Oh....you're about to.  I mean, they'll be NEW examples.  Of people who voiced an opinion the Trump Regime doesn't like.  But you'll get your examples.  Lots of them.

Oh sure, I just meant the past tense ones Little Marco is babbling about.

But I was told one phone call could end this.

 

⚡️ US may soon abandon Russia-Ukraine ceasefire efforts, Rubio says. The U.S. will cease its attempts to negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia unless there is clear progress within the next days, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on April 18, Reuters reported. https://kyivindependent.com/us-ready-to-abandon-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-efforts-rubio-says/

Alexandra Filippenko, a political scientist and expert on U.S.-Russia relations, believes Rubio's statement is aimed at Russia, as well as at Trump.

"It seems to me that this is such a very subtle, very complicated game that Rubio is playing with Donald Trump," Filippenko told the Kyiv Independent.

"He's saying to Donald Trump that actually we have a lot of other things to do... Let's push."

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that Rubio and Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg have been urging Trump to adopt a tougher stance toward Moscow. So far, Trump has been leaning toward the position of Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff, who calls for rapprochement with Russia, the outlet wrote.

I want to believe.

I don't think this is gonna get buried. Maybe if they would be taking it serious, but their completely ludicrous non response and attacks after a fuckup that required this magnitude of stupidity is going to lose even room temperature IQ people. This is wayyyyyyyyyyy beyond the complex stupid, this is stupid to anyone who even remotely cares about having a functional government. 

This aged well.

Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was mistakenly included, the newly revealed one was created by Mr. Hegseth. It included his wife and about a dozen other people from his personal and professional inner circle in January, before his confirmation as defense secretary, and was named “Defense | Team Huddle,” the people familiar with the chat said. He used his private phone, rather than his government one, to access the Signal chat.


The continued inclusion following Mr. Hegseth’s confirmation of his wife, brother and personal lawyer, none of whom had any apparent reason to be briefed on operational details of a military operation as it was getting underway, is sure to raise further questions about his adherence to security protocols.

...

Mr. Hegseth created the separate Signal group initially as a forum for discussing routine administrative or scheduling information, two of the people familiar with the chat said. The people said Mr. Hegseth typically did not use the chat to discuss sensitive military operations and said it did not include other cabinet-level officials.


Mr. Hegseth shared information about the Yemen strikes in the “Defense | Team Huddle” chat at roughly the same time he was putting the same details in the other Signal chat group that included senior U.S. officials and The Atlantic, the people familiar with Mr. Hegseth’s chat group said.


The Yemen strikes, designed to punish Houthi fighters for attacking international cargo ships passing through the Red Sea, were among the first big military strikes of Mr. Hegseth’s tenure

Damn. This guy…

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/us/politics/hegseth-yemen-attack-second-signal-chat.html

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

Some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen — essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic.

Mr. Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, is not a Defense Department employee, but she has traveled with him overseas and drawn criticism for accompanying her husband to sensitive meetings with foreign leaders.

Mr. Hegseth’s brother Phil and Tim Parlatore, who continues to serve as his personal lawyer, both have jobs in the Pentagon, but it is not clear why either would need to know about upcoming military strikes aimed at the Houthis in Yemen.

They can’t blame this in some underling. Hegseth created the chat himself and used his person phone instead of his government secured phone. Are these people just throwing their incompetence in our faces?

They are merely stupid people in jobs that stupid people should not have. Attributing anything more than that is giving them credit they do not deserve.

The fucking secretary of defense is either purposely sending war plans to his friends and family, or accidentally/drunk texting war plans to the wrong text thread. I don’t even know which is worse

Trump’s bullshit is causing the price of oil to drop. Russia’s economy is pretty heavily dependent on oil being >$70 a barrel. The more it drops the worse for Putin.

Right. But, since it loosely relates to the first beach, it will get lumped together and, thus, completely ignored. The country doesn't have the attention span for a nuanced, multi-faceted story.

Hegseth is obviously unqualified and should never have been confirmed but I’m also terrified to see who he gets replaced with.

it's 100% intentional.  it's troll politics.  that's what Trump v.2 is.  everything they do is a troll.  and a drunk DefSec sending war plans to civilians on an unsecure text app is specifically meant to create outrage with zero consequences.

Don't see a Canada thread but I guess this counts as shit going on around the world.

Liberals are projected to have won the Canadian election.  Conservatives looked certain to win when Trudeau resigned until...gestures disgustedly at everything Trump.  Conservatives led in polling by 44-20 as late as early January.

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago. Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.) Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.
