Hillary Clinton on Friday excoriated President Donald Trump and his administration for their handling of the embarrassing leak of U.S. military attack plans to a journalist who was accidentally added to a Signal app text thread with other top officials this month.

“It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity,” Clinton wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.

“We’re all shocked — shocked! — that President Trump and his team don’t actually care about protecting classified information or federal record retention laws,” the former secretary of state wrote.

“But we knew that already.”

and that's fine, but in reality, and IMHO, the MAGAs are doing all of the damage to themselves (w/ some of us in the way unfortunately) and thus, the protests and such are really just taking the desired sole focus off tRUMP and his minions and their thieving ways.

Right now, just watching them acting out like chickens flopping around w/o their heads, is the best move thus far, for democrats and independents. But of course, always be ready to pounce at a moment's notice, when protests and such can do some good.

And I know that some are complaining that Democrats don't seem to be doing much...well, in reality, there's not really much we can do, we don't have the House in full control, the Senate maybe? and the WH, of course is the swamp land occupied by tRUMP and his rats.
