I’m dreadfully sorry Adam, but there’s nothing left for it. I’m afraid you’re going to have to cut his head off.

“Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell,” Another prime example.

This is dreadfully off topic, but for those of us who revere Monty Python’s FC and the Piranha Bros. sketch, the inspiration for the “Chief Inspector Harry “Snapper” Organs” character has died at age 95 of Covid-19.

What else would you expect from an “Acting” DNI who works at the pleasure of the imbecile Trump, neither of whom have any understanding whatsoever of the role or importance of National Intelligence. Looks to me like Trump is angling for another impeachment effort. He certainly deserves it . . . . as do the American people.

Expect to see a 25% drop in GDP and 25% unemployment by this time next year folks.
