The entire staff of the Defense Digital Service (DDS), the Pentagon’s decade-old technology development office, is leaving by the start of May, with nearly all individuals resigning, a current member of the office confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday.

The mass exodus, first reported by Politico, means the service will effectively shutter in less than a month.

The scenario I've been imagining would go like this. The Cheney/Romney/McConnell GOP would abandon the Republican name to the MAGoos and do a hostile takeover of the Libertarian Party. Right now the Libs have about 800,000 nation wide. The Cheney bloc could join and overwhelm the old guard and be on the ballot in all fifty state instantly.

Moscow Mitch doesn't get a pass,

Get real.

Mitch is going to die comfortably and probably have some schools named after him after he's gone.

There would have to be a lot of people killed before things changed wnought to change that, and I don't think it's worth the cost.
