    That’s cool.

    When I was an intelligence analyst in the military I witnessed the President of the United States ignore the entire intelligence community when they indicated to him that there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks and there was no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq.

    Then I saw that same administration fabricate intelligence indicating the contrary

    Then I saw that same administration blame faulty intelligence when no WMDs were found, blaming the entire intelligence community in the process

    They somehow managed to ruin the entire IC’s credibility when they were right to begin with

    That was pretty unbelievable

      When I was an American I witnessed an obvious Russian agent get elected… twice, and destroy the standing of the US completely.

        It is also unbelievable that the hundreds of thousands of dead in a war built on a lie in Iraq pales in comparison to the millions around the world that will die because of Trump’s cuts to USAID alone

        Trump can kill off millions without even starting a war on false pretenses

        Like his own personal global Holodomor
