Remember Donald Trump’s first term as president. Every phone call he made was leaked to the media. Now that Trump is more ensconced than ever, coming into his second term with a solid majority behind him — along with the scars of Demofiend legal and personal attack — the second Trump White House is more leak-free. Trump also learned how to take proper precautions against snitching and leaking.
The scene and quote from the movie “Poltergeist II” featured here I’m using as a segue to underscore how the Swamp bugs come out of the woodwork whenever they see a chance to twist, turn, lie, cheat, steal, and snith. In this case, the bugs came out — “They’re baaaaaaaaack” — with Pete Hegseth, secretary of Defense, in their poltersight.
Last last week, news surfaced of Hegseth’s firing several “snitchy” aides. It turns out that these “disappeared” employees still have ways of getting to the media to manufacture horror stories that have no horror in them.
In this case, the polterbugs screamed that Hegseth was still using phone apps to talk wartime strategy and other secret topics. This is interesting because CISA, the government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, recommends using secure phone apps like Signal to talk about sensitive and classified information.
I found this even more interesting when I heard James Clyburn (D.-South Carolina) in an interview on MSNBC. He complained that the media simply aren’t getting the Demofiends’ message out on the airways and in newsprint. He found this unacceptable because “Democrats don’t have the stomach to lie.”
Yeah, right. Maybe they don’t lie from their stomachs, but their lies seem to find a way to come out of the walls much like poltergeist.
