His Bully Is Showing (Again)

Donny illustrates his dislike of anyone that questions his moronic decisions…..he illustrates just how infantile and pathetic he truly is….

Just this week he had to show his ass……

A video of an exchange between President Trump and a female reporter late last week is gaining renewed traction because of the president’s blunt cutoff of “Quiet, piggy.” As USA Today reports, it happened aboard Air Force One on Friday. The reporter asked Trump about his name coming up in the Jeffrey Epstein files, and the president downplayed his link to Epstein. Another reporter began asking a question on a different topic, but the first reporter kept going with a follow-up question. At which point, Trump pointed at her and said, “Quiet, quiet piggy,” per Deadline.

The Guardian notes that the exchange didn’t draw much attention at first, but a backlash has been brewing among other journalists. “Disgusting and degrading,” tweeted former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson. “Disgusting and completely unacceptable,” wrote CNN anchor Jake Tapper alongside a clip of the incident. The female reporter works for Bloomberg News, and neither she nor the news organization has responded to the insult publicly.

Why has Bloomberg not defended their employee?

Uncle Don was not finished belittling journalists….

President Trump denounced ABC News’ Mary Bruce as a “terrible reporter” Tuesday and threatened the network’s license to broadcast after she asked him three sharp questions at the White House. The network’s chief White House correspondent was among reporters let into the Oval Office to question the president and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the AP reports. She asked Trump whether it was appropriate for his family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while he was president.

  • Before he could answer, she directed a question to the Saudi leader: “Your Royal Highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? And the same to you, Mr. President.”
  • After asking Bruce who she worked for, Trump called ABC “fake news” and defended his family’s business operations in Saudi Arabia. The president dismissed the US intelligence finding that the prince likely had some culpability in the 2018 killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi kingdom. He said “a lot of people didn’t like” Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen and a Virginia resident. For his part, Prince Mohammed said it had been “painful” to hear about Khashoggi’s death, Reuters reports. “We’ve improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that,” he said. “And it’s painful and it’s a huge mistake.”
  • Trump later criticized Bruce for asking the prince a “horrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question.” He laced into her after a third query, about why the White House is waiting for congressional action to the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein. “Why not just do it now?” Bruce asked.
  • It’s not the question that I mind,” Trump said. “It’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It’s the way you ask these questions.” After addressing the Epstein question, he returned to Bruce, saying that “people are wise to your hoax.” “I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong,” he said. “And we have a great (FCC) commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that because I think when you come in and you’re 97% negative to Trump. And then Trump wins the election in a landslide. That means, obviously, your news is not credible. And you’re not credible as a reporter.”

Basically Donny had this to say about the assassination….”Shit happens” (paraphrased)

This ‘person’ is losing it…..maybe has already lost it….recently he went on a tear about a fish sandwich….

President Donald Trump interrupted his own scrambled attempt to elucidate his affordability pitch to talk about his favorite sandwich.

“I like the fish,” said a hoarser-than-usual Trump while speaking at the McDonald’s National Impact Summit in Washington Monday night. He waved his hand and released a throaty hiss, ostensibly to mime the fish he liked.

“I like it. You could do a little bit more tartar sauce though, please. Seriously. I hate when I say, ‘Do you have any tartar sauce? Do you understand that? Yes, he understands that.’”

Who gives a crap about his damn sandwich…..he cannot stay on topic….

His mind is wandering or quite possibly gone.

The CIA’s Drug Trade

It seems the CIA just canno0t keep its fingers out of the drug trade….now they are involved in the opium production…..

The US is deploying aggressive—and very public—methods these days in its war on international drugs. It’s a sharp contrast to a secret tactic used years ago in Afghanistan that the Washington Post is revealing for the first time. It seems the CIA secretly dropped modified seeds on poppy fields between 2004 and 2015, with the goal of making the resulting heroin less potent. The covert operation, run by the CIA’s Crime and Narcotics Center, was so secretive that many senior officials in the Pentagon and State Department were unaware it existed.

And did it work? The best answer seems to be, kind of. “There was a sense that it worked, but maybe over time, it worked less well,” one former US official familiar with the program tells the newspaper. It was also expensive to run, a big factor in why it ended—”the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze,” is how the official puts it. Still, he calls it “an example of creative, out-of-the-box thinking by the agency. … It was dealing with a problem in a non-kinetic, nonmilitary way.”

Throughout the broader US-led counter-narcotics campaign, American agencies disagreed on the best strategy, with proposals ranging from aerial herbicide spraying to buying up the Afghan crop for pharmaceutical use. The CIA’s secret seed operation took place amid these debates, but official assessments ultimately concluded that no US or allied effort led to lasting reductions in Afghan poppy cultivation or opium production. Read the full story, which notes that the seeds were not believed to have been modified genetically. Instead, they were selectively bred to be less heroin-friendly.

Is this one of their famous ‘cover stories’?

The agency’s history tells a different story…..they have not always been part of the War on Drugs…..they actually were involved in the distribution to help pay for their covert operations.

I am not convinced that they are not part of the opium trade.

How about you?  Does this give one confidence that the CIA is acting in a way that will help the war on drugs?
