     She should lose her job. Any leader who fails to fire her should lose their job. Any member of Congress who fails to pound a drum about those people losing their jobs should also lose their job.

     I let my senators know something along those lines in a phone call today, and I encourage you to do the same. This is a scandal that the establishment can actually understand as a scandal. Our pressure matters.

     A lot of Democratic career politicians have been caught like deer in the headlights, completely unequipped by their past experience to do anything resembling fighting right now. It’s frustrating as hell, and I hope a lot of of them get primaried, but in the meantime I think this is one thing where they •do• actually have the tools and experience necessary to fight — if we light a fire under them. #uspol

     @inthehands, I'm assuming that you mean “not lose sight”.

     @Burnt_Veggies
     Yup. Ironically the only person in the whole chat who did the right thing was the one who wasn’t expected to be qualified to handle opsec properly.
