Swamp Weasels for Kamala
Seven hundred past and present intelligence and other government officials and retired military officers have endorsed Kamala Harris. This includes at least some of the “dirty fifty-one” who assured us that Hunter’s laptop was fake, and the same crowd who pretended that the Steele dossier was real. People who have gutted our national defense with DEI hiring and the insane Obama policy deference to Islamist nutballs, while also calling for government censorship of critics, have declared that Xi, et al, would prefer Trump, an allegation even more absurd than their previous consensus on Hunter and Steele.
On the downside, it is depressing that within government and academia, mere titles and tenure are presented as viable substitutes for competence and character. It is deeply pathetic that these people believe they are remotely trustworthy.
On the upside, it’s nice to have a working list to start draining the swamp if the opportunity arises in 2025.

So – complicit swamp weasels?
Several actions in recent years have greatly diminished any reasonable reliance on the word of “former intelligence officials” or “retired military officers.”
My, oh my! Don’t you understand that these are the people with “credentials” who merit your support?
High rank insignia or a long agency title may or may not be an indication of competence but is it proof certain that that individual has never misgendered anyone nor flunked a racial sensitivity questionnaire.
During the Trump-Harris debate, Harris blathered on about how she has the endorsement of Vice President Dick Cheney. When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Dick Cheney are both supporting the same presidential candidate, something is going on.
On Friday’s Gutfeld show, he had a segment about “What was the question Kamala was asked?” It was pretty damn funny.
Some are good, some are bad, some are outright dangerous to themselves and everyone around them. DEI does not optimize for much of importance. Watching Band of Brothers. These
knuckleheadsheroes are about to jump out of perfectly good airplanes into enemy territory so that we could subject ourselves to this ludicrous farce of a decade. Xi is laughing so hard he can barely hold his water.Trump destroyed Cheney’s daughter’s political career. We’re going to find him in a bush on a golf course someday. I’d do the same for my sister. Family is family.
What, even if they deserved it?
Does that mean that someone SHOULD take out Trump if he “destroys Kamala Harris’s political career?”
Of course not. Justifiable is a whole different kettle of fish. They are never going to be hunting buddies.
So, it’s okay if the rest of us were to stop you – perhaps permanently, and preemptively – from killing someone for destroying your sister’s political career?
The law is the law.
Just making sure you put it on the record. Sort of a DNR order.
Is it legal for current government officials to do that? What does the Hatch Act say? Was it different before the Clintons gutted it?
By the way, I looked it up. Yes, there are weasels that hang around swamps.
Who ya gonna call? Merrick Garland?
The news says that a US government shutdown was narrowly avoided. I could read the article to find out it that is a good thing.
This is excellent news. They are making their own list of people not to be hired in the next Trump administration. That makes the vetting process for new hires a lot easier.
Maybe Cheney will take Trump on a Hunting Trip
Bury the hatchet. He wishes.
I LOVE this!
And it ain’t no good (as Kamala might say when she is trying to act Black).
Family is family. That is why Daddy Dick should have pulled his daughter aside and coaxed her into keeping her big mouth shut and stop working for the enemy. The problem is Daddy has become the enemy too.
Been working on that for a long time.
Uniparty is as Uniparty does.
I looked through the list of these political chameleons and lo, I saw a general I once worked for. He seemed an impressive leader back then, but I’m reminded that a great many (I suspect the majority) officers who reach that star-filled stratosphere do so by demonstrating at least as much political acumen as military achievement. If a President came out in favor of mandatory “dress in drag day” for the DOD, the flag ranks would be the first ones to throw a San Francisco style Pride Parade at the Pentagon, sashaying about like Milton Berle and taking a great many flag rank hopefuls with them.
Mark Twain said of Judas Iscariot that he was, “…nothing but a low, mean, premature, Congressman.” Which to my thinking puts the signatories of this letter, including the guy I worked for years ago, lower still.
