You mixed up the words “virtual” and “literal”; I believe.

*** Trump put an unqualified homosexual in charge of national intelligence. Dumbest move. ***

Yeah, Grenell has been quite vocal on homosexual rights, overstepping (IMHO) his position in Germany.

Trump pissed off his supporters in the intelligence communities by passing them up for promotion in favor of this unqualified homosexual.

We’re pretty much giving up on Trump ever restoring the rule of law at this point.

I’m not remotely close to giving up on Trump restoring the rule of law.

Also: not tired of winning yet.

This is good news. Finally, I wish the President had used this approach with Comey’s replacement. Use good people as an interim appointment we would not have ended up with that rat mole Wray. Trump was still learning and if God willing he gets the second term we are going to see something.

Former CIA Director John Brennan is calling President Trump’s shakeup in the intelligence community a “virtual decapitation.

Why the eff are we even HEARING from John "Scowly McScowalface" Brennan any more???!? Why is he not rotting in a prison cell???!?

The guy isn't going to be there that long. The first guy to hold the position John Negroponte didn't have a whole lot of intel experience either. His credentials look a lot better, but he was mostly on the receiving side of intel for being an ambassador to multiple countries and the UN.

I think what the appointment does, is give Trump the opportunity to find out who are the team players and back stabbers at the agency.

Interesting:

Trump’s personal assistant fired over unspecified security issue

MarketWatch ^ | Mar 13, 2018 | MICHAEL C.BENDER
President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials said. The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue, said a third White House official with knowledge of the situation. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declined to comment saying, “We don’t comment on personnel issues.” McEntee didn’t return a call seeking comment. McEntee was one of the longest-serving aides to Trump, dating back to the earliest days of the campaign...

Kashyap Patel was a national security aide for the House Intelligence Committee, under Congressman Nunes (R, CA.) during the first years of the Trump administration. He was the key author of a controversial memo which was central to the Republican narrative that FBI and DOJ officials inappropriately obtained FISA warrants for several of Trump campaign staffers, including Carter Page .

Trump needs to start doing a little profiling and background work. Get someone in OPM that he can trust to run these guys through the wringer. There are plenty of good guys in government, go find them.

Trump has to run his picks by McConnell and in this case by the SCSI. So he has to find somebody already approved by the Senate to fill the position.

“Trump put an unqualified homosexual in charge of national intelligence. Dumbest move.”

Who cares what his qualifications are? You don’t need a PHD to fire people.

No doubt, the ones calling him “unqualified” are the same anti-Trump bureaucrats he’s about to fire.

And yes, he can be as queer as a three dollar bill for all I care, as long as he fires the deep state.

So, while you think he’s there to fire people, and you have absolutely no proof that he is, he will make even more of a mess of our national security.

“.. he will make even more of a mess of our national security.”

I have no proof of anything, and neither do you.

But if the deep state types are calling him “unqualified”, that’s a very good sign - it means they don’t like him. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

And I don’t care if he’s gay, as long as he stays in his lane.
