Pulling Their Clearances Is Only the Start – It’s Time to Stamp out Elite Privilege

You know why you got Trump? Because Donald Trump, with all his quirks, is exponentially more competent, capable, and trustworthy when it comes to running this country for the benefit of Normal Americans than the sorry collection of Ivy League-credentialed dimwits, progressive poohbahs, and Fredocon enablers that masquerades as America’s elite.

Bravo!

Why was Samantha Powers left off?

[Redleg Duke]

I don’t give a rodent’s rectum if he is “likeable”...

He is a dishonest, corrupted and seditionous bastard, and if his parents were married when he was conceived, then he is a “self-made man”!

[Cowboy Bob]

But if you are trying to build opposition to Trump in the court of public opinion, it helps to be likable. He is like Hillary. The more people see him, the more they don't like him. No sympathy.

Fusion GPS, Hillary’s campaign, the DNC, CIA’s Brennan, and Obama officials—were all focused on destroying Donald Trump.
The FBI got involved using very suspect methodologies. One crucial question is how early this all happened?.........

ITEM——Hillary Clinton ran in the 2008 and 2016 democratic primaries——and in the 2016 general election.

ITEM——S/C Mueller “uncovered” that the “Russian collusion scheme” apparently “materialized sometime in 2014.

Now, here’s the $64,000 question not addressed....Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

Were Obama’s PDB’s falsified? Probably-—Brennan knew the Halfrican was too stupid to catch on.

Brennan got outed as calculatedly working the phony “pee dossier” into Obama’s PDB.

Dates are important b/c Snowden’s’ revelations indicate government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.

The Obama police state had a lot of help-—our govt mastered the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.

This we know:

<><> (A) traffic travels through FBI computers, and,

<><> (B) the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.

Again. Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

[Liz]

Let’s look at our elite’s track record of (cough) success:

<><> We’re still chasing bandits in Afghanistan after nearly 17 years (thanks to the war-profiteering neocons),

<><> our best and brightest FBI are texting each other like hormonal teens while they try to undo the Trump election,

<><> our L/E can’t be bothered with following up on warnings about psychotic freaks who get online and publicly announce their plan to shoot up schools.

Thanks many bunches!

What a great article.

He’s totally correct about security clearances - and everything else.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The fact that the Washingon Elite NEVER sees prison time for their high-crimes and misdemeanors....while John Q. Public gets locked-up for mistakes on a 1040 or some esoteric process crime...is a literal TICKING TIME BOMB.

[Gritty]

Washington DC is a d!psh!t place run by d!psh!ts.

It's not just a swamp. It's a cesspool.

[GOPJ]

...John Brennan, that hack, and his elite pals are supposed to get the special privilege of keeping it {Security Clearance}. Why?

Brennan and other 'elite' former employees of the Intelligence Bureaucracy get to sell access to information taxpayers spend billions collecting ... on the cheap to CNN and MSNCB and the New York Times and Washington Post.

If we're going to sell to 'the MSM' then taxpayers should get the profit... not former employees.

If a former employee of Coke a Cola tries to SELL the secret formula to 'coke' they would be arrested. Same with former employees of any company... selling insider information of former employers is a crime - - NOT A PERK.

It's not just Brennan's crappy personality - it's all of them - selling access in exchange for cash and favors. Bunch of corrupt traitors.

If they want to see themselves WITHOUT INSIDER INFORMATION - FINE. BUT EVEN CNN WON'T PAY FOR THAT FOR LONG.

David Blackmon: Kurt Schlichter, . . . has become the most provocative and frankly most enjoyable conservative opinion writer working today. . . .

I second the nomination!

[Armando Guerra]

I normally would not be in favor of taxes, but I am hereby advocating for a new tax: a Capitol Gains Tax. A government official's income prior to starting public service serves as their Capitol Base. For a period of 15 years after leaving public service any increase above the base plus inflation is treated as a Capitol Gain and taxed at 85%. Enough with getting rich from "public service."

John Brennan. Reminds me of Big Jim from Under the Dome. “I just love Chester’s Mills so much!”
