In the Virginia suburb of McLean, where the local diner is a C.I.A. breakfast hangout, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, who ran the agency for George W. Bush, is playing career counselor these days. With President-elect Donald J. Trump attacking the intelligence community, the general says his “old tribe’’ is feeling “a special angst.”

In free-spirited Takoma Park, Md., a “nuclear-free zone” since 1983, a left-wing resistance movement is taking shape. Nadine Bloch, an activist and artist, is running pre-inaugural training on nonviolent protest — complete with mock police officers wielding rolled up newspapers as batons.

Leslie Harris, a liberal Democratic lawyer, uses war imagery: “I feel like my city is about to be invaded.”

Is the Old Gray Whore going to write an angry bitter article on every anti-Trump loser in America?

[a left-wing resistance movement is taking shape]

They will never accept that their disastrous experiment has been rejected.

Obama will be urging them on from Communist Not News. And the other MSM propaganda tools.

Gen. Hayden, the Intelligence Community should not have picked sides and gone public with very thin evidence and in one case fake news.

Actually it’s quicksand for Taxpayer Dollars.

Nancy Pelosi said she would drain the swamp when she became Speaker.

How quickly we (they) forget.

Foggy Bottom is a swamp. It’s not offensive, it’s a fact!

"With President-elect Donald J. Trump attacking the intelligence community . . . "

The old switcheroo - this is the first time in my life that the Left has regarded the "intelligence community" as a sacred cow that is above criticism.
