Holy shit. These are the idiots we have running our country and our military. You 100% couldn’t put this in a novel – you’d get criticized for it being unrealistic, impossible – a naive plot device. But here we are in the real world – our military and Executive branch chain of command is using a Signal group chat to plan a war in Yemen, then discuss the outcome like a bunch of teenage kids on Facebook – with lots of emojis (WTF?). And the worst part is they didn’t realize they had included the editor of a national magazine on their little group war-chat. Oopsie. It’s frightening and disgusting. The world’s fate is in the hands of a bunch of low IQ, drunk by lunchtime, low emotional maturity bullies.
What happened to the idea that the American people need to know when we’re going to war with a nation; to deploy America’s military? For too long the Executive Branch has misused its power to routinely attack other nations with no discussion, no transparency, no checking with Congress or the American people. I get it, you don’t want to announce where/when/how you’re going to stage an attack, but I *would* like to know who we intend to throw bombs at and hear the rationale for it. The why is important. The Executive Branch is completely out of control – has been for quite a few years, but Donny Convict and his gang of fools make the situation even worse.
