Constant infighting among top officials. Sudden departures of senior staffers without explanation. A leader who is disengaged and prone to falling asleep in meetings.

The Commerce Department has reached its apex of dysfunction under Wilbur Ross, according to four people with knowledge of the inner workings of the department.

He’s hardly the only top Trump official to seek the president’s approval. But department insiders say they’ve rarely seen Commerce so rudderless -- and they say Ross’s penchant for managing upward at the expense of his staff is leading to what one plugged-in observer described as “a disaster over there.”

To the previous question, Flaccid is hiding that he brags he’s so rich through making deals but that he’s broke for tax purposes.

"Afghanistan has demanded the United States clarify remarks made by President Donald Trump, who said the country "would be wiped off the face of the Earth" if he wanted to win the war in Afghanistan."

Soooo, he doesn't want to win the war?

Relax, if Trump evaded income taxes the IRS is on it. Avoidance is legal, tax evasion is not.
Trump's tax returns, stack of paper 4 ft high, and 12,000 pages. Be my guest and page through.

And yes, I have sought out and looked at some of the tax records released by presidential candidates. So don’t cry “witch hunt.”

It's great when people who know nothing about tech assume they understand things.

Hacking is not a boolean thing - there are many different levels to what the hacker can do or access. Being able to read data certainly does not mean they have the ability to write data.

This statement is like when Sergey Aleynikov was convicted of a crime because jurors assumed Subversion was something used to be subversive

It's good to know that the Russians are on our side, so we don't even have to collude with them to win.
Trump 2020!
