Ex-CIA director's advice: Do not serve this president
yahoo ^ | May 4, 2018 | Dylan Stableford

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden has some advice for colleagues who ask whether they should take a job working for President Trump: Don’t do it. You will only endanger your own future and reputation.

Hayden said it’s been hard to watch top Trump administration officials defend an often indefensible president.

“The longer they were in the administration, the more their personal credentials were being threatened,” Hayden said. “At what point do you stop being a guard rail and become an enabler and a legitimizer?”

Hayden's new book, “The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies,” serves as a searing indictment of a president who Hayden depicts as a congenital liar and a “useful idiot” of Vladimir Putin.

“The difference here is, this seems to be a president who bases a fair number of decisions on something other than a view of objective reality,” he said.

Hayden clicks off multiple examples of Trump’s falsehoods, from his insistence that President Obama had him wiretapped at Trump Tower to the president’s claim — belied by all the scientific evidence — that global warming is a hoax.

“Remember your own moral thresholds,” Hayden said, adding: “You may want to keep a draft letter [of resignation} in your desk drawer.”

The CIA needs to be shredded. Turn their function over to the military. Most of what they do can be done by others.

Yes, conservatives don’t serve Trump. Join the side that is persecuting conservatives.

Seems perfectly logical.

Hayden has an eminently punchable mug.

Contemptuous words, I would say. Would be nice to see this retired 4 star charged under Article 88 of UCMJ. If he’s drawing retired pay, he’s still subject to the UCMJ.

His name must be on one of those sealed indictments?

Well, rather than hiring focus groups to tell him how to talk to Americans, Trump knows how to speak to citizens. Rather than learning the pity party words to use in speeches so 'he feels their pain' about jobs... Trump goes out and helps businesses create jobs.

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden might be right about sexual trysts with liberal sluts... Trump has a taste for cheap liberal women, porn stars and sluts. And Hayden and his bedroom peeping squads would know. Intelligence wasn't able to protect us from 9/11, they were too stupid and PC to stop the Boston Bombing - but they damn sure can peep in people's bedrooms and see if they'll lie about sex with whores.

Eff off Hayden.

Oh, and it's about damn time we found out if our 'intelligence' ghouls were more concerned about traditional American citizens than about liberal violent groups or middle east terrorists.

Hayden’s exposure of himself for what he is and always was says a lot about W, too.

Time to enforce the insurrection act by using the calling forth act.

These are combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings.

This is what the militia of the several states are for. There is sound legal and historical precedent for what must be done.

Oh, and it's about damn time we found out if our 'intelligence' ghouls were more concerned about traditional conservative American citizens than about liberal violent groups or middle east terrorists. Let's see some statistics on who and what was investigated... and for how long... These 'intelligence' jerks 'missed' Hillary destroying evidence but they might catch a republican jay walking? Disgusting.

We are startlingly close to civil war...it seems the Deep State totalitarians are going to force it.
