When barbarians loot the town I get pissed at the barbarians. When I find out they got in because the guard of the gate was drunk off his ass and rolling around in the bushes with his girlfriend, I toss the guard over the wall and get a new damn guard.
We’re still mad at the barbarians too.
The guard isn't.

Obama is a master politician, you think he can't fake a laugh for the span of a dinner?
Oh, I have no doubt that he's 100% faking it. The country is falling to the fascists thanks to the Democratic establishment's incompetence and Obama's manipulations, but keeping up "the norms" is still job one! Fucking pathetic.
Same as how in the middle of the ocean when the boat's hull has a slow leak and lets in a gallon of water, you jump ship?
This immediate perfection you demand as a baseline is killing your ability to support incremental improvement when the alternative is rapid decline.
Oh, fuck off. I never called for perfection and I never jumped ship. It's the establishment with the purity tests.
