This is all assuming Thune allows the recess. And looking at his background and his actions and words during and since the first Trump presidency I think there's a pretty good chance he doesn't and throws a wrench into Trumps plans to be able to make a bunch of recess appointments.

Thune pretty openly hates Trump.
This power dynamic is completely lost on Marco Rubio.

That's Little Marco to you.

I typically don't want a DNI that spouts Russian propaganda, especially during a time in which Russia is showing some pretty serious aggression while also attacking us through less kinetic means.

So no, I really, really don't like the Tulsi pick. And none of my friends in the military nor my uncle who was in the FBI are particularly pleased about it either.
Well, I've got no love for the 3-letter agencies so the FBI being displeased only makes me approve of the selection.

Figured Syria would be the issue for most. But I've had a different experience with the few vet friends I've talked to, they don't hate it.

My friends are active duty so that explains the disconnect there. I could give two shits about Syria or the middle east in general.

Tulsi is as much a Russian intelligence asset as Trump is, they'll be dancing in the Kremlin if she's confirmed. She'll also be the least effective DNI in history because virtually no one in any of our intelligence agencies is going to have any respect for her or her orders.

I want to laugh, but this also makes me so angry. Like, not at you, just on principle. Like how I would imagine a Muslim would feel if Trump were implied to be Muslim.

Well I know, and I was saying that you and Hoover aren't exactly simpatico even though you would both agree that DiCaprio did Hoover somewhat of a glow up in that movie.
