DNI Nominee Avril Haines: DNI Is 'No Place For Politics Ever' | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
That’s good. Politics should not be a factor in any government branch that doesn’t call for it.
Appreciate your sentiment:) in fact, no where in the Constitution does it mention “politics” belonging in any branch of government: in fact, quite the opposite:)
This commitment will only work because Trump is no longer in power.
The hypocrisy is real. For the last 4 years, every single issue became a political drama fest, but now all of a sudden, we can’t have that.
Basically, they need to keep bidens attention to a minimum, he gets easily confused, like when he forgot the Declaration of Independence.
@Mike Ditka or when the Donald spit on the Constitution
Conspiracy theories and National Intelligence do not mix or go well together if you want to protect your country!
The UK is putting that baby Trump blimp in a museum. Seriously.😂
Go Gators : Thank you, I feel honoured!
Love biden s picks.. i hope they all get confirmed pronto, especially ms haines
Finally, actual Patriots are in charge.
I just can’t resist the excitement of seeing a woman who knows her stuff…..a really powerful woman!
😆
@William H Music 2020 😭😭😭it’s the crybaby who kept saying tRump would win 😵😵 still living in mommy’s basement?
@William H Music 2020
Troll
@William H Music 2020 Hey Willy! You excited about tomorrow? I hope you can keep up the crying until 2024.
She exudes calm in her still reflection that truth, alone, is the bedrock of any democracy.
The Department of National Intelligence really dropped the ball last 4 yrs with Donald tRump.
Look at how hateful and negative you liberals are, Even your name….just proves it even more…TDS is very real.
Funny part is, you liberals actually believe there will be “change” with biden LOL
So easily manipulated, no wonder why you liberals get bullied in public all the time….so soft.
@Mike Ditka I’m not a liberal. Putting party before country is never the answer. Donnie dropped the ball on everything.
Hey Mike ditka, how’s that trading all the draft picks just to get Ricky Williams enough money to smoke his stuff working out for you nowadays 🤣🤣🤣 BTW I’m an old man who is definitely not a liberal and even serve my country honorably and got medals for it. God bless America and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 🙏🙏🙏
If I hear Trumps name one more time I’m going to REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Remember when tRump said he trusts russia more than american intelligence agencies …
Imagine….
I LOVE Dan Coats!
Wow so this is what it feels like to have a country run by responsible adults. Feels good 😌
One of the many problems with t’rump that led him to being the worst president in history is that he could never separate his own interests from those of America. He couldn’t protect America from foreign or domestic attack because acknowledging the attack himself would make him look bad personally. Looks like the reality show president experiment failed. Time to move on. 🤔😅😂
A few more hours and the world will be rid of the orange pimple that has been on its forehead the past 4 years. Thank goodness!!!!
Thank god, experts that are dedicated to the constitution and not one man
Those are the people Donald Trump calls Deep State
About a dozen members of the National Guard have been relieved of duty ahead of the Inauguration!😳
It is difficult to believe the truth when hear it now. It sounds so odd after four years of constant lies. It will be an welcome adjustment.
Oooh. Full sentences. Experts being hired for jobs in their area of expertise. No Fox News pundits and pillow guys.
It’s good to see that logic and reality are coming back in favor.
Avril Haines has a fascinating resume/life story. She has lived outside the box, most of her life. I trust her.
I will believe her when the picture depicting the assassination of Rosie O’Donnell is taken down from the walls at the Los Angeles Police Department.
she sounds convincing 🤷🏼♀️😂 unlike donals nominees. time will tell
