By context I assume you mean "US government" by "we idiots". No, I don't believe the US government makes the decisions that count.

I said we all have our blind spots, myself included. Of course your nation enjoys objectivity on some subjects mine cannot.

A while back you claimed your expert opinion the producer of ground truth straight up to the President, and that your "professionalisum and that of (your) peers is guided by an accurate view of events" for example reinterpreting a "poorly written" Gallup survey to better reflect reality. Now you're throwing up your hands and calling intelligence a joke nobody should take seriously.

My neighbour's household doesn't operate with fair and transparent democratic process. For example they don't use secret ballots. They don't even have elections. I've seen him hit his wife. What do you say? I'll give my neighbour an ultimatum to disarm himself of the illegal tracked combat vehicle I know he has stowed in the secret basement bunker, or I'll invade his house and disarm him myself, since the so-called police can't even find the illegal tracked combat vehicle in their searches. Then I'll smash everything he has that I can replace for him at a real bargain, and lockdown the family and install order. They'll be real friendly and offer me a chair and a cup of tea and listen to my advice. Then when the police arrive to ask is everything OK I'll have one of the brats declare, "yes I'm the new boss... we need money to fix the broke toilet can you give it to that man holding the baseball bat?" and I'll say, "you wouldn't want them to suffer more, would you?" I'll buy the family a new toilet! Have it delivered and installed by a guy I know does good work. And then I'll teach the family democratic process. But I won't leave until I've taught them to punch each other. When the heat is on, failure to strike is
unacceptable, I'll tell them. Also I want to keep several of my dogs tied up in the yard, and I want the tenant downstairs and the family across the street to stop interfering with the neighbours, and I mean it.
That family will be a lot better off when I'm through with them.
That was fun.
