Richard Grenell To Be Named Acting National Intel Director, Would Be First Openly Gay Cabinet Member

He made a fool of himself in Germany. Incredibly unqualified.

He has NO intelligence experience. None, he has never worked a day in intelligence

[quote]He has NO intelligence experience. None, he has never worked a day in intelligence

So perfectly qualified

He's Trump's very own "Power Gay"!

Who's had him? And is he top or bottom?

R1, what did he do?

He said something to the effect that trans people are like Nazis. That didn't go very well, obviously.

He's a cunt.

He's a gay man who wants to drop the T r6? All that tells me is that he's a datalounger.

Or very intelligent, r8.

I’m sure he’s done plenty of intelligence on grindr hook ups.

💅🏼💅🏼

Another fucking loser. Next.

He has NO intelligence

There's a director for incels?

Tom Nichols:

Grenell as DNI? This is crazy, even by the standards of this administration.

Grennell as DNI, Pompeo at State, O'Brien at NSC. Better hope that if there's a crisis, Mark Esper and CJCS can overcome that bunch. Remember, I'm the guy that doesn't do the Panic Dance, but if this is who's on deck for a crisis, we're in deep trouble.

I believe he's called The Wizard, R13, rather than the pedestrian 'director'.

read up on this idiot ...

With his partner, Matt Lashey.

Tooth veneers, jawline restoration, eyebrow lift, botox - what else?

[quote]An administration official confirms to @VOANews that @RichardGrenell will simultaneously serve as ambassador to #Germany and director of national intelligence (he's also special envoy for peace negotiations between #Serbia and #Kosovo).

Will he be ambassadoring Germany from Washington or intelligencing the U.S. from Germany?

His BF is nice looking.

this would be hilarious if it weren't so terrifying! completely unqualified.

inflatable Wayne Newton and Rick pose with the flag

What this tells us is that Dump can’t get anyone who's qualified and has decent reputation to work for him. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, as usual.

Trump has locked inthe gay vote now! go Donald!

Another Trump loyalist, which means he'll put the good of America 2nd or 3rd. Some people will use Grenell's Cabinet new position to proclaim how much Trump has done for gays. One word they should know - quisling.

Can someone in this thread tell me what makes him so unqualified?

He looks like the kind of guy who would pick you up in a bar, take you home, and then the police finds parts of your body in his freezer.

[quote]Trump has locked inthe gay vote now! go Donald

This should get DL off Trump’s back!

He looks like fellow TrumpGay Peter Thiel.

I guarantee Princess Plastic recommended Grenell to her father for this. There was a mutual lovefest going on between her and Grenell, when her unqualified self went to speak on security issues and women's empowerment.

The guy's a self-satisfied prick, who now counts that notoriously fickle and shallow gay couple who switched from HRC supporters to "MAGA" Gays on election night amongst his friends.

This is a move to demonstrate too that "Mr. Man" supports LGBT issues.

It's creepy, sinister, and oh, so calculated.

[quote]Can someone in this thread tell me what makes him so unqualified?

The onus is on YOU to tell us how he's qualified to be anywhere near Intelligence. Everything he has ever done is related to "public relations" and "communications"

R31 I am simply asking why everyone is saying he's unqualified. I never said anything about proving it. That's why I'm asking. Everyone else seems so sure that he's unqualified that someone here should be able to tell me why he isn't. Hello?

R32, he has no qualifications to be in Intelligence. His entire career is communications/public relations. Spokesman for the office, maybe, but (acting) director? NO

Grenell has never served a day in the intelligence community in any capacity. He held some communications jobs -- Grenell briefly worked on Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, for example -- before Trump tapped him to serve as the ambassador to Germany, where Grenell managed to routinely infuriate our allies in Berlin.

Though Trump yesterday referred to Grenell as "highly respected," the truth is that Grenell was so reviled in his current diplomatic post that some German officials spoke publicly about the possibility of asking him to leave the country.

And did I mention that Grenell was also a relevant figure in the White House's Ukraine scandal? Because that's another relevant part of his c.v.

He is supposedly very tight with Don Jr, which is disturbing

Has no intelligence qualifications at all. He’s widely known as an Internet troll. He’s so hated in Germany as the US ambassador to Germany that officials were considering asking to him to be deported.

He’s Trump’s token gay

His face has overdosed on Botox

[quote]He is supposedly very tight with Don Jr

Pics please.

Well, Hitler got rid of all his gay higher ups when he gained absolute power, so...

Messy bms

He's a fucking scumbag internet troll. I couldn't care less about his sexuality.

I still can't believe one of you queens hasn't done him at some point.

Is there any possibility that he'll meet a condign end in one of those choked-on-his-own-vomit-during-meth-fueled-bondage-sex incidents?

R43, we Dataloungers have many flaws and have committed grave errors and crimes, but at least we don't fuck Republicans.

Does his forehead wrinkle?

Has he redone the offices in Downtown Abby yet?

Do you guys know how incredibly dangerous this is? The gatekeeper who watches over the intelligence gathering will be a trump sycophant.

He’s Trump’s gay, except for Miss Graham, of course.

National Incel Director? I don't think that is necessary until the Bernie Bros rise to power.

He's already started a purge to get rid of intelligence people who aren't loyal to Trump. Totally fascist.

My prediction is that he'll appoint Peter Thiel to something. They're birds of a feather.

MARY!

This guy is responsible for preparing and delivering the Presidential Daily Briefing to Dump (not that he understands it). What could go wrong?

[quote]This guy is responsible for preparing and delivering the Presidential Daily Briefing to Dump

He is a comic-book artist?

I feel so safe— a man whose only experience is being an internet troll and a German ambassador the Germans detest is now head of intelligence.

Susan Collins is disappointed Trump appointed Grenell to the position

First Roy Cohn, now this douchebag. Donald certainly has his type of gay man.

Richard Allen Grenell (born September 18, 1966)

Douchebag slimy piece of shit extraordinaire

In June 2013, Grenell revealed that he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and started chemotherapy. In September 2013, Grenell announced that he was in remission.

Too bad it went into remission.

What if Mayor Pete becomes POTUS? Will he fire Grenell? Will there be wig-snatching on the South Lawn?

[quote]Too bad it went into remission.

Well . . .

R61. Yes. I have had enough of Trump and his administration spreading hate, lies and deception around the world. They are criminals. I have a friend in Germany who told me that Grenell is doing his best to rile up right-wing groups in Germany. As a representative of the United States, Grenell ought to be ashamed off himself for such vile behavior.

So yes, too bad his cancer went into remission. And while we're on the subject, Trump can get cancer or have a heart attack and die too. Since we can't get rid of them until the next election--and hopefully they will be gone, I can wish them dead in the meantime.

I don’t think we should let him spell his nickname the gay way.

Yup R62. The German gov't asked him to basically shut up or leave the country- a first for an American ambassador. He's a right wing lunatic and all the more twisted because he is a gay man. I'm sure there were a few American Jewish nazi's back in the day...

[quote]I'm sure there were a few American Jewish nazi's back in the day...

Back in the day? I could name a dozent Jewish people right now who are aligned with Neo-Nazis/white supremacists to the point of inspiring terrorism, because Ashkenazi Jews have always been white first and it shows in their policies/behavior towards others - even on DL.
