March 28Mar 28 Can't answer the question?I’ll be as clear as I can. I would absolutely be held to a different standard than leadership. Dick Cheney had evidence manufactured to justify starting Iraq War two, killing hundreds of thousands of people; no consequence.James Clapper lied to the Senate about NSA spying on American citizens; no consequenceDrone strike after Abbey gate deaths during Afghan withdrawal, family of 10 murdered; no consequenceFor those in charge it is, and always will be, rules for thee, not me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 28Mar 28 https://open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark/p/trump-cards-foreign-policy-without-principles-ideas-gambling-rhetoric-power-weakness The message to America’s allies couldn’t be clearer: Trump doesn’t care about friendship, democracy, or sovereignty. All he cares about is cards. Do you have something of monetary value to offer him or his family? Do you have an economic bloc that’s big enough to fight back against the United States? Do you have nuclear weapons?If not, start working on it.The “what have you done for me lately” AF leadership strategy at work

Goldberg, Fox Newers, CNNers, and other media types. Maybe he's the leaker on Elon's war plans briefing, which they probably did over Signal after it was cancelled. https://www.wired.com/story/michael-waltz-left-his-venmo-public/ https://prospect.org/politics/2025-03-26-michael-waltz-venmo-public-full-of-journalists/ I wonder if he uses the same venmo that the rest of us use, where the first thing it asks you when you set up your account is to have access to your contacts to sync them. Sure would be some lazy journalism if they didn't check to make sure that's why his phone contacts all appeared in his venmo like the rest of us. Sure would be lazy of the commentariat to run with it without thinking...

He pro probably thinks the fact Goldberg is a contact regardless of reason is bad because it means Waltz is in contact with the enemy. Or maybe there was some sort of arrangement between them.

March 29Mar 29 Hmmm, a nation acting in its own best interests. Other, smaller nations deciding where to hitch their wagons in their own best interests. Whatever is the world becoming?

Kudos to Vance this is the first time someone vocalizes what we actually want, and i agree with a lot of it. The only thing that strikes me as odd is: On one hand, Greenland is suddenly a "priority for national security," while on the other hand "We won’t do anything about it, but we’ll invest in icebreakers."
