The Trump Presidency: Now auditioning for 51st State

If anyone gets in trouble for this it will be the reporter they allowed on their near-public text and emoji thread. Or Hillary Clinton.

Good point. The National Security Advisor may have added the reporter to the emoji-laden chain thinking JG meant Jerry the General. Wouldn't have happened if he'd used he/him pronouns like a MAN

Apparently the guy who did it is going to lead the inquiry into what happened. The GOP was in a mad dash to blow Trump yesterday, including Mr. Waltz, the perp.

The booker needs to do better. Tim Walz just got an angle insulting Elon and now they throw a Waltz into the mix. It made be briefly confused on Twitter when the culprit came out;

I actually made a similar joke to my boss. "They fired all the colored people so don't know who to blame"

Here Are the Texted War Plans That Hegseth Said 'Nobody Was Texting' on Signal | Common Dreams

"A reminder that various administration officials lied under oath in the Senate yesterday," said one former Democratic congressman, "which is a crime punishable by imprisonment."

this shit is beyond hilarious in a deeply worrying way. I'd expect this to eat up a couple months with investigations, not that anything important will come of it but it's another thing that will force the Trump admin to waste their time.

It's also another area where the GOP vs. Republican split will grow just a little bit, not enough for them to turn completely on Trump but the Republicans will start getting their hands forced as far as "defending" a situation that is a really bad look any way you slice it.

A lot of republicans are demanding a real investigation so I don’t know what’s going to happen, not that it matters to his base.

Or him... there'll be a sacrificial lamb (at best) and the Trump administration will just move on doing the exact same stuff in 2-6 months.

Trump targets 'anti-American ideology' at Smithsonian museums

The order says that "divisive narratives" must be purged from the US museums and research centres.

www.bbc.com

The order is titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History". It says that Vice-President JD Vance, who became a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents due to his position in government, will lead the purge.

Trump's order says that Congress should not fund Smithsonian exhibits and programmes that "divide Americans by race". It alleges that the American Women's History Museum, which is in development, plans to "recognize men as women".

This is why I won't even think about 2028, because there probably won't be a legitimate election if we even hold one.

 

[snuffbox]

I think that's a legitimate concern at this point.

Just buy American... duh

Trump says he ‘couldn’t care less’ if foreign automakers raise prices due to tariffs

In a phone interview with NBC News, President Donald Trump also said he wouldn’t fire anyone involved in the Signal group chat.

www.nbcnews.com

"When pressed if he told CEOs not to raise prices, as reported in the The Wall Street Journal, Trump added, “No, I never said that. I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars.”

Trump continued, “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty.”

Asked if he was concerned about car prices going up, Trump said, “No, I couldn’t care less, because if the prices on foreign cars go up, they’re going to buy American cars.”

After the interview, an aide followed up with NBC News to say Trump was referring specifically to foreign car prices."
