    I deeply appreciate his whistle blower report. I wish someone with his level of integrity hadn’t resigned, though. Resigning means you’re done fighting. That worked as a protesting previous administration’s but means they’ll put in someone much worse in this one.

      “As a result of these events, I am put the intolerable situation of not having visibility or oversight into activities that potentially violate statues and regulations which I, as the CDO, may legally or otherwise be held accountable for should I continue in this position,” he said. “I cannot verify that agency data is being used in accordance with legal agreements or in compliance with federal requirements.”

      I mean, I get it

        Yeah, I do too. I just wish it was otherwise. I wish people with integrity could stick it out.

    Once again, another resignation paves the way to more absolute power of the authoritarians.

    Wish someone would stand up for us already.

    The depressing thing is this - even if we hold elections and Democrats get into power again, they will likely do nothing to go after all these scheming motherfuckers and arresting and imprisoning them for what they have done.

    That is one of the most infuriating things about Democrats, in my view. And it just gives the signal for Republicans to be even worse the next time they get the least amount of power again.
