Senate Confirms John Ratcliffe as New Director of National Intelligence

A friend says, "Boy, it looks like Senators were really eager to get Ric Grennel out of his job as acting DNI."

Ratcliffe should be okay, though he has very big shoes to fill.

It is, and I say this non-ironically, straight fire.

Enough is fucking enough.

281 I transcribed it for those who can't watch:

Carlson: Do you know anybody who trusts the government anymore?
There's a reason for that.
And by the way, it's not just Democrats you should blame. The vast majority of the Russian collusion investigated happened during the first two years of this administration. Who ran the government then?
At the time, Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and every single committee by definition. They had the power to expose this hoax and shut it down, but the did not. Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and Richard Burr and so many other of the useless Senate Republicans. Total phonies. They didn't really do anything.

(moves to a supercut)
Newsreader 1: Richard Burr is calling Don Trump Jr. back.
Newsreader 2: Richard Burr - who's well-respected - he doesn't want to be lied to. He wants get to the bottom of what happened.
Newsreader 3: Republican Richard Burr had served the President's son with a subpoena.
Newsreader 1: Can you explain why the Republicans would want to do that?
Newsreader 4: Gowdy disputes Trump's "spy" claim

Dan Bongino: I think Gowdy's appearance was disgraceful. According to Gowdy, the FBI ran it by the book, how the Americans wanted them to run the investigation. Really? Give me a break.

Newsreader 5 (to Gowdy) : You said, "I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what Americans would want them to do ..."
Newsreader 6 (to Gowdy) : There was no "spy." Have you seen any evidence of that?
Gowdy (to the press) : I have not. I think you would want the FBI to find out if there was any validity to what those people were saying.

Gowdy (to the press) : I think the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do.
Gowdy (to the press) : The FBI did exactly what we would want them to do.

Gaetz (to the press) : The number one question I get asked by Americans is "why has no one gone to jail and been held accountable?" It was Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy that wouldn't give us that subpoena power. We didn't send out a single subpoena. Not one.

Graham (to Hannity) : I supported the Mueller investigation because I didn't know.
Hannity: Senator, we're talking about a shredding of constitutional law, due process, that we would ever have.

Graham (in session, to Wray) : So you say that Mueller's "a good guy," right?
Wray: That is my experience, yes.
Graham: And you will do anything necessary to protect him from being, uh, interfered with?"
Wray: Absolutely.

Hannity (to Graham) : Where's Director Wray, though? I've got a lot of people yelling at me, telling me he's not doing his job.

Graham (to the press) : Somebody that every American should trust, Mr. Mueller ...
McConnell (to the press) : Bob Mueller was an ... excellent appointment. He will go wherever the facts lead him. He has great credibility.

Bartiromo (to Graham) : People want you to move on this, Senator. Are you going to do it?
Graham: Yeah, but I told you and I'll tell you again ...

Carlson: Total phonies. They tell you they're representing you, but don't. Explain why they didn't really do anything to stop the derailment of America while it was in progress."

True:

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Many will disagree, but @FoxNews is doing nothing to help Republicans, and me, get re-elected on November 3rd. Sure, there are some truly GREAT people on Fox, but you also have some real "garbage" littered all over the network, people like Dummy Juan Williams, Schumerite Chris...

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
....Hahn, Richard Goodstein, Donna Brazile, Niel Cavuto, and many others. They repeat the worst of the Democrat speaking points, and lies. All of the good is totally nullified, and more. Net Result = BAD! CNN & MSDNC are all in for the Do Nothing Democrats! Fox WAS Great!
