Bingo.
There’s a certain point where you have to look beyond sheer incompetence and say “this is intentional… Nobody could be that f***i g stupid and incompetent…”
Maybe. But to me this is more what happens when you get regulatory agencies roaming wild with no control from an elected government. There's no one at home at the White House and all the agencies feel free to do whatever they want because no blowback directed at the White house or even at Dem Congressmen results in closer supervision. There's no President, so there's no one to control the bureaucracies.
