More fun and frolics lined up for today when Russian shill (and Director of National Intelligence) Tulsi Gabbard and her predecessor John Ratcliffe (who had to withdraw from nomination the first time on account of him lying about his qualifications) , now C.I.A. Director , go before Congress to provide their annual threat assessment.

In hiring his old real estate chum from New York , Steve Witkoff , to head up the diplomatic mission to take on Putin and bring the war in Ukraine to an end , Trump actually managed to pick the one person on earth who was more ignorant and gullible when dealing with the Russians than himself.

So let’s sit back and enjoy the spectacle and admire the dexterity with which two of Trump’s lackeys attempt to bend reality even further .

The ā€˜holding then accountable’ line is far too weak. The line which needs to repeated every day around every talking point is that the Republican party is unfit to govern. That it is riddled with treasonous actors and the entire party needs to be torn down. It is not about any particular actor anymore. It is the party and they are now so entirely riddled with cancer that the only solution is that they be excised from the American body politic if it is to survive.

ā€œEpic F***upā€

Just what is it with those lunatics,Trump and his handpicked collection of half wits?
Seems they want to know whether the CSIRO,science organisation here in OZ,are taking appropiate measures in the gender question which seems to be occupying a bunch of tiny minds.
I think the general reaction here is ā€œfuck off,it has nothing to do with youā€.
Obviously the orange rodent already thinks he is the emperor of the world,with Putin pulling his strings,or something!

The link I posted actually is a gift link apparently. But yeah this works too.

It’s just absolutely insane.

So I am curious, had he revealed these plans, who would be the one in most legal trouble?

I struggle to see how he could be held responsible when he was added to the group without being vetted and having the right security clearance. But knowing how thie current administration refuse to take any form of responsibility for their own actions I can see him being thrown under the bus

I dont disagree. We know it, the rest of the world knows it, but actually how many in the US, where it really matters, would listen?

And even then, what more could you do?

You think he can hold himself together for 48 hours?

You’re a better person than me, I give him until he next opens his mouth

Umm, He does realise that that would mean making Charles their Head of State and be theoretically able to kick him out of office?
