I have a masters degree. I ran CIA and NSA. Trump wants a patriotic commission, 1776 Commission. What does he know about that?

Gen Michael Hayden @GenMhayden I have a masters degree. I ran CIA and NSA.

No wonder those institutions are so ineffective and corrupt when they have self-important pinheads like this in charge of them.

Oh yeah? The Professor has a B.A. from USC, a B.S. from UCLA, an M.A. from SMU, and a Ph.D from TCU.

Trump wants a patriotic commission, 1776 Commission. What does he know about that? Absolutely nothing. And he’s not interested in facts.

Trump knows at least on thing about that...One important thing...He knows you have to love America to hold that position and he knows YOU don't qualify...

“They said there were weapons of mass destruction and there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction,” - Donald Trump, South Carolina primary debate

“George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East,” - Donald Trump, South Caroline debate

Someone should ask him about his tenure at NSA and CIA, and the things that we now know were happening right under his nose. Like Dianne Feinstein's Chinese "driver", for instance.

Nice job there, General.

John W. Gardner > Quotes > Quotable Quote “An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.” ― John W. Gardner, Excellence

No the slimes didn't want to admit it.

I know people that were there. They found stockpiles of mustard gas and phosgene artillery shells and bombs. They were destroyed in burn pits. Vets are still being treated for the effects from being exposed.

What? That’s exactly upside down. The Times “reported” from the beginning that Iraq had WMDs. Cheney cites their “reporting” when he went on tv to argue for invading Iraq. And then , even after Bush and Cheney announced we found no WMDs , The NY Times came out with stories claiming we had. NY Times is a lying tool of the deep state that helped lie us into the Iraq War, with WND lies

And these Days they lie about Trump and Russia

One reason they hate Trump is because he denounced Bush’s invasion of Iraq

Trump also confirms there were no WMDs- causing the deep state to despise him for calling out their fraud

I had the good fortune of having Gordon Stewart as a history teacher in HS. He was in both the OSS and CIA in the early days. Retired as their IG. Other than some amazing anecdotes during his course on the Cold War, never really mentioned it.

A very classy man.

That photo is real !“

Yes it’s a real photo, everybody can see that. What it’s a photo of, who took it, where it was taken, when it was taken, what’s in all those vehicles, who’s driving them — those are questions neither you or I can answer except - in your case - by putting blind faith in someone who is telling you what to think and believe. We got a lot of disinformation about Saddam and his “threats” before the invasion. A lot of it came from the same “intelligence sources” and New York Times reporters who now tell us to believe them about Russia Russia Russia

Anyway, I trust Trump way more than I trust you. Because he’s actually in a position to have the real lowdown. And he says there were no WMDs.

But since you know more than he does, I urge you to contact him and set him straight. Let him know that he’s wrong and the New York Times and CIA were right

Thank you. Excellent point by Mr. Gardner. I humbly submit Ben Franklin’s observation, somewhat in the same vein ‘’Don’t we know the worth of water when the well runs dry’’. When the water stops society clamors for it to be flowing again, clean and pure. I never heard anyone clamoring for more philosophy.

I would encourage any young person today that unless they
intend to get a medical degree or become a lawyer or a degree in an applied science learn plumbing. Aside from it’s humble nobility and life sustaining usefulness plumbers make damn good money.
