Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

The White House posted a photo of Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of Personnel Dan Scavino, and other administration officials on its X account on Saturday evening. The photo shows a makeshift room surrounded by black curtains and multiple maps of the region.

Jesus H Fucking Christ. This is a security violation, severe damage to national security, complete incompetence and insult to all of us who take national security seriously of epic proportions.

Also leaving couch fucker in vice president actually in charge in the situation room is such a dereliction of duty.

But but the emails?

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (6 children)

A security violation? From the guy who said "You're the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it." during an interview? From the administration that accidentally texted it's plans to bomb Yemen to a journalist 2 hours before the attack? You mean the guy that tweeted photos from a satellite so classified, the last guy that leaked photos from it was sent to jail for espionage? The guy that stole hundreds of classified documents and destroyed an unknown number more? Nah...

Looking at this photo as well as a few others, I have identified like 14 opsec failures.

This administration is a fucking joke.

Not seen: behind the cameras a stray dog wanders in through a screen door that's flapping in the breeze.

These were probably the same Iran invasion plans he had been letting like Kid Rock look at and were likely seen by numerous spies.

What a bullshit country we've become.

We've arranged ourselves to be in compliance with the content of one, doddering racist's fever dream of America.

The video of him walking around shaking hands and getting back pats from the abundantly available sycophants and psychopaths at Mar-A-Lago while he launches an illegal war to further destabilize an entire region and kill 100+ children at a hospital is viscerally disgusting.

This war is possibly the most American thing he has ever done. He's simply following the long tradition of American imperialism in the Middle East: from the CIA-backed coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Mossadeq in 1953 to protect oil interests, to arming the Mujahideen against the Soviets, funding the very networks that would fracture into the Taliban and al-Qaeda; from Bush Sr.'s 1991 Gulf War that entrenched permanent bases in the region, to Bush Jr.'s 2003 invasion of Iraq built on fabricated WMD claims; to Obama's 2011 NATO intervention in Libya that toppled Gaddafi under a "responsibility to protect" mandate, then abandoned the country to militia warlords and slave markets. Each chapter follows the same script: regime change, chaos, retreat, and the next generation of blowback.

the very networks that would fracture into the Taliban and al-Qaeda;

Then they act all surprised when 9/11 happens.

I mean look at that solid SecOps with that curtain separating them and their secure comms from the rest of the international golfers that are definitely not spies.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is that a real picture? He’s melting …

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago (6 children)

What press dude let that out?

  • He looks like he's 90 and not 79
  • He didn't have time to do his hair
  • He looks pissed and scared at the same time? Not sure how that's possible, but it's true.

Yeah look at the right face droop. You can tell when he has a TIA because he starts making exceptionally terrible decisions to feel like he's still in control

Also, what kind of a fucked up person stats a war and is casually at a giving gold course? I mean that's just all kinds of pathetic to declare a war, looking school kids while you're off on yet another golf vacation instead of needing there making the tough calls, just absolutely fucking pathetic.
