    All government career climbers are politicians, and vice versa. This was an amusing interaction with the acting chief of the SS.

      I'm too lazy to watch - what started this brouhaha?

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        tl;dw: this is from a hearing about the SS failures around presidential assassination attempts. The congressman presents a recent picture taken at 9/11 ground zero, with Biden and Harris and this SS director right next to them. The congressman asks whether the Special Agent in Charge is supposed to be next to them (which the director is not), and the director gets belligerent and starts screaming about how he was at 9/11 and what a tragedy that was. The senator then accuses him of just wanting face time or time in front of the camera, and they both scream at each other for a few minutes. It's great.

          OK - that sounds great. I'll watch later.

          Nothing like a pair of prima-donna politicians preening.

            I thought this congressman's monologue/question was quite good. Talking about a culture of mediocrity at the SS and how that should be anathema, from his experience in elite cultures.

              Why do both of these video’s thumbnails have an overlay of AP calling the election for Trump as if that is breaking news?

              You were warned.

                That's something youtube does to prevent misinformation. They add it to any video their AI tells them is political in nature.

                  That’s weird. Especially the way they phrase it.

                    I knew a policeman who said 'Never trust a man who dyes his hair.'

                    I was only joking
