Days like this I want to quit GAW.

For some reason, someone thought it was a great idea to just post some absolute Click-inducing X story from 3 months ago about Pompeo as a bad guy (which has been posted to the board before), and dozens of frogs just join in laying on and laying on without a single shred of critical thinking.

just "I hate that guy" "How can I trust that guy?" "He was the head of the CIA! (So I cannot trust him)" Sigh, Ignoring the fact that DJT assigned Pompeo to the CIA for a year! And then moved him to Sec of State to do amazing stuff for 3+ years.

The lack of critical thinking really gets me down, but more so our frogs who just post stuff without even considering (imo) how triggering emotions that short-circuit critical thinking actually hurts our work. I mean, have your opinion, but back it up with research, or information, or critical thinking. Not just because [I don't like him (my subjective view is everything)].

Honestly? Bloody depressing. As in, at some point, why even bother....
