also, apropos of nothing, but because it happened while I'm responding to you, i am binge watching Dollhouse, S01E04, specifically, and Echo (main character) just said "Blue Skies", which freaked me all the way to 11.
I haven't heard of Dollhouse in a hot minute - might be time to rewatch it. Maybe I'm being wishful about things, but I truly think we're at the stage where the constant lies and fear mongering is going to start creating a cannibal atmosphere where they start eating each other, figuratively.
if you can get behind a person who openly committed treason, one who espouses, frequently word for word, hitler's crazy talk, and who also, word for word, repeats putin's bs, and your billionaire hatchetman openly throws nazi salutes...
Oh, they wont turn on their leaders on principal, it'll be because they've been programmed to mindlessly attack on certain cues. Using hate to control people is effective, but you need more and more as the mind becomes accustomed to it's current levels until eventually it's out of control.
I came here to say this, too. If they are truly Republicans Against Trump, why are the voting with him and not actually doing anything to curb him and DOGE? When they start literally opposing him, that's when I'll start believing them.
House Democrats need to be hammering their R colleagues for abdicating their constitutional duty to check the executive branch. Trump needs them, and they're far less popular/more vulnerable.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, stop the performative letters to Trump and work your room.
They keep focusing on the reporter when that isn't even the issue. Like he said, they used an unclassified system to discuss highly classified information, which is illegal. They are all mad their stupidity got them caught.
I guess its only these dudes who know and understand how serious business security clearances are. Pete & Company think its some fuckin VIP ticket to conduct it how the fuck ever they want to
They're more likely to speak out if their constituents have the courage to demand more. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski had a press conference where she said her fellow senators are scared of Musk's primary threats.
If voters speak up, then Congressional reps have less to fear if they go against Musk
I never knew how many cowards were in congress willing to submit so easily to an overgrown toddler with bad hair and a fake tan. And where are the democrats? Forget Carville. Get out the boxing gloves, get in the effing ring and start landing a few blows. NOW.
If no one is indicted for this, we may as well come to the realization that the Mafia is in charge. If there's no rules for them, there can be no rules to stop us from taking it back.
Don't be afraid to say the name, always refer to the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the proper title: the convicted felon Donald Krasnov Trump
I think his repetitive use of the same old tired, inapplicable adjectives... "beautiful"... "perfect"... "great"... "crooked"... etc. is indicative of his increasing dementia.
They want this to go away because it shows gross incompetence at every single turn, by those in high office. They keep digging because to admit they screwed up will open the investigation flood gates. We simply need to keep the pressure on.
George. The time for speaking out and being nice is over. Martial Law is coming. You are living in a totalitarian state. Everyone needs to be fully prepared to defend themselves, their country and their rights. Make no mistake-this will not stop through legal action.
How did any of these morons get security clearances or have uncompromising background checks. Have we really devolved this much as a country to just not care about security anymore.
The more the merrier, cos once they turn on the drumpf regime, there's little power he can hold over anyone or anything, making it far easier to cart him out of the whitehouse in the back of a prison transport truck...
Hey Don! You’re on the fucking Armed Services Committee and Chair of the Cyber, Information Technology, and Innovation (CITI) subcommittee. How about you put your money where your mouth is and stand up in one of them and demand all the Signal dipshits must be fired and investigated?
Facts. I worked comm support for a base and watched a colonel get knocked down a rank for e-mailing sensitive (Secret) asset lists and locations to unclassified e-mails.
Was the first time I ever learned how to delete and create new exchange mailboxes (sanitization process). Good times.
Calling it an error is like calling a hit & run an "oopsie daisy". They are still downplaying the severity of the problem. Not only was it criminally negligent, they compounded the problem by collectively lying to Congress about it. And they continue to use Signal to evade record retention policies.
That's all we ask. Just the simple unvarnished truth. No equivocations. No spin. You can still be an R, a conserv, a 'good christian,' and give lip service to whatever else you want to add to your resume, but just tell the truth on such a basic obvious item that concerns our national security!
as the Guardian in the UK puts it: “What should be clear to already shocked allies of the US is that not only is intelligence and other sensitive material not safe in the hands of Trump’s senior security officials, but that they cannot be counted on to be truthful individually or as a group.”
Don isn't afraid to 'say' something. But he'll never, ever do anything to break from lock step.
Called his office the other week and the staffer who answered assured me that the USAID cuts were crucial because USAID gave money to the lab in WUHON responsible for the 'lab leak' of COVID.
Call the DOD Inspector General and leave a message as this meets the requirements for an investigation. 1 (800) 424-9098 (hit option 1 for Army and you can leave a message of concern).
It does seem intentional. But what was the intention? Is it just another act to make sure the American citizens know they have no respect for the law and they will do whatever they want? Their people fly black flags with skulls on them that say "Kill them all and let God sort them out."
We do. I loath people like Don Bacon because he understands the importance of security, intelligence, Ukraine and soft power...and he was the first to endorse trump and other than tweet has done nothing to stop Trump. Nothing.
The good news is that he incorrectly thinks there's twice as many people calling him a DUI hire as there actual is, what with the double vision and all.
I am having a hard time respecting ANY of them right now, but I have to give credit where it's due here. They ALL need to be encouraged to do that. Despite the fact that we haven't seen much of it yet, there WILL come a point (I hope) where their lack of credibility is gonna sink 'em if they don't.
Actually, he wouldn't have just lost his clearances, he would have been tried and imprisoned period. They all sign agreeing to this and more, for such violations.
We need to pressure more Republicans to speak out. We’re spending way too much time and energy beating up Dems, and not nearly enough shaming Republicans.
Just saw YouTube commercial where the Trump association is blaming Biden. I would like to see some media groups fact check any commercials they put out.
Not holding my breath. #nazis are cowards by nature.
They’re also kinda like anglerfish: they find the biggest fattest ugliest one and latch onto before being physically absorbed into the hideous amalgam and reduced to nothing more than a dick.

There's one Putin party of liars, thieves, and murderers.
now we wait to see if they do anything meaningful about it.

you know, because of the app.

My fav is Goldberg hacked his way in. And there judge is why using Signal is a no no.
If voters speak up, then Congressional reps have less to fear if they go against Musk
They will not speak out because they are contained by their electorate.
They groomed those folks for decades to be willfully ignorant nut jobs and so they are now trapped by the opinion of the mob.
I hope there are some "good" republicans that still believe in our country but gees the bar is so low for them
Don't think he hasn't done it before. Last year there were over 30 MAGAs in the House that complained that he threatened them and their children.

Before anyone can investigate one travesty, he’s done something worse, more offensive and even less legal.
And in between, just to maximize chaos, he reverses himself willy nilly.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Use this number: (202) 224-3121
Demand they fight for the removal of Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard and anyone else who lied under oath or compromised national security.
It's an easy call. All you have to know is your Congressperson's name and it will connect you.
There's a deeper mens rea there
Or a heart?
It wasn't an error. It was gross negligence.
But hey get the likes I guess.
If Gabbard, Hegseth, or Vance were active duty during this, they would never see the outside of a prison cell again.
They’re also kinda like anglerfish: they find the biggest fattest ugliest one and latch onto before being physically absorbed into the hideous amalgam and reduced to nothing more than a dick.
