Let me go back and reply to you in general, Pat and everyone else.
Pat has helped us quite a bit by posting the Youtube videos of the various Sunday shows we follow. It is a great help and I reminded those who complained to me.
To all:
Honestly, what I like more than listening to the media party’s drivel is your great FReeper feedback and comments on their utterings!
Take that, Mr. Toad, er Todd! LOL!
In Extraordinary Filing, Former Nat Sec Officials Urge SCOTUS To End Travel Ban
A coalition of former senior national security officials filed an extraordinary amicus (or friend-of-the-court) brief at the U.S. Supreme Court, urging the justices to strike down the presidents latest travel sanctions.
Throughout the brief, the officials appear to convey inside information that has not been disclosed through official government channels, while implying their policy views should be treated at parity with those of the Trump administration, like the shadow governments of parliamentary systems.
The 52 signatories to the brief served in various diplomatic and national security capacities under presidencies of both parties. Their filing notes held sensitive intelligence and foreign affairs posts when the first and second iterations of the travel ban were issued in early 2017, an unsubtle signal that their views are informed by contemporary intelligence and worthy of deference, the current administrations conclusions notwithstanding.
Signatories to the brief who fall into this category include John Brennan, former director of the CIA, and James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence. Both men have been intensely critical of President Donald Trump and resigned their posts effective the day he took office.
Check out the link to the brief and read it. The tenor of the brief is unbelievable. It displays an arrogance and hubris that defies description. And check out the appendix with the names of the 52 people who signed it. This is Deep State at its obscene worst. It made my blood boil reading it. Warning: Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, and other medical conditions worsened by stress, should avoid reading it or taking it in small bites.
I am confused.
Did I do something wrong?
I did NOT do the Youtube post last week and hey, if it offends anyone that I even do it at all, with a smile on my face I’ll not do another one.
Maybe I’ll stop posting completely. Long as everyone else keeps posting and commenting, I’d be fine with that.
