Pompeo's nomination to lead the CIA also opens the prospect of the U.S. resuming torture of detainees. Trump has backed harsh interrogation techniques that President Barack Obama and Congress have banned, saying the U.S. "should go tougher than waterboarding," which simulates drowning. In 2014, Pompeo criticized Obama for "ending our interrogation program" and said intelligence officials "are not torturers, they are patriots."

Vague policy proposals my a*s. He’s been very specific on his policy proposals.

And they had to get the obligatory slam with the last sentence. AP (spit).

Islam as a “political ideology”

Yes, it is.

Jeff Sessions is my kind of guy. He has stood for truth and justice when others cowardly chose to stay in the background. We need more like him in all facets of government.

This from the same people who never said Obama was shifting to the left. The AP is a bunch of liars and propagandists.

When your liberal friends complain about Donald Trump’s cabinet appointments, and talk about how the Democrats will fight them every step of the way, remind them that Harry Reid has ensured their confirmation. It was Reid who changed the senate rules, implementing the “nuclear option” making it impossible for the minority party to stop the President’s cabinet and judicial nominees from being confirmed.

Mygosh, a pol who keeps campaign promises! President Elect Trump said his first international priority is to defeat ISIS. He’s putting together the team that can get the job done.

He’s not moving to the right - he’s proving that he has been to the right of all those we had hoped were moving to the right....he’s been consistent in all the relevant areas and it still hasn’t sunk in for some.

Great appointments! This is going to be a top-notch administration. We can finally start to rollback years of liberal abuse in governing.

Rather than appointing a Sec. of Education, how about if we just abolish the department, and give it back to the states? Just a thought.

So much winning!

It's really hard to process, we've been in the wilderness for so long.

Drive by liars at it again. Trump didn’t “shift” anywhere. He continues to go as he has for a year.

The AP and especially Julie Pace are/were hacks for Hillary and the DNC. Their stain is all over WikiLeaks emails with Podesta.

I’m confused. The media slammed President Trump as far-right, alt-right, and extreme-right for a year. How could President Trump be shifting to the right from where he already was?

All the Conservative never Trumpers are trying to make sense of this. To hear people like Bill Kristol on msDNC trying to tell us what Trump will do next is hilarious. They are clueless

President Trump didn’t shift to the right at all, he was ALWAYS to the right, and AP and the enemedia have always known that; it’s why the alt-left is rioting in the streets. President Trump is simply preparing to do the things he said he was going to do all along, but the enemedia meme can’t simply be “President Trump Is Keeping His Promises”. Oh, no; it’s “President Trump shifting to the right”.

Remember all the posts here in FR accusing Trump of being a closet Liberal?

They were all wrong.
