Jesse Watters, who has a show on Fox, who is one of the dumbest motherfuckers you will ever see, said big whup. We've all texted the wrong person. My note to him:
Dear Mr. Watters,
I listened with great interest to your comments about the texts sent to the editor of the Atlantic. Yes, indeed, we have all sent texts to the wrong person - but not texts that contained
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION that could have endangered our military servicemen.
I sometimes think about how dumb you are, how remarkable it is that someone as obviously challenged as you could have a TV show. Then I think about the people who watch you and think you have something valuable to say.
You, your viewers and Fox are the reason we can't have nice things. You're the reason we are not safe.
“He or she has the intellectual agility of a small soap dish, and his or her looks present a constant threat to the continued functioning of cameras and clocks.”
I've heard his mom is a Democrat, and he supposedly whined about being dis-invited to Thanksgiving. Not sure if that second one is true because he's a practiced liar and maybe he was fishing for sympathy
After all that screaming and threatening about leakers...it's the new lead-in title, Pentagon leaker Hegseth, state dept leaker Rubio, national security leaker, CIA leaker...
What's awesome is meidas touch report today that fox and friends are setting fire to themselves over not being able to beat medias on viewership metrics no matter how hard they bear down
Meanwhile, I attended a meeting of European activists online this evening, and they were talking about the US as if it is a country that used to exist. And, part of that was that they hardly mentioned it except to say no one would be looking at the US again as a model of something to strive. There was also a worry that Trump and Russia are promoting right wingers and Musk is funding them and giving them a platform to spread their disinformation.
100% musk and Putin have been funding Nazi and Christian nationalist and fascist parties and organizations all over the globe. The trump/Putin ship has sailed and EU has every right to turn their backs but people here will not go quietly into the night. It's a minority party in a very large country.
My mom always said a Lithuanian curse that she translated as "you bullfrog." Phonetically: tu rupoozhieh. I'd like to know if that's true, because she called me and others that a lot.
Sending the incorrect text to mom is an error, not following federal protocol in his position is cause for firing. They can't understand that because that don't understand what understanding is.
In a law firm, accidentally including an opposing attorney in an e-mail to a client is an all-hands-on-deck damage control event, where people do worry about their continued employment. Texting attack plans to a journalist on an unsecure app? For these guys, no big deal.
I worked in law yrs ago in Boston and remember when two attys were discussing a case on the train and were overheard by someone client-adjacent. There was a very thorough combing through staff to discuss the matter and stern words issued for all employees to remember they aren't always in private space and everything client or firm related was confidential. With cell phones I think people don't even realize anymore what private space means or that they are blabbing about their hemorrhoids in public.
Court reporters are warned in school that you never, ever speak to anyone about anything while on a break, or walking to the restroom, or in an elevator.
Never offer an opinion about the case. Nothing.
You are "trained" to keep your mouth shut...and these are NOT world events. These are car accident depos.
Oh, they understand it all right. They're just deflecting, scrambling to make it seem like this is no big deal. They're going to use every trick to distract their viewers from the real issues here by going, "Look, over there, everybody texts a wrong number. Don't pay any attention to the security breach here, or the use of a compromised app to discuss classified info."
Jeff Goldberg must be careful I think....MAGA will accuse HIM of not safeguarding state secrets /war plans. Even though he immediately got off the text chain when he realized what it was....could this be a set up? Or am I being imaginative again. Just don't trust certain factions
Agree fishy in some way, Tulsi Gabbard was smirking w/Warner today and just kept saying nothing on the exchange was classified (because DUi Pete declassified everything when the story broke apparently) but suddenly the messages are not available for committee? I will say the CIA guy had a harder time w/the hearing and I'm wondering if it has just dawned on him that he's outflanked by Russian assets or sympathizers in this cabinet. He looked slightly sweaty on the 🥵 seat.
I agree it is fishy, like Goldberg is being set up. Why would "someone" (Mike Waltz, supposedly) deliberately and purposely add a reporter to a Signal text thread?
Waltz was in Moscow and maybe even the Kremlin when he joined the call. But I doubt they wanted their little outside the prying eyes of the law to hear this and other Signal chats. Now everyone knows they tried to play where Inspectors General can’t track them. So, no. I think Waltz is a bonified fool way in over his head.
Douglas, approx 3 years ago, Rachel Maddow reported that her team had been given a hot tip on an unreported story. Following protocol, they attempted to verify facts in order to report it out. No one else had reported it, not
a whisper. Days passed. Rachel & staff moved heaven and Earth, but they simply could not verify enough to meet reporting standards.
Weeks passed after the unverified story was shelved.
Rachel later reported to her viewers, especially other news outlets, that it was a fake news tip. Rachel called out the "anonamous sender", saying bad actors had attempted to discredit her when she ran with the fake "hot tip". She clearly warned other news outlets be aware, as she believed this was an attempt to discredit her show.
Man, that worn out "disparage the reporter/outlet". The "failing Atlantic, I didn't know they still existed" -- I think that insult is pre-programed into his brain 's broken wires. (Rats). Even insulted Mr. Goldberg personally, delaying his non-answering the question.
Don't forget how he let the air out of his Fox colleague's tire so she had to ask him for a ride and he could put the moves on her. They're married now. She must be delusional
Yes, I had read that. I remember thinking at the time that I was glad I never watched Fox. He is a tasteless, tawdry piece of trash--and oh yeah, really stupid, too.
Since I'm still working part-time in health care this incident yesterday has added another layer of anxiety in addition to worrying about my Social Security. I recently had a patient that was a retired Air Force Colonel, who worked out of the Pentagon for eight years in national security. Somehow our conversation turned to this current regime and I told him that I didn't feel very safe with these people in charge. He replied, "you shouldn't feel safe". That sent a chill up my spine. None of us are safe. The GOP has abdicated their responsibility and constitutional oath to protect and defend.
Thank you for this. Looks like Kegsbreath threw another ax. Pete is another drunken frat boy, like Kavenaugh, in the clouds of power.Also revolting is Vance's puling about our ungrateful European allies owing us big-time for bombing Houthi "shacks" and his excessive concern for Saudi oil fields.
Reminding again how grateful I am that I don't spend time around people like this. I am around much nicer, more honest and brighter people. It must suck to be them. Do you think they really have happy moments? Not even Trump is truly happy.
And right now Nazi Barbie (Karoline Leavitt) is saying nothing classified was texted and fuck Goldberg anyway! Oh and shitter of the house Johnson says "nobody should be disciplined" over this!
Prosecution would be at the order of The Bondo Bimbo. I agree she might try to prosecute Goldberg for accidentally being included on an illegal text chain. I'm certain the group pic is in the Dictionary next to Kakistocracy.
Bondo Bimbo makes me laugh every time I see her puffing out her chest with that stern Mommy look trying to tell us how she's going to get even with everyone who doesn't kowtow to Krasnov. Also, knowing she only got $25,000 from Trump back in 2016 -- "He sent Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi thousands [$25,000] from his foundation, just as she was considering an investigation into his sham university." "She cashed the check, blocked the case, and he tried to cover up the donation. "https://www.politifact.com/article/2016/sep/21/donald-trump-pam-bondi-and-25k-was-it-pay-play/
KKKaroline and the cast of losers in FAUX News Washington DC orifice (our White House) is now waiting on her next orders from President Elmo and Rupert Murdoch. How can a 27 year old bimbo be in charge of the dissemination of disinformation for the Bloated Yam of Scam? She’s been in training for it since she was born. KKKaroline is Kellyanne Conway (alternative facts!) on steroids.
I call her Bimbo Barbie..............Bondi is the Nazi Barbie. KKKaroline Leavitt is a high school mean girl, elevated far beyond her level of intellect or even of intelligence. Bondi is an evil, corrupt, unscrupulous piece of work.
Its' also getting more interesting that every time Trump is questioned about these f-ups that he never seems to know what's going on. He's apparently just playing golf while leaving the country to his imbecilic sycophants.
Billions of dollars spent developing and implementing secure communications hardware and the procedures to use them just discarded in the trash. Perhaps Signal’s ability to self-delete posts on a configurable schedule has something to do with not wanting to follow the LAW and retain all communications for the National Archives. Pissants the lot of them.
Because those communications by a 3rd party external app can be more easily and readily hidden, or even utterly removed. The Gods help us is Donald Trump ever learns about Signal, and then constantly defies the Presidential Records Act, and then uses it to subjugate the rules. Not that he doesnt already.
To Trump, hiding information is putting file boxes in bathrooms.
Using an app besides his own or Elon's social apps would probably be too much for him to learn at this point. Notice they didn't include him in the chat. Theory on that is that to them, he is just a fading figurehead/useful idiot who will disappear over the next few years. The people who work closely with him who can manipulate him are the key staffers (Miller in particular) carefully put in place to watch him and only give him instructions that they can cleverly convince him are his ideas to execute.
Right now, he's bothering the economy, issuing EO's that may affect 2026 elections, distracting the public - while they are playing war games on their mobile devices using an app that they think is easier to access than the ones under FEDRAMP that are so not user-friendly and definitely uncool.
Besides, Pete doesn't want everyone in a situation room with him because he can't sit with a whiskey while he's playing - something he wants to hide.
Yes, yes, and yes! I couldn’t believe the base callousness of their use of emojis. Sick, immature bullies drunk on power. It is deeply frightening to know they are in charge and no one will take responsibility or pay any consequences.
When I used to give presentations, I'd get off the stage and walk around the audience, staring at different people as I talked. I hated stages. Fell off the back of one once when I was presenting where the stage area was dark, and they hadn't marked it (a safety requirement they failed). Ever since, I decided to not stand on stages!
Haha, no way anyone with half a brain and not piss-drunk can have performance anxiety, when those lying clowns have zero self-awareness and no brain. Zero. And none. Most unfortunately, none of this is funny. At all. Terrifying, actually. Thanks for all you do, Jeff. Really.
Fuck yeah its wrong. And we all know it. The government has secure ways to communicate with people that dont involve using Signal. And lets be fair. The obsession with using signal for secure communication, is being driven entirely by Leon Musk, and all his bullshit with DOGE, because by all accounts, thats what THEY use to communicate with each other. Its a fucking sham.
I cant be that popular. Im just an over 50 Trans woman, at the end of her professional career , desperately trying to reinvent herself career wise as a journalist and writer. Some days I think I do great, other days, Im not so sure. I feel like a total failure. Yet, I still persevere.
I don't think Republicans understand how lucky they were that it was Jeffrey Goldberg who was accidentally included, instead of a reporter who would have jumped on the texts and shared them with the world right away. Goldberg, after figuring out that the texts really were from members of the Dumpy administration, kept quiet, watched as events unfolded, and even when he did reveal that he'd been included, didn't say anything that would have revealed specifics about military units or means of intelligence collection. I think he was a hero, revealing incompetence in Dumpy's cabinet. I'm sure Republicans are concentrating on how this beenefits Goldberg's career. And it is a scoop. But Goldberg could have done a lot of damage to our country when he spoke up, and he didn't.
If the lowest-bar-in-history cabinet is going to model themselves on Musk's DOGE posse and use Big Balls' favorite app for communications, we can be certain this sloppy disregard for data is their modus operandi.
Investigate him for what? Accepting a Signal meeting? She can try but it’s going to make her look as stupid as the rest of them. If she’s smart, she will ignore.
In the "Donny knows nothing" clip, it's pretty interested to see how affectless President Twaddles' expression is: a complete shut-down of cognition. Apparently he engages only when his brainstem is firing in grievance/anger/hostility/self-promotion mode, and even then in a way that is borderline incoherent at best.
It's a remarkably degenerate and stunted form of "thought", on top of his rampant behavioral disorders. No psych exam would ever clear this man for a real job, let alone an executive position. Has there ever been made a better case for invoking the 25th Amendment?
The stooges in the media have completely normalized the fact that the “leaders” of our nation are not serious people. They are simply gangsters who have been put in place by an imbecilic electorate. Rise up! Resist!
Again and again… every time von trump the liar, the convict etc is cornered … he uses the same no balls fucked up bully childish defense… “I did not know”… it’s not meee, but them… I am innocent, how do you dare accusing me, and so on. Get rid of that fuckered thief. Wake up America!
And whenever Mike Johnson stands behind Krasnov while he spews his crap, the bobble head starts bouncing up and down in obedient concurrence. Surprised he doesn't scream out "Hallelujah! Amen!"
What do we know to be true? Nothing will happen to any of these assholes. They will not be fired. They will not be prosecuted. President Dipshit will continue to deny any knowledge. Secy Barfly will continue to say dumb things. And this will happen again. The next time it will be worse, much worse.
I think Dumpy really didn't know. Or he's a better actor than I thought. But his questions to the reporter asking him sounded genuine. Of course, that makes it worse. He genuinely doesn't know what's going on with the members of his cabinet.
Sooo, he didn't know. And he focuses on the Atlantic (going out of business or whatever). He's THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! He's responsible for these things. He handpicked these mangy coyotes to sit around and chew the furniture! That includes housebreaking them, muzzling them when necessary and keeping them out of the liquor cabinet. Didn't know? BULLSHIT! He knows now. And so does the world. Whatever gods are out there, please save us.
Peter, the wizardry of kegbreath is he sticks to the 3 letter acronyms his are FOX and DUI, but he’s pulling all the strings for DOD because of his zero IQ it is in fashion now.
Can you say more? I recently read several workups from supposed 'security analysts' about how to navigate a potential musk power grab through tech and the advice was to start using burner phones and signal, and then a week later I see something reported out about breaches to signal and the Russians...what's going on here?
Oups! I counterchecked. I have been told a wrong info. My source mixed the app signal and telegram! Humble and sincere apologies as usually I am not a troll (or counter troll). Mea culpa. Another reason to always check before posting. Thank you
Nobody seems to fear the unbelievable fact that two of the STOOPIDEST muthafuckin fools in the world have the NUCLEAR CODES. Hogsbreath and the Bloated Yam of Scam have done their best to destroy everything this country created over the last 250 years. They can accelerate the process with the push of a button. Anyone concerned? They have shown outrageous incompetence, so, when things start to melt down in their soggy, ill functioning brains, anything can happen. Throw ketchup at the wall, or nuke Greenland? I dunno, Pete, whaddaya think we should do?

Holy shit…did Watters really say that? 🤦♀️
His mom must be so proud. 🙄
The new DEI is DUI or Defense Under Intoxication.
A requirement to fill the position of SECDRUNK.
😂😂😂😂
Yup, and this is the booze soaked dick who said he wouldn't drink on the job. Bullshit.
I bet he's drinking now. . .
Mmm good idea. Kahlua and coffee sounds about right.
If you enjoy that, try Mr Black liqueur (although not sure if you can get it in the States)
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
Good one!
Yep Mike, how wasted would you guess Pete was to watch the show in real time?
It’s a slam drunk being Secretary of Defense!
IIRC, his mom disinvited him to Thanksgiving. 😂
His Mum knows that she gave birth to the pusillanimous connard Kay-EI!!
Id have to ask him "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" in utter disgust of his communication ability.
“He or she has the intellectual agility of a small soap dish, and his or her looks present a constant threat to the continued functioning of cameras and clocks.”
He or she?

Oh thats classy af.
I've heard his mom is a Democrat, and he supposedly whined about being dis-invited to Thanksgiving. Not sure if that second one is true because he's a practiced liar and maybe he was fishing for sympathy
After all that screaming and threatening about leakers...it's the new lead-in title, Pentagon leaker Hegseth, state dept leaker Rubio, national security leaker, CIA leaker...
Thats classy Ann. Watters is an utter piece of shit (pardon my french).
What's awesome is meidas touch report today that fox and friends are setting fire to themselves over not being able to beat medias on viewership metrics no matter how hard they bear down
Trump and his sycophants doing the same over the phenomenal crowd size at Bernie and OAC town meetings.

Oooh, use their words. I can use further education. My swear words are inadequate for these times.
I agree! Words, please!
Yes, we can all use Russian, German, and Gaelic.
And your Lithuanian, Wendy? How’s that coming? 😊
My mom always said a Lithuanian curse that she translated as "you bullfrog." Phonetically: tu rupoozhieh. I'd like to know if that's true, because she called me and others that a lot.
Merde is good Arne,le mot juste est connard!!
Sending the incorrect text to mom is an error, not following federal protocol in his position is cause for firing. They can't understand that because that don't understand what understanding is.

This is all part of the plan

Firing and prison time.
Do you think Jesse “Polluted” Watters reads, Ann? I think all he reads is the stoopid teleprompter and he probably fucks that up, too.
Don't forget how he let the air out of his Fox colleague's tire so she had to ask him for a ride and he could put the moves on her. They're married now. She must be delusional
“Stoopid MAGAT Tricks,” starring Jesse Waters, another new hit for the FOX viewing audience coming this fall!
They will never run out of material
He was married with three kids at the time.
Yes, I had read that. I remember thinking at the time that I was glad I never watched Fox. He is a tasteless, tawdry piece of trash--and oh yeah, really stupid, too.
Is he more stupid than t?
If by 't' you meant Krasnov--no. Watters is stupid, but not nearly as stupid as the orange spackled idiot.
Double gross
Yeah he's a serial cheater. he's on his third wife with 7 kids between all of them.
That’s Hogsbreath. I think Dirty Watters is “only” on wife #2
Gross
It’s nice to be wanted by somebody?
Oh god!!!

And right now Nazi Barbie (Karoline Leavitt) is saying nothing classified was texted and fuck Goldberg anyway! Oh and shitter of the house Johnson says "nobody should be disciplined" over this!
Ten bucks says they try to prosecute Goldberg.
Well thats going to happen before they hold Hegseth or Waltz accountable, despite The Hill reporting that Security Democrats are calling for both to resign their posts for fucking up. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5212589-warner-hegseth-waltz-intel-group-chat/
Waltz....not Walz (the good guy from MN).
Meh, typo on my part, Ive corrected. Thanks donna. Keeping me honest is something I appreciate.

He would have likely been prosecuted for treason to the highest extent!
Nothing the rest of his clown car of fuckery will ever receive Teri!!

Yep, that’s where the bullies go first
Fuck ya. Bring in Comer Pyle. Must see TV
Oh it's only a matter of time.

We're used to the hypocrisy but the incompetence is truly breathtaking.
With this group of stumble fuck bozos, both.

He seemed pretty confused at the mention of Signal, but he knew well of the incident…playing dumb is what Donnie does best Wendy, it’s natural!!
Agree 100%
To Trump, hiding information is putting file boxes in bathrooms.
Using an app besides his own or Elon's social apps would probably be too much for him to learn at this point. Notice they didn't include him in the chat. Theory on that is that to them, he is just a fading figurehead/useful idiot who will disappear over the next few years. The people who work closely with him who can manipulate him are the key staffers (Miller in particular) carefully put in place to watch him and only give him instructions that they can cleverly convince him are his ideas to execute.
Right now, he's bothering the economy, issuing EO's that may affect 2026 elections, distracting the public - while they are playing war games on their mobile devices using an app that they think is easier to access than the ones under FEDRAMP that are so not user-friendly and definitely uncool.
Besides, Pete doesn't want everyone in a situation room with him because he can't sit with a whiskey while he's playing - something he wants to hide.
"But her emails. . ."
Bought to you by the jealous nepo-babies of the NYT.
But the paper shredders and incinerator.
Lots of talk about courts and that is our hope even now.
Except for the fact that there’s a Repugnant majority on the Supreme Court.
My question as well Abbi!!
One of the lesser-discussed but very important IMO parts of this story is the use of emojis to discuss killing people and denigrating our allies…
Yes, yes, and yes! I couldn’t believe the base callousness of their use of emojis. Sick, immature bullies drunk on power. It is deeply frightening to know they are in charge and no one will take responsibility or pay any consequences.
They are Homer Simpson, and think in emojis.

Vance seems particularly focused on this. Like a dog with a bone...
As an atheist, those praying hands emojis disgust me.
Jeff, I awaited your take on this with the manic anticipation of Ed Grimley on Christmas Eve.
now I have performance anxiety
Just imagine everyone is in their underwear, when you get up in the front.
It always helps me.
Don't you giggle imagining that?
Well yes, but thats also a sure fire way to get around stage fright. It always works for me.
Just imagine they are all Repugs.
When I used to give presentations, I'd get off the stage and walk around the audience, staring at different people as I talked. I hated stages. Fell off the back of one once when I was presenting where the stage area was dark, and they hadn't marked it (a safety requirement they failed). Ever since, I decided to not stand on stages!
Haha, no way anyone with half a brain and not piss-drunk can have performance anxiety, when those lying clowns have zero self-awareness and no brain. Zero. And none. Most unfortunately, none of this is funny. At all. Terrifying, actually. Thanks for all you do, Jeff. Really.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
More like his excitement to see Pat Sajack each night on Wheel of Fortune
Just let it go, don’t beat the journalist like a rented government mule poor man has anxieties now.
Dustin Hoffman's eagerness to see Judge Wapner on People's Court
😂🤣😂 Yes!
Ditto
Fuck yeah its wrong. And we all know it. The government has secure ways to communicate with people that dont involve using Signal. And lets be fair. The obsession with using signal for secure communication, is being driven entirely by Leon Musk, and all his bullshit with DOGE, because by all accounts, thats what THEY use to communicate with each other. Its a fucking sham.
Thank you Jeff, as always for your hard work.
Here was our take when it happened.

Good article Wendy!
Yeah, I have those on occasion. The rest of them suck though. :)
No they don’t!!
Holy shit yes they do.
IDK, I very much enjoy Wendy's thoughts.
I cant be that popular. Im just an over 50 Trans woman, at the end of her professional career , desperately trying to reinvent herself career wise as a journalist and writer. Some days I think I do great, other days, Im not so sure. I feel like a total failure. Yet, I still persevere.
Your excellent use of monikers for our dotard president is rivaling Jeff's.
During Jan 6, 2021 insurrection the bad guys were using burner phones. Oh nooo....that was secret service too....ohhh boy...
Excellent article. I just signed up for your emails.
We welcome you. Its a fun ride here over on Wendy the Druid.
I don't think Republicans understand how lucky they were that it was Jeffrey Goldberg who was accidentally included, instead of a reporter who would have jumped on the texts and shared them with the world right away. Goldberg, after figuring out that the texts really were from members of the Dumpy administration, kept quiet, watched as events unfolded, and even when he did reveal that he'd been included, didn't say anything that would have revealed specifics about military units or means of intelligence collection. I think he was a hero, revealing incompetence in Dumpy's cabinet. I'm sure Republicans are concentrating on how this beenefits Goldberg's career. And it is a scoop. But Goldberg could have done a lot of damage to our country when he spoke up, and he didn't.
Goldberg was the adult in the room this time. There might not be an adult in the room next time.
If the lowest-bar-in-history cabinet is going to model themselves on Musk's DOGE posse and use Big Balls' favorite app for communications, we can be certain this sloppy disregard for data is their modus operandi.
Excellent point -- and I can think of a few who would have jumped with both feet. (Julian Assange got out of jail last June.)
The Albino rapist "stealther" POS.
Totally agree, Betsy. But that won't stop Pam Bondi from "investigating" JG and prosecuting him as hard as the courts allow her to.
Investigate him for what? Accepting a Signal meeting? She can try but it’s going to make her look as stupid as the rest of them. If she’s smart, she will ignore.
She'll call him a "domestic terrorist."
Sitting in a grocery store parking lot?
𝚃𝚛𝚞𝚝𝚑!
In the "Donny knows nothing" clip, it's pretty interested to see how affectless President Twaddles' expression is: a complete shut-down of cognition. Apparently he engages only when his brainstem is firing in grievance/anger/hostility/self-promotion mode, and even then in a way that is borderline incoherent at best.
It's a remarkably degenerate and stunted form of "thought", on top of his rampant behavioral disorders. No psych exam would ever clear this man for a real job, let alone an executive position. Has there ever been made a better case for invoking the 25th Amendment?
They probably have him tranqued to the gills.
Who, me?
Sergeant Schultz.....'I know NOTHINGK'!!!
"Three Stooges level of dipshittery” 😂😂😂
Man, I’ll say…and then some.
How much more can we endure? I mean, nothing can surprise us now. Next, we’ll see Putin having lunch with Dump in the Oval.
The stooges in the media have completely normalized the fact that the “leaders” of our nation are not serious people. They are simply gangsters who have been put in place by an imbecilic electorate. Rise up! Resist!
Endure? All of it. The only way out of this is through. We may as well get accelerationist about it.
Oh, yeah. That's coming soon. Remember the first people he invited to the white house last time?
Oh yes! That’s right! 🤦♀️.
Susan… have you no shame? …lowering the 3 stooges
to their level if dipshittery!!!
😂😂😂. Sorry! 🤷♀️
I keep asking myself 𝔻𝔸𝕀𝕃𝕐: how much more can we endure?

Right there with you. Dump has managed to alienate ALL of our allies...and America is now very unstable.
Putin will be invited to speak at the Capitol. And Chuck will approve it...
He will get 57 standing ovations.
😂😂
Again and again… every time von trump the liar, the convict etc is cornered … he uses the same no balls fucked up bully childish defense… “I did not know”… it’s not meee, but them… I am innocent, how do you dare accusing me, and so on. Get rid of that fuckered thief. Wake up America!
And whenever Mike Johnson stands behind Krasnov while he spews his crap, the bobble head starts bouncing up and down in obedient concurrence. Surprised he doesn't scream out "Hallelujah! Amen!"
What do we know to be true? Nothing will happen to any of these assholes. They will not be fired. They will not be prosecuted. President Dipshit will continue to deny any knowledge. Secy Barfly will continue to say dumb things. And this will happen again. The next time it will be worse, much worse.
I think Dumpy really didn't know. Or he's a better actor than I thought. But his questions to the reporter asking him sounded genuine. Of course, that makes it worse. He genuinely doesn't know what's going on with the members of his cabinet.
He knows because they told him after the fact so he could deny it. If he didn't he should be impeached for not knowing what his crew is up to.
Sooo, he didn't know. And he focuses on the Atlantic (going out of business or whatever). He's THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! He's responsible for these things. He handpicked these mangy coyotes to sit around and chew the furniture! That includes housebreaking them, muzzling them when necessary and keeping them out of the liquor cabinet. Didn't know? BULLSHIT! He knows now. And so does the world. Whatever gods are out there, please save us.
“Only the best people.”
Exactly, Peter. Just the tip of the MAGATY iceberg.
Peter, the wizardry of kegbreath is he sticks to the 3 letter acronyms his are FOX and DUI, but he’s pulling all the strings for DOD because of his zero IQ it is in fashion now.
Pete Hegseth, DUI Hire. Good one Jeff!
And please remember that Signal is a fucking RUSSIAN app… 😂😂😂
If that's the case I'm surprised the Russians didn't tip off the Houthis just to be dicks so our boys got shot down.
Can you say more? I recently read several workups from supposed 'security analysts' about how to navigate a potential musk power grab through tech and the advice was to start using burner phones and signal, and then a week later I see something reported out about breaches to signal and the Russians...what's going on here?
Oups! I counterchecked. I have been told a wrong info. My source mixed the app signal and telegram! Humble and sincere apologies as usually I am not a troll (or counter troll). Mea culpa. Another reason to always check before posting. Thank you
This is the first time I ever heard of it. Signal, how does it work? Pete and I would like to know. 😂
Use threema instead
You’re kidding. Doesn’t that beat all.
Sorry folks. Mixed signal and telegram. Better to use threema anyway
Hogsbreath is the real enemy of the people. Do we really need to worry about Putin nuking us? Our own government is more likely to by incompetence 🙄
Nobody seems to fear the unbelievable fact that two of the STOOPIDEST muthafuckin fools in the world have the NUCLEAR CODES. Hogsbreath and the Bloated Yam of Scam have done their best to destroy everything this country created over the last 250 years. They can accelerate the process with the push of a button. Anyone concerned? They have shown outrageous incompetence, so, when things start to melt down in their soggy, ill functioning brains, anything can happen. Throw ketchup at the wall, or nuke Greenland? I dunno, Pete, whaddaya think we should do?
I was thinking how t is always exclaiming, “It’ll be WWW III!” He’s going to be the one who accidentally starts it.
I hate that the drunken rapist has the same first name, as my beloved spouse.
They will all weasel out of it and media will pretend nothing happened! Jeepers Creepers!!!!!!
"Nothing to see here, folks..."
