“I note your lack of decorum and suggest that you might be more comfortable over at DU where every post has such language. Folks need something to show they are really manly, I guess.”

Boy, next thing you know I’ll be called a vulgarian. That would really keep me up nights.

You poor thing. How do you live with someone rabidly anti-Trump? I would lose my mind if my husband was not like-minded. I guess I would have to beat him to death with my conservatism. I know a couple, the wife is teacher union tied and the husband sells life insurance and he is so unhappy and beat down with her meanness and liberalism he seeks therapy and is medicated.

Fifth columnists have had their playground time for eight years. They have become complacent. It will cost them dearly now. God please let it be so.

Fifth Column: Of course Hussein was setting up traitors in positions of power.

Trump's guys will find and out every one of his Muslim scumbags.

“The MSM is still lying. (They all repeated today’s talking points.) NONE of them mentioned the very warm reception Trump received at the CIA.”

I’m not so sure they are lying. They may just be too dumb to grasp more then one thing at a time. They may just be so shallow they don’t understand. Their “specialized education” may not have given them reasoning skills

Pretty impressive isn’t it? Head on. There have got to be some people messing their drawers. There also have to be some plotting revenge or resistance.

Ready for night of the long knives?

When I grew up, cursing around women was strictly verboten. Everything seemed to change in the seventies. I moved to Canada in the early part of that decade and moved back in 1980. What a shock. Young women were cursing like sailors without giving it a second thought. At one point, I walked up to a sweet young employee at the coffee-break table and said it was a shame for such a pretty girl to have such a filthy mouth. She looked at me, mouth agape, thinking, I’m sure, what an a-hole I was. I walked away.

I’m of the opinion that a “column” has been cultivating and flourishing since we as a republic became so rich....it’s roots are old and deep. I consider it to be in many forms...McNamara turning the Viet Nam war into a profitable venture with a drafted Army that was just another statistic in deaths while the “MEDIA” showed body counts of the enemy and how we were winning that police action. As a child in elementary school I would see the news showing footage which led to the protests and woman’s movement and free love , all which has created divisions among those who fell for the claptrap. Purge these thieving and subversive males / females / contractors and prosecute and strip them of any ill gotten gains. It will be a painful and arduous process but you need to start somewhere ...Why did Bush Sr. start preaching a New World Order? Why did Clinton declassify what were top secret missile secrets and allow the Chinese to obtain such information? Why did Bush Jr. create Homeland security with totally unconstitutional rights to act against the citizenry?
The list is endless but when you erode a foundation a bit at a time it eventually crumbles...Greed/Fame/and whatever else you want to put here is simply a human trait that rears its ugly head far to often within government. Power corrupts , absolute power corrupts absolutely. Some people miss the beauty around us and feel anything can be purchased....empty dangerous souls all.

Oddly, I was thinking the same thing Friday about Chuck Todd and some others who chattered on during the inauguration. However, they aren’t all stupid.

I think Chuck Todd uses his snark to hide the fact he is shallow.

Hi Silverleaf. Sedition might explain what was puzzling me: why did Trump make CIA his first destination to visit? Clearly, the man he was at the start of the campaign is changed. You could see the gravity in his face as he became aware slowly of the magnitude of evil which exists in politics (vs. his business world.) He became more wary, more angry as time went on. I assumed the patriotic agents were sending good intelligence to him all along, e.g., exactly what is wrong with Hillary’s health and her prognosis.

Savage isnt quite right, though I guess Im being pedantic here.

The phrase is from a propaganda broadcast by General Mola, one of General Franco’s Nationalist allies in 1936. I

According to Mola there were four columns marching on Madrid, the capital and leftist-Republican stronghold,, and a fifth column already secretly in the city ready to rise when they got there.

True. And I cuss like a drunken sailor on leave, especially when I'm PO'ed. But it is not welcome by all, and it is not desirable in Jim's house. And, FR is Jim's house. A quick fix of the offensive word(s) in the initial post would be sufficient. We all know what was said.

The problem with the intel hierarchy is that patriotic agents can't easily reach the president, if at all because if the very tedious and now very political process of " coordination" ... If a bureacrat levels above or at another agency disagrees with an assessment or even a word the entire report can get scrubbed or buried.
The politicization and then worse- support for subversion- at he CIA and DNI were more then petty swipes at Trump
The security of America is at stake now. The very ability of the POTUS and his national security team to have confidence in the intelligence on which they must make decisions- has been undermined
I would not doubt if he is now dependent on assistance from non-US agencies and private contractors for reporting and analysis - and that is just potentially devastating to our country
Building a new room means leveling the place and starting again from the foundation up
Names I trusted and respected for many years have now been exposed as fools partisans or worse but that doesn't mean they are neutralized
Light makes cockroaches run but they still hide in dark holes and cracks

Wow, any ordinary building would not need that number of columns, even in high seismic risk areas like San Francisco. That large number of closely spaced columns is there for other reasons...bomb-proofing? Stopping shooters? Preventing electronic eavesdropping? Disguising active counter-measures? What else?
