Rand opposed both Haspel and Pompeo in the Senate.

I take it that, since you're on a first name basis with 'Rand', that he's your hero and are one of those weird libertarians.

Here's why your boy opposed Haspel, and it had nothing to do with his inside knowledge that she was a derp.

Rand Paul opposes Haspel despite retracted report

(excerpt)

On Thursday, ProPublica retracted a report that Haspel oversaw a base in Thailand at which suspected terrorist Abu Zubaydah was subject to enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding, that many senators believe to be torture, and that she mocked the prisoner's treatment. Paul referenced the story in his news conference on Wednesday and said Haspel has been "gleeful" in her defense of torture techniques.

That vote was due to Paul being a vagina, nothing more.

Hahahaha.

Why would they give it to somebody who actually made peace (The Donald), when they can give it to themselves?

A food program? The UN? Really????

Derps make me sick.

UN World Food Program wins Nobel Peace Prize

(excerpt)

ROME (AP) — The United Nations’ World Food Program on Friday won the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and food insecurity in regions of conflict and hardship around the globe.

The Rome-based organization provided assistance to almost 100 million people in 88 countries around the world last year.

“With this year’s award, the (committee) wishes to turn the eyes of the world to the millions of people who suffer from or face the threat of hunger,” said Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, announcing the award in Oslo. “The World Food Program plays a key role in multilateral cooperation on making food security an instrument of peace.”

Deadline accidentally publishes story about Pence being diagnosed with COVID-19

The draft Deadline story, which also appeared to have been shared on the outlet’s Twitter page, included the headline, “PREP. DO NOT PUBLISH UNTIL THE NEWS CROSSES. Vice President Mike Pence Tests Positive for Coronavirus 8 Days After Donald Trump.”

post 4: Interesting that they used the word “until” rather than the word “unless”.

The dude’s got two first names: it’s impossible not to be on a first-name basis with him.
