Ratcliffe, Trump's DNI nominee, follows QAnon Twitter. That's disqualifying

Image: Senate Intelligence Committee Holds Nomination Hearing For John L. Ratcliffe To Be Director Of National IntelligenceRep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, testifies before a Senate Intelligence Committee nomination hearing on Capitol Hill on May 5, 2020.Andrew Harnik / Pool via Getty Images May 5, 2020, 8:25 PM CDT By Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence and NBC News/MSNBC analyst Since U.S. intelligence agencies exist to seek actionable information that is as close to the truth as possible, it follows that the person who heads our intelligence community should be a scrupulously honest seeker of apolitical facts. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next director of national intelligence, isn’t that guy. The Senate will take up Ratcliffe’s nomination this week, with him testifying before the intelligence committee on Tuesday.

While many questions about Ratcliffe’s credentials already exist — he was previously nominated only to withdraw over questions about his bio — of serious ongoing concern is his social media history. Recent reporting by Spencer Ackerman and Will Sommer at The Daily Beast ties Ratcliffe, at least tangentially, to dangerous conspiracy theories on Twitter.

I don’t pay attention to propaganda. Again, discernment matters.

Of course you do. You are paying attention to this derp state propaganda article right now.

You've been paying attention to the derp state propaganda regarding Qanon this whole time.

The fact that you even use the term 'conspiracy theory' (I assume you do) is you paying attention to CIA propaganda.

Your poor little head is FULL of derp state propaganda. Qanon is obviously real and yet you don't believe it. That's some pretty powerful indoctrination achieved through propaganda.

You're so lost in the matrix you don't even know what you don't know. You think you're awake as you snore loudly.

“You should know how fruitless it is to try to reason with the middle school educated bubbas such as these.”

I am, but find some amusement in how easily triggered they are.

“You blame boomers?“

Boomers commandeered the Q larp. I was there and saw it happen. You really need to educate yourself on the history of your movement.

...no one in real authority will even admit exists

And yet the nominee for Director of National Intelligence follows it.

...drive every educated person off his site.

Are you claiming to be an educated person?

Your writing gives the lie to that theory.

Now if you were DNI, wouldn’t you want to pay attention to the global movement?

I watched on the weekend. I’m not fundraising for anyone.

You mean you don't get paid for pimping that bogus site?

Dumbest derp ever.

Well that is true.

Say one thing and they go off. Tells you how insecure they re about the legitimacy of their hobby.

Talk about confirmation bias.

I get a kick out of clearly uneducated buffoons calling others uneducated.

Talk about projection.

Ah, ha. So you're another one of those 'deep inside the internet' nerds.

How's the nerd war going, nerd.

And here I thought you were a serious person.

Tell us more about how you were in the room when the LARP was created. Those stories always crack me up.

Are you characterizing opponents to the mainstream media as propaganda?

You’ve go it backwards.

The mainstream media is propaganda. You’re fairly safe in believing, on a general level, the opposite of what they tell you.

Post one article with the letter Q, Durham, Barr, ongoing investigations, or pending indictments and watch you normies heads explode. Talk about being triggered.

I wouldn't call slapping fools being triggered.

Stop projecting.

“ The mainstream media is propaganda.”

Yes, this is what I was saying, apologizes for being unclear.

And you are correct, the MSM can often be used as a contra indicator. I don’t look to them when I can just consider them irrelevant in my decision making process. I refuse to give them any influence either way.

Along with my post #106, it would appear that Chuck Barry is the entertainment.
