Brennan unhinged: Fumes at Trump: ‘Look in the Mirror,' You're Encouraging Violence
2018-10-26
[Breitbart] Former CIA Director John Brennan accused President Donald Trump of encouraging "physical violence" Thursday after a series of apparent explosive devices were sent to prominent Democratic figures.

"Stop blaming others. Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful," Brennan wrote on Twitter in response to President Trump’s tweet in which he linked false reporting to increasing levels of anger among Americans. "Clean up your act....try to act Presidential. The American people deserve much better. BTW, your critics will not be intimidated into silence."
Brennan unhinged = Status Quo

#11  You flatter me, dear Skidmark. I just sometimes recognize what I don’t know, which gives me the happy excuse to look it up and share the results. :-)

#9  How the *bleep* did Brennan end up running the CIA? He seems... (trying to be nice)... uniquely unqualified.

#6  AlmostAnonymous5839, you are thinking of half of the Dunning-Kruger effect. As described by Wikipedia:

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.

As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."

#4  Darth Vader (Obama, not our Darth Vader) militarized deep state by paying the big $$$. Big annual bonuses from the Treasury to his Lieutenants that he set up throughout Deep State was substantial. He allowed them to make millions on book sales such as FBI head Comey and Hillary to set up her money laundering Foundation.

The black hole galaxy had never seen such gravy before.

The wee people decided to send in the Don and Princess Ivanka to say, "You're FIRED!". The top level Clingons are trying to fight the Jedi, but Junior and his co-hort Jared and the rest of the Jedi are winning the battles along with Skywalker Don.

Yesterday the Don invested 3 Million more of his own treasure to win the next decisive victory, the mid terms, in order to destroy Deep State.


May the Force be with you.

#1  Sort of missed the dialogue of Obama, Maxine, et al for the last 10 years?

It's war. You may not like it, but your choice is fight or slavery. The other side has made it so.
