    1. At least they finally shed their human skin circa 2018 and can now show off their scales and warm their cold-blooded lizard bodies in Trump’s hellish heat

    2. On January 20, 2017, Brennan’s CIA appointment ended, and he was replaced by President Trump’s nominee Mike Pompeo on January 23, 2017. Because Brennan was horrible as a CIA director. Mike Pompeo has done an amazing job compared to Brennan.

  1. Good point about Lensey Graham’s political shift after Mc Cain’s death.. All he’s done since, is just to remain politically relivent?? It’s like he and the rest of the (r)epublican party lost thier soul and spines after he passed! Can you imagine what you would hear Mc Cain say today to both Graham and trump to thier faces today after watching all that has happened to this country since he has passed?? At least he spoke his mind and was never afraid of a tweet from trump like all of the spineless lackeys that enable trump today!! Let alone what we saw when trump spoke at Helsinki standing next to putin?? He defiantly would be up front and very vocal about what the country and the world saw that day!! He was not a perfect man but you always knew he did what he thought was best for the entire people of this country!! It’s so sad to see how far our democracy has fallen since he has passed!!

  2. When the Trump era comes to its ignominious end, the word that will best describe it is betrayal, by Trump himself and by all his fallen enablers.

    1. @Linda Stangland Me neither. Can hope at a minimum this does massive public damage to the Dems as it should. There was never a peaceful transition of power after Obama and his name is on this too.

    2. I believe John Brennan is a Russian double agent. Here are the “dots” I have connected that leads me to believe this. When President Trump visited Helsinki in July 2018, he did not have to meet with Putin. He did so anyway even though he knew he would be highly criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for doing so. He met with Putin because Putin had something very important to tell him. Something so important that it had to be told in person and man to man. No reporters, no advisers, just interpreters. What could be so important and so highly confidential? I believe Putin told Trump that Brennan visited Russia secretly in March of 2016 to put together and bring home the fake dossier. He also told Trump that Brennan (the head of the US CIA) was/is a Russian double agent. Recall … that in mid August of 2018, almost immediately (according to Washington, DC’s time-table) upon Trump’s return from Helsinki, Brennan’s security clearance was revoked. Immediately an outcry went up from the Democrats to see the interpreter’s notes. I am sure some of the high ranking Democrats were told what transpired between Trump and Putin because that outcry died out as fast as it came up and hasn’t been mentioned at all since. To this date … Brennan’s security clearance is the only one that has been revoked. Now … how does the USA admit to its own citizens and the world that the head of the (then) CIA was/is a Russian double agent without bringing total embarrassment upon itself? Basically it can’t.

    1. Its on trump’s twitter. He was asked by clinton to investigate trump so it would distract from her emails, he ran it by Obama. So he was just doing what he was told. And now clinton will have him start preparing his will.

    1. Punishment for TREASON is Death. Let’s see maybe Comey should be in the middle…#HangKenyanTraitors #NotTooTallToHang4Treason #WheresBrennansNoose

  3. Hey Mr. Brennan, I hear it gets really really cold in Leavenworth in winter, oh and very HOT in summer !!!!!!

  4. Brennan, we are just so happy how you felt it was so important to take notes during the meetings you were in, as others have providing us with all the evidence we need to have you prosecuted for the crimes you committed against our greatest president and this great country.
