drat hypocrite. Wasn't it just a few years ago when Ramirez's ilk were blistering about Our Brave Intelligence Community because it was "under attack" by Obama (rhetorical question; I think I already know the answer)?

It never ceases to amaze me how easily these people turn from their supposedly deeply held convictions on a dime.

Almost like the Dems and media who are now forgetting about any past transgressions and embracing Our Brave Intelligence Community for fighting Trump.

No, that's the overall cultural consensus. What's the title of the book, anyways?

The book was Central and Eastern Europe: The Opening Curtain by WIlliam E. Griffith. It focuses a lot on the economic stagnation and political reforms of Russia and its satellites, and it was plain to see the Union was not going to make it far into the '90s.

Pretty sure the CIA actually warned that 9/11 was in the offing at least twice before it happened. But if you like the taste of Republican dick, Ramirez, who am I to tell you to stop sucking it?

they did. ramzi yousef, ksm, and company had the bojinka plot all cooked up (in which they were going to fly planes into buildings like the cia headquarters in langley) and we knew about it because some of their dumb buddies accidentally set their philippines apartment on fire.

Oh hey look the literal opposite of reality. It's loving Trump who throws tantrums, because how dare news outlets have the nerve to critisize him. It's really true that every single complaint conservatives have about anyone to their left is projection.

Trump could literally have reporters hung in public and they'd make a cartoon going "WAAAAHHH MEAN TRUMP IS MAKING ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY ACTIONS!" while happy ~Real Americans~ cheer the deaths in the background.

If Trump put Muslims in concentration camps you'd see Lester put sobbing fat people in pussy hats embracing ISIS members while a ~red blooded American family~ helps to push people into the gas chambers.

The joke here is that the owner of this forum got a visit from the Secret Service after some folks made some slightly-too-ironic jokes about killing President George W Bush. As a result there is an official file in the Secret Service database where a slightly flustered Richard Kyanka explains what Goatse is to a pair of confused secret service agents.

I'm confused. Why is there so much "The Emperor's New Clothes" references recently? Wasn't that the story where everyone went along with the story that the emperor was wearing clothing until a little child asked why the emperor was walking around naked? Isn't that almost the exact opposite of what's going on now with the media calling out at least some of Trumps actions?

We're also seeing 'Presidency as car going off cliff with driver saying everything's fine' and 'healthcare as ambulance up on blocks' which was done a million times during the Obama presidency by Ramirez alone. What I'm trying to say is that political cartoonists suck.

The Emperor was conned into believing that the fabric his clothes were made of were so expensive and special that only special and awesome people can see them.

Anyone who calls him out on being naked is just one of the plebs who isn't special enough to see this totally awesome fabric that 100% exists for sure

There's also the added bonus that since the clothes don't actually exist and the Emperor can't see them, it means that either he's not special and awesome or he's an idiot who bought literally nothing and so pretends that he's not naked since otherwise everyone would think bad of him, and everyone else pretends he's not naked because they don't want people to think they're not special and awesome. Much like the Republican party!

An unrepentant scumbag there is ZERO chance that Ramirez wouldn't be sucking off his every move were they alive at the same time. Appointed by Calvin Coolidge a Republican who, despite the Southern Strategy, was very much a modern Republican. Ramirez would also love this man.

1991: William S. Sessions. Appointed by Reagan *cough*

2001: Robert Mueller. Appointed by George W Bush. To be fair he replaced the last guy a week before 9/11 so the last guy was Thomas J. Pickard appointed by...George W. Bush...

2017: James Comey. Appointed by Barack "The Islamic Shock" Obama.

Unless Ramirez is talking about a general, vague, "intelligence" blob that only he defines. In which case: good job being right?
