BREAKING NEWS! 

Months after leaving office, Trump discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of Mar-a-Lago — an Australian billionaire who then shared the information with scores of others. 


Trump Said to Have Revealed Nuclear Submarine Secrets to Australian Businessman

If true, and really, is there a reason to not believe it true? Given tRump's history.

But if betting were my game i'd bet the tRump cultist will have no problem with this. Or will believe it a lie if their messiah says it is so. Even if verifiable evidence exits that he actually did divulge such information.

Cultists, like religious fanatics/zealots believe whatever their cult leader or messiah tells them. True or not.l

tRUMP the seditionist is now a spy and traitor. This moron needs to be shot at dawn.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Did he give the guy sound recordings of our ballistic missile subs? Cuz that's about the ONLY thing that's classified "Top Secret" about our subs that I know of.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

The Russians can get the rest of our "secrets" by reading a few Tom Clancy novels.

Dave Miller said...

The levels some "conservatives" will go to make this story not a thing, is incredible.

Remember, this is the crowd that thought Sandy Berger needed to be shot after he walked out of the admin with a file of papers stuffed in his shirt. This is the crowd that wants spies who take and share document strung up from yard arms or shot for treason.

But when an ex pres does it, there's nothing to see here.

What a bunch of relativists, unable to criticize one of their own for the very behavior they would have crucified Dems for if they had done it.

This story doesn't even exist on Fox.com so most will never hear about it.

Maybe we should ask the folks on those boomers what they think of this. I have a friend who was on nukes during Vietnam. To this day he says he is not permitted to talk about the capabilities of those subs he was on 60 years ago!

For fear of endangering current submariners.

And yet Trump can, and the GOP and -FJ folks of the world, excuse it.

Why is that?

skudrunner said...

Like leslie said if true it is a big deal and he should be tried as a spy along with everything else. One statement in this is potentially sensitive and you just assume it is true. In today's misinformation how do we know what is true it just seems like everything trump is accused of is true and everything joey b is accused of is false.

Les Carpenter said...

It seems that with MAGA bots whatever their messiah does or says is just fine and dandy. No questions asked, no accountability served up.

It's a gd shame and our nation is far worse off for it. But it may be what tRump, MAGA bots, and Putin want. So here we are.

Dave Dubya said...

Skud wonders, "In today's misinformation how do we know what is true it just seems like everything trump is accused of is true and everything joey b is accused of is false."

Skud is falling for the Steve Bannon tactic, "The Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”

Let's ask Skud to examine the record. How much verifiable evidence supports the accusations of Trump v Biden?

Grey One talks sass said...

Whenever someone points to the divide in the USA I present this statement (and others like it) as evidence as to why: "...In today's misinformation how do we know what is true it just seems like everything trump is accused of is true and everything joey b is accused of is false."

The reason we are falling apart is because many of our fellow citizens are willing to overlook inconvenient evidence which contradicts their world view.

I could hammer facts from sun up to sun down and still someone who is convinced facts aren't facts won't change. In fact there is clinical evidence that the more someone who is set in their inner world view is deluged with facts that challenge their view the more they tell the world NOPE! Not today! I know what I know and you can't change me (complete with stuck out tongue and exit flounce).

We humans are very predictable as demonstrated by my quote above from skudrunner. Yes, be hesitant to accept a breaking story until all the evidence is in, but skuddy buddy - you just had to both sider it.

President Biden didn't endanger our military personnel over dinner at his club. Yeah, the former guy might have told only one person but that person told over 30 people... including foreign government officials. I mean they are Australians (whom I find to be an amazing nation considering everything that wants to kill you there) so there is that but still. Had a person of the democratic persuasion done such a thing the skud's of the world would be celebrating in the streets.

Evidence is evidence and facts are facts. And skud will continue to be skud no matter how many facts are thrown under their feet.

Added note: Loose lips sink ships. The information released may have been suspected by our enemies foreign and domestic but now they have confirmation. Now our service personnel have to step a bit more lively to keep themselves safe thanks to someone who should have known better. Oaths used to mean something. I guess in the MAGA regime they are only for suckers.

Joe Conservative said...

We excuse it because of the CONSTITUTION. And we also understand that words like "potentially sensitive" is NOT the same as "CLASSIFIED".

Les Carpenter said...

Evidence = true

No Evidence = conjectuee

MAGA = Whatever the messiah says it is.

Fairly easy to follow. Yes skud?

Shaw Kenawe said...

I’m away this weekend, taking care of the goat farm while the owners are at a family wedding, so I wasn’t able to answer Skud’s comment when it was first published:


Blogger skudrunner said...
And not to be outdone joey b used the chaos to buy a couple hundred thousand votes by giving rich kids an early christmas present. Now he wants to install a border wall which he said would never happen. Guess the heat about the illegals crossing by the hundreds of thousands finally hit home, did they ship a few busloads to deleware?

Here’s why that money for the wall is being spent to build that wall:

President Biden: "I'll answer one question on the border wall: The border wall - the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money. They didn't, they wouldn't. And in the meantime, there's nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can't stop that," Biden told reporters in the Oval Office.

Asked whether he believes the border wall works,

Biden answered, "No."


-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Funny huh. Trump built the original wall by "reappropriating funds from other accounts". Biden's building the wall, because he says he can't do what Trump did.

It is a puzzlement.

Dave Miller said...

Come on JC... use that brain I know is on there. Don't be the stupid double standard guy we see from most MAGA folks.

You know darn well that if Biden had done what Trump is alleged to have done, and there are multiple witnesses, you of the Hillary Clinton is unAmerican crowd would be calling for his head.

Why the sudden fealty to a free speech argument?

You're better than that.

I hope.

Yet this is where we are in America. A great many of our citizens have jettisoned their values of right and wrong in service to stupid stuff so they can believe their guy or gal is just peachy.

Once again, I gotta ask why is that?

Joe Conservative said...

I worked in a government program office for over 30 years, Dave. At the end of each FY (Sept), the government takes all unspent funds from projects and re-approriates large portions of it to fund programs that overspent during the year, or priority programs they wanted to spend more on.

It happens every year. It's perfectly legal. The NASA JWST is a prime example. It was overbudget and behind schedule for nearly a decade, and every year it received "contributions" from other NASA projects and programs to keep it going.

Joe could have simply swept the wall money into an account, and spent it in the agency funded however he wanted to. Just like Trump did.

Joe Conservative said...

:P

Dave Dubya said...

Dave,

We know -FJ CAN'T HELP but hide behind double standards and hypocritical stances.

"Biden's building the wall, because he says he can't do what Trump did."

If only -FJ could consider the legal implications of what he said.

Biden doesn't have a cult that will embrace EVERY LIE as gospel truth. Biden has a sense of basic human decency. And Biden isn't an enemy of democracy who LIED about a "stolen election" and sent a violent angry mob to terrorize Congress and beat cops to overturn the election.

Biden would never try to overturn the will of 81 million American voters. Only a neo-Nazi fascist would do that sort of thing.

Hitler's Putsch was in 1923, and Trump's was on 1/6/21.

In "Mein Kampf" Chapter 11 titled, "Nations and Race," Hitler wrote the following:

"All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning."

And "Adolf" Trump echoes the Fuhrer's racist white nationalism all the way with:

“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.”

And now we have American neo-Nazi Jews like Stephan Miller and -FJ.

How long before they realize they are stoking hate that WILL be directed at THEM?

Michael Benz, a Trump State Dept official who’s been promoted by Elon Musk, is secretly a white nationalist influencer who goes by “Frame Game.”

Here he is talking about “the Jewish influence” on “white genocide”

That's YOUR GUY, -FJ.

skudrunner said...

Ms. Shaw, This is another great example of how careless the government with our money. I have dealt with a number of government institutions over the years and he is correct use it or lose it is the mantra. Just because he can't re-appropriate the funds doesn't mean he has to spend it. Look at all the billions appropriated for covid that has not been spent.

"President Biden didn't endanger our military personnel over dinner at his club" No he didn't he just ignored his advisors which resulted in the murder of 13 American Soldiers and hundreds of civilians as well as arming an enemy with billions of dollars in weapons. It seems likle the billions he just gave to iran has been put to use bombing Israel.

Dave Miller said...

-FJ said... "Funny huh. Trump built the original wall by "reappropriating funds from other accounts". Biden's building the wall, because he says he can't do what Trump did."

100% not true.

First, Trump did not build the wall. Some, yes, but complete? Nope.

Second, Biden is building a portion of the wall, about 20 miles, using previously appropriated money from Congress that by law MUST be used.

Nothing nefarious, or complex.

Dave Miller said...

Guys... why are we even talking about the wall at a post that is about a former president of the US spilling US nuclear secrets, potentially putting our soldiers in harm's way?

My gosh, I would think at a base minimum, beyond all the clap trap, that we could agree that any flag rank officer or administration person, including elect4ed officials, that would spill secrets to foreign businessmen was not acting in the best interests of the US.

I get it. Conservatives love Trump. Fine. But what he did, if true, and it has been verified by multiple sources and not denied by the former president, is horrible.

The wall is the convenient straw man to change the subject, because there is no defense for Trump, -FJ's declarations that he knows all about secrecy and US subs notwithstanding.

Because the -FJs of the world cannot ever admit one fault, one error, one bad act to Trump. Because their identity and world view is too tied to him.

Anyone who cannot see this as outrageous and wrong seems beyond redemption.

Les Carpenter said...

@Grey one talks sass...

Excellent observations. Isn't it also true that for most sentient beings reality is the result of the conceptual contructs and thought trains moving in their mind? And since the ego is always actively working to reify the sense of self and by extention ones own self interests doesn't is therefore follow that the MAGA's are merely projecting that which their minds have determined to be true. Even in the light and evidence it us false.?)

Les Carpenter said...

A sure way to be viewed with suspicion and wariness, even hate by the MAGA's is to remain open, awake, aware, inquisitive, questioning, analytical, to be educated, accepting, compassionate, understanding, and to realize that it indeed "Takes a Village to Raise a Child" and that "Critical Race Theory" is a path forward and leads to understanding and acceptance. But of course a White Nationalist wouldn't see it that way. It doesn't serve their self interest and prejudices.

Les Carpenter said...

It appears skud may be right about the Iranian backed Hamas terrorist attact on Israel?

But, was it a response to Israeli and Netanyahu's hard line uncompromising positions.

Reified beliefs on both sides of the political aisle in America will insure further division.

Joe Conservative said...

That's it Les, justify the slaughter of hundreds of innocent women and children. "I HAD to do it, Netanyahoo was being a hard*ss".

Joe Conservative said...

Got any more victims to blame, Les?

Les Carpenter said...

Nope. But i note the difference in your position berween Ukrainians suffering & suffering of those you value more. Why is that?

Les Carpenter said...

Nope. But i note the difference in your position berween Ukrainians suffering & suffering of those you value more. Why is that?

Les Carpenter said...

I did not justfy fj. But i do not discount the feelings of Muslims relative to the Middle East scenaio and the west's orchestrating the geographic.

Les Carpenter said...

How many more Ukrainian women and children or Muslim women and children can die before enough is enough for you?

Joe Conservative said...

Hey, I've been against the both wars since day 1, but the USA won't allow peace talks. Why is that, Les?

Les Carpenter said...

After a detailed and HONEST response to the secific questions iasked YOU i might respond to yours.

Joe Conservative said...

They can ALL die, for I am not killing them. You are. The question is, when will YOU stop killing them?

Grey One talks sass said...

Joe/-FJ's talking point of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ignores the elephant in the room. And they aren't the only ones spreading the same crap all over the interwebz.

After reading all their panicked posts I have a question - how does Ukraine negotiate peace with an opponent who publicly announced their plan to eradicate them? How can one negotiate in good faith when past negotiations were broken, more than once?

Love to hear how I'm hysterical, not versed in the nuance, or... (my favorite) I don't understand the context.

Les Carpenter said...

Again, as you always do... dane around to question to a non answer.

Joe Conservative said...

an opponent who publicly announced their plan to eradicate them?

Perhaps you can point to some Putin statements to that effect?

Joe Conservative said...

"The can all Die" isn't an answer? Who knew?

Joe Conservative said...

I can point to Hamas statements to that effect.
