President Trump Nominates Congressman John Ratcliffe To Be Director Of National Intelligence For A Second Time





NBC: Trump nominates Rep. John Ratcliffe to be intel chief — again

Trump wanted the Texas congressman as director of national intelligence in 2019 but backed off when Ratcliffe was shown to have inflated his resume.

WASHINGTON — In what amounts to a direct challenge to Senate Republicans, President Donald Trump announced Friday that his pick to head the intelligence community is the same Republican congressman whose previous bid for the job collapsed amid revelations he misrepresented his background.

Trump tweeted that he was nominating Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas to be the director of national intelligence, calling the former federal prosecutor "an outstanding man of great talent."

There is talk this maybe a ruse to keep Grenell in there to clean house as Ratcliffe's nomination is dragged out in the Senate. If it is bravo.

Ratcliffe has not been confirmed before. But of he had the Democrats would still drag it out.

It is like this. If you are on the Atlantic Coast on the beach watching the sun come up alongside a Democrat and say the "The sun is coming up." The Democrat would say "No, it is not!" and call you a racist, sexist, & homophobe.


Other than that what Stephen said.

One of those bills sitting is a "Net Neutrality" bill.

Barack Insane Obama had net neutrality. Trump got rid of it. People ...well strike that I don't think you can call inchoate blobs of protoplasm, people... said that internet speed would slow down. Speeds a re double now. So where is your fucking prediction you fruit?

If this was the planet of Geta, your sperm would be thrown out of the sperm bank. Honestly you have one humdinger of a bad prediction after another.
