You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I am beginning to have serious doubts that this was an accident. Considering how many steps are required to add people to a Signal group chat, I think the person who added Jeffrey Goldberg might have done so deliberately. This might be an act of protest by a dissenter within the administration.

Trump Says Any Decent Father Would Have Made Hunter Biden Ambassador to France

The United States may have actually accomplished something no one had ever thought possible for at least two thousand years.... we have managed to unite the French, the Germans, and the British against a common enemy.

I see Vivek Ramaswamy, the new "codirector" of the non-existant Department of Government Efficiency, has proposed a plan to cut government waste by firing all Federal employees whose Social Security numbers "start or end with an odd number". So he's proposing the Thanos method 🤔
