The White House posted a photo of Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of Personnel Dan Scavino, and other administration officials on its X account on Saturday evening. The photo shows a makeshift room surrounded by black curtains and multiple maps of the region.

Jesus H Fucking Christ. This is a security violation, severe damage to national security, complete incompetence and insult to all of us who take national security seriously of epic proportions.

Also leaving couch fucker in vice president actually in charge in the situation room is such a dereliction of duty.

    A security violation? From the guy who said “You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it.” during an interview? From the administration that accidentally texted it’s plans to bomb Yemen to a journalist 2 hours before the attack? You mean the guy that tweeted photos from a satellite so classified, the last guy that leaked photos from it was sent to jail for espionage? The guy that stole hundreds of classified documents and destroyed an unknown number more? Nah…

      All the first parts are actually legit, the entire intelligence apparatus is designed to gather information for POTUS. They can declassify stuff solo. Like everything else its assumed the elected official will do their job and not just blab for fun.

        POTUS cannot declassify stuff solo. They can declare they want to declassify a document but then a team reviews the document and blacks out content that can’t be declassified such as intelligence agents and assets in the field. POTUS cannot declare a doc declassified and then just hand out copies.

    This is your take from the whole situation? Security violation? Not unprovoked attack, the numbers of dead people including children? Would it have been better if he was in a congress appointed bunker.

    Fuck yankistan. You show how you’re pathetically shallow and lack empathy are every passing day.

    I only wish we could have gotten a TV with a live Xitter search feed for “Iraq” in the background again. Yes, again. (Apologies for YouTube link.)

    Looking at this photo as well as a few others, I have identified like 14 opsec failures.

    This administration is a fucking joke.

      These were probably the same Iran invasion plans he had been letting like Kid Rock look at and were likely seen by numerous spies.

        If you’re only bombing targets then most of that is a given, the high priority targets are well known.

    What a bullshit country we’ve become.

    We’ve arranged ourselves to be in compliance with the content of one, doddering racist’s fever dream of America.

    The video of him walking around shaking hands and getting back pats from the abundantly available sycophants and psychopaths at Mar-A-Lago while he launches an illegal war to further destabilize an entire region and kill 100+ children at a hospital is viscerally disgusting.
