Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      TFW when people quote Michael Hayden and say, "Former CIA/NSA Director" as if that negates all the lies he told in said role.

      Get off your high horse. The #1 issue the country faces is to get Trump out of office. A broad coalition is needed to do this.

      Excellent way to build a coalition, Smithers, by telling women to shut up for raising truth and hypocrisy issues.

      Good luck with your small, narrow coalition of true believers.

      Note what I requested: not that Hayden be excluded but that his tenure in the IC--which is part of what paved way for Trump--not be presented as in any way validating.

      I have followed you for a long time because I value your insights into our intelligence community. My only point is that I believe our democracy faces the biggest threat of my lifetime - our President. Ad hoc broad coalitions must form to defeat him.

      Our democracy does face the biggest threat of all time. But Trump is merely the symptom. Hayden is another symptom. If he wants to make right, fine, but don't mistake what the real issue is.

      Don’t leave me in suspense! How would you describe what Trump is a symptom of?

      A larger malaise and takeover of our political system.

      If we seek only to remove Trump and not fix the system, someone far more competent than him will come after. And part of the danger is that people like Hayden have made the Fed govt unaccountable.

          I say We need this (Trump) as a country. I say let them put Pence into power. Evolution is painful. How else will the people be so angry as to start calling the shots? Removing the financial component from our elections is the priority. Period.

          Yes, like another fake feminist Neoliberal emboldened by a MSM who lifted he/she onto a platform of Superiority while he/she goes @ the business of Economic Corporatism, Profitable Wars, & Enlarging the Class/Race Divisions within/without the US.
