  • Trump appoints another unconfirmed loyalist stooge to head U.S. intelligence.

    Richard Grenell, the current ambassador to Germany has been named active DNI, active meaning unconfirmed, which is a tactic used by the dictator to position his stooges in positions of power without the need of Congressional confirmation.

      This is a dictators tactic, an end run around the vetting process in which he can temporarily place any loyalist stooge he perfers in any position of power and then replace them with another while bypassing the Senates advise and consent role.

          You laser-like focus on just the facts without allowing personal opinion and loaded language to color your posts continues to be an inspiration.

                Well, well, well, now we know why the DNI, Maguire, was replaced by Trump toadie Grenell. Apparently National Intelligence briefed the House last week that the Russians were up to it again, interfering in the 2020 elections in order to aide Trump in his re-election bid. Gee, I wonder why the Russians are so intent on Trump remaining president? Any idea's, guys?

                  Yeah, sure they did...

                  The former official did not know what Pierson, who works for Maguire, said that set Trump off. The Post reported that the president "erroneously believed that she had given information exclusively to Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., the committee chairman, and that the information would be helpful to Democrats if it were released publicly, the people familiar with the matter said."

                  A committee official told the Post that wasn't true. The committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

                      Schiff is chairman of the House select committee on intelligence, so of course Schiff was informed. But of course Trump wouldn't want that news to become public, he would like noththing better than to keep the public in the dark about his connections to Putin and Russia and their continued efforts to keep him in power. Thus out with Maguire and in with the wannabe dictators political crony with no experience whatsoever in the intelligence field.

                        And how in your drug addled thinking is this supposed to keep the "news" (which you still haven't provided a source for) from getting out?

                          It apparently wasn't public news until Trump fired the DNI for briefing Congress, which btw is his responsibility, and replaced him with an unqualified toadie.

                            Still waiting for a source to support your claims.

                            And I really hope it's something better than another bit of "sources say" fake news.
