Former CIA Director Michael Hayden Compares Trump Supporters to the Taliban
American Greatness ^ | 23 Aug, 2021 | Eric Lendrum

Posted on 08/23/2021 4:31:45 PM PDT by MtnClimber

On Thursday, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Michael Hayden retweeted an image that explicitly compared supporters of President Donald Trump to the Taliban, as reported by Fox News.

Hayden, a retired four-star general with the Air Force, who served as CIA Director from 2006 to 2009, retweeted another account which first posted the image: The tweet in question depicted a split-screen image with Islamic terrorists riding in a convoy of pickup trucks and waving their flags, alongside a caravan of Trump supporters in pickup trucks waving American flags. The caption read: “Their Taliban. Our Taliban.”

The comparison comes less than a week after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul, effectively toppling the Western-backed government and reclaiming power. The speed with which they retook Afghanistan, as well as the subsequent chaos that has ensued in the days since, has led to universal condemnation of the Biden Administration’s poor handling of the withdrawal of American forces from the war-torn country. Thousands of American citizens remain trapped in the country after the Taliban announced that they had completely taken over the Hamid Karzai International Airport.

I compare former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Michael Hayden to Pee-Wee Herman and Pee-Wee wins by a long shot.

True. But we have the blueprint on how to do this. The Nazis and Communists have shown our Left the way to bring this about.

The mandatory vaccine may be the first step to see how compliant everyone is.

There can never be peace with these leftists. They demand total control and declare war and execute warfare daily against their enemies to get it.

The FBI infiltrates us. Do we infiltrate them and the other ABCs?

I think most of us saw the movie 300. The Spartan Government was bribed and corrupt.

We have prominent leaders openly talking about killing us.

Gee if Trump supporters are the Taliban, why isn't Biden giving TRUMP SUPPORTERS all that fancy military equipment, including drones and helicopters?

*crickets*

Didn’t this self important, over rated, violence promoting, mishandling of people that could be considered intimidation of threat, with the effort to try to chase people off topic from the Afghanistan screwup by using Trump?

“Ex-CIA chief General Michael Hayden quipped that it would be a “good idea” to send unvaccinated Trump supporters to Afghanistan.”

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/michael-hayden-cia-twitter-unvaccinated-b1907352.html

How did this self important fool ever get to the head of any US intelligence agency when he lacks any? If this guy is so good, then why isn’t he in the command center making suggestions on how to handle the situation other than this drivel? He must have been someone’s aid for a number of years to get where he was. And now he wants to supply this type of worthless endangering manure that could get civilians into grief with attacks upon them. Didn’t learn anything about security, sir? You were AF. All cdc’s had opsec and comsec chapters in them. Maybe you should have read them. You may have put people in danger. Nice move.

Perhaps we should arrange a trip to Kabul for him just to be sure.

76 years old, Hayden suffers from Aphasia. Bottom line? The mans brain is, like Bidens, sick. Hayden voted for Biden too so his remarks about Trump supporters should be taken with a grain of salt.

Aphasia

Specialty Neurology, Psychiatry
Treatment Speech therapy
Aphasia is an inability to comprehend or formulate language because of damage to specific brain regions.[2] The major causes are a cerebral vascular accident (stroke) or head trauma. Aphasia can also be the result of brain tumors, brain infections, or neurodegenerative diseases, but the latter are far less prevalent.[3]

To be diagnosed with aphasia, a person’s speech or language must be significantly impaired in one (or more) of the four

aspects of communication following acquired brain injury. Alternately, in the case of progressive aphasia, it must have significantly declined over a short period of time. The four aspects of communication are auditory comprehension, verbal expression, reading and writing, and functional communication.

The difficulties of people with aphasia can range from occasional trouble finding words, to losing the ability to speak, read, or write;

He tweeted the other day that Trump was an ahole. Last year he called Kevin McCarthy and Rick Grennell aholes. I don’t think he understands just how much of a limited vocabulary, limited intelligence ahole that makes him look and sound like. He also got a lot of morons responding to praise him.

Their information would have to be kept secret so they could not be bribed/blackmailed.

The OIG is the closest we have to anything like you described. Do you Remember what 44 did to Gerald Walpin.
