 We're not surrounded by the best and brightest. There is no conspiracy theory here. There is only staggering incompetence. And when the president of the United States and those under him refused to fire people in charge, there's no incentive to get competent because incompetence is rewarded. Incompetence is given a pass and incompetence is praised. For the secretary of Homeland Security and the president to say they stand by the director of the Secret Service who was picked by Jill Biden because she wanted a woman in the position apparently.
