I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power.
In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.

1. The benefit of Trump's "shock and awe" approach to governance is that there is so much going on that brazen corruption goes virtually unnoticed.
