To me, one key thing about this whole affair is that Dim Buff Un’s White House seems incapable of performing the normal day-to-day functions of an administration.

The fact that they’ve had to scramble to get the names and family information from the DoD about slain soldiers is evidence of the dysfunction.

We had some early indications of that dysfunction when the so-called President claimed a naval group was headed to NK when in fact is was sailing in the opposite direction. If the President wanted the group headed to NK, who should have given the order? Who should have acted on that order? Who should have verified that the order was being followed? If the Commander in Chief doesn’t have the most basic command structures in place to handle such events, what does that say about the WH? This is especially distressing when dealing with the military chain of command.

It’s obvious that this administration doesn’t have a clue about its responsibilities or how to carry out those responsibilities. And they don’t seem to care about trying to learn what the responsibilities are and how to ensure those functions are carried out effectively and efficiently. This is how we end up with a gutted State Dept and with so many key positions in the administration unfilled. They don’t understand why those positions exist, why they are important and why they should be staffed. They assume their lack of understanding is equivalent to the positions being unnecessary.

We’re fucked.
