I don't have a big problem with her being the CIA head.

I admire anyone who thinks they can survive this PResidency -- lol.

What's the record -- can't count Jared and Ivanka they aren't getting paid.....

Who is still standing?

an ar15 is NOT an assault weapon

define (you want a ban/regulation) of what an assault weapon is

everyone of these ? is was an ar15 could have....with the exception of caliber size (and even that too)

is it caliber size
is it magazine(round storage) size
is it semi-auto
is it a handguard to protect the hands from a hot barrel
is it that it can have a scope mounted
is it that it can have a bipod mounted
is it because its (as the rolling stones said) Painted Black


nearly everyone of those option is available on nearly every weapon...to include handguns

the only one that is not available on nearly every weapon is: and its NOT available on the ar15 without an ILLEGAL mod....is it full auto

the ar15 is available:
in different calibers
in different magazine(round storage) size
in different styles of handguard to protect the hands from a hot barrel
in different scope mounts
in different bipod mounted
in different colors

nearly every rifle has those different options,,,over 65% of ALL rifles are semi

so if YOU are going to say BAN assault weapons LIKE the ar15...you are meaning nearly all rifles....AND HANDGUNS...... so make a definition otherwise you ARE SAYING ban them all..including handguns and pump shotguns


so which is it ...ban an UNDEFINED set of weapons(which really means ban all).. or maintain our constitutional rights that shall no be infringed

That increase her qualifications.

Funny how the liberals who engage in toxic identity politics would normally claim sexism, against a white patriotically dominated society. Yet in this case the woman is thrown to the wolves because she does not fit the socialist/feminist/communist agenda.

Way to keep the leftist hypocrisy going for everyone else to be educated by.

"n Zubaydah's case, the torture didn't even work."

I challenge your assertion that the enhanced interrogation methods used were "torture"

In MANY cases enhanced interrogation methods DID work.

If you want to find out about REAL torture, read about what the Japanese, Germans and Viet Cong did.

Putting woman's panties on someone head is NOT torture as some claim.

OUR methods of waterboarding is DIFFERENT then what the Japanese, etc, used.

The PURPOSE of war is to WIN "by all means possible".

To beat he enemy into submission and he gives up.

War is NOT a "game" to be played by a certain set of Marquis of Queensbury rules.

"War is hell" as they say.

And some wonder why we can't have honest ADULT discussions on the issues.

And littering does NOT cost military people their LIVES.
