The incompetence is beyond staggering.
It’s absurd.

I can’t say I’m shocked. I am however extremely disappointed that not one Republican has asked for their resignations.

I'm just an ordinary teacher and farmer, but even *I* know to make my Venmo friend list and transactions private. A no-brainer!

I’m in my 60s and know better! These ignorant people… 🤦🏼‍♀️

What an idiot. At least it’s public now

If I wrote a fiction book with this level of incompetent government officials in the story line it wouldn't sell a single copy and the reviews would read something like "characters are unbelievable, author took too many liberties trying to dumb them down".

Why does he have so many Venmo connections? I use Venmo to receive payments for jobs. Hmm this is so weird. Should IRS have a look?

Imbecile.

Plot Twist: The thing that will save us is the incompetence of these morons.

I would like to hope you are correct; however, FOTUS and his Keystone Cops seem to have an uncanny knack for surviving even the nadir of their own criming and incompetence

Given how unlikely it would be for one of the chat participants to accidently include a liberal journalist in their top secret chat, perhaps someone (a patriotic insider, a hacker?) was trying to reveal that Trump's team was deliberately using a compromised app so that Russians could listen in.

I support the theory that Anonymous added the reporter

I assume we have no secrets at this point.

And this is where Waltz takes one for the team. The rest of these ding dongs will continue to endanger our safety at the highest level.

You can’t fix stupid.

Der Speigel also found information.

suzannelori.bsky.social•4 days ago

Der Speigel isn't on bsky. Anyone here on X want to ask him for the data?

I think I just need to go back to watching Breaking Bad, at least those criminals are relatively competent.

bestsloth.bsky.social•4 days ago

Walt was stone cold. These guys are a joke.

crenie.bsky.social•4 days ago

I just finished West Wing, at least those White House officials were wicked smart!

marytorgersen.bsky.social•4 days ago

These people couldn’t have been properly vetted!

How long have these people used these Chats?

Why is he sending money around?

was Jeffery Goldberg in his contacts?

When I worked for the government, in the days of landlines, I didn’t even have a listed telephone number. Keystone Cops, Three Stooges, Trump Administration. All the same.
