    1. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the job of the Director of National Intelligence to assess what is and isn’t an imminent threat to the nation?

      Then he needs to bomb his circulatory system as it is (hopefully) an imminent threat to him.

      We have a job to do. Wake the fuck up.

      “–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

    4. Ubermensch much? Out of 8 billion people only one has the knowledge and wisdom to initiate war….

      Umm what?

      I’m a blue collar worker and I ask my friends and family before I make decisions.

      Do not let me decide everything off of my whims or emotions without questions.

      If you can’t laugh at yourself you can’t laugh at anyone else is such a heavy idea.

    5. Seems like total systemic failure if only one person has the authority to unilaterally make an important decision instead of a group of people

      Um, no sane president would consider running a country by themselves. It would be the mark of an educated president to take on staff who are smarter at a particular subject and then put that person in charge of that subject matter.

      Unfortunately we have a dumb president who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and refuses to put someone who is smarter than himself, in charge of anything.

    7. Ossoff missed a point he should have made. The definition of “assess” is very clear.
