Brennan is an honorable man, but if he thinks his comments will change the Asshole-electā€™s destructive behavior, he is also sadly stupid.

Iā€™ve felt for a while that Brennan really doesnā€™t like or respect Trump. This confirms it.

Shocking, I know.

He is far from stupid. I donā€™t think he thinks what you think he might think, at all.

I donā€™t think heā€™s aiming at Trumper. I think he has a larger audience in view.

Yā€™all never get it. This isnā€™t aimed at changing Trump. This is aimed at everybody else -

If he didnā€™t want to influence the Asshole-elect, and is just pontificating to a larger audience, heā€™s just wasting Twitter time.

beyond outrageous. Shows @realDonaldTrump expects blind loyalty and subservience from everyoneā€”qualities usually found in narcissistic, vengeful autocrats.

John Brennan wins the Twitter/Internets today.
I donā€™t know how one could say it more forcefully and succinctly.

It got ink, didnā€™t it? If heā€™d made some general statement or gone on some talking-heads show, would it have got more notice than this? Probably not.

Brennanā€™s description of Trump as a ā€œnarcissistic, vengefulā€ autocrat is a colossal understatement. Time and again Trump has revealed himself to be a spoiled, childish brat who really believes that the entire world should bow down and kowtow to his every wish and action.

What is surprising in this affair is Nikki Haleyā€™s very public threat to the entire UN General Assembly that she will be ā€œtaking down names,ā€ an echo of the old infantile threat that, ā€œIā€™m gonna tell on you, just you wait . . .!ā€

Our foreign policy in the hands of these idiots plus Tillerson is rapidly becoming a very dangerous shambles. The world is laughing at us . . . in horror.

I think she might be angling to try to get SECSTATE.

That is absolutely her intent. Trying to make up for ground lost by her #metoo comments.

Howā€™s he supposed to reach ā€˜45ā€™?

Brennan hasnā€™t said it out loud (and neither have the other ā€˜tenorsā€™, Comey and Clapper), but heā€™s clearly aware that thereā€™s an undeclared but rhetorically boisterous civil war happening now.

All three are aware that Trump and his supporters are a lost cause, but its the moderate Republicans who reluctantly voted for ā€˜45ā€™ that are seen as the future.

I wonder what could possibly have caused thatā€¦

G-d help us if that happens!

I would not be surprised to see her exit this administration altogether but one never knows.

Caused my belief, or caused Brennan not to like Trump?

Brennan not liking Trump. Everybody likes Trump, honest and respectful gentleman, unlike that Obama guy, the one with the dark skin that everybody hated.
