QOTD -- Threat Assessment

“The only reason for the director of National Intelligence or the director of the CIA or the director of the FBI or the director of the National Security Agency to stay in their jobs after being publicly insulted by the president of the United States today is that they all recognize that the unstated threat to this country that did not appear in their written report is actually the president of the United States himself... And they are staying in those jobs to defend this country against the threat of the Donald Trump presidency.” -- Lawrence O'Donnell last night, after discussing Putin asset Donald "Rump" Trump's hostile reaction to the intelligence community's testimony yesterday on global threats to national security. O'Donnell also called out the effing New York Times for its pusillanimous treatment of Rump's reaction as "unusual." Our brave, truth- telling corporate media!
