Pete Hegseth whisked out of town. JD Vance whisked out of town. Mike Waltz whisked out of town. Need I say more. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/conspiracy-against-us?r=3m1bs

Turns out he had his wife attend a top secret meeting -- no clearance. And he hired his brother -- contrary to nepotism regs... and best -- he jeopardized Isreali intelligence.

Carl Signalgate was planned and orchestrated.

1. It succeeded in providing a bright shiny object for the media and liberal crows to chase.

2. Nothing will happen, especially because of the uproar, to the participants.

3; The whole affair was a way of advertising to the world and especially allies, that Trump was not just "like you never seen it before" bluster, he wants the world to take him seriously, which it hasn't because of his boy that cried wolf proclamations of "like you never seen it before"

4. The message was clearly to Iran, that Trump means what he says.

5. The clue is that they invited Jeff Goldberg of the Atlantic, the publication that Trump considers most hostile, to the chat, and no way was that a mistake. If anyone thinks that was a mistake, then we are really doomed.

We were punked and the right wing is expert at punking libs, give them a thread of hope, and they will hang on like a window washer hanging on to a rope. First it was Mueller, then the impeachment, thenJ ack Smith. If anyone recalls my perpetual cynicism and skepticism I've never believed any of it would go anywhere.

My north star is "Things are not as they appear to be"

Any maga plan is to have no plan, just stochastically walk into an arena, anywhere, and find a little person and whale on them until they bleed. They pick their fights when it is obvious there is no fighter on the other side that can punch back in real time.

And what is the actual goal of this clusterfuck? To lie, grift and steal to increase both the addictive need to hoard and the body count of that horading. Such as Greenland, or the canal. Or our best national friend Canada, whose folks are so well-balanced they would volunteer to be punched, just once, as a gracious favor to a retarded aggressor. Denmark, one of the most balanced countries anywhere, about the size of an Arizona county, has to stand tall and push back, as has Canada, in a very big way now.

To elect TFG is to punk ourselves. No one who has ten brain cells operating efficiently would choose this rough beast to run a laundry. So no one punked us, some of us did it to all the rest of us. 'murka is reaping what it has sown for 200 years. The dupes just picked the worst for last, and here we are. The worst of the worst leading a crumbling empire down the rabbit hole. The Constitution, written poorly enough to allow for corruption, also provides avenues for an overhaul, done by some of the people, for all the people, even ones they do not agree with but who are getting screwed anyway.

Trump, Adolph, Erdogan, Orban have proved one thing, that a minority can control a country and peoples. All you need to do is find the one thing, the one cause that can unite the minority.

In Turkey it was religion, Islam, in Hungary it was immigrants (a problem that is causing the rise of the right all over Europe), In Germany it was economics and national pride, in America it is masculine supremacy, also shaded by racism, and behind it religion, they have all come together as MAGAts.

Trump's war on DEI is all the evidence that we need, but sadly, regrettably, even the so called best, aren't paying attention, fools are still looking at the price of eggs.

All of it outrageous and just one more example of Trump's treason, but truthfully just gossip.

Daily it is one piece of gossip after another, one more bright shiny object to chase, for a minute or two, until the next one is thrown in front of us.

Trump, Hegseth, the administration has committed every outrage and violation of the Constitution imaginable, and what has been the consequence?

The media gets us all excited because of a lower court ruling, but lower courts aren't the final say, are they?

SCOTUS rules in favor of contract law, and the Democrats think that SCOTUS has ruled against Trump.

Lots of live witnesses....

A witness is only useful, if called to the witness stand, in an honest and fair trial.

We are all witness to the destruction of the democratic Republic of the United States of America., impotent witnesses so far.

The Secretary of Whiskeyleaks is a raging alcoholic. Waltz is a raging narcissist. This bullshit is pathological. It's only going to get worse. Waltz pissed off Miss Suzy. She's going to cut him the fuck loose as soon as she can. And Baghdad Barbie will spin it like a broken washing machine to the press. Next...
