IRS approved header "Erase before Opening"?

#6 Is it just my subjective impression, that---whenever affirmative action is invoked on behalf of a group---the worst members of this group are the principal beneficiaries?

#7 If he doesn't take these briefings in person he can say "no one told me. I heard it on the news". President Obama was nowhere to be found during the beginning of a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine commission in Wales on Thursday.
Obama was “noticeably absent” from the start of the meeting, according to a White House pool report, although U.S. Ambassador to NATO Douglas Lute was in attendance.

Neuroscientists the world over remain gobsmacked. His highly developed psychokinetic ability negates the requirement for formal briefings. Seventeen cleverly disguised towers constantly feed him important data. He drives his own golf cart. He is his own man.

I KNOW he doesn't get the bad news bits...the minion gets fired the second time he disturbs The One.

Use a sling shot.

#12 LMAO, B! The scary part is, if you said these things to his face, he'd likely get all bashful and self-effacing. Utterly failing to recognize the withering sarcasm, or realize he is being brutally mocked and ridiculed by a person who leaves more brains behind after a trip to the toilet.

I suspect Putin got all invadey once he realized this.

#13 Stonehenge followed by the links. He's getting fully briefed in transit, and will no doubt drop into the NATO meeting if something important comes up.

#14 Just hit him over the head with a heavy object, drag him to another room and let the adults decide things.

Teh 0ne won't even notice after he wakes up.
