Zachary B. Wolf of CNN noted that “Trump intentionally hired amateurs for top jobs. This is their most dramatic blunder.” Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) told Brian Tyler Cohen: “My first reaction... was 'what absolute clowns.' Total amateur hour, reckless, dangerous….

So many DEI hires at the very top national security positions with none of them questioning the use of Signal for this.

Needs to be better, in many ways.

Mental health needs to be addressed in meaningful ways, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Mental health is an enormous problem in this country, and even health care professionals are largely incompetent in regards to it.

My life was destroyed because VHC released me completely psychotic. They knew I broke down repeatedly in their care; they knew I was malnourished to the point of losing 20 pounds in 2 weeks, not sleeping, and badly hypokalemic (among other issues with a bowel perforation). Did they run even the most basic mental health screening? Nah. When my wife reported I thought I was communicating with the government via Wordle, did they do anything? Nope.

It took years to come back from the aftermath. And of course the statute of limitations is 2 years for such malpractice.
