Statement by Former CIA Director Brennan:
Warning to righties, 'cognitive dissonance zone' ahead.
1.) Cognition required......ability to read and comprehend complex sentences and coherent paragraphs. Do NOT proceed Hot, Poem and free range righty nincompoops who struggled with grammar school level English and who flamed out badly around the sophomore level of HS.....If that far. LOL!
2.) Dissonance. Too lazy to look it up?
It's what reasonably well educated and emotionally mature people 'feel' when confronted with information, informed opinions, that not only contradict their beliefs but disprove them as well.
Phew, it was a struggle for you to read, re-read that far, huh?
Proceed no further, if you don't get 1 and 2, much less if you don't believe that their sum = 3.

Quote:"Taking a knee during the national anthem shows respect for the flag and for all those who fought and died for it and, at the same time, concern about problems within American society that need to be addressed.
Pejorative and caustic comments about the practice show a disregard for one of the most important foundational principles of our great Nation - freedom of expression - as well as ignorance of the corrosive impact of conscious and unconscious racial and class bias within our society.
It is at times like this that government officials demonstrate that they either have or sorely lack the leadership qualities and values that are needed and expected by the American people.
And at all times, the primary responsibility of the President of the United States is to do everything possible to safeguard lives of the American citizens, which is why Mr. Trump should have laser-like focus on mitigating the catastrophic damage of Hurricane Maria on the people of Puerto Rico ."
A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light coherently; which is why describing any action of Trump as coherent is sadly mistaken and over optimistic.
The following is for you, Shade. LOL!

6. Good. Deep state coming after Trump.
Might not always like the CIA, but the CIA really hates the Russia hack. It is treason, whereas kneeling during the national anthem is a visible yet harmless act of protest.
