“My answer yesterday was based on my recollection—or lack thereof—of the details that were posted there,” Gabbard said.

Bitch, we can smell the bullshit 500 miles away and by the way, this makes you sound like a completely incompetent bitch.

    They caught us in the group chat (Wasn’t me)

    Saw us sharing all the war stats (Wasn’t me)

    Even leaked our secret battle plans (Wasn’t me)

    Journo read it with both hands (Wasn’t me)

    They saw the intel we’d sent out (Wasn’t me)

    Heard the calls to air it all out (Wasn’t me)

    Now denials are getting louder (Wasn’t me)

    The incompetence is so much clearer!

    I mean, she has a hugely important job. Leaking details of an attack plan is as bad as it gets but if she can’t remember details like this a mere two weeks later, she isn’t for for the job either.

    How can she make operational decisions if her memory only goes back less than two weeks???

    In the normal world everyone on that chat would be fired but we are in Trump world now so everyone just shrugs.

    Nixon would never have stepped down if watergate happened in today’s world.

    The Untied States is run by people who, upon being caught doing something wrong, say “no, we didnt”

      This whole thing is (yet another) perfect example of the narcissists prayer:

      That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

    The big take away I’m getting from this whole situation is that the powers in charge give so little fucks about the lives of our military that they would risk all of their safety and throw them under the bus just to avoid consequences and avoid record keeping. If you or someone you know is currently in the military, you should be worried.

    AKA we all know this is bullshit, but I’m going to backtrack and cover my ass just enough to not catch a perjury charge

    If everybody in Trump’s administration is this incompetent and forgetful, the entire admin needs to step aside like Biden did.
