Trump, the man with a dream of a Wall

[Brian Peacock]

Wasn't Trump supposed to be the President of peace or something? He's now proposing a "Space Force", to wage battles in space. How old is this cunt?

To his credit, perhaps, only perhaps, he's of that optimistic generation that prophesied hover shoes, food in pill form, a nuclear generator in every home, and holidays on Mars. "Space Force" was an excellent BBC Radio drama of that optimistic era. Written by Charles Chilton, literally millions tuned in each week to hear how Captain Saxon Berry, flight engineer Lodderick, Professor Magnus, and comedy relief Chipper Barnet would escape the inevitable end of show cliffhanger (they're on YouTube if you're interested). Now, that's the kind of Space Force I want to see!

By his own words, Il Douche would like it if the US used torture as a means of obtaining intelligence. He's now nominated somebody for Director of the CIA that apparently has no problem with that idea.

'The CIA’s new nominee director Gina Haspel once ran a torture site and destroyed evidence'

As CIA director Mike Pompeo moves to become the United States’ secretary of state, deputy director Gina Haspel has been nominated to lead the agency. If confirmed by the Senate, she will become the first woman to run the CIA.

Haspel’s nomination will be controversial; she played a leading role in running a US torture site abroad and later destroyed the evidence of it.

In 2002, she oversaw a secret prison in Thailand that tortured two terrorism suspects. That torture took place within the CIA’s “extraordinary rendition” program, in which suspected terrorists are sent to US allies, and interrogated in “black sites” on their soil.

One of the men, known as Abu Zubayda, was waterboarded 83 times in one month and was slammed into walls by the head. He was deprived of sleep and kept in a coffin-like box. Interrogators later decided he didn’t have any useful information.

ProPublica found that Haspel personally signed cables to CIA headquarters that detailed Zubayda’s interrogation.

CIA videos of the torture were destroyed in 2005, on the orders of a cable drafted by Haspel. Her then-boss Jose Rodriguez, the CIA’s director of operations for counterterrorism, signed off on the order. “The cable left nothing to chance. It even told them how to get rid of the tapes,” he wrote in his memoir, according to ProPublica. “They were to use an industrial-strength shredder to do the deed.”

Nothing to see there. The important part that the lamestream fake news media aren't focussing on is that Trump is pro-women. Did Obama appoint a woman head of CIA? No. Because he is a Muslim and hates women!

Gina Haspel: Who is the woman Donald Trump nominated to take over the CIA?

Ms Haspel commands deep respect within the agency, but has a controversial history

Her nickname in the service is 'Torture Girl'.

Deep state! He's draining the deep state into his cabinet! Via CIA.

That's why if you catch them you kill them. While torture is generally frowned upon, nearly everyone will accept some form of argument for killing.

[Scot Dutchy]

What's next the concentration camps?

[Sean Hayden]

I don't make the rules. I just woke up here, just like you.

Church says Trump OK to fuck porn star

Christianity all about forgiveness!
Sin! Repent!
Repeat!

[cronus]

Idiocracy was a warning not a blue-print on how to organize government. People are upset about the porn star. Half for genuine reasons and half out of envy I'd guess....

[Seabass]

This is fuckin' magnificent:

[pErvinalia]

They really are an embarrassment. They're like the 42 of the media world. No self awareness.

[Scot Dutchy]

Like father like son:

Vanessa Trump files for divorce from Donald Trump Jr – reports

The president’s eldest son, 40, and his wife of 13 years were ‘living separate lives’, according to reports

[pErvinalia]

I wonder if Donald will have Vlad kill her.
