[MCU] Why is Thaddeus Ross still the Secretary of State after his monumental fuck up in 2016?

Also why the hell did he even get the job when he was the main reason of the destruction of Harlem and the creation of the Abomination? 

Who's balls has he captured so tightly that he gets away with so much?

The Abomination incident is so classified even SHIELD would have a hard time proving it happened, much less laying any blame at Ross's feet.  All anyone remembers is two of those superpowered *things* had a fight in Harlem and the US military put a stop to it.  If anything, it helps Ross since his version of events proves that superpowered individuals are a menace, and that they can be effectively stopped by the military.

By Monumental Fuckup, do you mean the signing of the Sokovia Accords and the resulting Super Hero Civil War?  That one just plays into his hands as further proof that these individuals are an uncontrolled menace that need to be brought to heel.
