23. Careless and irresponsible is one way to put it
Fri Oct 6, 2023, 12:15 PM

Criminal is another way, and if we had just one system of justice in this country, the defendant would be looking at the world through iron bars. This is the problem with installing a totally ignorant tyro in the Oval Office. He doesn't know or care for the rules, he's an authority on everything unto himself, and since nobody in his family has any governmental or military experience at all, he's simply ignorant of his responsibilities (which is no excuse). When someone points out his failings, he rants and raves about how unfair everything is and simply walks away from the mess he's made.

You're 100% right: Putin has all our top secrets now, and our intelligence agencies will be working for years to undo even some of the damage the defendant's administration caused.
