Or we could hire professionals with experience that don’t have to “learn lessons” with national security intel.
Trump hired amateurs and fired staff that had experience. This is a federal government run like a school project.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

School projects are designed to result in the participants learning something in the end.
This clown is literally incapable of learning.
This guy is a professional. He's been in the national security game for decades.
With that in mind, I kind of suspect that he added the journalist intentionally to draw attention to the insane comments against our closest allies.
I'm pretty sure that all happened after he was added to the chat
The silver lining to this descent into fascism is how pathetic it is, make sure to keep laughing, it is an acid that eats away at a forced serious tone of fascism.
Yeah, I was afraid that this time Trump would've hired people that knew what they were doing, but luckily he didn't. They're still dangerous ideologies and the roadmap they have in project 2025 is still scary as fuck tho.
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.
You cannot expect a man who took classified documents and stored them in a golf resort bathroom to take any aspect of national security seriously.
No, he is a spy-genius: who would think to search for secret data in a golf resort bathroom? Deep strategic planning! Round belly. Agent Trump. Donald Trump. Codename 885.
Susan Collins is satisfied
Permissiveness instead of consequences. A family value I'm sure the Donvict learned from his father and then reinforced by leaders who should know better, like US Senators. This is how you get a spoiled king in charge of your country.
Just like that idiot Susan Collins said Trump had learned his lesson.
Nevermind including a reporter in the group chat. Can we talk about why these people are using a commercial service to hold classified discussions in the first place? Like, isn't bombing another country SCIF-type stuff? Isn't that stuff subject to the Federal Records Act?
It’s so they don’t have to follow official records keeping policies.
More likely it's so they can use their personal phone to show the conversation to their Russian bosses without needing to bypass security measures.
Buttery males!
Lol what does this mean? I keep seeing it.
Republicans were constantly screaming "But her emails!" when Hillary Clinton used email
If he were capable of any learning or even reflection, he wouldn’t have been part of the Trump admin
Where’s the “lock him up” from the party of law and order? Oh yah that’s right. . .
Ah yes, the “Susan Collins” approach
Maybe people burning Tesla's are all learning lessons, too.
What lesson did the military and intelligence communities learn?
SEND COPS
He's so good at teaching people a lesson... Like to take your voting rights serious...
