This is the guy?

John Ratcliffe?

The first time he was nominated:

quote:
Ratcliffe withdrew after Republican senators raised concerns about him, former intelligence officials said he might politicize intelligence, and media revealed Ratcliffe's embellishments regarding his prosecutorial experience in terrorism and immigration cases

Republican senators even opposed the guy the first time around, let alone Democrats because Republicans thought he would politicize intelligence.

quote:
However, during his tenure as DNI, Ratcliffe was regarded as using the DNI to score political points for Trump.[16][17] Ratcliffe made public assertions that contradicted the intelligence community's own assessments,[16] and sidelined career officials in the intelligence community.

He was as partisan as you can get.

They ran this on the news this morning then said the administration knew it happened but the balloons weren’t detected at the time.

Absolute BS. Happened three times and no one saw it? No one reported it? Fake news. Besides, they are scrambling bigly and constantly changing the story. Expect another change sometime today.

So is this the ChiCom - Putin - Iran plan?

The ChiComs distract Biden and his Climate Change - EV - Electric Stove good Gas Stove bad - loony toon leftist radicals. In Ukraine, Vlad Putin drains the USA of its stockpile of Hi-Tech Weapons. And over here, the Iranian Mullahs are sitting at the entrance to the Panama Canal. Waiting.

Okay, you tell me this Chinese balloon was spying on our military installations. Instead of shooting the thing down, the BIDEN administration and DOD wait until the thing is off the coast of NC. Whereupon all the electronic apparatus is effectively destroyed. Follow the money. Follow Hunter Biden.

That’s a fact. Hell, Trump would have had the intercepting plane be a 2 seater trainer and been in the back seat of he could.

And NOW THIS;

quote:
Waltz then dropped this bomb. Rep. Waltz said that General Mattis was Secretary of Defense at the time and decided not to inform President Trump because the Pentagon thought Trump was “too provocative and aggressive!”

Trump bad. Trump stupid. Trump unfit for presidency.

A national security issue arises, and the first comment made from the president admin is how Trump handled the same situation previously.

Adults it the room.

All of this.

Biden had classified docs.

I bet they uncovered some shite on Hunter's laptop eluding to the possibility of his old man taking classified docs to keep them out of prison.

So raid Trump, no charges.

Raid Biden, take docs, *lose them, somehow, in a lit trash barrel. Crazy, I'm telling you man.
