I keep thinking this lot can’t go any lower, but they always do. Honour, integrity, character, dignity, self-respect, respect for country, service, count for nothing. Greed, ambition, entitlement, arrogance. No shame. No limits. No principles. They debase everything. I despise them. - ThreadSky

Wow — Mike Waltz on Fox News suggests Jeffrey Goldberg somehow schemed his way into the Signal group instead of just being invited by accident

Yes they are totally reprehensible!

ellyblom.bsky.social•7 days ago

Isn't it amazing that these neo-liberals keep banging on about taking responsibility for one's actions but never ever seem to take ownership of their own cockups, however humongous they may be.

rktecture.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, they all appear to be *very selective* Objectivists / Randroids

phildunn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Straight out of Cameron's playbook. How many times did he state that he took full responsibility whilst taking none? This is more egregious and potentially treasonous, but what will happen? Democracy in the US is dead.

patblair.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's extraordinary how much power is held in a US President's hands without challenge or accountability, especially one who is vindictive and ignorant. It's positively feudal. What do senators and congressmen/women actually do to earn their salaries? Some democracy.

That last bit you said, 💯

Trump is the best example. He didn’t even hide himself.
Half of American voters have voted for him.

Amorality.

rktecture.bsky.social•7 days ago

Money-mad morons. Most Americans will give anything a pass if the person who has committed the act is rich (or seen to be rich) / successful. A total amoral, unethical, broken society.

misterdac.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep. And that’s the fundamental issue.

davidabowden.bsky.social•6 days ago

As if there were any practical difference: letting him in or inviting him to a secret attack planning chat. Are they really this stupid?

Think there’s some way to go yet …

Was there an explanation as to how he found out about the group in the first place? Wouldn't it be convenient if some pleb was nominated as a whistle blower and prosecuted.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•8 days ago

And then there's this 😐

bobbobalina.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yup. This

leetaylorbythesea.bsky.social•7 days ago

That is exactly what it is, destruction of the state and the economy, Vance heads up a group that buys farm land, and many of Trump's acolytes want micro network states

alanjstedman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep, I've been pushing the network states thing for a couple of years now (over on Twitter and now here)

Thiel is the driver, Vance (Thiel's protege) his stooge

What good is the "special relationship" if it is patently abusive and our partners are complete psychopaths?

jdvero.bsky.social•8 days ago

Liars lie, that is how you tell Alex. They lie, then they lie to cover it up and then they deny doing any of it.

suegenevanana.bsky.social•7 days ago

Check out Curtis Yarvin ideology for where this mayhem originates.

huwpowell.bsky.social•8 days ago

All the signs anyone needed have been obvious for a long time

trump's disrespect for any who had genuinely served their country, put the needs of others above their own and given all they had to give could not be more obvious

Americans tend to have very limited tolerance for incompetence.

Totally this! 👆👌

This was clearly coming yesterday — I can't recall exactly what I saw but they were ready to try conspiracy rather than admit cockup. What a slimy bunch. Walz should be gone already.

lizlamb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Glad he's not gone - let's face it his replacement could be competent!!

ellenenders.bsky.social•7 days ago

on the propaganda network

franners.bsky.social•7 days ago

We endured the Tories for 14 years before enough of the population had had enough of them. Luckily the Tories didn't abolish elections so we could bring about a change of government. Not so sure the US people will have a similar opportunity in a few years time

stevesweet.bsky.social•7 days ago

Completely agree. https://bsky.app/profile/stevesweet.bsky.social/post/3llcwsarde22d

rktecture.bsky.social•7 days ago

Waltz opening with "I'm not a conspiracy theorist" is like a SE London cabbie in the 1990s opening with "I'm not racist of nothing, but..."

thinkitthrough.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are scum.

Jail them.

sarahgollin.bsky.social•8 days ago

His argument is irrelevant. It’s illegal to use it for what they were discussing for the very reason that it’s not secure.

lightenup.bsky.social•8 days ago

Likewise

marchad.bsky.social•7 days ago

His defence would surely then be an admission that all these senior officials with a responsibility for security were outwitted by a journalist.
That’s a pretty damning stance in itself.

sunnieskye.bsky.social•7 days ago

Iirc, in the actual article posted, Mr. Goldbergsaid everyone was identified only by initials + phone #.
“JG” could be a lot of different people in our gov. My question is how did they get his phone #?
If he was on a watchlist, this makes it an FFU, not just an accident.

Like BloJo and his cohorts on steroids!
