The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

    Didn’t they try to charge Hilary Clinton for using an insecure private server?

      This would matter if Republicans and their voters gave a shit about being hypocrites. That is not a new thing. Newt Gingrich went after Clinton for having an affair while he himself was having one for instance.

        Gingrich was worse. His wife at the time had cancer and he served her divorce papers while in the hospital and then left her and their child pennyless.

          It feels weird to say who was worse. Gingrich was worse to his wife for certain. Absolute monster of a husband and father. Clinton engaged in workplace sexual harassment as the president of the united states, and for some reason it took like 20 years for people to realize that lewinsky was his primary victim after spending years and years shaming her more than him.

            Tbh I’d rather be sexually harassed in the workplace than get to the end of my life and realize that the person I had children with and wanted to grow old with didn’t give a flying fuck about me as a human being.

            Not that either is good, but most of us understand that our bosses view as as resources. And if you’re raised female, you’re definitely aware of that dynamic.

      Didn’t they tank her presidential bid on this? How she was unprofessional and unfit for office for this? And his Perfect Ukraine Call, his hacked emails, his every other lapse of OPSEC or security clearance issues… weren’t disqualifying? Or was it just what she had in her pants, same with Kamala.

        Yeah I don’t think it’s a fair comparison. A private email server vs dming randos by accident.
