Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Christiane Amanpour referenced it this morning, a quote by Goebbels,
"It will always remain one of democracy's best jokes that it provided its deadly enemies with the means by which it was destroyed."
