Quote Of The Day - Badge Of Honor


Former CIA Director John Brennan, responding to the despicable comments from Putin poodle and bone spur sufferer Donald "Rump" Trump that he, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former FBI Director James Comey were "political hacks," with presumably less credibility than his puppeteer, Putin:
“First of all, he was referring to us as political hacks because he was trying to delegitimize the assessment done. We did not write that assessment. It was written by the professional intelligence officers and law enforcement officers of this great country. Secondly, I feel very honored to be associated with Jim Clapper and Jim Comey in the same category. And considering the source of the criticism, I consider that criticism a badge of honor.” 
“Third, I found it particularly reprehensible that on Veterans Day that Donald Trump would attack and impugn the integrity and the uniform of those who wore it for 35 years. Who responded to the call of his country to go to Vietnam, flew in over 70 combat support missions over Vietnam, and like Senator McCain, really did put his life at risk because of this country’s national security. And to impugn Jim Clapper on Veterans Day, who has dedicated so much of his life to this country, I just find that outrageous, and I think it’s something Mr. Trump should be ashamed of, but it doesn’t seem as though in anything he does he feels any shame whatsoever.”
To feel shame, a conscience is required. That's just one of the many things missing in the rotted out shell known as Donald J. Trump.
