How on Earth did he ever get hired by the Central Intelligence Agency when he quite obviously has no, well, intelligence?

Like Clutch Cargo or Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - only this guy's no hero!

That said, welcome to DU!

But I have to say that I thought everyone else was exceptional, including Bill this week - and I was especially pleased to see Dr. Rimoin participate in Overtime!

the crappy trade deal. Did you catch that? Maybe Bannon was right or maybe they are just clueless.

And I also caught that Bill said he didn't believe a lot of these polls - and I'm with him, it's far from over and Trump does more damage every single day.

But I thought this was an exceptional show. Like he does so often, he addressed what we're currently discussing and worrying about - and with humor, that sure helps a lot!

Great show! Buck was a bit annoying, but the other guests made up for it and Bill stood up to him.
