@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The tiny hands bankruptcy master will lead you right into disaster. So often this bloke was totally broke, but now it's just going much faster! #limerick #default #incompetence

When asked easy questions "these Republican leaders chose not to answer. Instead, they dissembled or shut down. They calculated that evasion was better than providing an actual answer. But those evasions carry political costs for the White House that are beginning to compound": https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/evasion-aint-persuasion?triedRedirect=true#incompetence #ethics #Republicans = #UnfitForElectiveOffice. #politics copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org

Jesse Lee: "Republican Party politicians are going to vote to give Trump another $95 billion to keep the #IranWar going, which is accomplishing nothing but jacking up gas prices, and then will fly home for a month??? Are they insane?" #incompetence #OperationEpicFailure #quagmire #mismanagement #politics copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org

It’s very simply, Trump does not have what it takes… he does not represent the American spirit. His vile and evil statements, his grifting, his cowardly vengeful attitude, a backstabbing traitor abusing the power of the presidency. This will go doing in history as the darkest hour of the Republic. The question is, what comes next… #trump #uspolitics #incompetence #whitehouse #trumpadministration

Who tf scheduled these #WorldCup games?! First game at 5PM Eastern, ON A WEEKEND when I'm home doing nothing for most of the day. These start times should be reserved for during the week when I'm working! #FFS #incompetence #WorldCup #worldcup2026 #FediFC #FIFAWorldCup

Lots of Drama in Republican World. Let's see how the incompetent party is turning everything into a soap opera - and why we need to elect Democrats. JD Vance criticizes Israel's critique of Donald Trump, drawing criticism from the GOP. https://newrepublic.com/post/212097/republicans-criticize-jd-vance-warning-israel Somehow Trump is in a fight over photos with Italy's right-wing PM. There's nothing the GOP can't screw up. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgqj77909jpo #trump #gop #incompetence #uspol

I may be out of line, but who’s actually running the country? There’s way too much stupidity and incompetence coming out of the White House to be coming from Trump alone. #MAGA #republicans #trump #incompetence #iran #war #Israel #middleeast #economy #epstein #news #politics #worldnews

@signalapp@mastodon.world Signal IMO has bad security because when someone decides they are not interested in an overpriced, underperforming service of "phone number" and stops using their SIM, they cannot deregister the number from Signal and the new owner of the number either can hijack their Signal account, or people may be blocked from using newly purchased SIMs with Signal. Also, authoritarian regimes IMO can temporarily transfer a number into a provider's internal SIM in order to hijack a Signal account and impersonate a dissident against another dissident, facilitating abduction, torture and murder. I feel c o n t e m p t towards Signal when it is designed this way. #badsecurity #incompetence #signal #phonenumberasidentity #security #SIM #contempt #securityhole #securityflaw #attack #hijacking #torture #murder #abduction #authoritarianism #regime #authoritarian

"None. Zero. He got this job. Why? Because he's a loyalist to Donald Trump, and Donald Trump thought he looked good in front of cameras." #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /2

"President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Pete Hegseth are stuck in the logic of escalation, according to which the feeling of defeat today can be reversed by doing the first thing that comes to mind tomorrow." ~ Timothy Snyder #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /3

"Trump is surrounded by people who are making money from the war; each day of war strengthens a warmongering lobby with personal access to the president. As the war lengthens, the chance that it will be exploited for a coup attempt increases." #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity #EconomicElites #oil #gas #profiteering /4

"Pentagon staffers have reportedly begun referring to their big boss, Pete Hegseth, as Dumb McNamara, a reference to the Secretary of Defense under Lyndon Johnson who oversaw the disastrous U.S. war effort in Vietnam. Yes, that’s pretty bad, but it’s even worse." ~ Lucian K. Truscott #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /5

"He’s closer to Dumb Joe McCarthy, the right-wing Republican Senator who made his career chasing commies out of government – and everywhere else – during the 1950’s 'red scare.'” #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /6

"As for the removal now of Gen. George, a West Point graduate who served in combat roles dating back to the first Gulf War in 1991 and is the highest-ranking Army officer, it’s yet one more sign that the confederacy of dunces that surrounds Trump cares more about showcasing its bigotry than acting competently." ~ Steven Beschloss #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /7

"As one U.S. official said to Axios, 'Here is a four-star general who is actively working to get equipment and people into theater—to protect U.S. forces—and you fire him? In the middle of a war?'” #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /8

"His favourite term is 'lethality'; he loves telling the armed forces how 'lethal' they are. 'We are not defenders any more,' he announced gleefully. 'We are warriors: trained to kill the enemy and break their will.' (It might seem excessive to break their will after killing them, but why settle for half measures?)" ~ Steven Poole #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity #lethality #violence #death /9

"He seemed to experience a sadistic pleasure in announcing the sinking of an Iranian warship by a US torpedo, enjoying the idea of the doomed crew’s 'quiet death'. This sort of unabashed viciousness is part of the appeal of the Maga administration for its fans, and might seem like a refreshing return to plain speaking." #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity #lethality #violence #death /10
