Boy these folks sure had hubris
Yes.
They sure did. Bunch of Leftist scum, they are so full of themselves, they always think they are "the smartest people in the room" and when something goes wrong, they shrug their shoulders, say something unforseen was "unexpected", and disown it and disappear.
Except in this case, what was "unexpected", what they didn't forsee, is leaving their collective asses hanging further and further out into the wind.
A delicious thing, liars filled with hubris who end up being unable to keep their lies straight.
When I did this as a kid, I got "The Belt".
Let's give them the National Belt, if we can't give them "The Rope".
