Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Isn't she literally a U.S. intelligence asset though?

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 1 points 2 hours ago

I can't decide whether it would be funnier for her to get confirmed or not. Either way, some group of extremely annoying people is going to be crying about it, so it's kind of a win-win.

Intelligence officials are suggesting they will resign.

“Cozying up to Putin as well as to Bashar al-Assad shows she doesn't have the type of perspective needed for someone who is going to head up these 18 intelligence agencies,” said Obama’s CIA director John Brennan

"head up these 18 intelligence agencies" is such a certificed American Empire™ beyond-parody phrase.

18 that they can't deny exist. It's probably twice that.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 5 points 3 hours ago

I think there's a point where that stuff is a distinction without a difference, whether something is a sub-organization of an existing thing or it's own separate thing. The fact that there are 18 is pointless by itself. Just have one! But it is what it is, you can't just reorganize and consolidate and move things around constantly because then no work can get done.

Trump is putting her in power as protection against who-must-go
