The idea that our national security could be so easily and quickly dismantled is more about purposeful corruption than even their blatant incompetence. One was even in Moscow during the call. They’ve also completed the task of working as a foreign asset not having to be registered and closed all our cyber security offices. All this in the last week. We are being invaded by enemies. From within. And they’re winning. Because the volume and speed they’re doing it is incomprehensible to our complacent minds.
Yes, Mary, a huge shoutout to Goldberg is certainly in order. He is risking a lot taking on the wrath of the moron and his henchmen. It’s distressing to see a continuation of the belittling of the press’ most distinguished members by Trump and his clowns. Goldberg is among that group, and I’ve admired his writing and his leadership of The Atlantic for years. Trump is perfectly willing to trot out all the tools of retribution at his disposal, and they are willing to do his bidding, or so it seems; DOJ, IRS, HHS. All guilty. In some ways this attempt at throttling the free press is more serious than the shenanigans by the bunch of clowns in that group grope.
DJT, and his Minions are Assaulting at the least the 1st & 4th Amendments... If you are a compromised Lawyer, then the DJT Regime has a place for you...
I’ve been a subscriber to The Atlantic for several years now, and I’ve never considered canceling it. It’s an excellent source of information.
And by the way.. … Jeffrey Goldberg is the journalist who exposed Trump’s comments during his first term about veterans being “suckers and losers.” No love lost there between the two.
I would disagree that we have complacent minds, and the volume and speed they're doing it at is allowing them to "win".
What's allowing them to win is the people who are SUPPOSED to stop them, are fully complicit with it, and even cheering it on. And some of them purport to be on our side, but they still voted to confirm these clownish buffoons, so really, how much on OUR side are they really?
Right? I probably shouldn’t have said « complacent » though. More like « comfortable » because I don’t think Americans like me thought this could happen so swiftly.
What really scares me, as if there’s not enough to sh*t worry about over the next 3+ years, is the warning pre 2020 election. “If 🤡 wins, this could be our last election”. State Repubs will be a lot more willing to do whatever it takes, including breaking the law, because what consequence do they have to worry about?
If only a good portion of the Dems weren’t siding with the Houthis!! Dems seem determined to continue to ignore the economic pain of their base and instead waste their time on trans rights (all ten or so such athletes) and free speech for terrorists. Can they even tax the rich? Or the leaders are too rich themselves to care about it.
I think "RDW" is yet another spambot account? If you look at its posts.... same pattern of random restacks mixed with peculiar and incomprehensible sentence fragments with keywords in them. And the comments have that weird chatGPT quality.
It was a bit off topic and I am glad that they are falling prey to their stupidity or that someone is setting these guys up (as West Point Goggin theorizes); however, if you think the base base cares a wit, you are mistaken. It’s more 14th Amendment theoretical folderol to them. The adults have left the building and Putin or whoever has infested their motor-neuron controls. Let’s see if the democrats prevent the extension of the trump tax cuts. By their deeds you shall know them. Sold out and selling us out and that’s on both sides of the aisle.

I agree. I think a better term might have been « comfortable ». And yes. The complicity of republicans toward fascist has been stunningly horrific.
They’re a bunch of tools for Putin.
I know, it's like getting whiplash/watching a tennis match. None of this is thought out in advance. Can they all stroke out at the same time ?

I don't think anyone thought it would happen that quickly.
Why have “they” let it get this far, WHY?
Perhaps you did not read Project 2025 — it declared intention to make rapid changes
Or at all... it never once crossed my mind that MY country, the defender of freedom would ever elect someone so heinous
AND THEN DO IT AGAIN
we must somehow deserve this ?
A lot of people are cattle and want to be lead
Oh, Lisa!! "Can they all stroke out at the same time ?" Yes.
Yes, in a just universe.
Yes

Dt even told us during his 2024 campaign, "Vote for me, and you'll never have to vote again." Probably the only campaign promise he intends to keep.
I'm holding on to the hope that they will not win

How to show you’re clueless in one post. Sad!
