I bought Woodward's last book War. I never finished reading it after I realized that he was presenting information that rightfully should have been released in real time, not saved for his book. The book was stale and irrelevant by the time it was released. I put it down in disgust. Woodward is no longer a patriot; he is just another grifter.
I am currently reading Isenhart"s Revenge: The inside story/Blah, Blah, Eff'n Blah. I'm probably going to $hitcan this one too, for the same reasons I offloaded Woodward's book.
I don't begrudge these people making a living but what they are doing is cheating the American public. We need to be informed in real time what the fuck is going on. Imagine if Goldberg had kept his mouth shut about the current Signal clusterfuck and saved it for his book instead. This is a clear example of how easily these things can go sideways.
Dead Americans, as Steve states with his precision prose. Yes, dead Americans or wounded Americans or suffering Americans or no-rights made-slaves-again Americans: this is the outcome, logical and horrifically irrational (photons as waves and particles) of Trump and all (and I mean ALL who are of his ilk and mindset and psychosis (which includes all those who voted for him for whatever reason(s).
Yes, president's men and women - everyone of them subhumans of a species of homo sapiens that is evolutionary greed and malice down to their core DNA. Let's hope the president's men and women are exposed by tough, smart journalists who prize democracy over their own welfare, and prosecuted by fearless, combative politicians in the arena of public opinion or even in the halls of congress or courts, may we hope. Force their resignations and total life disgrace, perhaps be charged with breaking laws of not recording high level intelligence conversations. Make it a part of the Hands Off protests on April 5. I'm going. Make it the Trump legacy: deadly incompetence, stupidity on epic scales, killing hubris, and brains wired for sadistic pleasure. Zero souls. Negative humanity.
I knew it was going to be bad. I never imagined it could be this bad….but then again….no person who had any self worth, any moral compass any skill except the ability to lie continuously..would take a job in this administration. That was always going to be a huge problem. Nobody…NOBODY worthwhile would work for that asshole …..
Just emailed a lovely friend,” I need to know your heart” Her brother in law was instrumental in the false elector scheme. Her sister and BIL, radical Christion Nationalists and Trump cheerleaders are her closest family support. I will no longer pretend to not see this Fascist takeover. Anyone not passionately opposed is off my radar for energy, companionship, and support
I listened to the hearing for a good while this morning…the lack of accountability was staggering. Tulsi Gabbard even said that she couldn’t remember where she was during the call. “Traveling in the Asia-Pacific Region” was all that she could come up with. These people are either mentally incompetent or simply criminals..or maybe both.
A president and his entire cabinet of blathering, blithering village idiots "I don't know. I don't remember. Never heard of it" Are they all victims of Alzheimers ( and I never joke about this horrendous disease. My aunt had dementia but she was 100). This is like the TV show comedy from the 1960s "Get Smart" with a bumbling spy called Agent Maxwell Smart who used his shoe phone that probably had better security than these buffoons. They all get.the same script whether a Senate hearing to be on SCOTUS or a Senate hearing for the cabinet. They think we are all as fucking stupid as them. I am incandescent with rage! And Steve Witkoff in MOSCOW probably sitting with Putin and showing him the phone while laughing as he was typing his emojis. If I am ever held hostage he is the last one I want.negotiating for me. They should all be hanged for treason except Hegseth. He deserves the electric chair. He would burst into flames from the alcohol in his system the secont the juice hit. . Each one of them are criminals. You can't be involved with Donny if you are not. What honest person with integrity would go near them?
"Scott Jennings need not interpret what has happened, and tell us a version of the latest MAGA lie, which is somehow that it was the reporter’s fault".
As Stuart Stevens wryly observed, there are not two sides to a lie. Yet CNN and much of what's left of the mainstream media obsessively provides ample time for MAGA gaslighters.
...And the Enola Gay? We can't have homo planes in our air force.
I know MAGA is brimming with stupid/stoopid imbeciles, but do they think the Enola Gay was a flying gay bar?
Their stupidity, arrogance, and bigotry is off the scale. On newsmax last night Trump said nothing in the email exchanges was classified. They must think we are all idiots. They started calling the bombing of houthis in Yemen an attack plan rather than a war plan. Any dummy knows that the military plans, tactic's and strategy, involved in an attack are always classified. Somebody HAS TO THROW THESE BUMS OUT!!!!!
We're engaged. Most are not, and very often for good reason. Men and women work all day and have family obligations in the evening. What little time they have for current events just sounds like a cacophony of noise. For every truthteller there's a chorus line of gaslighting liars and they're a lot louder.
I understand, but all they need do is watch one MSNBC show a night, Lawrence O'Donnell, Ari Melber or Rachel Maddow, in addition to whatever other TV news they watch and the truth will be obvious to them. Their future, the future of their kids and grandchildren is at stake. Are they too busy for that? I hope not. But if they continue to ignore the threats we face from the Trump administration sooner or later they will recognize the consequences of their indifference and take action; I hope it won't be too late.
Anthony, you're such a good man. We are on several substacks together, but they would never watch MSNBC. Rachel Maddow? They would rather have needles stuck in their eyes. I have a cousin in her late 80s, an educated "intellectual" snob who was a teacher for her entire career and still gets the NY Times delivered everyday but can't bear to read it because it's so "left wing" but needs it for the book review section for her book club. Reads and comprehends.more than I ever will. I don't know what happened to her. She's a Trumper who I love and cannot give up. She has no children or grandchildren. She is comfortable, not destitute but that is neither here nor there. She is a member of the teachers union and has healthcare and a pension for years. She finally broke me a few weeks ago and I actually screamed at her to get her head out of her ass and out of that FOX-hole as she parroted their bullshit back to me. She thinks Brett Baier and Mark Levin are brilliant. I told her I love her (and I do. I have very little family) but she cannot even mention the "T" word to me. She's also old school and does nothing on the internet. She knows how to text and use o her Iphone. Wait until she finds out the Persimmon Puppet is stopping printed social security checks as she reconciles her bank statements every month and cries if she is off 5¢. "Oh she huffs. I would never do any banking on the internet" I take no joy in this. She will be hysterical. I don't know what she will do if she tries to call SS or find an office. She will have to set up direct deposit when she cannot even place an order on Amazon and gets people to do things for her (with a big, gorgeous Apple on her desk) I think she may even have to do it person to prove her identification, after screaming about how the election was stolen by illegal migrants with no proof of citizenship. There are millions of seniors who don't even have a cellphone or the internet. Then they will personally experience the repurcussions of the horrendous choice they made in voting for that incompetent monster.
I can relate, Robin. I have a young niece (in-law) that told me "she had" to vote for Trump. I was shocked, but before I could finish blurting out What-the-F***? another niece screamed "No politics!!" (This was at a family gathering between Christmas and New Year). I still don't know why "she had to" especially since Trumpism is the antithesis of who she is. She is a kind, well-educated person, but I've never been more disappointed in anyone ever.
My older brother too. We were brought up as Dems. Grandchildren of immigrant grandparents. He is in fiance and I guess was a Repub for years fiscally for taxes but I don't remember having one discussion about politics our entire lives until Trump 10 years ago and it sickened me how he was all in, and she voted for Hillary! Then for 4 years I had to hear the "Dementia Joe" wise cracks from him and his dumb as a rock wife and then their insulting disdain of Kamala as a DEI hire. Guess they missed her taking a scalpel to surgically castrate Brett Kavanaugh at his Senate hearing that left him in tears furiously going through his little pocket Constitution for answers if they didn't air it on FOX news.
My brother is a highly educated, and successful totally self-made man. I remember the many hard years the two of them went through and I could not be happier for them. They worked hard and they made it. I don't know how they could change like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. He's a great, kind person and everyone loves him so I don't know where this came from? They have a 5 year old granddaughter who has a better vocabulary and is more articulate and empathetic than this babbling babboon they voted for. The final nail was when I asked her how she, who has 2 granddaughters, could vote for a man who reversed Roe while she and I had more rights than they will ever have. Her answer? We're in NY. They will always be able to get an abortion. No empathy or heartache for the millions of women living in draconian states going for back alley abortions and the more desperate ones will.go.back to wire coat hangers. It sickens me. Yet.they are two people who would give you the shirt off their backs and.there is always room at their table for one or 10 more. So I completely understand your disappointment.
Thank you Robin. Sooner or later something will happen to convince people like your cousin that they have been duped by Trump and his fascist movement. Maybe it will take a long delay in receipt of a social security check or the inconvenience of a trip to a distant social security office to inquire about a delay or reduced payment. Or sadly, it may be something as devastating as war caused by the Bully-in-Chief's unjustifiable demands for territory:
“We need Greenland for international safety and security. We need it. We have to have it. I hate to put it that way, but we’re going to have to have it. “We have to have that land because it’s not possible to properly defend a large section of this Earth, not just the United States, without it. It’s an island that from a defensive posture, and even offensive posture, is something we need, especially with the world the way it is, and we’re going to have to have it.” Trump made this statement from the Oval Office last night.
You cannot make a blind man see. I am 68. My friends don't want hear it or to talk about it. All liberal Dems. They see. They hear. They know. They don't have to be convinced. They have health issues and worries and other problems. They can compartmentalize, I cannot.
That quote from Trump this morning about Greenland? "We have to properly defend a large section of the earth and not just the United States"? He can't even spell "stollen". Stephen Miller wrote this for sure. This is Putin/Xi/Elon and Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin and the technofascists. This is the plan. World domination. This is James Bond villian shit that even Ian Fleming could not have written.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE???😭😭😭😭😭
Instead of using their money for good, these billionaires and warmongers will destroy us. This is every dystopian thriller, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and scifi movie that I loved come to life. Those writers were the visionaries. Not this Ketamine addicted Nazi racist buffoon with a chainsaw. They think they are going to colonize Mars? The only " space" this coward Elon Musk will ever see is when he ODs on a ketamine trip. If there is not a Karma Asteroid to wipe Trump, these billionaire lunatics, the gov't that he installed, JD Vance, and these insane christo-fascists and RFK Jr in one fell swoop we will not recover.
That's it. I just got a push notice from the NYT that "Pious Pam" fake Christian Bondi "suggested that a criminal inquiry into the sharing of military plans on an unsecured chat is unlikely". There will be a civil war. There is no way out with them in control. In 66 days look what they have done.
I'm not excusing the lack of interest, but we are losing the "vibe" war with the majority of voters that respond viscerally to the loudest voices in their head.
There was a time not long ago when Americans drank from the same information well. Even my nephew, who voted for Harris, scoffed at his mom (my sister) and I for watching MSNBC which he regards as the reverse mirror image of Fox. (Hello palm. Meet face).
Those of us in The Warning community are passengers on the Titanic. We see the iceberg dead ahead while the other passengers are still dancing in the ballroom.
If the Murdoch owned WSJ is freaking out (at least about the financial lunacy in place) you know we are in deep, deep doo-doo.
Interesting. I have had the same reaction from disinterested people who insist MSNBC is as much a propaganda outlet for progressives as Fox "News" is for fascist magats. I guess the problem is to convince people their future hinges on a more careful and critical examination of progressivism v. trumpism, truth v. lies.
Gar forgive me, because this is so serious but "do they think the Enola Gay was a flying gay bar"?. 😂😂😂😂😂 One of the best lines.ever. I may have to steal it. I promise I will say I got it from someone on substack. I can't stop laughing. I am actually howling...ROTF. Thank you for making my night after such a couple of horrendous days.
I’m glad I made you smile, and God bless Trump and Hegseth for preventing the Enola Gay from co-mingling with our straight fighter bombers. It’s no exaggeration to say our government is now under the command of middle schoolers.
Guess my Dad flew the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" B-17 bombers. The B-29s must have been more.advanced.and "woke".
My nephews are in middle.school. Trump and Hegseth can't hold a.candle to my guys. We have to go lower. More like nursery school with the toddlers like my baby nephew who loves nothing more than to play with trucks and toy planes. Oy are we in trouble.
Hegseth must resign now! He not only is incompetent, but a liar. I don’t have any experience in national security but I would venture to say that WAR PLANS would be considered classified! Gabbard is also a liar and incompetent, just check out her sworn testimony to the Senate yesterday. She actually said under oath that the attack plans were not classified. And these people are responsible for keeping all of us safe? All confidence and trust in them has been shattered. Hegseth’s actions exposed our brave pilots to even greater danger. They must all resign! If a subordinate shared this information on an unsecured app, they would be in the brig right now facing court-martial and a lengthy stay at Leavenworth! I hope I’m wrong, but my fear is that our enemies, foreign terrorist organizations committed to our destruction, have taken note of Trump’s national security team’s incompetence and now feel more emboldened to do us harm.
The recent U.S. attack on Houthis revealed to the public a security breach of unparalleled proportions. The breach identified a rogue, unprincipled element of senior U.S. leadership. This group knowingly and unlawfully violated OPSEC rules and U.S. Espionage Act laws. The group discussed—on a commercial communications app—an imminent top secret aerial attack on an enemy in the Arabian Gulf.
The commercial app Signal’s communications by the law-breaking group extended across the U.S. and internationally. The group included one operative that was in Moscow where open communications are collected and analyzed.
The meeting was set up and attendees invited on the commercial Signal app by the NSA, our National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. The NSA is the most senior of our intelligence officers. This is not “setting an example”.
NSA Michael Waltz assumed "full responsibility" for the leaked Signal group chat of senior Trump officials. "I take full responsibility. I built the group," Waltz said on "The Ingraham Angle" Tuesday. "It's embarrassing. We're going to get to the bottom of it."
Get to the bottom of it? What is that supposed to mean? You more than hit rock bottom, you went 6 feet under. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, a participant in the group chat, has not yet hit rock bottom, but is aiming to exceed Waltz’s debacle depth record. Hegseth flat out denies the obvious breach by trying to wordsmith like a 5 year old.
I have the deepest respect for your steely, relentless, courageous determination to continue telling the truth about the convicted felon rogue “president” and his circus of unqualified fools and weenies.
You must be exhausted!
Find rest and solace from something or someone you love.
The thing that surprises me the most about this entire affair is the utter stupidity of those involved. We knew that they were ignorant, arrogant and malevolent. Those are job requirements in the Trump administration. But I thought they would be more intelligent about putting their evil intentions into practice.
Steve! Please note that Steve Witkoff was in MOSCOW, AND WAS ON THE CHAT!!!
HELLO!!! Steve Witkoff is Trump’s envoy to the Middle East! The war plans identified the timing and targets of USA bombings against the Houthi rebels in Yemen!
These rebels block oil shipments!
IS THE USA MILITARY TEAMING UP EITH PUTIN? Or was the GROUP CHAT just bragging to PUTIN?
I just wanted to chime in that this was terrific writing. A lot is being written about this, and ive read a lot, but your perspective is interesting and unique. Thank you, and looking forward to the interview today.
What do Woodward, Bernstein and Goldberg have in common? They exposed all the president’s men.
Thankfully it wasn't Woodward linked in otherwise we'd have had to wait on the book.
Correct. That in itself is treasonous to me. Same with that wanker John Bolton.
Ditto Maggie Haberman!
I bought Woodward's last book War. I never finished reading it after I realized that he was presenting information that rightfully should have been released in real time, not saved for his book. The book was stale and irrelevant by the time it was released. I put it down in disgust. Woodward is no longer a patriot; he is just another grifter.
I am currently reading Isenhart"s Revenge: The inside story/Blah, Blah, Eff'n Blah. I'm probably going to $hitcan this one too, for the same reasons I offloaded Woodward's book.
I don't begrudge these people making a living but what they are doing is cheating the American public. We need to be informed in real time what the fuck is going on. Imagine if Goldberg had kept his mouth shut about the current Signal clusterfuck and saved it for his book instead. This is a clear example of how easily these things can go sideways.
Dead Americans, as Steve states with his precision prose. Yes, dead Americans or wounded Americans or suffering Americans or no-rights made-slaves-again Americans: this is the outcome, logical and horrifically irrational (photons as waves and particles) of Trump and all (and I mean ALL who are of his ilk and mindset and psychosis (which includes all those who voted for him for whatever reason(s).

Force their resignations and total life disgrace, perhaps be charged with breaking laws of not recording high level intelligence conversations. Make it a part of the Hands Off protests on April 5. I'm going. Make it the Trump legacy: deadly incompetence, stupidity on epic scales, killing hubris, and brains wired for sadistic pleasure. Zero souls. Negative humanity.

That was always going to be a huge problem. Nobody…NOBODY worthwhile would work for that asshole …..
In 2016, I KNEW it was going to be this bad
So did I. I have been railing against this monstrous idiot for 10 years. I hate what he has done to America, the world, and me.
Lord, I’ve also been railing for 10 years. Family and friends “sick of hearing about it”
I’m to the point where I can’t and won’t spend time to engage or discuss with those willfully blind at this critical historic juncture
It is frustrating. I've lost family members over this issue.
Just emailed a lovely friend,” I need to know your heart” Her brother in law was instrumental in the false elector scheme. Her sister and BIL, radical Christion Nationalists and Trump cheerleaders are her closest family support. I will no longer pretend to not see this Fascist takeover.

It is all so sad.

And these people are responsible for keeping all of us safe? All confidence and trust in them has been shattered. Hegseth’s actions exposed our brave pilots to even greater danger. They must all resign! If a subordinate shared this information on an unsecured app, they would be in the brig right now facing court-martial and a lengthy stay at Leavenworth! I hope I’m wrong, but my fear is that our enemies, foreign terrorist organizations committed to our destruction, have taken note of Trump’s national security team’s incompetence and now feel more emboldened to do us harm.
GI Joe Pete Hegseth 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸 needs to be court martialed (except they fired the JAGS) and face a firing squad for treason.
So well written Steve
The recent U.S. attack on Houthis revealed to the public a security breach of unparalleled proportions. The breach identified a rogue, unprincipled element of senior U.S. leadership. This group knowingly and unlawfully violated OPSEC rules and U.S. Espionage Act laws. The group discussed—on a commercial communications app—an imminent top secret aerial attack on an enemy in the Arabian Gulf.
The commercial app Signal’s communications by the law-breaking group extended across the U.S. and internationally. The group included one operative that was in Moscow where open communications are collected and analyzed.
The meeting was set up and attendees invited on the commercial Signal app by the NSA, our National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. The NSA is the most senior of our intelligence officers. This is not “setting an example”.
NSA Michael Waltz assumed "full responsibility" for the leaked Signal group chat of senior Trump officials. "I take full responsibility. I built the group," Waltz said on "The Ingraham Angle" Tuesday. "It's embarrassing. We're going to get to the bottom of it."
Get to the bottom of it? What is that supposed to mean? You more than hit rock bottom, you went 6 feet under. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, a participant in the group chat, has not yet hit rock bottom, but is aiming to exceed Waltz’s debacle depth record. Hegseth flat out denies the obvious breach by trying to wordsmith like a 5 year old.

I have the deepest respect for your steely, relentless, courageous determination to continue telling the truth about the convicted felon rogue “president” and his circus of unqualified fools and weenies.
You must be exhausted!
Find rest and solace from something or someone you love.
I send you this prayer . . .
“May you be well, happy and at peace.
May you be free from pain, hunger and suffering.”
Carry on, my brother.
Beautiful!
Thank you Robin. Take care and be well.
You too Steve 🙏❤
The thing that surprises me the most about this entire affair is the utter stupidity of those involved. We knew that they were ignorant, arrogant and malevolent. Those are job requirements in the Trump administration. But I thought they would be more intelligent about putting their evil intentions into practice.
Steve! Please note that Steve Witkoff was in MOSCOW, AND WAS ON THE CHAT!!!
HELLO!!! Steve Witkoff is Trump’s envoy to the Middle East! The war plans identified the timing and targets of USA bombings against the Houthi rebels in Yemen!
These rebels block oil shipments!
IS THE USA MILITARY TEAMING UP EITH PUTIN? Or was the GROUP CHAT just bragging to PUTIN?
What’s up here!
This compares to a 5 year old denying knowledge of the missing chocolate chip cookies, as he ask mom for a glass of milk to wash down the evidence.
I just wanted to chime in that this was terrific writing. A lot is being written about this, and ive read a lot, but your perspective is interesting and unique. Thank you, and looking forward to the interview today.
Thank you , Steve! It would be a clown show if it weren’t so serious!
Maybe the Enola Gay can be renamed the Petey Thiel to maintain the hypocrisy.
Perhaps either that or Toxic Masculinity. You seriously can't make this insanity up.
I’m still stunned. If only this were a nightmare from which I could wake up.
The writing has been on the walls for 10+ years
Maybe more.
