Don’t these cabinet secretaries and agency heads realize that they are only in office to provide a rubber stamp?

Actually, I find this news to be the most hopeful I’ve heard in the past few days for two reasons: 1) Maybe some of the Republicans will stand up to Trump against torture 2) If Trump is announcing controversial policy without even notifying his cabinet heads, maybe some of them will resign. Their jobs will become both impossible and meaningless. Trump may literally be standing alone in a few months.

Mike Pompeo will be looking at the post-Trump fallout, when those who enabled his war crimes will be answerable to the World Court.

The only issue is whose lies do you believe?

Well, provide rubber, anyway.

So the Director of the CIA is out of the loop on torture and possible rendition sites?

He’s the head of Intelligence…and has to find out things about his own agency from the Times?

What strange times these are!

Trump: But I have spoken as recently as 24 hours ago with people at the highest level of intelligence. And I asked them the question, “Does it work? Does torture work?” And the answer was, “Yes, absolutely.”

He’'s not even using the veil “enhanced interrogation techniques” he’s straight up calling it torture and he wants it.

He’s getting ready to take his first flight on Air Force One. He’ll probably spend the rest of short time as POTUS riding around on his new toy.

TO CIA Dir. Pompeo: It came from Steve Bannon, the Official Rasputin of this unholy administration. How Bannon finds additional room up Trump’s butt, given that Putin’s hand is in there, too, we’ll never know.

Dear Mike Pompeo,
Follow these instructions to the letter:
1.) Sit in chair and glance at end table or coffee table.
2.) Grasp television remote control sitting on aforementioned table. If remote control is NOT on aforementioned table, check under chair cushion.
3.) Aim remote control at television screen.
4.) Change channel from FoxNews to any other channel. ANY channel. Even a rerun of “Ren and Stimpy” or an
informercial about hair extensions.
5.) Now you will be able to see what the fuck is going on in the world.
