Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos , I’m asking you to look at this once through the eyes of the people wearing the uniform since you own @washingtonpost.
We volunteered and accepted the bargain. Missed birthdays, broken bodies, years away from our families, hostile fire, and the possibility that if we die, our families get roughly $500,000 in life insurance. In much of America today, that barely buys a house.
We know our lot and we’re not complaining about it.
But the job is hard enough without having to wonder whether an American newspaper is going to publish classified wartime command deliberations because its newsroom despises the administration and wants another cheap political scalp.
Fight the President, the Secretary, the Pentagon. Whatever, that’s politics.
But when the ammunition for that fight is information tied to ongoing operations and the private judgments of senior commanders, you’re spending our risk to buy your headline.
That’s the part WE need you to understand.
Murphy already gets a vote. So does the enemy. Exhaustion, bad intelligence, mechanical failure and plain rotten luck all get votes. We volunteered to face those things.
We did NOT volunteer to become collateral damage in the Washington Post’s feud with an administration it hates.
Your reporters will publish the piece, watch the engagement numbers, and go home.
Some American kid will still be standing watch when they do.
Jeff, give us a fucking chance. Come on man. You’ve got to clean house at that paper. The journalists are too blackpilled to be of any use anymore. In fact, they’re literally harming us.
Our brothers and sisters are in a worse situation now due to this reporting. Don’t agree with the combat operations, fine. But come on. Leaking an SDOB? That’s objectively insane behavior.
***to my followers: share so we know he sees this.***
@SenTedCruz@JohnCornyn as a Texas voter I would to know why you are not willing to publicly support @SenMikeLee on keeping the Senate in session until the Save Act is passed. My god this is a 70/30, maybe even an 80/20 issue
@tedcruz@KenPaxtonTX@Bethvanduyne I find this to be more truth than funny.
Like I heard in the past, we have the party of evil and the party of stupid. I hate to say, I vote with the party of stupid.
Prove me wrong. PLEASE!!
@HansMahncke I’ll ask you the same question I asked her. Why would she stand her ground when the source clearly burned her??
I wish reporters would burn bad sources.
This is the WORST time for Trump to be attacking his supporters
In the last election cycle there was as huge fight between DeSantis supporters and Trump supporters but as the election drew nearer and DeSantis dropped out the right came together around Trump
In fact Libertarians, former Liberals, and Independents joined in voting for Trump.
The issue now is that Trump needs a coalition to help the GOP win the midterms and everyday his rhetoric, decisions, are pushing people away from the GOP.
I never thought Trump was perfect but the GOP is certainly preferable to the Democratic party, just look at Swalwell.
But I dont see how Trump recovers enough coalition votes to stop whats coming in November. Maybe he knows this.
Get ready for a blow out in the midterms if this continues. Democrats will subpoena, impeach, imprison, etc.
Maybe its mutual. Trump die-hards know they are on the chopping block when Democrats sweep and Trump's ego has him refusing to bother will growing his coalition
