    based on the SP500 this morning, the market doesn't seem to care about the new auto tariffs.  I don't understand anything anymore.

    He's backtracked enough times now, that much of the market simply doesn't believe him.

    I'm gonna guess Hegseth is always the alpha dickbag in any room he chooses to set foot in. You gotta get up pretty, pretty early in the morning to have any chance of out-dickbagging this guy. #BorntoDickbag

    He's a dickbag for sure.  But he's no Alpha.  Read the signal chat again, and consider how hard he is trying with this group.  He knows he's over his head.  He knows they know he's over his head. I'd call it text book impostor syndrome, but that's based on the impression that you're not worthy.

    So in this situation, what's the mechanism for classifying material?  Obviously everything Pete texted SHOULD be classified, but was it actually? 

    I ask because It actually feels like the administration is arguing semantics when they say it wasn't classified- as in, it should have been but technically wasn't.  It would certainly be on brand if they're using the incompetence of failure to classify the material as their excuse for why it wasn't illegal to share it.   

    This address my question:

    Quote

    But don’t let anyone lie to you: Information about the timing of forthcoming U.S. military operations is prima facie classified Top Secret. Information regarding high-value targets, weapons systems, military unit movements, even whether we think that we have Operational Security — OPSEC — in advance of a military operation is prima facie classified.

    Our secretary of defense texted out the no-kidding Time on Target! That would, to say the least, be useful information for anyone manning enemy air defense batteries.

    These are extremely sensitive topics that should never be discussed outside of the appropriate venue and only with those with need-to-know.

    Do not get misled by the idea that by somehow not attaching a PDF stamped “Classified Top Secret,” Hegseth didn’t do anything wrong here. Hegseth’s texts were born classified the moment he wrote them. This information by its very existence and by its definition was classified the moment Hegseth started tapping on his iPhone.

    Take it with a grain of salt though, as it was written by the liberal rag (checks notes...) The National Review.

    I wonder if there is anyone in Dotard's ear saying anything like "Please, please use this opportunity to replace some of these people with actually qualified people". Because then hahahahahahahaha sorry, almost made it through it. 

    That's what is so different this time.  In his 1st term, those people did exist.  Not that they were good people, and they didn't stick around long, but there always seemed to be someone who talked him out of the really stupid shit.  

    That doesn't exist now.

    Say what you will, but these guys are incredible at spinning bullshit.

    I know it gets said all the time, but imagine if this had happened in the Obama or Biden administrations. 

    Frankly, Even in Trump's 1st term this would have been a major deal.  Now, it will be forgotten- or upstaged- by the end of the week.

  8. Maybe, but I don't think so this time.  A big theme of this episode is that the innies are adolescents- as was highlighted by Mark's lengthy Innie to Outie video conversation.  I think the last scene was just an extension of that from both of them.  What they did is something young teenagers would do in the moment.
