Former CIA Director: The GOP is the Most Dangerous Political Force I’ve Ever Seen

[QUOTE]”I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career,” said Michael Hayden. “I have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous and contemptible than today’s Republicans.”

Well I guess he doesn't believe in sugar-coating.

He's right

Why does he have a bulb growing out of his neck?

by Anonymousreply 3August 18, 2022 11:17 PM

I think that's his mic, doll.

He and Liz need security from the crazies.

He's doing a one-dangle earring thing, r3.

Says the guy who let 9/11 happen ("we missed the signs") and then oversaw theinstitution of the fucking Patriot Act to cover up his incompetence.

Fuck him. He's a Bush cult member and WILL NOT be forgiven for it, no matter how much he tries to grovel for doing the bidding of the GOP.

Good r4, I thought he had a MELONOMA!

"Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has produced documentary evidence of Hayden’s role in the 9/11 intelligence failure and subsequent civil liberties violations. The consequences of Hayden’s misconduct during this time continue to be felt today."

He may be an imperfect messenger, but his past misconduct has nothing to do with the message itself.

The Left needs to hammer away with this message. The only reason that these crazies got so much control is because no one had the guts to reel them in. Forget how raids on former presidents looks, if there is clear evidence of crimes you've got to go in there and take control. Otherwise they win

Also, you can just forget about changing anyone's mind. It's not going to happen. The only thing you can do to the nutjobs is take away their power and contain them

The problem is, the Republican base thinks the exact same thing about the Democrats. This is not tenable.

^ The difference is they're the ones who break the law, they're the ones who try to overthrow the government, they're the ones who steal Top Secrets and they're the ones who have to be controlled. Just like any other felon, no "both sides"

Good posts in this thread, especially r13
