Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

 Trump has selected Bill Pulte to be interim Director of National Intelligence after Tulsi Gabbard steps down. Pulte has less than zero experience to hold this important position. This piece by The Hill is telling. The Senators aghast at Pulte's nomination are...Thom Tillis (retiring), Bill Cassidy (defeated by Trumpist in primary), John Cornyn (ditto) and the Very Concerned Twins of Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins. 

This clown whose only qualification is his sycophantic attention to Trump's puckered asshole has already used mortgage data to go after Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to take this job. Gabbard, with her pro-Russian politics, was terrible enough, but Pulte will make this country less safe while arguably turning the intelligence apparatus of the United States on Trump's political enemies.
