And these are the people planning to rewrite the social security code base in a handful of months...

The word already means 'to break wind' in the UK, so feel free to adopt that!

Ah, so people prosecuting to vainly attempt to uphold the constitution is now going to be branded as lawfare? Great.

I do hope now is the time the CIA and FBI etc take a note from Hollywood and, as the are pushed out are setting up parallel networks

Why do they all sound like rejected Star Wars characters?

They won't need it soon, as they'll quickly run out of food to eat, too.

You don't get that grace in these positions. At these 'times of tension', if you are in a leadership role, you have a responsibility. Though I don't recall who elected him...

Which demonstrates why they should never be allowed near power again

If only there existed a system of elected representatives who could enact legislation to protect their constituents from such exploitation.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to function any more...
