We're so f*cked

no, saz is right, this should all be bombshell at the end, not a faucet left running until the tub fills. it's not even a drip. it is concerning because this practice will lead to serious disillusionment and people just selling information to enemies. the leakers themselves should ALSO be prosecuted, even if they are acting like "whistleblowers". this means that the intelligence community has to (and most certainly is) devoting resources to find the leaks, which means their resources are going to skip over things that might be important threats because we are so worried about our own house.

Fine. Follow normal procedures and protocols. Let it take a couple years behind the scenes. Let the partisanship of Congress drag it out.

In the meantime? US allies distance themselves from US. Trade pacts destroyed. Budgets ruined. Rule of law scaled back. Constitutional constraints on executive power tested to the max.

Remember: Hillary lost because of Comey, Sanders, sexism, racism, the media, bad weather, undercooked fish tacos, etc.

Saz, you are talking to people who don't even understand why Clinton lost, you can't seriously expect them to comprehend the nuances of national security, the importance of duty, or the nature of US intelligence (which has become completely untethered from the Constitution and can no longer be trusted in the slightest).

These guys even had the nerve to blame the electoral college system for their loss, even though how it works and what is does has been known for centuries. They are just the flip side of Trump voters. They aren't as evil, but they are just as ignorant in their own way.

You guys are just like Trump: always have to be the alpha even when it makes you look like a dumbass or a pompous bastard. I said and did nothing to deserve that verbal assault.
