(3,635 posts)38. 9/11 happened many months after W was installed.
They had more than enough time but ignored the info the Clinton admin handed down to them (similar to how Trump admin ignored the pandemic playbook Obama left for them).
Repubs spent years trying to bring down Bill for a bj, thus distracting the gov't from dealing with terrorism etc. The idea that they 'cared' about national security is a joke. Clinton/Gore admin kept us safe while they did not.
Repubs suck - amazing how anybody still thinks they're good for the economy, war and peace, etc. They are only good for lining the pockets of the 1 percent and making racists and theocrats feel good about themselves.
