Darwin in the White House
NEW YORK NIGHTS
If we had to choose this administration’s most self-defining move, it would undoubtedly be Kash Patel’s firing of the members of the FBI’s CI-12 unit, while Trump is starting his war with Iran.
This unit consisted of the most highly trained anti-assassin agents in the FBI, the ones who were most expert in thwarting Iran’s well-known attempts to kill political leaders. Now they’re gone! Why would they be fired at this particular time, you may well ask? They’re gone because our Darwin-Award winning president wanted to take retribution on these agents for their participation in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents search.
Brilliant! Even Thomas Pynchon couldn’t come up with a plot so richly ironic. Talk about an administration so at war with reality. If God forbid something should happen, it would be Karma at its height!
