Ok, pardon and keep Mr. Whiskeyleaks on your team. We'll just circle back to a new fuck up that's guaranteed to come as long as everyone in that chat group continues to hold their position.

Lmao. I actually laughed at this and my husband too, when I told him. Jesus christ, haha.

It's funny how so many of these nicknames are so obvious, but I never would have come up with them myself.

LMAO someone please make that website. Publish all the totally not classified classified stuff that this incompetent administration is going to leak. This definitely won't be the last time it happens.

59 days of Hegseth workng for this admin ÷ 11 days per Scaramucci ≈ 5.36 Scaramuccis

And how many heads of lettuce is that?

59 / 49 = 1.2 Hegseconds / Truss.

Alternatively, the Truss / Scaramucci conversion would be 49 / 11 = 4.45

For those out of the loop as I was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_measurement#Scaramucci

A Scaramucci (or Mooch) is 11 (sometimes 10) days and is named after the length of White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci's tenure under President Trump.

”It didn’t happen. I haven’t heard of it. It wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t their fault. In any case, here’s my pardon.”

"Why is everyone in MAGA going after Waltz when it was @PeteHegseth@SecDef that sent all the classified stuff?" posted former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a longtime conservative critic of the president.

Why not both? Or all for that matter. They were ALL violating the Federal Records Act, a crime.

Infinite get out of jail free card. Do felony, get a fall guy, pardon fall guy, rinse and repeat.

Robert’s basically said every president from now on can do this.

They just openly don’t think there’ll ever be an opposition party to take advantage of it.

It’s only a few months in. I wonder if what is left of Trump considers bringing professionals back into the room. That’s how he got through his first term. He has children working for him that need an adult.

Trump and Elon have gone through their life just fucking everything up. Really turning everything into dog shit

They had teams of people running around behind them doing their best with the chaos they leave in their wake... But those people often took their idiotic ideas and tried to reverse or misdirect them

So these guys started seeing this protection from their own incompetence as an obstacle. So they put a lot of work into removing them and replacing them with yes men and true believers

Now, more than anything, Trump and Elon are confused. They're doing what they've always done, faster and more directly than ever - and they genuinely seem baffled that people keep getting angry at them

His job is to sit and corrupt while also spouting insane and scary shit.

To "Take the fall" don't you have to not be 100% at fault already?

They're all at fault for conducting any government business over signal.

That's where the fucking line is.

I think they're referring to him being a scapegoat for the whole team. Common practice in Washington.

Honestly, I'm surprised Trump's DOJ would even seek prosecution against Dear Leader's flunkies to necessitate a pardon.
