Everyone knows that. The point is to create a deterrent by making it clear that they are 1) taking the threat seriously and 2) already preparing and planning to defend, IOW not fucking around. Sending some extra troops to the island and/or flying some jets around the area on a regular isn’t a bad idea either.
NATO countries should put out a statement that they are ready to defend Greenland from any incursion.
I don’t want my state to join Canada (it’s a red state far from the border), but I want to immediately move to one of the states that would be joining Canada. So I think the poll results would be even higher if the question was asked in a way to include people who would answer like I did.
Because the DOJ who would charge them is being run by the same criminal mob.
“Why is everyone in MAGA going after Waltz when it was @PeteHegseth@SecDef that sent all the classified stuff?” posted former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a longtime conservative critic of the president.
Why not both? Or all for that matter. They were ALL violating the Federal Records Act, a crime.
They were a bit vague, I think because they don’t know whether Waltz personally set up the chat or had someone under him do it for him. Either way he’s the participant who is responsible for the invites. I’d just like more details on how it could have even happened that JG was added.
So many questions. Did Waltz (or underling) think the initials represented someone else they meant to add (and if so, who)? Did they just fat finger tapping on a list of names? Or maybe carelessly re-used a name list from some previous chat that JG was in? If it was an underling, did they know who JG was and deliberately added him in to leak the illegal avoidance of the Records Act that’s been going on? It’s all just so weird.
Thanks. From reading that it sounds like it was indeed Waltz himself. He is described as “the top aide” (who included Goldberg) .
I haven’t found anything so far saying who invited him in. Just passive voice that he was “inadvertently” included. So in your source that it was Waltz, did it say whether he personally did it or was it one of his staff? I’d be interested to know how it happened. Did someone misunderstand who “JG” meant? (apparently it was just his initials). If so, who with the initials JG did they think they were inviting. I’d appreciate any link with that info if you have it.
Every time I see a headline saying trump’s approval rating has plummeted, I look and it’s always in the mid to upper 40’s. Every time. It never changes.
Meanwhile, I suspect that someone on the inside quietly looped the journalist into the group as a way to expose what’s been going on. If so, that person is in grave danger.
OTOH he did stay on it as long as he could while still being able to protect himself by saying he didn’t think it could be real and most likely a scam or attempt to entrap, plus the thread was basically over by then anyway.
No heads will roll. What most stories miss is that the main reason they didn’t use official channels for this (and most likely many of their other conversations as well) is that they don’t want to comply with the Federal Records Act. They don’t want there to be a record of a lot of the shit they’re saying and doing and plan to do.
That was it, thanks.
He’s already threatened to stop federal funds going to Maine because the governor there said something he didn’t like (I don’t remember what it was).
Yeah I’d much rather see a photograph of that.
They won’t be able to complain because you’ve turned off all the phones and shut down most of the SSA branches.
trump is going ahead and doing whatever he wants anyway, regardless of laws or court orders, with the full support of the R party which is in the majority in both Houses anyway.
Only one House Dem voted yes on it (Jared Golden of Maine). So it passed 217-213 because R’s have the majority and one of them defected as well. So House Dems are holding together pretty well, but as long as the R’s also hold together there’s nothing they can do to stop them.
Only the Senate D’s could have stopped the bill, by voting against cloture (even though Dems are in the minority, cloture requires 60 votes). But not only Schumer but 9 other quislings (8 D’s and 1 I) voted with the fascists. List of them here. But Schumer is Leader so if he had taken a stand against it, probably some of those other 9 would have followed his lead and it could have been stopped.
It’s still good for the House Dems to be doing this, though, calling attention to the problem so more people will call their Dem senators demanding that they take action as well.
Thank you, Senator Booker!
