The president blamed unidentified Democrats for leaking information he repeatedly claimed was "fake news"—until his own defense secretary said it was real.

      Yup if this is the move, it will literally not matter who was told what. Let’s just see if schumer is on a plane out of the country in the next week or pledging allegiance to the orange

    You mean like his own National Security advisor leaked information on previous operations?

    As Hanlon’s razor goes:

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Incompetence in the white house is easy to see.

      MAGA’s razor:

      Just assume it’s both malice and stupidity.

    Has any reporter asked him, or his bimbo mouthpiece, why “false” information was classified?

      They’ll just be called nasty and told it’s a stupid question and that will hurt their feelings too much to risk asking it.

      With competent media when the question is not answered and they try to move on the next person would say “I would like an answer to [previous question]” instead of asking their own sanitized government approved question. But then they wouldn’t get invited to the president’s Big Boy Birthday Party.

    “We don’t have any evidence and we’re not telling you who the suspects are, but we’re going to fuck them up.”

    And when it happens, most Americans won’t bother to turn off Netflix.

    What if the “low trust” members need to know the information? This reeks of a power grab, to me

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
