WNU Editor: There is support for this nomination .... Trump Makes a Fantastic Choice for Acting Director of National Intelligence (Epoch times), and condemnation .... Top Democrat on Senate Intel panel pans Trump's DNI pick (The Hill). But what is clear is that President Trump wants someone in this position who is loyal to his agenda and policies. He also wants someone that he can trust to "clean-up" the intelligence community. And here is a prediction. If President Trump wins in November, I will not be surprised if Rick Grenell will be in this post until 2024.

Rick Grenell is gay. No one cares except liberal gays. I am not going to go to their sites to see if they are all worked up and if they are calling Grenell an Uncle Tom or if they are so exercised that santorum is dribbling from their lips.
No honest evangelical will care either. They are more concerned about Brennan's shenanigans than about Rick Grennell.
Trump gets re-elected and many Democrats who have committed many crimes will be in jail. So called white privilege or Democrat privilege will not avail them a thing.
Actually it looks as if you care. Otherwise why post anything at all.
First, I do care about Grenell; I want him to haul in Brennan.
Second, my prediction as to what LGBT websites are buzzing about is spot on. They will make it an issue at some point in some way, if they can. I remember them buzzing about a Republican politician not too long ago and they were in high dudgeon. So when it comes to confirmation look at those groups to come out of the woodwork to denounce him and to try to get the appointment quashed.
You do not need some swamp dweller like Wray to head intel, because if that happens the dirty bitch Brennan skates.
Interesting. My prediction is that Brennan will skate because he knows too much about too many.

Funny. You seem to care a lot about the fact he's gay. More than any other liberal agenda/website.
6:14 You are so sweet to insincerely wonder. Psychology has a reproducibility crisis and you are going to hang onto that bit as though it is fact? You're more of a bien pensant than you or I previously thought.
