There is no honor among thieves and now that appears to extend to the professional thieves of information! I find myself ‘somewhat’ longing for that halcyon era when Gentlemen did not spy on one another!
Er, when was that? Before the world wars. Gentlemen spying on each other did have some upsides. Maybe we could have avoided 30 million deaths.

Short of taking them out and shooting them maybe some additional house cleaning. Except for Comey, no quarter for that traitor.

So, on one hand, watching the DemocRATS squirm and try and hide and obfuscate as more info comes out about Obama’s bag men wiretapping Trump is absolutely fascinating….they are trying so hard to spin this….gonna be an awesome Friday.
On the other hand, a catfight at the lake? Redhead versus Liberal Versus Mossad killer chick? Equally awesome vision…my money is on Sam.
There must be some mud around the lake, a good old fashioned mud wrestle?
My money is on the Redhead. I’ve know a few. Naomi doesn’t stand a chance.

Hooosh! They’ll be no talkin’ of fights. There may be secrets. There may be secrets spilled. There may even be disagreements and arguments. But “the girls” are all friends, and beyond that, they’re FAMILY, one of the strongest forces in the known universe.
I don’t usually pass on AJ stuff. This was on Drudge headlines. If true (IF)… the hearings today could be very entertaining

Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, indicated that the administration used its foreign intelligence gathering authority to spy on the discussions of Trump and his transition team by improperly unmasking the identity of Americans who were swept up in foreign electronic spying.
“What I’ve read seems to be some level of surveillance activity, perhaps legal, but I don’t know that it’s right and I don’t know if the American people would be comfortable with what I’ve read,” said Nunes, who uncovered the reports.

Wiretapping? Of course there was no wiretapping of Trump or anyone in his retinue. And no information about Trump was sent by telegraph.
But the left is between a sweat and a s**t because they forgot that illegal leaking of information damaging to conservatives is not longer a protected activity, and at the very least they have taken conversations legally gathered by listening in on foreign contacts and released U.S. contacts by name.

None of this is good even if we finally get something we can pin on Obamao… I was a collector of intel in the military decades ago, and I support this community (I sell them equipment) for some time now. Fact is USA needs a strong and UN-Political Intelligence Community to fight the real bad guys out there.
The reason for security clearances is to protect people and methods used. exposing the apparent abuse of power and assets will ruin careers and many of our successful methods. At least it is unlikely to get any of our assets killed, but this is damaging stuff to our ability to defend this nation.
Like it or hate it we NEED strong a Intelligence Community. But using those assets to spy on your fellow citizens for mere political reasons (as in not criminal or terror related) actually is a crime and should be fully prosecuted.
I know the paperwork involved in accepting a security clearance, and I know the penalties. HRC and all of those “leaking” to the MSM and Dems should be severely punished. Severely…
‘Nuff said, possibly too much said…
PS – Hate to tell you this but NO WikiLeaks is NOT GOOD, not even when it saves the USA from POTUS HRC… Secrets are secret for a reason and you do not need to know why… But those entrusted should be trustworthy…

Looks like there will be various forms of entertainment and enlightenment abounding today. We will see the bitchy whiny low-T girls in DC point fingers, scream, throw stuff (oops… Incoming…watch it…there goes the statue of Hamilton) and three Women figuring things out sensibly. All the while causing the Men who frequent DBD to … well that’s another story.
Speaking of fighting amongst the girls (I’m looking at you, Ryan) the House just pulled the O-care v.2 without a vote. Good. Trump feigned support, but I think he’s got something up his sleeve.

The Art of the Deal has many, many variations and techniques. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to get what he wants piecemeal rather than dumped in one lump like his opponents want.

Ooohhh, I’ll be in my bunk.
It’s still yesterday in AZ, and I didn’t get to look this up in time. Yesterday’s strip reminded me of this one… http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/comic/back-door/
With my same wondering from yesterday’s, where is her hair that easily drapes down near “the diamons “?
And, who can forget this clASSic DBD cartoon on back door politics

So pour a pint, sit back, and watch the fun.
You got that shit right.
There’s a BIG difference between “the girls”, friends all; and the Three Letter “Intel” Agencies, with their internecine rivalries.

Of course, Comey deflected… he more or less affirmed by refusing to affirm or deny, which the MSM reported as a denial.

A House intelligence committee investigation took a dramatic shift this week after newly disclosed intelligence reports suggested the Obama administration improperly gathered and disseminated secret electronic communications from President Trump and his transition team prior to inauguration.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, indicated that the administration used its foreign intelligence gathering authority to spy on the discussions of Trump and his transition team by improperly unmasking the identity of Americans who were swept up in foreign electronic spying.
“What I’ve read seems to be some level of surveillance activity, perhaps legal, but I don’t know that it’s right and I don’t know if the American people would be comfortable with what I’ve read,” said Nunes, who uncovered the reports.

Hey! I resemble that remark.
Speaking of fighting amongst the girls (I’m looking at you, Ryan) the House just pulled the O-care v.2 without a vote. Good. Trump feigned support, but I think he’s got something up his sleeve.
