21. Because it wasn't.
The "intelligence failure" double entendre isn't gonna wash much longer. It's not an intelligence failure - it's clearly an integrity failure. No informed person seriously questions the intelligence. We question the manner in which intelligence is (ab)used. Even Mickey Mouth's intelligence isn't as questionable as his mental health. Indeed, these are people who demonstrate a desire to 'game' the facts in service to a wholly predatory agenda. Just as a mendacious and spiritually perverted evilangelist uses "proof-texting" to speciously rationalize sociopathic drives, this madministration filters and processes information (and misinformation) not based on veracity, but based on mendacity. They treat their own opinion as revelation, belief as fact, fealty as honor, and motives as principles; they view themselves as crusaders, presumptively the 'good' whose opponents are, by definition, 'evil'. Arrogance, elitism, condescension, and self-righteousness are pervasive behavioral traits among them all. The inmates are in charge of the asylum.
