I’m honestly surprised they talk in private the same way they talk in public.

wallawalla-99.bsky.social•45 days ago

And now they have to continue bombing Yemen, cause the Houtis giving up isn't really in the cards.

michelesrp.bsky.social•45 days ago

Um, mini Goebbels, did anyone (Europe or Egypt) ask you to bomb Yemen? No. So, your point is like you trying to charge me when you take yourself out to dinner and a movie. Fucking Nazi twat.

awkwardpause.bsky.social•45 days ago

They actually don’t let Miller near the augury sacrifices anymore since that one incident with the—you know what? Let’s get on Signal, I’ll tell you the rest there.

dirtside.bsky.social•45 days ago

i mean are you sure you want the Atlantic involved

awkwardpause.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’d trust the Atlantic with my pants before I’d trust any of these guys.

ralphhhenson.bsky.social•45 days ago

Everything is a transaction with these clowns.

qm61.bsky.social•45 days ago

What’s concerning about the Signal debacle is not so
much the content but rather the process. It’s now understood that US foreign policy and military operations are decided thru cavalier text messaging without a focused understanding of the matter.

Texting your mates for drinks is fine. Warfare??

bearpondboy.bsky.social•45 days ago

End. Times.

sportyjtb.bsky.social•45 days ago

Isn't just like below, where Miller and Hegseth are wearing sunglasses, the officer is Europe, and Trump is offscreen? But rather than harming Europe, they want to help it (and more so China).

keeptheskyblue.bsky.social•45 days ago

Great, now we know all this military-for-hire bullshit is coming from Stephen 'Vampire' Miller. 🦇

kipoca.bsky.social•45 days ago

Everything has to have a short term payback. The stupidest foreign policy.

fitzjohn.bsky.social•45 days ago

"If Europe doesn't remunerate, then what?"

Well, obviously, Stephen, then we unbomb. Duh.

This is such a Brezhnev-era Kremlinology stuff.

lylescout.bsky.social•45 days ago

He does look like he enjoys carrion, or at least he did before he got chubby.

classicjanvier.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's wild to me that they actually think Trump would restore freedom to the region

loraqs.bsky.social•46 days ago

How about we just hang all those involved? One of them did the Signal thing to avoid accountability, so maybe they should all suffer.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•45 days ago

itsmikeschwartz.bsky.social•45 days ago

Trump cared only about killing people he doesn’t consider fully human so he can think he is powerfuk and not the insecure pussy that he is deep down.

lfillingham.bsky.social•45 days ago

Reading the whole thing, it seemed that no one really cared whether it was that day or a month later, but once SM spoke, even though he wasn't very clear on what Trump said, the others went along. Which is not how foreign policy or military strikes are supposed to work.

bornindaeb.bsky.social•45 days ago

SM fits: sadomasochism

lfillingham.bsky.social•45 days ago

Furthermore, I suspect they are all scared of SM. Which is not how anything should work.

popezebbidiexii.bsky.social•45 days ago

Since he is possessed by a dybbuk it's not surprising he has them on edge

queengwenevere.bsky.social•45 days ago

He does seem to be the unofficial official Trump Whisperer now.

Which, yeah, that’s… not how anything should work. At all. Ever.

institute11.bsky.social•46 days ago

I think it is more likely that Stephen Miller is guiding Trump's decision making—or outright making the decisions for Trump—when it comes to any specific, complex socio-political situation.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•45 days ago

Stephen Miller is running the Government 😱

marcusaurealius007.bsky.social•45 days ago

In to the ground!

queengwenevere.bsky.social•45 days ago

Considering the extremely likely probability of rapidly advancing dementia, yep.

cccrose.bsky.social•45 days ago

yikes, i think you are right!
Well, yikes, either way

inkmyrose.bsky.social•46 days ago

No one is even talking about this.

wesleymorgan.bsky.social•46 days ago

No?

joshmanning.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fantastic analysis (and copy!)

davidjorgonson.bsky.social•46 days ago

Or appealing to Trump upsets the temporary truce between them (see Vance's comments)

anarchymarshmallow.bsky.social•45 days ago

They're talking about bombing human beings with exactly 0 concern for the gravity of what they're doing and the human lives and any of it. It's obscene

kotonoaware.bsky.social•45 days ago

To be quite fair, the previous administrations bombed the same, they just weren't as crass (in public, mostly - there's that photo where Hillary is the only one shocked) about it. I doubt it matters to the victims.

anarchymarshmallow.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh agreed. Previous administrations have been bombing and detaining and being fascist little heels as well. The new guys are crass but also stupid in a way that is (already has) made the country a target and we're all gonna catch the brunt of the downfall.

deadlyflowers.bsky.social•45 days ago

Bunch of Skeksis.

anarcho.bsky.social•45 days ago

They had a million dollar a plate dinner at Mar A Lago to celebrate bombing

anarchymarshmallow.bsky.social•45 days ago

The speed with which my mind turns to self immolation these days whenever I hear stuff like this is gonna be fun to discuss with my therapist.

dysamoria.com•45 days ago

Don’t punish yourself for the acts of malignant narcissists.

thereallajones.bsky.social•46 days ago

Who poured human blood on Joseph Goebbels' asses & resurrected that shithead? 🤬

stickybunny.bsky.social•45 days ago

You have to imagine him doing that weird head-jerk tick of his while you read his words.

claghorn.bsky.social•45 days ago

Or perhaps Trump isn't actually running things at all (just like they claimed for Biden).

ramonarjona.bsky.social•45 days ago

The dude is looking for remuneration like we are mercenaries. Are we... are we Cobra?

jamesbenton.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is a comment on the dynamic, not their appearances.

rszimm.bsky.social•45 days ago

It took Pete Hegseth 11 minutes to respond to Miller because it took him 11 minutes to Google “remunerate.” Also he was probably looking at stepdaughter porn.

geegeeloch.bsky.social•45 days ago

Sounds like a mob henchman who understands the code speech his boss uses so he does not get pinned with any blame.

silkyweineck.bsky.social•45 days ago

and the answer is always the same: “remuneration.”Mob shit. Here specifically protection money.

philoof.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly

jakeh91.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why is “economic gain” the only metric that matters to these people?!

dysamoria.com•45 days ago

They’re sociopaths and malignant narcissists. They don’t function like regular people. It’s high time we as a civilization recognize that antisocial personality disorders need to be filtered AWAY from power and wealth, not rewarded with it. Also, we need to stop manufacturing broken people.

neizanj.bsky.social•45 days ago

100%! People need a better understanding of what a sociopath is so we can ensure they stop getting in positions of power

dysamoria.com•45 days ago

I get the impression it’s just a word to most people, and not particularly impactful; that they think these are fictional things, or super rare and only occur in obscure contexts, rather than, say, a majority of corporate executives. Then there’s the resistance to calling it out in public figures.

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•46 days ago

America just booted itself out from NATO.

bglazebrook26.bsky.social•45 days ago

The guy doesn't even know the difference between e.g. and i.e. - how can anyone take him seriously? I thought these guys were all about promoting a "classical" education.

matthewpb.bsky.social•45 days ago

I think he’s used e.g. correctly

minkysma.bsky.social•45 days ago

I think he meant i.e. ...as he was clarifying the meaning of the previous sentence, not listing examples.

matthewpb.bsky.social•45 days ago

He’s giving an example of a possible problem that could arise.

minkysma.bsky.social•45 days ago

I read as explaining what it would mean to "...figure out how to enforce such a requirement." But either way, nbd.

keeptheskyblue.bsky.social•45 days ago

There was no need for e.g. or i.e in that sentence.

matthewpb.bsky.social•45 days ago

Ok, but what he means is “for example “

minkysma.bsky.social•45 days ago

They were enrolled but skipped out on class and paid other people to take their exams for them

philmarsden.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's not as if there isn't a precedent for an autocratic leader barking out half-understood orders and leaving it for his loyal deputies to dispute between them what he meant.

didabrown.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's always "what will we get in return" with these ghouls
