The only question is which Democrats up in November voted no. Republicans who voted no will be dealt with.

54-45. This is life as we know it for the foreseeable future: Democrats casting “no” votes on appointments for no reason at all beyond sheer cussedness.

Good. It’s now time to go full Community Organizer.

The Trump administration should launch an aggressive counter-intelligence investigation against all their political opponents including Liz Warren, Cory Booker, Joe Biden and any other democrat considering a presidential run in 2020.

I’m betting that a few Dems were instructed to vote for her....since Comey approved of our interrogation techniques...including water boarding. Not confirming her could have resulted in a huge backlash.

Winning!

I hope Trump has a very loyal CIA director in place now who can start leaking all the crimes committed by Obama and Hillary.

I guess Gina Haspel won’t be invited to McCain’s Last Maverick Rebellion Party, either.

When was the last time you saw a president fight tooth and nail for their nominations? He refused her offer to withdraw and convinced her she was important and he wanted her to head the CIA.

Here's what I would like her to do now.

"Remember what I said about waterboarding?"

Waterboarding is unnecessarily cruel. A simple sprinkling of saline solution on the genitals works just as well.

Well, that and the cattle prod...
