“Tip of the iceberg”: Experts sound the alarm after Trump blabbed nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago
“Tip of the iceberg”: Experts sound the alarm after Trump blabbed nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago
“If that’s all that was discussed, we already know all that,” he told the Times. “We have had Australians serving with Americans on U.S. submarines for years, and we share the same technology and the same weapons as the U.S. Navy.”
This is such bs. If a dem had revealed classified information like this rep's would be frothing at the mouth.
They're frothing at the mouth to imprison Hunter Biden for a gun crime that's pretty much never prosecuted that they're actively trying to get taken off the books.
If a democrat had done 1/10th of the things trump and his admin did, they would still be freaking out about it. Biden hasn’t even really done anything illegal or questionable and republicans have been trying to impeach him anyway.
We may never know the full extent of the damage to our national security and that of our allies Trump caused. All because of Trump’s inability to just shut the fuck up.
Outside of the NRO, nobody even knew that that level of optical fidelity was even possible with modern technology. That shit is amongst the most classified stuff in the country. Right up there with, you know, exactly how close one of our SSNs can get to various types of Russian subs without getting detected.
People who hang around him have said - multiple people, many accounts - he’ll just say the same thing over and over, for the entire conversation, for hours.
He ain’t right. Not that it matters a whit to his cult.
Maybe he has dementia. We're just so used to him talking shit that he's getting away with it.
I wonder if that's why he's avoiding the debates?
Yeah, I don't think there's any way he could handle 7-8 other people on the stage at once anymore. That's way too much going on for his dementia addled mind to keep up. But he's also just a cowardly little shit so he'll refuse to debate Biden next year too.
From how he's spoken through his campaigns until now, I wouldn't be surprised. He has a tremendous difficulty remembering the topic of a conversation and veers off wildly, often cutting off his own train of thought.
100%
Yet he continues to walk free boggles the mind
If there really was a deep state even half as hostile to donnie as his cultist apes think there is, they would have found a way to dispose of him a while ago.
2 presidents have been gunned down, but to trump, “no one has ever been treated as unfairly as I have”.
This thought has never crossed my mind but now that I've read it, I can't imagine it isn't the truth
Well no shit. If there's one thing consistent with this orange baffoon, it's that he's constantly spiling whatever beans there are to spill. Whether it's self-incriminating blabbermouthing in one of his zillion law suits or casually discussing nuclear secrets with whoever wants to hear them, this sorry excuse for a human being doesn't know when to shut the fuck up.
He’s not capable of shutting the fuck up. His personality disorders won’t allow him to shut the fuck up. He has zero impulse control. It’s no wonder North Korea, Russia and every other hostile foreign government welcome him with open arms.
Where all my presidential assassins at these days?
That reminds me of a tweet I saw about about the 2016 release of John Hinckley Jr. from the psych hospital. It went something like this:
“JH Jr to be released from custody”
“Well I hope he’s ready to go back, because we need him again.”
That joke on lemmy prob not worth a SS visit
Oh I’d never dream of what you’re implying. It was just a simple question
Playing for team trump, riding in lil rascals with their ar's in each bloated sausage fingered hands.
He needs to start playing nice with China for that to happen lol
Worst. Present. Ever.
Neck and neck with Buchanan
lol at the “former Australian ambassador to the US” angling for that trump admin 2 job, good job lapping it up salon
Murdoch political media machine started in Australia, but found its home in America.
Because of mandatory voting laws, Australia has voted out the right wing Murdoch endorsed party in every Australian state and federal government (except one, and that state government looks set to be thrown out soon too).
This “former Australian ambassador” is pretending his party is still relevant, maybe it is in America.
Holy fucking fuck.
This guy needs to be in jail. He’s deliberately leaked sources and methods, national nuclear information, and intelligence on foreign forces. Never in the history of the country has there been such a person in charge of national security. He is such a total waste that he thinks the president of the fucking United States needs to show off in front of foreign government officials by leaking national security secrets.
What an absolute piece of shallow-ego shit.
And he did it for clout, to impress somebody. He couldn’t even be a normal traitor and do it for money or idealogical reasons.
it’s somehow even more stupid imo… like… he blabbed about the fact that he had this information and the other guy would have been like “yeah… we know you know… you’re the fucking president”
And if he does that for clout, what would he tell if say, someone knew some insider shit he’s been up to?
Someone that has access to top-notch intel gathering.
Someone…. Russian.
Hands down, there’s no doubt Putin knows everything about our military. Everything.
And how many enlisted men will continue to support him and vote for him? How many vets will give up their families instead of giving up their cult-like reverence for him?
Just an astounding level of ignorance in this country.
Actually, at this point it's more than ignorance, it's straight up malice. We have to understand that the proles on the right live in an echo chamber and will never see this story, and that's by design. Between the Fox News deliberately and knowingly misleading the country about it, and more important, the entire Republican Party (with your occasional Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, etc.) it hard for the rank and file to have any real clue what's going on. Toss in years of ensuring that their base is not educated through their deliberate dismantling of public education and religious indoctrination. It's extremely important to note that you don't get to Trump without the entire party of complicit cowards who are either ignoring the damage he's doing, or are actively encouraging it because they're traitorous fucks, and that it hasn't happened overnight. This has been a very long game, and it's not an accident.
There have been folks lock away forever or banned to Russia for doing less than Trump.
When Trump took office, he was unable to answer a question of what the US nuclear triad consists of. Basically, its land, sea, and air capabilities for strategic attack with nuclear weapons. He literally did not know that.
Based on everything we’ve heard about how the man operates, he probably received a standard presidential briefing on readiness. However, it is also my understanding that Jared Kushner, despite being denied a security clearance multiple times for failing background checks and his ties to foreign government officials, asked for and received briefings on classified information he had no reason for knowing. The problem is that “need to know” goes out the window when it’s the president’s son in law.
I suspect everyone involved with the administration knew about Trump and his family, but were also limited to what they could legally do. Maybe they made sure he didn’t know anything you couldn’t get from Jane’s or Aviation Week, but he also could have gotten highly classified briefings on, eg, our ability to crack in Syria or Iran using sea-based systems.
Here’s where I’m coming from:
I’m pretty far from being a hawk at this point in my lifetime, but even I think that Trump should be jailed and have his communications monitored for the rest of his life, and the same needs to be on the table for other members of his closest circles, including family members. The Constitution tried to take things like selfishness into account in creating the balances of power that they used, but they had no idea that someone could be elected President and have the full support of party members in both chambers of Congress as well as the politicized judiciary even if they were actively engaged in selling national security intelligence to hostile countries. Between their conception of the role of noblesse oblige on the part of people rich enough to get elected, and the idea that people would defend their role as congressional representatives over their personal/party based goals, they were wrong.
