curious: do you consider the DC area to be "Dumbfuckistan"?
of page 6
I think of DC as more of a zoo with a lot of elected criminals. That also has a shitty NBA basketball team.
How do you feel bungle?

doin' better, thanks for asking!
one thing about the area: lotsa educated populace. NIH main campus alone is about an hour from me, but that is because of traffic. I'm betting if I were in HPG world that distance would be 15 min tops

You prove my point with every post.
Still deflecting...or "white flag" if you prefer.
You’ve always been pretty good at pulling out the cliches when you have nothing else (which is most of the time). Two in one sentence here. About par for the course for an Econ major. You must have been turned down by the Engineering, Sociology, Drama and Phys Ed departments. Or did you realize from the start where your level of incompetence was?

OK, I'll ask you one more time. but I'm sure you'll punt again, as it's what you do.
It's a two-part question so pay attention closely Rain Man.
Did the high egg prices begin under Biden, and did admin make it worse but butchering millions of chickens?

How are we doing?
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

It isn't like he intentionally destroyed documents and put some in his socks and that kind of thing. Right?

We all need to quit jumping to the defense of fuckups. If Hegseth did this, it’s a major screwup. No matter who he works for. No matter which party…which prez.

BTW, your Dear Leader's White House is saying that no classified info was shared in the chat.
Yet for some reason the contents aren't shareable in a Congressional hearing....

No clue. I don't even know what Signal is. Just reading what is being reported, which per usualm deviates wildly from what you post here.
You want to tell us why you keep referencing Hegseth when it appears that it was Waltz's crew that fucked up?

1) Everyone in that chat room should be fired (if not also criminally charged) for putting national security info on a 3rd party software.
2) Hegseth failed to object to what should have been blatantly obvious (use of 3rd party software to avoid being held accountable while also putting our nation's secrets on a software that has been accessed by the Russians.
He was never qualified to be SecDef. Even as great as a leader as he was Major Richard Winters wouldn't have accepted that position because even he would acknowledge his lack of qualifications. And Hegseth isn't qualified to shine Major Winters' boots.

Ratcliffe said that when he was confirmed as CIA director he was briefed by agency officials about “the use of Signal as a permissible work use” and “a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration”.

Since apparently you have no intention of answering this question...here's the answer:
I'm seeing responses from many experts with school-aged children who are saying that even their kids can't believe the stupidity of doing war planning in group chat.
But hey....at least Hegseth, Waltz & company aren't DEI hires....

The Chinese undoubtedly utilize their brightest minds for IT matters when it comes to national security.
We likely employ people who were too lazy or too dumb to get jobs in the private sector.
This does not bode well…and hasn’t for many years.
No, the wealthy American IT people are too cheap to hire the best in America. Take a look at how many with visas work in our IT firms.
That’s true. We’re just fucked every which way.

The Pentagon always gets to the bottom of every fuck up and holds those responsible fully accountable. You're going to have to trust me on this one (And it helps in that respect if you've never seen what is linked below).

They weren't doing "war planning," dumbfuck. They were discussing public messaging about an operation that was underway and, if it was a serious discussion it would be on SIPRNet or JWICS with secure devices. The question of why they were using an unauthorized, encrypted civilian app is fair. Three possibilities come to mind:
1. They were going off book. That's a serious allegation. The problem with that possibility is that it wasn't an "off book" type of conversation. There was nothing damaging or damning in the discussion. It was a fairly routine policy discussion not involving staging a coup...against themselves.
2. They were baiting a mole. That they traced the invite to one of Waltz's staffers makes that conceivable.
3. They wanted this discussion to leak. To whom? I couldn't say. Euros? Saudis? It's their trade that is getting impacted. Perhaps a way of getting a subtle dig in?
