Hell, he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh.

I'm sure trmp has some fake gilt medallions like the ones in his Ofal Oriffice.

are good in .... propagating that they are manly alpha men, but in reality just plain wimps.

She described him as a "hero," but he was literally taking up arms in support of our enemy, Russia.

I have no problem with her keeping her job at literally any other job except anywhere in our intelligence apparatus. She clearly cannot be trusted to keep our secrets and stay on our side in intelligence battles with our enemies. Did the CIA know her son was fighting with the Russian army? You can't even get a job in intelligence if your immediate relatives are not US citizens, for fear your loyalties might waver. Her son was a Russian soldier, for fuck's sake.

Even if she wrote it, I think we should give a grieving a mother a little slack.

until the floor dropped out from under her. Fuck her and her traitorous son. Must be related to Tulsi Gabbard.

I'm under the impression that if you apply for even low level positions in the CIA, NSA, etc. they interview almost everyone who ever knew you well. The article says that they are a "middle class" family. I guess in current parlance that means families with a net worth between 1 and 10 million dollars and who are headed only by deputy directors. This seems to be a "rank has its privileges" situation.

Bro should have just started a podcast.

The Trump administration looks within agencies elevate their supporters to the top.

She was appointed in 2024, under the Biden Administration.

she knew...............and she..............

Very sketchy.

What an asshole he was.

Far beyond time for that useless money pit to be dissolved. More proof that JFK was right about it.

Been a red flag for a security clearance.

Add a suspended sentence for public lewdness and a pardon for insurrection and you're on your way to the top.

yup

My mind went sideways in adolescence and young adulthood.

When I was 21 my parents had no idea where I was or what sorts of trouble I was getting into. I'd pretty much worn them out. They no longer had the energy or the financial resources to deal with my kind of crazy.

Fortunately I survived, albeit with some significant PTSD. Somehow I'd managed to avoid the worst sorts of human predators and self-destructive tendencies.

I'd started talking to my parents again by the time I was 25 but I never told them my worst stories.

That's probably why I'm not seeing any deep conspiracies here. Various sorts of mental illness were common in my family and we were very good at hiding them.

We all hid stuff from our parents. But in his case, his mom knew that he was fighting for the Russians.

Imagine if Oswald's mother was CIA Deputy Director.

I've known people from very devout and religious parents who went full on bore against it. Eventually, the hypocrisy overwhelms the logic. Could have this been similar? Too much patriotism and indoctrination? I'm amazed that I still came out as a believer. Granted, nothing like my parents or rest of family.
