The unbelievably egregious actions of this current administration indicate that truly, they have no idea what they're doing. Evidently these people are so used to getting their way, doing whatever they want, and forcing their will onto others, they thought they were ready to foist their agenda on the world.
The world is reacting unfavorably.
Politics is a messy, complicated game -- rife with land mines -- it's impossible to somehow forge an untraveled path without blowing things up. And things have blown up. Things are blowing up. And from the looks of things, they will continue to blow up.
As a nation we are troubled. And it appears the world, full of sharks circling, smells the blood in the water.
This is what happens when we put an untested, unvetted amateur front and center on the world stage. Make no mistake, the buck stops with the President.
Time is short -- it isn't the "leaks" that need to stop -- it's the BEHAVIOR of these people. Are they that naive that they imagine they can get away with these shady shenanigans without being called out?
Our nation is watchful; our media is powerful. And we remain transparent before the world. If we can't somehow find a way to prove ourselves noble, we become instead vulnerable.
We warned our nation about electing an incompetent. Half the nation ignored us, and we have been subverted by a foreign power. This unprecedented turn of events has made us less safe than any of the limited scale terrorist attacks the President has cited.
These people in charge need to get their act together in a hurry, before events spiral completely out of control.
