Some people turn out to be garbage people. It is particularly disturbing to find the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the first Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence under former President George W. Bush is such a person.
Retired General Michael Hayden has shown himself as a hyper-partisan against Republicans, particularly MAGA Republicans. His hatred for Donald Trump has turned his social media presence into one nasty tweet after another.
With that in mind, perhaps I shouldn’t be so surprised at the depraved level of contempt Hayden displays toward Republicans with whom he disagrees. In this case, it is Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). On Monday, a person on X (formerly Twitter) asked if Tuberville should be removed from his committee assignments for his hold on military promotions due to his opposition to the Department of Defense’s new rule that women seeking abortions receive paid time off and are reimbursed for expenses if they travel out-of-state. Tuberville believes this new rule is a violation of the Hyde Amendment and placed a hold on military promotions and other actions until the Senate votes on the rule. Senate Majority Leader Schumer refuses to call the vote so the hold is still in place. Schumer doesn’t call the vote because he knows Tuberville will win.
Here is what happened Monday night.
How about the human race? https://t.co/UCGCfF1lA3

Sounds like a former government official and retired military member is inciting violence, doesn’t it? Sounds a lot like assassination, especially in today’s volatile political environment. Shouldn’t someone in his position be held to a higher standard? Yet, nothing happens because he is a never-Trumper and that makes anything he says a-okay.
There was plenty of blowback to his ugly post. Many people tagged the FBI and intelligence agencies. If the FBI is busy monitoring school board meetings, shouldn’t the agency be interested in this type of threat to a sitting senator?
Threat to a public official. Where you at, @FBI? https://t.co/qFbxYSTQf9

Hello @CIA. I would like to report this deranged man calling for the death of the United States Senator. I believe he is already on your radar.

Did Hayden take a moment and ask himself if this is conduct becoming of his station in life? Nope. He doubled-down on the ugliness of his threat when he saw the criticism.
“I was surprised to wake up this morning and discover that many MAGAnuts had lost their minds over my suggestion that ‘Coach’ Tuberville not be considered a member of the human race,” Hayden tweeted on Tuesday. “I stand by that view. I’m wishing you all a nice day even the intransigent Tommy Tuberville.”
Like I said, he’s a garbage person. You ‘ll notice he used “considered” a member of the human race. He didn’t tweet that response and it wasn’t used in the original tweet to which he responded. That tweet said “remove” from the committee. Hayden simply responded “How about the human race?”, as in remove from the human race. Nice try, Hayden. That’s a cowardly move.
Thank you, Senator Tuberville, for oversight into bad policy coming from the Department of Defense. This does violate the Hyde Amendment. Schumer and the Defense Secretary know it, they just don’t care.
All Chuck Schumer has to do is call an individual vote on anyone of whom there is a problem with a promotion or nomination not going forward. He has done it with two individuals since Tuberville’s hold went in place. He can do more. Or, he can hold a full vote and be done with it. The pro-abortion wing of the Senate doesn’t have the votes and Schumer knows it. It isn’t just MAGA Republicans who object to Secretary Austin’s overreach in policy.
Maybe he could be recalled to active duty, to face court martial. I don’t know for sure.
There’s a lamp post missing its Mikey.
I was reading up on him earlier today.
I don’t know if it’s connected, but I read he had a stroke and has aphasia.
Be a shame if Hamas got hold of his family...
I figure this guy has around the clock security. As former head of the NSA and CIA, I imagine he knows some serious dirt.
Is that a pic of him describing the size of his pecker ?
He needs a free helicopter ride.
🚁
🤸🏻
Or feet first through a woodchipper works too.
“Is that a pic of him describing the size of his pecker ?”
No! That’s his brain after they removed the tumor silly!
I think any general saying such things should be put to death as a threat to the US.
That stroke was back in 2018. He still has traces of aphasia, trouble understanding the speech of others and trouble speaking on his own. Maybe, being a retired General, he is used to saying exactly what he wants to say, and most people not openly questioning it.
Then we’re back to his pecker.
I believe the senator reported Hayden to the police. I suspect it will go nowhere.
This guy literally lied to congress about torture and then went on later to sign the laptop from hell “intel expert” letter, filled with lies, intended to influence a presidential election. Fountain of integrity.
If someone just quietly made him disappear, that’d work too!
This guy is the enemy.
That is certainly quite possible. He’s always been deep state, but I don’t remember such blatant speech. I would think it’s a crime to say what he did. It’s at least a crime for you and I.
Hayden was the CIA Director during the war on terror. The terrorists won. Enough said.
It’s ok. He’ll hang in 2025.
