Hillary Clinton warns Trump stupidity will leave US feeble and friendless (www.theguardian.com)

Hillary Clinton on Friday called the Trump administration’s approach to governing both dumb and dangerous in an essay excoriating the Signal chat scandal and the Elon Musk-led mission to slash the federal workforce, and concluding that Trump would make the US “feeble and friendless”.

The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that has been given the headline: “How much dumber will this get?” and opens: “It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity.”

Clinton starts with the Signal chat group scandal, when Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, mistakenly added a top US journalist to a small group of government leaders on the encrypted but unclassified app and then the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, proceeded to discuss intricate details of a forthcoming airstrike on Houthi militants in Yemen and report back to the group on the deadly results.

Hillary Clinton can fuck off

Yeah. I hate when experienced people write on a subject they've known and worked for decades.

We should hate them because they were an imperfect candidate with a career of work and support only overshadowed by Saint Bernie, and expected America to not elect a felon.

They were not imperfect... They didn't adapt to times. Election was won not because of past career of work but by something else they (and their expensive consultants) do not know how to handle

They not only don't know how to handle it, they supported him during the damn primaries. They wanted him to be the 2016 candidate, because they figured he had no shot of winning.

We know this. Go away Hillary.

And take Nancy Pelosi with you.

I wonder if she wishes she’d played fair with Bernie and given him a chance to win in 2016.

[–] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

People like Clinton live in a consequence free world. I doubt she cares. I wish she'd fuck off.

"Look at what a bit mess I made! This sure sucks for all of you."

[–] Disaster@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Perhaps she shouldn't have proudly orchestrated a desperate attempt to build trump up at the expense of an actual competitive candidate, then?

Go away, Clintons. You're a pestilence.

When the worst person you know makes a good point.
