Trump is allowed to lie. Leaker is not allowed to leak trump’s shit.

now THAT.

that is a mandate. and a lanslide. and, uh, every other euphemism trumpieddump likes to use.

since you’re also apparently "too lazy to check linked sources:…

here’s the screenshot of the politico article I linked:

an article that’s about Kegseth’s signal leaks regarding the attacks against the Houthis that absolutely did contain classified information

So you can argue that it should be that way all you want, but politico is the one you need to be arguing with. have fun with that.

it’s funny.

You’re critizing me for using a headline to determine if the article is worth my time to actually read, while not actually reading my comment. (And by the way, that’s exactly what headlines are for.)

And no, not every article posted here is worth my time or my interest.

And yes, in the context of journalism, “sensitive documents” could be anything that is either classified or confidential. that distinction is important. and in a journalistic setting (which this is, and not ‘the context of the us government’… ya dingbat), it could be anything from “how much TP is being consumed in the restrooms” which could be considered an analog for staffing levels, to classified materials (aka national secrets.)

Oh. and here’s politico reporting on Kegseth’s signal leaks. Attack details are definitely highly classified and not merely confidential.

You know… headlines should be a bit more specific.

Sensitive files could mean a lot of things. Like, he uploaded CSAM. or national security secrets. or his personal identfying documents.

Doesn’t really matter, since he’s incompetent and should be removed.

Good.

We’ll treat them better after they’ve atoned for being disposable goonsquads whose sole purpose is to bait a populace into killing them.

Rafael Cruz is prepping for another presidential run.

Apparently he doesn’t realize his gerrymandered-to-hell state’s stupidity is the only reason he’s able to reach elected office. The rest of the states despise him for the spineless, cowardly worm he is.

They didn’t even really throw her out until she got salty over not running for senate (which they told her ‘no’ cuz she’d have lost.)

They’re gonna need more than a moment to unpack their own lies about it.

Maybe don’t do chaos, huh.

Minnesota Nice? Fuck ICE!

They’ve pissed away the “Equal” part of “equal but separate” and now we have to suffer the consequences.

I suspect it happened largely because both factions wanted the unitary executive, but the goobers got their first and here we are. Dem’s spent the last 50 years strengthening the president when they wanted to, too. (See obama’s drone strikes.)

I’m a little curious where you got that I thought it was a good look?

I mean, this admin is nothing but a bunch of toddlers who aspire to be lawless tyrants. It’s not a good look, because it’s bad. Very. Bad.

take your pick:

• deployment to Minneapolis (under what trump himself has called an invasion.) (don’t believe his lies. the only unrest here is brought by federal agents violating the shit out of our rights.)

• initiating what is certainly an act of war in Venezuela.

• Same for Denmark should that happen.

• using the military to engage civilian ships in Venezuelan waters with lethal force rather than using the cost guard for police actions.

Also to your specific example, yes, it is. Constitutionally, the president is not allowed to initiate wars without approval by congress. This has been pissed away for longer than I’ve been alive, using ‘authorizations’ but it’s still largely there. (Korea, Vietnam. Iraq/Afghanistan, etc.) the only currently still active war authorization is related to the 2002 authorization meant to go after the people behind 9/11, and any attempt to link that to Venezuela is going to be a lie. (never mind Greenland and the rest of NATO.)

You dont have to obey illegal orders.

In fact, UCMJ makes it quite clear: you have to refuse them.

Yep. Even the most one sided places in the US, they’re only about 70% one side or the other.

This is why I’m deathly afraid of a “civil” war. It’ll be neighbor on neighbor; at least for the first few days.

Minnesota, it’s the hicks in the out state. Duluth is a bit mixed, but more progressive than the rural areas surrounding it, and you get up towards Roger’s and suddenly it’s trump country. Same going south, too.

The twin cities and Duluth pretty much makes me blue. (And we’re not as reliably blue as many would care to pretend.)

All I hear coming out of Cluck Cluck Chuck’s mouth is strangled… well. Clucking.

He gave up the fight.

The shit tsunami of responsibility isn’t aimed at him, but he still is getting splashed.

Well. Robin Kelly filed the articles.

We’ll see what happens, but I suspect Mike doesn’t know about any of this, either.

no… she split with him because he shat all over her senate run.
