This admin was a "perfect storm" of incompetence, stupidity, hubris, scandal, cronyism, greed and incuriousness. I maintain that only this group of criminal-like people could've gotten us into this position.

it really does amaze me how many people i know don't "get" the above - really, kinda bewildering? what really amazes me is that there has been zero accountability. really pretty amazing time in history. 50 years from now i can't imagine what the record will tell! i can accept the fact that elected leaders took a course of action (right wrong or indeffernt) but for there to be no accountability for the fallout just really blows me away.

...yet some sexual mis conduct is career ending?

just take impact vs. accountabilty of thoose two things as isolated legacy and we truely do live in a f'd up world

the above is no slander to the people who have worked to make the best in either of the above situations they have been subjected to.

i find the moral argument at the end of the "odessa files" movie rather compelling.

but i am a big fan covert ops
