Don't you have to have intelligence to be director of national intelligence?

Pulte is nothing but a nepo-baby who's only there bc of his FINANCIAL support of felon Trump. He's a miserable failure at FHFA. The incompetence within this regime is perpetual.

Yes. But remember that the Dictator Dimwit in the Oval Office has NO intelligence, so it's easy for him to appoint all these people who have NO intelligence to those positions.

I corrected the mistake in the headline sentence: "Trump appointed Bill Pulte, a man with zero intelligence [ ], as Acting Director of National Intelligence"

When it happens, what are the chances we’ll know in a timely fashion?

Michael Wolff predicts we will hear quickly once he passes. States will not be on a ventilator because he has to die a strong heroic death for his base.

David Lee's avatar

Ask Elon Musk. He'll know before anyone else.

I wonder how long they could hide it? They've got this new person who can post "Trump-like" insane rants and images on Social Media, and Miller and Vought run everything already. They could prop his body up "taking a nap" during a meeting now and again, just to "prove" he is alive.

Well WB., They sure have hidden where their NJersy 7th district rep is. Tom Kean Jr. hasn't been heard or seen since April. And today's NJ's primary. Wish I had a job where I got paid even if I went missing.

That's what's so infuriating. He hasn't done 💩 in months. Has missed over 100 votes. And is still collecting his paycheck, with no apparent feeling that he should explain to his constituents where he has been.

ZERO- if it happens there will be an auto pen spectacular. On pardons and crimes in form of EO’s.

What's the problem with all the singers canceling? He has a cabinet full of clowns! Make them perform! Hegseth can do his drunk tank routine...oops...I meant dunk tank...RFKjr can give a talk on which jeans are best for working out...Rubio can give a seminar on proper shoe-fitting...Gabbard could give a class on how to color one streak of your hair...shoot, gnoem might even come back and give a class on dog-training...oops, I guess "shoot" was the wrong word to use right there...but you get the picture!!

Linda Harris's avatar

He already "makes them perform" everyday.

Ooooohhhhhhhh.........perfect and concise summary, Jerri! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Ben for making sure the actual truth about this evil regime gets out on a daily basis. Great job!

Least qualified administration ever.. none of them are qualified for their positions.. Everyone thought Rubio was, but once he started lying for his boss to cover things up, he lost the ability to make the correct decisions. When you lie repeatedly you get confused about what lie you told last which is what is happening with this administration so they are all getting their stories mixed up.

While i do not doubt that Bibi got yelled at by The Golden Idle, we ignore the likelihood that SIR! will forget what he wanted, what he yelled, or that they even spoke. The fact that their argument leaked smells like a planted story. Disinformation to assuage the growing numbers of anti Bibi folks are getting angry and worried about the permanent harm Israel is doing to this flat earth. A distraction on a scale never seen before. The best distraction ever!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't Trump disappear at the beginning of every month? I thought I heard this last month as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wendy B.'s avatar

Not for six days. The only other time he disappeared for multiple days in a row was last October.

We're getting Truth Social posts because someone else is writing them.

Natalie Harp write trump's posts.

Steve's avatar

Which means he sleeps day and night.

Debbie Garcia's avatar

Sounds about right.

Steve's avatar

Natalie Harp is.

io bonini's avatar

You know S., Harp. What a perfect name for someone who spends all her day and nights harping about shit.

LHS's avatar

Sometimes I want to change her last name to Harpie. 🤭 But I try to maintain some sense of decorum. Try.

LHS's avatar

Exactly. And yes, it's Natalie Harp. He writes and posts very little himself. She makes all the outrageous posts and he simply "approves" them.

io bonini's avatar

I know this will never happen...but I would love it if all these really fucked up people would be made to go thru psych exams before they were put into Gitmo.

I mean who do you know who acts like these people?

Susan Booth's avatar

Has anyone checked the whereabouts of Air Force One?

Jean Conley's avatar

That's a good idea. The military should do that. However, with the Dump in control of the military--well--you know.

io bonini's avatar

Hey SB., Just checked...AF 1 was last seen on the radar headed to;

"Putin's Palace" (officially known as the Residence at Cape Idokopas) is an Italianate palace complex located on the Black Sea coast near the resort city of Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The massive, heavily secured compound is famous for its extreme opulence, underground bunkers, and vast surrounding restricted territory.

Is it near Epstein Island.? *cackles*

National intelligence has become the oxymoron of the century.

“When the reporter followed up by asking why, if Trump is in such perfect health, he keeps going back for more checkups, Oz said: “He likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day.”

Which begs for the second follow-up, which these overpaid scribblers never ask;

“I will be reporting your answers in my next filing. Why do you insult the intelligence of my readers with answers like that? Do you think we’re all so stupid that you can get away with this? Why are you covering up the ill health of the president and why do you think that serves the best interests of the American people?

Jean Conley's avatar

Oz is excellent at malpractice.

LHS's avatar

He used to be a respected cardiac surgeon. In fact, he was the surgeon for blues guitarist Johnny Clyde Copeland. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1996/06/02/blues-mends-a-broken-heart/ Oz threw that all away years ago to make money peddling snake oil. So now he's just a joke.

Kevin Wood's avatar

AXIO’s reporting has zero credibility at this point. They just push out whatever talking points the administration wants them to.

🤔 Do we have “Weekend At Bernie’s” US 🇺🇸 government where the Commander + Chief is no longer physically able and mentally capable to lead a country but the Republican Party + Cabinet are too afraid to acknowledge and disclose to the public this dire situation so they prop Trump up with strings and drugs and every now and again put him in front of cameras as proof of life = WHO THE FUCK IS REALLY RUNNING OUR COUNTRY 🇺🇸 AMERICA?!

Robert Goldbach's avatar

Stephen Miller and Mr. Vought (Office of Management and Budget). It's always the people whose jobs no one can explain.

I think medical after 50 looks a lot different from medical under 50 in general. You don't have to be on death's door to be seeing specialists, more frequent visits for autoimmune conditions etc. However, does the public have a right to know? I would say I wouldn't automatically assume the worst, but yes in his position the white house should be more forthcoming about the visits.
