Is there anyone who is actually competent in this Administration or are we stuck with a bunch of lackeys and yes men? (Purely rhetorical.)

I've used the BBC to avoid perceptions of domestic media bias. I have not worked through calculations personally, but there are many sources who are saying the same thing.

"So was the indifference to the potential civilian cost of the strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, designed to curb attacks on Red Sea shipping. The Houthi-run health ministry said that 53 people including five children and two women were killed. The response by the national security adviser, Michael Waltz, to the attacks was to post emojis: a fist, an American flag and fire."

"The fundamental issue is that 18 high-ranking individuals were happy discussing extremely sensitive material on a private messaging app, highlighting the administration’s extraordinary amateurishness, recklessness and unaccountability.

The visceral hostility to Europe spelt out again by the vice-president, JD Vance, was glaring."

"Bros governing by chat….

it’s not just that we are being bombarded with their idiocy and the consequences of it. It’s that we have our noses shoved in it, constantly, as we are told that accomplished service members and heroes that aren’t white middle-aged men are 'DEI' hires."

Everywhere this morning, MAGA meatheads are manning the front lines. Testosterone-poisoned blockheads, muscles stuffed into ill-fitting suits, clamor for headspace in the online green rooms of right-wing media, waiting for a minute or two to perform the spectacular logistic acrobatics that will please the circus master."

"Steve Witkoff was on there too, texting the most emojis of all, five in a row (two hands-praying, a flexed bicep, and two American flags)! And guess where Steve Witkoff happened to be on Thursday, March 13? Why, in RUSSIA, getting choked up while Putin told him he’d prayed in church for Trump after he got shot in the ear."

"All the speculation that goofs like Hegseth and Gabbard and Ratcliff and the rest of them were amateurs and jokes has brought us to a place where the people supposedly in charge of our national security were celebrating the attacks on the Houthis by posting 'fist' and 'flexed bicep' and 'American flag' and 'hands praying' emojis along with reassurances to each other that they had said 'a prayer for victory.'”

“'If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now,' Hegseth said of the disclosure [that Hillary was using a private email server as Secretry of State] in 2016. He added, 'If you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts.'”
