I lost a whole year of my life making circles on “Gonzo Station” (at general quarters most of the time) because of the depth of this idiots’ dip-shitedness. Lost buddies in the failed rescue attemp he hastily and beligerantly pushed. I remember the veil of ineptitude of that whole cluster f*ck of a cloud lift in one day. The day Reagan was sworn into office. Being in Intel. I literally saw the Iranians backing down in a panic of mass psychological surrender. It was beautiful. He can think what he wants about Trump, but if the true depth and magnitude of his incompitance reached his ears while he is still alive, he’d die of a broken heart. I think they are sparing him out of respect for the office. If he only knew what COULD be said of him now, instead of someday (from all circles of Military and Government) he’d shut the f*ck up.
Yeah. I joined in 1988 but I remember the older guys talking about being on Gonzo Station. Yep, totally screwed up.
That’s right, people like Jimmy Carter have a whole army of people who go behind them and correct as many of their mistakes as they can. For the mistakes they can’t correct, they make sure to shield him from criticism of how screwed up his decisions were. If they can’t stop the criticism from reaching him, they talk in his ear and tell him that things HAD TO go that way and no other decision would’ve given a better outcome, a failure of one sort or another was guaranteed. Why do they do that? Because Jimmy (or Obama or whatever paraquat is in charge) is the conductor of their gravy train, they don’t want it stopping for anything. Working for a president is the ticket to a better fatter job in govt. Put up with working for the boy king for a few years and your next job is a figurehead position in charge of an agency that runs itself where you’re paid like a congressman, of course they don’t want anything derailing that.
