The White House posted a photo of Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of Personnel Dan Scavino, and other administration officials on its X account on Saturday evening. The photo shows a makeshift room surrounded by black curtains and multiple maps of the region.

Jesus H Fucking Christ. This is a security violation, severe damage to national security, complete incompetence and insult to all of us who take national security seriously of epic proportions.

Also leaving couch fucker in vice president actually in charge in the situation room is such a dereliction of duty.

I only wish we could have gotten a TV with a live Xitter search feed for "Iraq" in the background again. Yes, again. (Apologies for YouTube link.)

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Who gives a fuck where this monster monitors his war crimes from? Security issue? Fucking good.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

A security violation? From the guy who said "You're the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it." during an interview? From the administration that accidentally texted it's plans to bomb Yemen to a journalist 2 hours before the attack? You mean the guy that tweeted photos from a satellite so classified, the last guy that leaked photos from it was sent to jail for espionage? The guy that stole hundreds of classified documents and destroyed an unknown number more? Nah...

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 hours ago

All the first parts are actually legit, the entire intelligence apparatus is designed to gather information for POTUS. They can declassify stuff solo. Like everything else its assumed the elected official will do their job and not just blab for fun.

What a giant, weeping pussy Trump is.

Mr. Xi, please send us your Dongfeng 31 missiles, my people yearn for freedom

[–] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Look it wouldnt surprise me if the US military does its 'own thing' and keeps the president in the loop - but i doubt he had anything to do with anything from anywhere, except get a photo taken.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The point is that it's not secure, so other people could snoop, especially since it's a semi public club.

[–] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Oh I know, I was just doubting the fact that his room was probs just a photo shoot with not much useful info even if anyone was snooping.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 37 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

What a bullshit country we've become.

We've arranged ourselves to be in compliance with the content of one, doddering racist's fever dream of America.

The video of him walking around shaking hands and getting back pats from the abundantly available sycophants and psychopaths at Mar-A-Lago while he launches an illegal war to further destabilize an entire region and kill 100+ children at a hospital is viscerally disgusting.

Looking at this photo as well as a few others, I have identified like 14 opsec failures.

This administration is a fucking joke.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 20 points 5 hours ago

I'm sure the pictures even existing is at least one them.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

These were probably the same Iran invasion plans he had been letting like Kid Rock look at and were likely seen by numerous spies.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

If you're only bombing targets then most of that is a given, the high priority targets are well known.

What do you expect from an orange guy that kept classified documents in his toilet room...

[–] totesmygoat@piefed.ca 1 points 8 minutes ago

I hope Iran has this place on the short list of places to remove from the plant.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I mean it’s pretty vulnerable so we got that going for us

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 43 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

Operation Epic Fury?

Seriously? Bit on the nose.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 52 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Epstein Fury*

I refuse to call it by any other name.

Go right ahead, provided you also refer to the Whitehouse construction project as the Epstein Ballroom

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Epstein's Balls Room

[–] shish_mish@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Absolutely.

Look at him in that picture, nothing epic fury there as he looks like a corpse left in the river too long.

I mean look at that solid SecOps with that curtain separating them and their secure comms from the rest of the international golfers that are definitely not spies.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 38 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Is that a real picture? He’s melting …

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

Yeah look at the right face droop. You can tell when he has a TIA because he starts making exceptionally terrible decisions to feel like he's still in control

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 31 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

What press dude let that out?

  • He looks like he's 90 and not 79
  • He didn't have time to do his hair
  • He looks pissed and scared at the same time? Not sure how that's possible, but it's true.
[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago

pissed and scared at the same time

Probably shit himself again. He's pissed because he can't leave to change his nappy and scared everyone else heard it. Based on everyone else's expressions, they did.

He looks like he’s had a stroke and was just wheeled in to fill space.

Christ Trump looks at death's door in the photo.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 hours ago

Also, what kind of a fucked up person stats a war and is casually at a giving gold course? I mean that's just all kinds of pathetic to declare a war, looking school kids while you're off on yet another golf vacation instead of needing there making the tough calls, just absolutely fucking pathetic.
