Donald Trump’s future NSA director met with Austrian party founded by Nazis

Not very comforting news.

The leader of Austria’s Nazi-founded Freedom Party has signed a cooperation agreement with Russia’s ruling party — only weeks after meeting with Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, who will soon be national security adviser to President-elect Donald Trump. This muddies the waters as to the United States’ place in a geopolitical world that could be dominated by Russia in the near term.




Heinz-Christian Strache, the leader of the Freedom Party, announced that he had signed the agreement with Putin’s own United Russia party on his Facebook page, The New York Times reported on Monday. The announcement also mentioned that Strache had visited Flynn a few weeks earlier in Trump Tower. The cooperation agreement itself includes plans for collaboration between United Russia and the Freedom Party on economic, business, and political projects over the next five years.

Michael Flynn is a national security adviser, he is NOT going to be the future director of the National Security Agency.

Anyway, it is alarming that Flynn met with this guy. Flynn is the one guy that Trump has picked that I have deep reservations about. The rest of his cabinet picks are solid, some are spectacular.

You think Tillerson is good....you will have to explain that! Also Mitch McConnell's wife.

Going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Tillerson's relationship with Putin appears to be a bit cozy, it's true. He's likely a good negotiator and a shrewd analyst of people. Let's see what happens. Elaine Chao as transportation secretary appears to be a payback appointment. The disappointment is that Trump said he wouldn't appoint lifelong politicians; the good news is that she's experienced. I'm trying to think what the transportation department actually does and am coming up with blanks.

Enemy of the people perhaps.... Patronage, Patronage, Patronage
