the larger issue: Rs are dangerously incompetent- on DOGE, on economy, on natl security. They don't care enough about America to get it remotely right.

I'm gonna keep on hammering it until we get the gravity right. It's not simply about incompetence. Incompetence is in getting caught. It's about putting themselves over the national security of the country. It's malice.
They are plotting against Europe while getting ready to separate a generation from their social security deposits.
That’s why I appeal to everyone to take part in this event. #April5 #HandsOff https://handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=thirdact
Who could've imagined that a bunch of unqualified, inexperienced sycophants, including a notorious drunk, wouldn't know or care what they were doing in a highly classified chat on signal or in any other aspect of their cabinet positions? Every Dem, who voted to confirm these fools, is complicit.
They are too stupid to “get it right”. Not one of those idiots in that group text, except for The Atlantic journalist, was aware of the absurdity of it. They are all morons.
Is there any way that Dems can attempt to bring charges against the Signal users, and against Bondi for her deportation of unidentified men in a criminal and unconstitutional manner? We need to ACT!!!! Enough.
They are fascists dismantling the Government piece by piece. They know exactly what they’re doing and aligning themselves with other fascist regimes. The wilful ignorance and refusal of engaging in reality by Americans and continuing to call this coup anything but what it is, beggars belief.
...but they are narcissists who think the know everything -- er, who believe their own delusional musings about the world they won't study (because facts threaten their egos).
When the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency says using Signal (rather than classified channels) to discuss imminent war plans, WITH the editor of a Magazine on the chat, is NOT a problem
There IS a problem
A big one
An administration filled with incompetent morons https://bsky.app/profile/thebulwark.bsky.social/post/3ll7ovuo2qk24
*Getting it right would require bringing in "woke" people, meaning people smarter than them including Democrats. They'd rather burn everything down. It's who they are. It's an adult version of Lord of the Flies.
The even larger issue is the millions of Americans that believe the lies no matter what evidence is presented to them. The maga people will vote Trump no matter what he does and how badly his actions effect them and that is very very dangerous for our future
It’s a tech coup takedown
See my pinned feed for more.
American Mindf by Jim Stewartson shows how tech indoctrinated voters to vote for trump… the tech reich pawn to create chaos and destroy democracy so yarvin could play patchwork with your country. Expose his delusions.
Even the details: spelling mistakes, low budget style graphics, lots of walk backs, sloppy messaging, contradictions, denials, lies, it’s just amateur hour at The Gong Show. Soon Trump admin people will start being voted off the island. Because it’s all a bad reality show.
The GOP are the worst of us. I'd be embarrassed. I am embarrassed. They lure in their followers with hate and intolerance. Neither of those things will help a person make a life. They just make enemies.
They’re actually proud of their ignorance, never feeling any responsibility for their blunders.
Putin must be thrilled his plan to destroy America is going full speed ahead.
We also need to be calling out every reporter who wrote about Hillary Clinton‘s emails and demand that they give the same level of coverage to this vastly more dangerous incompetence
Of course they “don’t care enough about America to get it remotely right.” Their whole point is to BREAK the government, privatize what they can and junk the rest.
Agree. They are so stupid, they have no idea they are walking into spinning blades, set and turned on by their own narcissistic myopia and utter cluelessness about how anything works.
My belief ever since I started voting in 1984. Republicans hid their agenda better but I was 18 and saw right through it, they never changed their ways, just got arrogant and more audacious.
I was 9 when Reagan was running. I remember that I kept asking my mom why she was so enthusiastic about him when he was planning on destroying her rights. She just said that I was a child and didn’t understand politics. She still votes against her interests. And her own family. We don’t talk.
The scariest part is you wouldn’t think they could win national and even some local elections the way things are going. So maybe they don’t expect to have elections, or at least not fair ones.
Comes from the top. Trump is more concerned with hosting the Kennedy Center Honors and what musicals they can put on than anything going on in the Whitehouse.
The point of MAGA has never been to "get it remotely right". The point all along has been to destroy America and strip-mine its assets into their own pockets while grifting the idiots they need to do so.
Goal has nothing to do with caring about America-if they did, they would honor the Constitution and the laws they violate. Their goal is to have dictatorial control and rob America blind to increase their own personal financial worth, since they are sorely deficient in any other kind of worth
The Republicans confirmed this unqualified moron which makes them look like idiots! They hired him, they should fire him if they want to try to recover some dignity!
I think you are confusing incompetence with a pure lack of caring. The cruelty is the point. Hegseth (and others) is definitely incompetent. But the Regime at large just doesn't give two fucks about the actual citizens of this country.
The larger issue is you know longer have a 2 party system. You have regime loyalists and a handful of dissidents. The regime isn’t having elections so 2 parties not required.
It's cute when people still think that the cult who's spent the past half century desperately begging to kill the government are "incompetent" when they succeed. So adorable, poor little guys, obviously they're trying their best to be a government and failing, no other explanation...
Agree with you 💯 Jen, it’s a clown show but not the funny kind. Republicans use to care about security for our country but now they along with our President are aligning with Russia and Putin.
Are they 100% dependent on Project 2025, have those "authors" and Heritage on speed dial? If it ain't in that document, or nobody answers their calls, is that why this admin is filled with incompetent bozos?
Why haven't the Democrats commandeered the floor of the Senate and House to demand their Republican colleagues put America's national security and global reputation above loyalty to Trump? The Democrats should obstruct all Congressional business until action is taken.
actively working to bring the entire thing down, as requested by Putin and the oligarchs who plan to buy off the parts and leave everyone else huddling in the smoking ruins.
Some if not all of them were actually remote, not even in a secured location not in a SCIF, using their cell phones which are not allowed. One mistake right after another.
Now they’re busy covering for each other. No telling how many times they violated security protocols that we don’t know about.
“If they didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.”
If Biden or any democrat had done any of these things, they’d be all over it.
IMO, you're missing the point that ALL of this is quite on purpose on their part.
Fascism 👏always👏 destroys, it *only ever* destroys.
None of this should be surprising to anyone paying attention to what's actually going on.
In the USA, not that LONG ago, ALL involved would have been fired, tried, convicted & very likely jailed. BUT now, anything goes, hell a THIRTY FOUR Time CONVICTED FELON, adjudicated RAPIST, INSURRECTION Inciter, Classified Documents THIEF with MANY more OUTSTANDING charges occupies the White House!
Cowardice greed and hatred seem to not work for the society when governing. Billionaire Oligarchs have no worries. Patience always rewards them most as a society collapses
But their incompetence is not enough to change the electoral tide. Dems need a positive (i.e., not reactive) message, and they need it like 20 years ago. “First __ president” isn’t a program all by itself, and waiting for another GOP mistake is excruciating.
All they care is the bribes they get from the billionaires by tax cuts and modern day slavery They don’t care about their constituents at all they use them for their votes the poorly educated TrumPanZees
They don’t want to get it right. The goal is America’s destruction. Wish everyone would wake up to that fact. Trump works for Putin and Rs work for Trump. That’s the reality with which we must deal. Ignore it at our own peril.
oh look another self-righteous progressive blaming democrats because it's lazier and easier than to take personal responsibility (sarcasm font, all caps too)
You’re missing the fact that r’s run on the idea that government is part of the problem. Breaking it fits their narrative. Dems are opposite; they believe government is supposed to help. Breaking it is counter to their ideals and narrative.
The coup de grace is most voters dont understand causality
in their defense they have a couple of things working against them. They all lack any kind of self-awareness and they have the added burden of being both arrogant and morons, a truly dangerous combo.
Well, when you have an entire political party based on transactional relationships, as in "what's in it for me," then you cannot cooperate to be effective unless you employ gestapo tactics on your members. The R's are all about greed, and that means they have no concept of public service.
Gov't employees, which I was for 40 yrs, serve their country first and themselves second. We put service to others before self serving, in other words. This is foreign concept to R's, and is actively disdained by the likes of Musk and Trump. They see people who serve others as weak.
These are confederates. They always hated America. This is how they "make America great again" by putting racist white men in charge. They lost the civil war, but are in charge of this country now.
WT F has to happen before the *right* people start reacting as though the election was rigged, they’ll continue to be until we fix that, and T WORKS FOR RUSSIA? Pt’n is *using our military* via T, and the cab. is all-in. It’ll all look like Ukrn unless it’s stopped. They WILL trigger warS- plural.
I see the Rs (and Dems) of the last 20 years of politics as a symptom of a large problem of political capture of our nation and economy by the ultra wealthy. Congress is the least productive national institution. Read that again. They absolutely do not represent anyone except for the highest bidder
Trump admin people were using it in the first administration, and burner phones. They want to avoid complying with the Presidential Records Act. This is the result of not having consequences for law breaking in Republican administrations.
Yes but ultimately the American people voted for these people AGAIN. The consequence should be to lose elections for being so goddam awful and corrupt... but that's not hte case.
The onus is on the people and White Americans showed they DO NOT CARE
Because librarians are ripping us off, I presume - you don't have to be a psychiatrist to understand why Trump feels ripped off and cheated by everyone...so weak, primitive, reflexive, and reptilian. If he were in therapy, he would soon feel that way towards his Doc and destroy the process.
Susan Rice on MSNBC had thoughts (!!), why was the interim Joint Chief & Centcom Commander not involved in the discussion - probably because they would not join a Signal conversation. JD Vance talking shit abt Europe during the discussion, and Whitkoff sitting in a Moscow hotel while on the call.
Yep…this is what happens when you hire people who are only good at racism, xenophobia, misogyny and greed. They don’t have the skills to do the real job, so they just double-down on what they’re good at.
They currently have the luxury of not getting it right. Because between their spin machine and our pathetically compliant media, they can just deny allegations of incompetence or just blame others.
This is all helped, of course, by the average Trump voter having the intellect of a third-grader.
What makes people think they care about America. this administration is compromised. . The only winner is Vladimir Putin, Thanks again Merrick Garland..
The ruse of incompetence is a trick to distance us from reality, truth & ultimately our democracy. No one should believe that “conservatives” spent centuries/decades/generations plotting to destroy democracy, and, undermining elections for political power..only to be incapable of enacting agendas.
The scary part is, they do not care. Walt Nauta, valet while a petty officer and charged with espionage, now a supervisor at Annapolis!?!?! They do NOT care about the USA
The POINT is to destroy the US. They are our enemies. They are enemies of this country. They are LITERAL traitors - like legally, but definition, have violated the oaths of their office. Until millions of people get out into the street to say no, it continues.

& right now it looks like Dems don’t know how to be an opposition party - it’s right there in the word - OPPOSE THE INSANITY!

We now live in a technocratic dictatorship.
Wake up
They are America's # 1 Enemy and people need to treat them like the problems they are.
TRUMP WANTS
CHAOS to cover his criminality
VENGEANCE on his imagined enemies and our allies
HATE towards all but white, Christian, Republican (or All-Russia People’s Front), wealthy men
POWER for himself and whomever can afford “Don the Con.”🤷🏽♂️

Occam's razor.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
They’re trying to break it.
Do you still not understand?
It’s a total shitshow of incompetence.

Don’t be fooled! There is no other objective. Take over and take control of it all.
The last thing we need is another six-month bipartisan investigation!

They won’t to fuck all.
Aided by the oligarchic mass media this will be gone by Friday.
The use of Signal is intentional.
Both are dangerous.

What can we expect when the #USpresident is an incompetent imbecile?
