The water boarder gets the acid test

Like Sartre said, hell is other people. Well, at least when the other people are Trump and his stooges.

I’ve tried to listen to an entire Trump speech, but have never managed to force myself to do it. This having to listen would be torture. Her appointment deserves more attention. The confirmation hearing should be interesting and disturbing. From Wikipedia:

“On February 8, 2017, several members of the Senate intelligence committee urged Trump to reconsider his appointment of Haspel as Deputy Director.23 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse quoted colleagues Ron Wyden and Martin Heinrich who were on the committee:I am especially concerned by reports that this individual was involved in the unauthorized destruction of CIA interrogation videotapes, which documented the CIA’s use of torture against two CIA detainees. My colleagues Senators Wyden and Heinrich have stated that classified information details why the newly appointed Deputy Director is ‘unsuitable’ for the position and have requested that this information be declassified. I join their request."

It’s a torture most of us have gone through more than once.

AND, just if you had ANY DOUBTS that Trump is TOTALLY NUTS…

Democrats need to nominate a younger candidate from the upper Midwest in 2020 to win back MI, WI, and PA. Someone who is proud of their roots; or they will repeat 2016’s disaster.

Trump will break her before the year is over.

Waterboarding should be replaced with recordings of Trump’s rantings. But that would probably be against the Geneva Convention.

No sympathy here.
