A couple Republicans also made asses out of themselves, but they all put the screws to her, and I think almost every single person called on her to resign.

Also, it appears Cheatle has resigned as of this morning (Tuesday).

the replacement, ronald rowe is closer to the operational side of the organization,

again from julie kelly, a report on the failing of the service on jan 6, was likely to be released shortly,

It wasn’t just Thompson supporting this bill; nine other Democrats in the House were part of the effort.

I believe that’s eight African-American Democrats and Steve Cohen who has to pretend to be blacker than actual Black opponents in order to be reelected. Why is it that for the last 40 years or so, Black Democrats have led efforts to impeach Republican presidents? Does it benefit their constituents? Do their voters even care? Is it a way to get free publicity when a politician can’t get anything worthwhile done?

What I do think is that the whole thing shows the rottenness of our nation (and almost all Western nations). We have managed to create a system in which the entire ruling class is literally worthless. They cannot do anything. This is unusual. Historically, you got to the top either by showing you had some skills, the path being strewn with tests, or if you were born into it, you were expected to learn to rule. Remember, almost all Western aristocracies were demanded military service from their rulers, back to Rome. Not ours.

So we get people like Cheatle for whom “responsibility” and “accountability” are just words. I cannot remember who wrote it, but there was a review of one of David Brooks’s Bobos books who pointed out that an aristocracy which defines itself by its taste in food and clothing just isn’t in it for the long haul.

The Federal govt. bureaucracy is simply out of control. They do whatever they want and they understand that there will be no negative consequences for anything they do – including lying before a congressional committee – and really no oversight that has any teeth .

They are a govt. within the supposed “real” govt and they are out of control.

It is no coincidence – and I am speculating here – that the vast majority of govt. bureaucrats are democrats and always will be. They know who butters their bread.

When Chris Wray – the FBI director testifies before a Congressional committee, he too just stonewalls, as do just about everybody and anybody who testifies.
Those testifying, frankly, could give a shit. They just have to sit thru an hour or so of being questioned by folks they hate and despise, and then they can go home and collect their tax payer funded salary and benefits.

The USSR’s nomenklatura is alive and well in Washington, DC.

As an aside, I am still puzzled how the president of the USA can sign an executive order that clearly violates existing US law; I.e., ordering the borders to be wide open to anyone who crosses from Mexico.

She may be the first.
IF she is fired or resigns promptly.

I’m not holding my breath.
