The Deep State Goes to War with President-Elect, Using Unverified Claims, as Democrats Cheer

I never, ever thought I'd be agreeing with Glenn Greenwald. Yet here I am. I feel faint, I'd best go lie down...

You poor dear -- I'll be along with some chamomile tea directly. Ponder the stopped clock as we all hope it's only this once.

#1 I never, ever thought I'd be agreeing with Glenn Greenwald.

You still don't have to. This article is trying to sell a false idea that Obama appointed IC supervisors' opposition to Trump is based on their principled opposition to Russia. Ask yourself: if Trump was a russophobe like McCain - would they support him?

Depends. Part of it is the "mentality of the priesthood"; thou shall not question the Pharisees. That's a lot more intractable than what you've alluded to - the politics of the IC individual leadership and ranks.

#3 thou shall not question the Pharisees

IMO, it's "thou shall not question the tribal elders" - the left are a tribal culture.

#4 >the left are a tribal culture

I'm actually coming to the conclusion it's a form of hypo-autism that's just as damaging.

#5 There is something to what you say because one of their faith's major tenets is "we are the smartest". However, I believe that it's not so much stupidity as a certain mental outlook - are you familiar with Campbell's TRIBESMAN, BARBARIAN, AND CITIZEN?
