“Newt has occasional valuable opinions.”
Yes, he does, then he goes and says silly stuff and blows it.
There are no circumstances where the CIA and rest of the “intelligence community” can continue to exist if they have a “bad relationship” with the President of the United States.
America would be better off with NO “double ought secret agents” than with a CIA that thinks it can do in the USA what it did in places like Chile, El Salvador, and Iran.
Treason is not in the mandate of the CIA.
You bring up some good points. Newt didn't have the internet to support him like Trump does today. I think that's one of the reasons why Newt folded.
Anyway I'm not sure why people are criticizing Newt's comment about Trump not having a good relationship with politicized intel agencies. Newt's right on target about this. Trump shouldn't...and he doesn't...
Don’t know about others, but just can’t wait to begin opening the gifts we find under the tree. This is certainly an unusual beginning to a memorable week.
This winning is a new experience for all of us.
I'll be floating on air all week. I am sure we all will.;-)
It's been a long and stressful year and a half.
A balanced budget does not add to the national debt. That’s what is known as a balanced budget: Payments do not exceed income.
I hope that wasn’t too hard to understand.
“I may get a bottle of inexpensive champagne “
We did the same for the morning of. Since we’re Mountain Time Zone, 2 hour behind, we decided brunch with champagne works. We’ll do an American grill of Kobe-style (American made) hamburgers later in the day with Scotch and cigars. We’re turning all day Friday into a holiday. No work at all.
Oops. So right. There is no is there.
Sounds great!
A balanced budget can also have the debt go up.
You have set your budget and you are making your payments, the interest rate goes up on your mortgage and your “debt” increases even though your budget is balanced.
Hope that wasn’t too hard to understand.
“A balanced budget can also have the debt go up.”
Theoretically, yes, but the US pays the interest as we go. The national debt did not go up because of any interest payments. It went up because of spending.
Ya gotta know something about the US budget process before you make a false assertion like you did.
Newt is pro-Newt, and nothing else. He is pro- whatever will make him money, gather fame, or gain influence. He demonstrated how well he works when under pressure during the 90’s, when he caved in to pressure over a book deal. He’s a self-serving coward, and nothing else.
We need to literally dismantlement the CIA, FBI, DEA, et al, and regroup and reform them. These agencies and their political puppets at the top are simply out of control.
apply the same theory!
President Trump must purge the entire federal government, especially the intelligence agencies, of the hundreds of Marxist-inspired, anti-American leftists appointed by the outgoing, communist, muslim, race-baiting, fraudulent Democrat President.
