22. OTOH, maybe it's not SO BAD that true professionals are in charge ... ones not subject to the whims

Of the f***ing IDIOTS who voted for 45.

The fact that this unqualified asshole won is pretty much de-facto proof that this 'electoral college' system we have in the US has utterly outgrown it's usefulness.

Thankfully, despite the rampant voter suppression, the population can still be trusted to come up with the correct result, but the system as a whole appears to be no longer viable.

For my part, I'm fairly glad there's still 'career' professionals in some semblance of a position to offset the FUCKING STUPIDITY ... of the Drumpf voters.

Way it looks now, we'd be a world of shit without these professionals, and I'm not sure we want to see Drumpf 'shake it up' too much.

Of course, back when they 86'd Kennedy, did the whole MKUltra stuff ... things looked a bit different ... but at this particular moment ... I have to admit, I may be starting to 'see the wisdom'. These entrenched, secretive bureaus, having the power that they do ... might just be our saving grace ... ironically enough ...
