Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

I realize Axios sucks, but it was this or the Daily Mail, which was who Trump talked to, and fuck them.

That dumbass blurted out the location of Chinese missile silos in passing on Fox just last week.

Now that's funny as hell. What an idjit he is.

[–] [email protected] 117 points 2 weeks ago

Wow, what restraint. Now I definitely trust this guy who can't even trust himself with highly confidential information and the nuclear codes. /s.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The truth is he can't control what pops out of his mouth and he knows that.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like he can’t control what comes out either end.

President Poopy Pants 💩

God I forgot about that interview

[–] DudeImMacGyver 11 points 2 weeks ago

I doubt he's that self aware.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So he's definitely leaking intel, then.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

And leaking bodily fluids too most likely.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 weeks ago

He'll get his security briefings from Putin, thank you very much.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 weeks ago

Translation - the dementia has gotten bad enough he has no idea what he can say and what he can't.

missed the . before com

https://www.axios.com/2024/08/22/trump-decline-intelligence-briefings-leak

Regardless if he receives them or not, unless every sentence contains his name, he won’t care. I doubt he can even read and comprehend the briefings at this point.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sure they have entire tomes of sentences with his name in it.

"Trump is the nation's greatest security threat", and lots of variations there in.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Weird. Thanks. Fixed.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

also: can't be accused of being intelligent

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Orrr, he doesn't fucking care anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Their articles give way too little information.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sure I've read last week that his credentials for these briefings were revoked.
