Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) has been confirmed as CIA director, after 14 Democrats fell in line with almost all Senate Republicans Monday night



Yep. There are those plucky dems, giving Trump a what-for.

not.

So I gather that the progressive thing to do would be to oppose Pompeo and press the White House to produce a better candidate?

But as I read the article, I found this:

Quote:

But Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, argued that although he does "not agree with some of the views that Congressman Pompeo" holds, he "convinced me that he will follow the law banning torture."


Not every Dem was so gullible:

Quote:

On the Senate floor Monday, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called Pompeo "the wrong man for the job." Wyden has been outspoken in his opposition to Pompeo, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
"On issue after issue, the Congressman has taken two, three, or four positions, depending on when he says it and who he is talking to. He has done this with surveillance, with torture, with Russia, and a number of other subjects," Wyden said.



I'm wondering why some of the most outspoken Dems across the country, were so willing to open the doors to Trump's latest fuck-up. What do they have up their sleeve? It can't be mere stupidity, or could it?

The chess pieces are moving rather peculiarly.
