'Course, I'm the admin, I could delete a post, nobody would miss just one, there's 176 of' em!

I would never. That's like vandalism.

I brought it around to the topic too, also, Ben.

In new filing in Contempt of Congress case, Peter Navarro criticizes Mar-a-lago search

"Concerted effort between the White House, Justice Dept & (Archives) to deprive Pres Trump of his ability to assert executive privilege over documents recently seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago"

Navarro is asked who he expects to be in Trump’s Cabinet in a 2nd term: He says Judge Jeanine for AG, Stephen Miller in charge of the border, Robt O’Brien for Sect of State, Kash Patel, and he “guarantees” that Michael Flynn will have whatever job he chooses.

It's just 9pm for me. Winding down for bed. Been going in at 6:30am and coming home at 6:30pm (give or take an hour either way) since last Thursday; had Saturday off to spend time with my visiting Sister; but had to work a few hours on Sunday, all because of ... circumstances. Standing up some control centers, running administrative interference so my technicians could do the field work, working with my department head on a staffing plan.

Nothing glamorous except the control center stuff, and I likely will not get an award or anything for it, but I will have the honor of nominating my main subordinate for the highest award a local Embassy can give a local staffer and I think I'll be able to get it pushed through. He's done legitimately breathtaking work pulling off a few miracles while I cleared the obstacles. I've managed to write the staffing plan so that I get the weekend off, but will be the sole anchor on Monday, which everyone else will get off. It's my way of contributing. I don't have a family here with me; most of my colleagues do. Let them have the holiday.

But I'll be damn glad when Wednesday next rolls around and I can breathe again.
