Imagine being such a **** on TV

These people disgust me. The revelling in being cruel to the vulnerable and the weak is actually even more damaging than policies. It enables worse yet down the line, something we know from history.

THey just hate the thought that someone is supported by the state in any way at all

The MAGA stories about the Venzuelan gang members are starting to unravel.

This is why we have due process.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I wish that was unbelievable. But, sadly, it isn't.

Its clear JD Vance hates Europe.

The Final Countdown was a decent song.

On a serious note. Watching this cabinet meeting; all I see is a table full of bullies with an air of self importance telling the world they are the best so fuck you.

'Amateur hour': Flabbergasted experts react as Pete Hegseth shares war plans with reporter

A bombshell report in The Atlantic revealed that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared classified information in a Signal chat that included a reporter among its membership. It's something that officials, national security experts and critics claim would sink careers in a standard...

Was he pissed at the time?

A journalist was accidently included in a White House Yemen war planning group chat:

White House inadvertently texted top-secret Yemen war plans to journalist

In extraordinary blunder top Trump cabinet members added Atlantic editor to chat discussing strikes on Houthis

www.theguardian.com

I feel so much better under Trump, knowing that extremely knowledgeable and competent officials are running the government!

Let’s seem them get out of this one.

I'm not holding my breath that Vance and Hegseth resign over it.

Serious security breach but they’ll just bullshit their way through.

yep.

They'll ignore congress calling them in too.

 

[WT86]

Anyone else would be relieved of command and on their way to being drummed out, but nothing will happen to Hegseth. Consequences are for other people. Wouldn't surprise me if he was drunk at the time.

And here's how a Trump voter meeting a face-eating leopard would still vote for the face-eating leopards.

"I don't regret the vote": Why Trump voters won't learn their lesson

It's not totally hopeless: Some swing voters who backed Trump may learn their lesson

Already attacking the reporter who was supposedly sent the plans. Looked rather guilty to me.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

On another note, if true, how the fuck are all these cunts doing such business on platforms such as Signal or WhatsApp?

This is gross negligence, leading to serious questions of how some of our governments have become so lapse that they can do national business on anything other than secure national communication means.

Everyone knew Trump back in power would be a shitshow but every day, this is looking far and far more dangerous.

The volume of anti-europeanism the administration is showing coupled with their comments on Russia, Putin really has taken over America, it’s international agenda at least.

The common domestic cause is fighting the decadence of homosexuality and the trans tyranny. Russia Orthodox and Southern Baptist unity.
