Buffalo_Gal Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) The Senate Cloakroom twitter thread is spittin' out tweets as fast as someone can type. All sorts of people being confirmed today from ambassadors to judges to various secretaries and IGs. Either both sides simply want to get out of town and have had enough, or Mitch is fed-up and pushing things through. Did all the Ds leave town already?

Tiberius Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Oh boy Trump’s pick to lead U.S. intelligence claims he arrested 300 illegal immigrants in a single day. He didn’t. The claims of Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Tex.) about a 2008 operation conflict with the court record and the recollections of others who were involved — at a time when he is already under fire for embellishing his record.

Then, instead of taking in new information which challenges your world view, you lash out with insults and (quickly) change screen names. You figured him out. All part of the billsChan conspiracy. He is a chameleon sent here to track you. “When someone says something, believe it.” The fact that you think I am McGee fits with your conspiratorial worldview. "There can't be more than one person who would disagree with me!" Good stuff. Wait, now I'll log in as McGee and post some things.

I fully agree that it may not align. I just do not want to set a continued precedent that all you have to do is just slander/doxx the crap out of them and you can get anyone to back down. Mob rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was barely supported by Committee Republicans and the Dems were of course going to oppose him. So although I’m sure he’s thrilled not have to go through the process, he was also not clearly a favored pick. This was one of Trump’s shoot from the hip moves. Chaos is a ladder and all of that. The mob rule mentality of continuing to never work together is not building a better America, that’s for sure.

Deranged Rhino Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Just got off a call with some DC types... lots of names being floated for DNI. Here's what the little birds tell me: * Gordon likely pick for acting DNI, not permanent. (If she's not on board the disclosure train, this will slow the process down in August but be resolved by Sept/Oct) Popular names being floated in the DC ether (long odds on all these names but they're being considered apparently): * Trey Gowdy * MIKE ROGERS * Mark Meadows I would be surprised if any of those are picked -- but, uh, one at least is retired. Twitter seems to think it's gonna be Flynn (it won't be). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurmal34 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Praise the King, get a job. Is Deranged on the rings, parallel bars, or horse for his latest mental gymnastics?

The DNI does not lead the intelligence apparatus The position didn't even until after the Iraq invasion began (when the intel apparatus was in full CYA mode for the WMD cluster-*****).

Thurmal34 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Welp, since the DNI doesn’t lead national intelligence, we should accept the falsehoods on his resume. Since Deranged admitted he’s not qualified for DNI, maybe he might be qualified for local Sherriff? go USA BABY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
