While checking out some tweets by a favorite on Twitter, Rob Reiner, I noticed he retweeted something by former CIA director John Brennan. It was powerful and what I consider to be on point. I read some more posts by Brennan and found his previous tweets to be equally robust. Here are eight nine tweets I chose that were posted between September 16 through November 27. I can safely say he speaks for millions.
Brennan’s latest tweet… (Updated to November 30, 2018)
Oh, burn, Donald...
A great way to honor our troops and, while indirectly derogating Trump...
It’s about accountability—and again Brennan nails it...
Sometimes it’s easy to forget when we were respected by leaders and countries around the world.
And tomorrow he’ll tell us how he really feels...
Vote we did...
I love this man...
For more information about John Brennan, here is a condensed version of CNN’s timeline.

March 17, 2018 - After Trump tweets about the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe,
Brennan blasts the President, tweeting, "When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history."
June 1, 2018 - In an
op-ed published in The Washington Post, Brennan accuses Trump of "lying routinely to the American people without compunction, intentionally fueling divisions in our country and actively working to degrade the imperfect but critical institutions that serve us."
Good to have him on our side.
