"The recklessness was criminal; any government employee of lower rank who committed the same offense would be behind bars on Monday evening—awaiting trial without the benefit of bail."

"These guys organized a meeting to discuss a military strike and nobody thought to ask, 'Gee, fellas, isn’t it kind of weird that we invited the editor of The Atlantic to this top-secret strategy conference?'”

Esquire · The Secretary of Defense TEXTED Top-Secret War Plans to the Editor of 'The Atlantic'?!?By Charles P. Pierce

"All the speculation that goofs like Hegseth and Gabbard and Ratcliff and the rest of them were amateurs and jokes has brought us to a place where the people supposedly in charge of our national security were celebrating the attacks on the Houthis by posting 'fist' and 'flexed bicep' and 'American flag' and 'hands praying' emojis along with reassurances to each other that they had said 'a prayer for victory.'”

~ Lucian Truscott

"Steve Witkoff was on there too, texting the most emojis of all, five in a row (two hands-praying, a flexed bicep, and two American flags)! And guess where Steve Witkoff happened to be on Thursday, March 13? Why, in RUSSIA, getting choked up while Putin told him he’d prayed in church for Trump after he got shot in the ear."

Wonkette · Worst. Security. Breach. Ever. 🤯By Marcie Jones

Everywhere this morning, MAGA meatheads are manning the front lines. Testosterone-poisoned blockheads, muscles stuffed into ill-fitting suits, clamor for headspace in the online green rooms of right-wing media, waiting for a minute or two to perform the spectacular logistic acrobatics that will please the circus master."

The joke about this, however is that guys like Elon Musk and the guys of Project 2025 are the ones who assert, it’s their rule, their control that’s superior to democracy and in subverting and in installing people under their rule, they are only substantiating that they are the incompetent people.

They want to obliterate the nation and replace it with their wacky ideas. There won’t be a United States even in name.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @wdlindsy
We have to find a better way to talk about Musk. "Not elected" is not the point. How is he different from the many people to whom Trump delegates authority? Sometimes the answer is that Musk is doing things Trump would not be allowed to do, so Trump can't give him that authority. Trump loudly delegates and supports things he can't do, and people are not calling out that he's overstepped until it gets to court.
