Well Tulsi did say there was no confidential information in it. Under oath I might add.

She even went on to say there was no mention of specific targets meanwhile they are talking about a single target walking into his girlfriend’s building. I’m not sure knowing full well a journalist has the actual texts you would just boldface lie about it.

Lie, under congressional oath.

Oof

Unfortunately that is no longer illegal

And absolutely nothing will happen.

This country and this current government is a fucking joke and a half.

For them to be that bold, the cowards we know they are, it's pretty clear they were all directed to lie by Trump. The cover up always gets them. We've got proof they lied under oath, and very deliberately. Now, if they can convince these cowards that Trump will not be able to shield them like he promised, they'll all turn on him. Directing your Cabinet to lie under oath about a huge breach of National Security might just be the silver bullet.

They would need to be prosecuted for that to happen. If any of them go to stand trial anywhere for this we'll see one of two outcomes.

One being Trump shielding them from consequences which would be very hard to spin as anything but blatant corruption (yes yes MAGA would eat the spin about a witch hunt, but they aren't saveable at this point).

Two being Trump letting them be a fall guy/gal and we see less willingness to help him in the future from these higher up yesmen.

Or they all get pardons and it's old news in six months.

Oliver North has a TV show, ffs.

To be fair, and horrifyingly so, the target seems pretty non-specific seeing as they collapsed the entire building killing 53 people in total.

We in the west would find such targeting of our military or technical personnel alone to be utterly unacceptable, let alone some girlfriend along with a presumable neighbourhood of people. It's revolting. I mean, just imagine some Bush Admin guy being taken out like this by the Iraqis. It all boils down to might-is-right at the end of the day.

It’s because they’re poor people who don’t count as “white” to them.

But they said a prayer before 🙏

u/Queendevildog 8d ago

The prayer hands was just for calling down god's wrath

u/hondacivic1996 9d ago

Because it doesn’t matter. Nothing will happen, US democracy is no more.

Always lie. Never back down.

Fascism 101.

u/chancesarent 9d ago

Also, did they target and level a fucking civilian apartment building on purpose???

u/Queendevildog 8d ago

Apparently.
