The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:

the [ODNI] mission of coordination had crept to include analysis and many other tasks normally reserved for the likes of the CIA, DIA, and FBI. In essence, ODNI started competing to perform the same jobs as other agencies it was supposed to supervise.

Grenell saw a bureaucracy with much duplication and cost. He wasn’t alone. Multiple reviews of the agency’s structure over the last 24 months had flagged the need for reforming and shrinking ODNI, but no one pitched the shovel into the dirt to get change started. Grenell did.

With little fanfare, the acting DNI and ambassador to Germany has undertaken a major shakeup of ODNI, shrinking down its size and sending many employees back to spy agencies on the front lines. He’s trying to finish the job before President Trump’s nominee, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), is confirmed.

...

“ODNI was not intended to collect and analyze intelligence, its function was to coordinate these activities among intelligence agencies,” said a senior U.S. official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the reorganization.

“You don't need thousands of people to do that,” the official said. "ODNI absolutely needs to reassess how it is working with an eye towards shifting officers back to agencies like CIA and FBI."

(this is now the second time she's said this, not the first)


The cynical would say she's hoping not to have pay the money she owes him.

Honestly though, for those who thought about it (ewww) ... a germaphobe is gonna get nasty with a pr0n star? I mean maybe if he's triple sheathed, but Trump has women throwing themselves at him, and he'd choose her? <_<

The one rumor I heard which stuck with me (no verification of it, so it might just be smoke) which made sense was that she never slept with 45 but Don Jr (who was going through a divorce when this all first broke way back when). This story was always meh. Either Trump did it -- which would be on brand for the public's expectations of a famous playboy, or it was all a dirty political op. Neither would surprise or change one's opinion on the other side (either Trump or the Clinton machine).

 

Was it icky? Yup. But it was consensual.

Am I missing something or is this article from January 2018? 

 

No, it is. Hence the whole "second time" line. She apparently made another statement last night or this morning -- looking for the clip.

Maybe I'm missing the point - even if true - is this going to change the perception that Trump doesn't treat women with respect? 

 

I mean - the guy has cheated on every wife and has three children; all with different women.

 

We can go back to years of Trump on video - talking disrespectfully about women - just check out any one of Trumps appearance on Howard Stern.

 

I don't get it - are Biden's alleged past history with sexual assault suppose to disqualify him for the presidency?  And if so, how can you say that with a straight face given Trumps history?

The original story itself didn't change the perception of Trump and women -- which is why it was ineffective (speaking to it as a purely political weapon in this case). Everyone knew Trump's history, and voted for him anyway because it's irrelevant to many of them. I didn't vote for Trump, but this story didn't move me one way or the other. The only one that did was Katie Johnson -- until I looked under the hood of the story and learned it was fake. 

 

IF (and it's still an if) it were proven that Stormy lied about the entire affair, it changes nothing about the perceptions of Trump. That's not the point (hence the thread). The point would be what that says about the Clinton machine and the media's partnership. 

 

I know on this board you'd never admit this, but in private are you telling me if you were to learn 100% that Stormy never happened it would have no impact on your assessment of the information sources you've relied on in the past?

Joe's alleged past includes rape with far more sourcing/verification than any of the charges lobbed at Trump. Joe also has a long history of inappropriate touching/assault on camera that was so bad it was a joke within DNC circles (even Jon Stewart blasted him for it). 

 

One is not like the other.
