Hi. Welcome to the shitshow. Tell your friends.
Because the story is being scrubbed from the media as we speak.
Can we stop treating the "national security" and "endangering our troops" takes as if they make sense? Bombing brown people isn't national security.
Whilst I agree that in this particular case there wasn't much of a threat to troops (even if the Houthis knew beforehand I highly doubt they have any capabilities to take down US jets), the main national security issue is what this means, that high ranking officials are exchanging top secret information on insecure chanels. If a foreign adversary were to hack their phones, or if like this case, someone who shouldn't have been added was added and the info was leaked, this could lead to much more sensitive and dangerous information getting to the wrong hands.
They do have the capability to take down some jets I read somewhere.
They aren’t trying the win the minds of people who already agree with them.
There are different words and different views of morality and liberty to different groups. This is speaking to the common sense of the right voters in their own language and values. Loyalty, pride in country over dictators, armed service as personal sacrifice for the greater population.
Reds and blues actually agree on almost everything they just explain it completely differently and fight while agreeing. The politicians however are like cartoons of the farthest views to cover for lobbyists running our government since like 1980.

I agree with you 100%. However, they could have been talking about anything else, hence the national security tag. In this case it just happened to be bombing brown people.

you can't. they can.
Hmm, I think there's a name for that. Something about being fashionable I believe.
How are you JUST NOW learning this? This happened in 2020 too
2020 was not like this, this is new.
Crazy how anyone is surprised by this. Republicans have always been authoritarian traitors.

Blame paddle-holding impotent Democrats unwilling to be aggressive and limp-dick Republicans scared of MAGA base. The government is full of dipshits scared of losing power
Blame [...] Democrats
That's all you people ever say.
"ohhhh we can't do anything we're out of majority right now that's why we've done nothing of substance since citizens united passed and made us directly accountable to billionaires"
This is true. They could be the opposition, together, and they choose not to be.
I wish I was baroque in mind instead of baroque in my wallet 😢
I like turtles.
cowards, the entire lot. and the MAGA base is cowards, too, mark my words
the dems are not cowards. they’re complicit.
i guess this all comes down to what cowardice is, because i would argue the cowardice is the root of the complicity. they'd rather go along with things than risk the comforts they've gained. they refuse to standup and do what is right because that would be scary. better to maintain the status quo, even as it collapses into a new, worse, status quo, than to risk losing some luxuries to ensure that their constituents, us, get the best possible outcome in this situation
