Karoline Leavitt is a bad person.

Of course she is. She was previously part of the Heritage Foundation and part of all that Project 2025 nonsense, so she isn't just some random hire for the administration.

She was a trainer for project 2025. She's up to her nose in 'this war was sanctioned by God and trump was appointed by Jesus and it will lead to Armageddon and the second coming of Christ and oops sorry the rest of the world gets to go to hell'.

This, of course, gives them the justification to ignore the laws of men because they are following the laws of God and that's really, really bad for the rest of us.

All those plastic gussied up shrill hate marms will be discarded in a couple years max when the Trump administration loses power. If midterms go how I and many others expect and hope, the power loss begins in November. Trump will go through a historic narcissistic collapse from losing the house, maybe the senate, and most endorsement races he propped up, investigations in the house will be guaranteed for his remaining two years, so he’ll start throwing tantrums, which always means firing people left and right to blame them. The women will be first.

Thimble_of_Quasar | 3 hours ago

Exactly! It makes people blind, evil doesn't come with horns it comes from anyone. This thinking leads to the tendency to think the presence good means the absence of evil because bad people can't have anything decent about them therefore if they see the positive thing first it will make them skim the negative things later.

Eastern_Hornet_6432 | 2 hours ago

Oskar Schindler was only able to fly under the radar so long because he was able to understand Nazis on a human level and could anticipate what they'd be motivated by and pay attention to.

Thimble_of_Quasar | 3 hours ago

I would say it's critical to do the opposite and never give these people the out of not being human. Evil doesn't come with red eyes and fangs, it comes from normal looking people that can smile, laugh, and even be pleasant to be around sometimes. A failure to understand that blinds people to what is in front of them when they run into terrible people because we see over and over and over again that people tend to see the presence of good as the absence evil. Because bad people are all bad and this person tells jokes and is kind to animals, they could never do xyz, when that just isn't true. It's how people end up being "above suspicion" when there is no such thing. I get where you are coming from because I cannot stand a single hair on this woman but yeah.

The bigger mistake is thinking they aren’t human, they are simply the worst kind (humanity is ruled by fear, hate and greed among other things).

You can’t live in denial. I’ve studied WW2 a great deal and a strong narrative I see in post WW2 is making the mistake of dehumanizing the enemy because it leads to the problem becoming cyclical.

People don’t believe the ones they are close to could possibly be subhuman, because they are not (that’s a fantasy) they could simply be the worst most destructive type of person and you refuse to see or address it because you’ve deluded yourself into thinking those people are inhuman.

Once Americans start dying , the American public will start putting pressure on the government.

Considering the support for this war in america is already questionable at best , every American killed will flip supporters to opposers.

The United States is pretty fucked up right now, corruption division etc. once Americans start dieing people tend to put aside there differences.

I think every major war the US has fought in since WW2 ended because American people get fed up with there brothers and sisters dying for nothing.

I think Vietnam is the best example. The USA sacrificed 40,000 American lives to end up with no gains and a full retreat, accomplishing nothing except a lot of families growing up without there fathers , sons and brothers.

[OP] theindependentonline | a day ago

Leavitt is one of the smoothest operators in the Trump administration. But today, she was flustered from the start — and it only got worse when she opened for questions.

The moment when the mask really slipped during the Leavitt briefing, however, was when a question came from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about the six slain US service members in the Middle East.

“There is not — we've never had a Secretary of Defense who cares more when tragic things happen,” Leavitt snapped. “It's front page news. I get it. The press only wants to make the president look bad…” As there was murmuring in the room, she continued: “Listen to me — especially you!... You and your network know that you take every single thing this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad. That is an objective fact!”

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. - 26th President of the United States

Praetor66 | a day ago

Sometimes, when I'm feeling down, I imagine Teddy Roosevelt being in the same room with Trump for any length of time. Listening to him talk and bullshit and insult and speak in an unintelligible manner.

I know TR was not perfect. Yes, he was a war hawk. And, certainly, a product of his era.

But I smile thinking about how much TR would loathe him, and probably give him a big punch in the face.

RogerBauman | a day ago

I think that Trump might be the exact sort of person who would tempt Teddy to resort to the big stick. There are some people you just can't speak softly to otherwise they think you are weak.

No doubt Teddy knew Trump’s type. He was alive in the time of Robber Barons who were born rich and think they can boss the whole world around. They always tried to cozy up to politicians then and now. He wouldn’t stomach Trump’s dumb ideas.

I think LBJ would have had fun dominating Trump. He loved to lean in and loom over people when negotiating, and there are rumors he would drag men into the men’s room during negotiations so he could take a piss while talking to them and “accidentally” flash his enormous penis to let the other guy know who was the alpha. I believe he even nicknamed his dick “Jumbo.”

Leavitt is such a dork.

First and foremost, the President is an employee of the American people.
The press functions similarly to our external auditor; they check up on what our employees are getting up to.

We’ve seen what happens when auditing and follow-up fail. You get shenanigans like the 2008 Financial Crisis, where the creditworthiness of the underlying mortgages in structured products went largely unverified. You get scandals like Enron and WorldCom, where fabricated or misrepresented revenue made it into public filings.

No auditing + No fact checking + No verification = Fantasies

Given the fact that, yet again, the American people are being asked to be on the hook for hundreds of billions (hopefully not trillions) in spending and losses, the press should be verifying all the claims the administration is making.

Leavitt knows this. Given that her job is to hide things from the auditors so the bosses don't find out, it's not surprising she's so upset.

HoodieGalore | a day ago

I honestly think any "smoothness" simply comes from her ability to swallow anything Trump tells her. She's not a good public speaker, she always seems overly defensive in a really juvenile, unprofessional way. I've never thought anything about her was polished or appropriate for the position.

bad for the baby. Terrible mother. The fear mixed with the lies are going to tear that developing life apart in there. All that cortisol, all that adrenaline, is going to wreak havoc on a developing body. What a shameful act by an alleged mother. Oh and her husband is elderly, so it's every elementary school child's dream to bury their father, right?
