Erik Prince, the brother of Education Secretary (and moron) Betsy DeVos, wants to privatize our intelligence gathering apparatus because, as he puts it, they're trying to undermine the president.

In other words, after #DonaldTrump denigrated the intelligence community multiple times, #TrumpNation cannot accept the fact that the CIA, as well as other agencies, are sending up proper intelligence to the White House. Instead, they are choosing to believe federal bureaucracy - or, the so-called "deep state" - is actively trying to sabotage the Trump Administration.

Let's take this and run with the idea that Trump, as well as all republicans, wants to privatize government. Do we really believe Trump's White House will say no to this?

Terrible idea, perhaps worse than most of Trump's harebrained ideas.

Erik, I wonder who will get ALL the contracts. Yet another ploy to divert public funds into private bank accounts.

Of course, if Trump actually went to his security briefings and actually read the reports ...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
