Huge victory against sexism!

There was a landmark victory for gender diversity today, and if you don't agree then you are a sexist!

WashExaminer: Dems sexist to oppose Gina Haspel as first woman to lead CIA
Fox: CIA Nominee Gina Haspel does not deserve to be a target in the left's 'war on women'

Fox: Gina Haspel confirmed as CIA director, first woman to lead agency

NYPost: Gina Haspel confirmed as first woman to run CIA
Politico: Senate confirms Haspel as CIA's first female director
USAToday: Senate panel votes to endorse Gina Haspel as first female CIA director

I personally feel good about the fact that if I get grabbed off the street, shoved into the back of an unmarked van, and taken to a black-site, that I can be tortured by a woman.
Because that's the problem with human right violations today: not enough gender diversity.

Plus, it's good to know that young girls growing up in America can now aspire to waterboard innocent people until they have a mental breakdown, attach electric cables to a man's testicles, and beat both men and women with rubber hoses.
This is progress people!

Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.

Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.

@The Aspie Corner
It turns out that after a full week to think about it, Bloody Gina isn't totally down with torture anymore.

“While I won’t condemn those that made these hard calls, and I have noted the valuable intelligence collected, the program ultimately did damage to our officers and our standing in the world,” Haspel wrote in the new letter. “With the benefit of hindsight and my experience as a senior agency leader, the enhanced interrogation program is not one the CIA should have undertaken.”

So a full decade after she tortured an innocent man into a mental breakdown, she's had a, sort-of, kinda, almost, change of heart.

She would do it all again, if she thought it would be good for CIA officers, and would enhance our standing in the world.

There's no getting around it, this woman is demonic. She has no functional conception of right or wrong, of good or evil. She's just another Eichmann, dutifully doing her job to the very best of her ability.

Gawd, Utah! The Mormon church just came out saying that they agreed with a study that states that medical marijuana doesn't help people with chronic pain. This means that when it's voted on most of the church members will vote against it.

This is the Mormon church staying out of our local politics! Grrr!

Is there a special place in hell for women who don't support Haspel?

Or did those women just oppose her because they wanted to hang out where the guys are?

I hear she takes real joy in her work, tormenting and maiming the vulnerable - and so, of course, she immediately sprang to mind when some of the other Psychopaths That Be (the sort who can happily act to help kill a half-million or so little kids, among others, through the infliction of deliberately enforced famine and the deprivation of life-saving medicines, in pursuit of her goals,) thought of what they'd like to do to citizens defying their edicts and refusing to embrace one of their own number to further extend their murderous agenda. I think she needs to work on herself.

Edit: failed to change a tense when changing a sentence in midstream.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

...not for her executive talent or because it was her turn, but for a very specific, very transformational purpose that has nothing to do with heading the CIA and everything to do with introducing the next power tools of social engineering for the next phase of cognitive resistance coming down the pike.

Knowing what I know now, I'd stake my life on that.

....but only she can wear the diamond-hard armor of identity politics. She's the martyr, survivor, goddess who must never be crossed or disdained — or you are a sex offender. She must be obeyed — or you have assaulted her. She must never be questioned — or you are attacking all women.

The Intelligence Agency finally has an untouchable authority at its helm, one who must never be criticised. She is empowered to lead the nation into the next phase of full spectrum surveillance and future crimes investigations.
