Let’s not pretend the democrats are blameless here either. After 30+ years of framing *every* GOP attempt at congressional oversight as frivolous partisanship, with assists from their media allies (and all too frequently, GOP backbenchers looking for exposure), it’s not at all clear that a more-functional Republican Party would be able to gain traction on legitimate issues.

Way to try to turn this debacle around on Republicans.

The fact of the matter is that this entire White House is full of clown-shoe wearing stand-ins for responsible adults. Cocaine in the White House? Check. Dogs biting secret service agents? Chinese spy balloons flying over and men in dresses showing their fake tits on the White House lawn? Check, check and check.

Austin was a four-star general. He knew better. He picked his staff, they should have known better. And now they are the ones investigating themselves. Hmm...I wonder how that will turn out for everyone involved?

And no staff churn? Have you looked at Kamala Harris' staff turnover? (No pun intended.) Wasn't Ron Klain ousted for Zientz and now people are quitting in droves over the Israel\Gaza debacle?

All this happy talk isn't going to fix reality. This "Administration" is a failure.

Look on the bright side of this. At least the DOD is better at keeping secrets than the SEC was about keeping bitcoin, ETF secret.

One more example of why comity is more important the Constitution when it comes to running the country.
