The Senate on Thursday confirmed Gina Haspel as CIA director, making her the first woman to lead the spy agency despite the controversy surrounding her role in the waterboarding program.

Hillary in better times. She had no idea what was coming.

The tables have turned significantly.

[EdnaMode]

They certainly have. So glad she isn’t the President. :D

[GOPJ]

If her ideology aligns with John Brennan then she is likely to stab Trump in the back...

THAT'S what we should have questioned her about - not about 3 terrorists being tortured twenty years ago...

Great News!
Winning!

[dragnet2]

It is good news. And I’m confident giving her a unique place in history, being the first woman as Director of the CIA, will garner significant loyalty and hard work. Time will tell.

I agree. However, is there a safe pick for CIA director inside the CIA itself? Pompeo, who came from congress, also seemed to be deep-state-brainwashed to some extent. Bill Binney would be good, but would the RINOs confirm him? I doubt it, he would expect too much integrity. Too much sleaze and/or gullibility WRT the “intelligence” community in DC.

sorry for the misunderstanding. by cleaning house i meant sweeping up the senate.

If Trumps brand and backing is truly effective we can both move the senate to the right and pick up a few seats at the same time, hopefully giving us at least a 55-45 majority making it much easier to MAGA.

#4. re “It’s Not Waterboarding If You Use Diesel” (oil)

If diesel oil doesn’t work, try Vin Diesel.

I was more in mind of the Dumb Old Party generally, which is going senile. But if it works for McCain, it works.

[Eleutheria5]

But my legacy! I want to be remembered as a petulant two-year-old, saying “no” to everything.

[SMGFan]

How does a proHaspel vote help these Democrats?

[SMGFan]

Why would these Democrats be helped in their reelection by voting for Haspel? Because I am certain this why they voted in favor?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

John Brennan, Hussein’s CIA Director, voted for a communist in his youth.

[GOPJ]

I believe there’s a good chance Gina Haspel is capable of resisting the toxic group-think that’s taken over Washington... at least that’s my prayer. It’s not her fault Brennan said nice things about her...

[reasonisfaith]

No kidding.

My point was I don’t think we should continue the left’s degradation of our political structure.

[miserare]

Yay, Gina...GO! Clean out that Deep State rat’s nest! Waterboard the Hildabeast, and her little rugmuncher, Huma!

[miserare]

Get rid of these two Bozos! They add nothing to the USA!

[miserare]

Now we know who the Deep State operatives are! Ditch them!!!

[miserare]

Pennsylvania. get that freak Bobby Casey out of there. Support Lou Barletta, a red-blooded American, who has not coasted into his position on his Daddy’s name!

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I hope Haspel does not turn out to be Brennan 2.
