    The “national security community” is a festering, incestuous glob of delusional operatives who are almost totally immune to democratic accountability because they have infested both parties at equal rates

        Don't you think it's absurd how Soviet/Chinese/Cuban involvement is a complete non-entity when we talk about US intervention in Latin America in the late 20th century? It's complete revisionism.

        They should have disbanded after we won the Cold War, instead they just moved on to terrorism.

        I don't know how delusional they are -- I think they pretty much know what they are doing, but are utterly cynical in depicting their sleazy actions as somehow serving the interests of "democracy," "freedom," etc. They are simply secret police agencies for the oligarchy.

        The issue is we don't know who's in the national security community. For example, Ilhan Omar's questioning of Elliott Abrams implied he supports national interest over human rights, but she's also supported one interpretation of the Venezuelan crisis *as a foreigner.*pic.twitter.com/QOUrBILWSZ

        It's pick your style of interventionism with the left & right in the US. In these examples, Omar's implies she's in favor of rule of law for the people, then she *supports one side of a constitutional crisis as a foreigner to Venezuela*. The Supreme Court didn't even rule that!

        Yep. Stating the obvious. But never underestimate the value of stating the obvious, ... especially in a nation of clueless nincompoops who eagerly devour every scrap of nicely packaged codswallop fed to them 24/7.
