It seems fitting that the Institute of Peace is named after 47 given that's he's previously called it "bloated and useless".

They should have protected him
They should have followed him
They should have been furious.
But no.
They sat down and were quiet.

When I read about the "...rapid unscheduled disassembly..."I thought it was another DOGE update. And who's the common denominator?
