    I lived in Saudi Arabia pre 9-11, and when Sadaam was getting Scudsy, they had people come from the embassy that gave my parents a card with instructions on what to do if there was a war. Part of that was a phone number where they could call anywhere in the country, and if you couldn’t follow the instructions they’d send someone to collect you.

    Man this is fucking pathetic seeing our government this fucking incompetent.

      If competent people in so many departments got purged, can we still call this incompetent? I think it’s about time we move over to malice.

        Malice would be if they could do the jobs but refused. Incompetence stems from malicious removals, but it is incompetence because the people working are, in fact, incapable of doing the job.

          This is the result of eliminating those not loyal to Trump. Unfortunately incompetence and blind loyalty are closely related traits.
