A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Yep, mentioned him by name in my post.

No, the other VP. I wouldn’t actually be shocked if that one was in the chain also.

Ah, sorry. Nuance is lacking for me. Fighting off a cold or maybe a delayed hangover from my friend’s wedding in Vegas last weekend.

Elon wasn’t included in the group chat from what I’ve read.

Actually, I should be clearer. I was thinking Vlad.

Maybe, he’s appears as EJ, short for El Jefe.

I’m sure he already knew about the Houthi plans.


That’s probably a boon to Cuba.

As usual, they are just going to argue to that up is down.

It’s worth noting that this accusation is coming from a former Fox News weekend host.

This is an incredibly restrained response.

There’s going to be a lot of this going around:

A lot of my buddies who flew in the military and had high security clearance are saying how they’d be in jail if they had done fucked up like the dimwits did in this administration.
We all nothing will happen to those who did this which is so incredibly fucked up.

Trump said “therefore, any Country that purchases Oil and/or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States”

Poor dumb bastard is incapable of learning what a tariff is.

Buttigieg Pete-splains how big a fuck-up this all is.

There is so much malfeasance and incompetence here, but I cannot stop thinking that the inclusion of a journalist in the chat group is the canary, not the poisonous coal mine. Officials at the very highest level of government were using an unsecured, commercial messaging app when they have perfectly good and secure email. The true scandal is why?

To me it’s obvious why: they want to keep the conversations off the books so that they cannot be easily obtained as part of any official investigation. That is the heart of the scandal here, and the journalist being in the chat is just a consequence, not the original sin itself.

It’s as if “lock her up” was never a thing.

How’s that tourism industry doing, Florida?

Take the 28-year-old Welsh artist Rebecca Burke, for example. She was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) for 19 days in what her father described as “horrendous conditions”. Now, to be fair, Burke had the wrong paperwork: she hadn’t realised that she needed a working visa instead of a tourist visa in order to exchange domestic chores for accommodation with a host family. But getting imprisoned for almost three weeks over a mix-up and then being led on to a deportation flight – in chains!– back to a country that is supposedly a close ally, is obviously extreme.

Is it speculated that Goldberg was added to the chain by a mole, whistle-blower type (on someone’s staff) in order to get the word out to the American people just how incompetent and corrupt they are.

If true, that person is a hero.

This could be interesting…
