The goddamn Trump Administration

The user identified as Hegseth responded three minutes later: “VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.

Wait. They actually believe that stuff? They’re not just play acting for low information voters? That’s hilarious.

But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this. Nobody else even close.

But interesting that they still see Europe as “their side”…?!

Maybe not fake. (Fuckup?)

Maybe Dems are getting the message that it’s a good idea to speak bluntly.

It might be, though? (For uses that don’t involve state-level actors trying to intercept communications.) WhatsApp is apparently sharing a certain amount of information with Meta, and that could very well include enough meta-data to out members of the group, given the data that Facebook collects.

It’s real. I never deleted my account, although I hadn’t logged in in months. This is a screenshot I took on my phone.

I read the piece in the atlantic earlier today.

It’s so real.

The chief officer of buttery males drunk texted active war plans on a third party app and didn’t even notice who was in the chat.

She was questioning if that was a real tweet from Buttigieg, because of the ‘fuck’.

Sigh. The last time I was drunk (and awake) at 2am, texts weren’t actually a thing.

(excerpt) Donald Trump made a disturbing slip up during Monday’s cabinet meeting, where he confessed he was “activated last week”. Trump was humiliated by Putin after being kept waiting ahead of their phone call, but he has continued to attack Ukraine and firmly take Russia’s side in the war.

A former Soviet intelligence officer claimed Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename ‘Krasnov’ - and his unusual choice of the word ‘activation’ has led to fears there may be some substance there.

Trump says he ‘got activated last week’ in disturbing slip up amid fears he is Russian asset

“It’s me. Krasnov.”

I don’t know, looking at it in context it looks more like he meant “aggravated” but couldn’t think of the correct word. He used it when talking about attacks on Tesla dealerships, which I wouldn’t think of as Russia’s priority. I still think it’s entirely possible he’s a Russian asset, but I would think he’d have been “activated” long before a week ago, based on what he’s been doing.

Trump being Trump, his seeming brain-dead admission at being “activated” falls in line with anything he says… including any unusual timing regarding that admission. His mind is last year’s spaghetti.

NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that “I heard two US government officials talking and they said ‘there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.’”
