Schumer on Trump nominating a FUCKING WAR CRIMINAL to be CIA Director: I want to hear from her before making any decisions on whether we should vote for or against her.
And on Pompeo, the Democrats are calling for him to be more hawkish on Russia than Tillerson was--and keep in mind that there's a NATO buildup on Russia's border, US ships in the Black Sea, and multiple incidents of Russian and US places coming very close to colliding with each other. (Schumer says the same about Pompeo, and also says that he wants him to toughen up the administration's stance on Russia. Oh, and Pompeo thinks that Edward Snowden should be executed.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ7Ouq3Ity4One party says, 'I can't wait to just nominate all these war criminals, it's going to be fucking wonderful,' and the opposition party goes, 'Yeah, but those war criminals better be even more hawkish.'
If you can't come out and say, "we will record 47 votes against Haspel" when she's a FUCKING WAR CRIMINAL, what the FUCK ARE YOU GOOD FOR CHUCK SCHUMER?
EDIT: And don't forget, Trump's third major nomination (to replace McMaster as National Security Adviser) is John Bolton, who led the charge in lying the US into the illegal invasion of Iraq, and has called for the US to go to war with Iran and North Korea... simultaneously. While still engaged fully in Iraq and Afghanistan. And aiding the Saudi genocide in Yemen. And conducting drone bombings in at least 5 more countries.
