Thanks for the clearest explanation yet of what occurred and the ramifications. I can't stop thinking about our people in the air and on the ground (military, Dept of State, etc.) who are being put at extreme risk by these incompetent cretins.

Our Psychological and Political Pandemic DR. BANDY X. LEE

🔸️Mental pathology in a president is a public matter. The more severe the mental pathology the less one will recognize that one is even ill.

🔸️Every other job that deals with life or death has a mental fitness evaluation as a requirement, even before one takes the position.

🔸️Without mental fitness evaluations, the public needs to know the danger of certified madness in politics. When dangerous mental pathologies are allowed to spread like a pandemic, an Extinction Level Event is headed straight for Earth. The U.S. could be a shining example of how to stop dangerous mental pathologies before they worm their way into politics but it is now left with "emergency cleanup on aisle madness'.

Last week some Congressional Republicans objected to US NATO policy, Besides Mike Rogers and Roger Wicker, many other Congressional Replublicans have called out Trump on national security. Mike Turner R Ohio and many others in essence call Trump a liar re Putin and Ukraine.

What do Rogers, Wicker and Turner say this week?

We only need a few to have shared government -- without Trump/Vance.

Besides national security, consituents and donors have to be pissed about Musk/DOGE. The entire cattle industry is in panic and so should about 20 Republican senators and dozens of House members in cow country. Every car dealer and the big three should be pissed about Trump's Tesla infrormercial. Everyone whon receives any govenment benefit od any kind should be concerned. Anyone who does business with Canada and Mexico.

Feathers of Hope. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/

It’s been decades since I was in a secure facility. Even in the 70’s and 80’s without the personal technology we have now anyone speaking of such classified matters over an unsecured phone would be busted and run out of the service - I witnessed a Lieutenant Commander USN with that outcome. And we just saw Tulsi Gabbard (painted like a depression era chicken coop) refuse to answer the simplest of questions. “Were you on the group chat or not?”

Our Congress and Senate are such cowards they’ll never hold the clown car responsible. Disgraceful.

Don’t worry, Putin knew of and had approved the plans in advance of the call.

No comment on why they wanted to conduct this bombing raid? Trump wanted to show his muscles and charge the cost to Europe. Pathetic

Good question - why ? For purposes of extortion ?

John Bolton also said it was obvious it was classified because they talked of Egypt and Europe paying for this strike because thats the way Trump does business but they hadn’t been extorted yet.

Well, when you want to send and delete traitorous or criminal things, SIGNAL is THE APP for you... And it's a Project 2025 thing for them to all use it now... Even on Government devices that are not supposed to even have things like that installed...

Well, they are always completely at odds which policies - how they are supposed to be handling things. Rules are meant to be broken is their motto. Rules are for other people to follow. I get a lot of joy out of seeing Gabbard and Patel in the hot seat, and hope there’s more, a lot more.

This is, so far, the most incompetent and dangerous thing the Cabinet has been caught doing. Our fellow service members are going to get hurt or die because of shit like this. OpSec is the backbone of our military, we ALL learned this growing up. I have 1 hope that when we break through this nightmare, every single member of this Administration and all of those who enabled them, get punished to the fullest extent of the law. Every single one. They deserve nothing less and we deserve so much more. I hope Hegseth gets recalled, dishonorably discharged, and sent to Leavenworth for the crimes he has committed.

Keep vigilant Fred and keep telling the truth. Your voice is needed now more than ever.

Why the hell was Stephen Miller involved in this chat?? This was about bombing terrorists, not immigrants.

Perhaps the administration’s version of DEI requires that a certain percentage of Nazis be present at all meetings.

Given that MAGA is a cult, next Houthi bombardement could be planned through messenger using the daughter's phone of the DOD chief in vacation in Beijing, that the Republicans wouldn't flinch.

It’s THEIR JOB to make sure all highly sensitive material is NOT seen or heard inappropriately. They have special rooms in government for that purpose.

ITS THEIR JOB TO KEEP US SAFE.

THEIR JOB. And we’re paying them a ton of money and gold plated benefits to do that.

We're all pawns in their game of checkers. Profound mental illness of us prez proving highly contagious. Delusions are multiplying exponentially. We've let this go on for far too long.

No military leads in the chat. They should have been in the room, and they never would have permitted this convo.
