“Someone told me Obama did it, and I don’t care to verify the information because it fits my worldview.”

We’re about to have a third world economy. Good luck with that.

Exactly American citizens. Sadly, too many of us are accustomed to “someone else” doing the hard work.

Who are these “People?”

Hey, be fair! We’re not on fire at the moment.

And it’s a going out of business fire sale.

I’ll admit, I didn’t believe he said it. I still don’t believe he means it, though.

How about you share the video?

Oh, normalization of a third term. Cool.

Cool, cool, cool.

Exactly. (Fixed my comment)

“Gotta do it to them to stop them from doing it before they can do it to us!”

I hope you’re right

I think so…

The attack wasn’t the “false flag” (I think I misused that term), that was going to happen anyway. I think adding a journalist to their little group chat about it was.

They knew it would come out, and now they have the pretext to start going more aggresively after journalists spreading “deceitful” information.

I’m not saying I’m right, it just stinks.

I’m not saying it was bad info. And adding a journalist to a “private” signal chat that was probably going to happen either way isn’t exactly elaborate.

I’m not usually an alarmist, but this one has the hair on the back of my neck up…

This feels like a false flag to target journalists spreading “misinformation.”

I was reading the Atlantic article thinking 'What a bunch of dumb fucks." Until I read this part:

The Hegseth message goes on to state, “Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive

Hard stop right there. “This is intentional.”

Then Tulsi comes out talking about “aggressively pursuing” journalists., and now P Heggs is just gonna play dumb?

Smells pretty bad, imo.

(False flag may not be the right term here, but I hope my point is still clear enough)

When did they invent the bomb?

So if he said “I’ll end the war in 24 hours” sarcastically… Then he was mocking himself?

So many Ds of chess 🧐

…and that’s exactly what a bot would SAY!

I like to pull back a little and see my life from a 3rd person every now and then, while trying to keep a logical and optimistic mindset.

It’s gotten me through a lot in the last 5+ years.
