Today's Tiedrich rant: Signalgate is a five-alarm clusterfuck that just keeps getting worse

I’m no expert, but it’s looking more and more like hiring a bunch of Fox News pinheads and putting them in charge of agencies for which they have absolutely no skills or experience is the worst fucking way in the world to run a government.

because here’s what happens when you do that: a bunch of them start casually texting each other about how they’re going to bomb the shit out of Yemen, like they were planning a neighborhood cookout. Pete’s in charge of bringing the kegs.

it’s thanks to their own clownish incompetence that we even know about this shit, because Donny’s national security advisor, Mike Waltz, went a little funny in the head and added The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the text chain. again, I’m no expert, but I’m thinking that divulging classified war plans to a journalist is pretty much the opposite of national security — the very thing that Mike Waltz was hired to protect.

you’d figure that it would take a hot New York second for Donny to send Waltz packing, after a five-alarm fuck-up like that — but no, Donny susancollinsed it straight under the rug, telling us that Waltz gets to keep his job, because he’s learned his lesson.



for fuck’s sake, even Susan Collins didn’t try to susancollins it.
