Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) did not mince words about the state of the House Republican conference on Friday, saying it's in a tough spot at the moment.
Yeah, people underestimate how crucial national relationships are to national security. Far more important, IMO, than even the alphabet intelligence agencies. (I assert this with Kennedy and his backdoor phone calls with Khruschev in mind.)
When Trump gutted the State Department and the collective knowledge of its career civil service, he gutted a large chunk of our national security. Probably because it was killing two birds with one bitter stone: fulfilling Putin’s orders AND taking a big fat dump on Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s years-long work.
He couldn’t care less that it was the heart of how the US interacts with the rest of the world, or how many allies, internal and foreign, he completely dicked in the process, or the price we will absolutely pay for that as a country, now and into the indefinite future.
