#2 Thanks, Congress. I really appreciate you looking out for your interests at my expense.

Hopefully the usual miscreants got their own jugular this time.

#3 Pelosi had time to issue contempt citations against two people protected by executive privilege (another going-nowhere effort) and wanted to throw a sop to their Trial Lawyers contributors at our national security expense. Then the bitch had to get out of town for her daughter's wedding - which had a higher priority, ya know? Run this incompetent asshole out of congress!

#4 It's deliberate sabotage, not (simply) incompetance.

#5 With those accidental [clears throat] cable outages that means communications originating from one foreign location and arriving at another foreign location are most likely now transiting US routers/servers. This means that, thanks to our judiciary who've meddled into the conduct of warfare during wartime, we can not "lawfully" listen in. Thanks Donks. We'll remember. But heaven forbid the Trunks spend one penny of communicating this to the general public. Why they've got to save their ~~carryover slush~~ money for the month or two before the election when we're all inundated with noise. And then hold on to the horde for the next try, two months before the elections.

#6 It's deliberate sabotage, not (simply) incompetance.

Yeah, I figured that some time ago. I kept trying to tell myself it was just blind stupidity, and there is plenty of that too. But at some point you can't help but realize that they're deliberately sabotaging the Nation for personal and political gain.

I hope there are a lot of folks keeping score, I know I am. Someday...

First the traitors, then the enemy!

...all enemies, foreign and domestic...

#7 Whats bad is loss of continuity. A huge portion of the effort is simply acquiring a target.
