Trump admin texted war plans

I used to think you and I aligned pretty well on our view of how things should be. You used to be able to see past the politics to see the bigger picture. I don't see that from you anymore. You have become a hard core apologist. Some things can't and shouldn't be defended. Appointing a henchman who has no limit on his power is not OK. Bullying long-time allies is not OK. Getting congressional lapdogs to file an article of impeachment against a judge who ruled against POTUS is not OK. Sharing national security information with reporters isn't OK.
Do you have a line in the sand? How about a third term? Will that move the needle for you?
Get ‘em Grayhair. Whiskey is going to give us his full evaluation on the new administration ninety days in. It ought to be a real doozy….
 
The goddam audacity to stand there and lie when there are screen grabs AND the NSC actually CONFIRMED THE INCIDENT is grounds for immediate dismissal.

F—k this guy and the horse he drunkenly rode in on.
Now you know why Trump fought for him. This is the swagger Trump loves. Never concede, and attack the messenger to discredit them.
 
I'd like to know what else they're using this platform for that they were trying to evade FOIA with
This is the very sad question. What else have these clowns, and other groups been jabbering about? How easy has it been for China, Russia, Iran, North Korea.... to observe these chats? They used their personal phones for God's sake.
 
Nothing will come of this. Easily the worst national security breach in living memory. A violation so bad all involved should not only be instantly fired but also be charged with breaking multiple federal laws. And Trump will quickly pivot to some insane stunt tomorrow for cover and this will be swept under the rug by Wednesday. This is disgusting.
 
TL;DR Summary:
The article by Jeffrey Goldberg recounts how he was mistakenly included in a private Signal group chat involving top Trump administration national security officials discussing imminent U.S. military strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. Goldberg initially suspected the messages were part of a hoax or disinformation campaign, as it seemed implausible that senior officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, and Vice President JD Vance, would use an unsecured messaging app for such sensitive discussions. However, as the conversation unfolded, it became clear that the chat was real, culminating in actual airstrikes two hours after Goldberg received the messages.

The group discussed strategy, the timing of the strikes, and concerns about the political and economic fallout, with Vance questioning the decision's alignment with Trump’s broader messaging. Some officials feared delaying the strikes would lead to leaks or Israel taking unilateral action. Ultimately, the strikes proceeded, confirming Goldberg’s worst suspicions about the administration's recklessness in handling classified military operations.

Potential OPSEC Violations:​

Unsecured Communication – Discussing classified or sensitive military operations on a consumer-grade messaging app (Signal) instead of secure government systems like SIPRNet or JWICS violates standard security protocols.

Unauthorized Disclosure – If Jeffrey Goldberg (a journalist) was mistakenly included in the chat, this means unauthorized personnel had access to sensitive discussions about timing, targets, and strategy—a major breach.

Risk of Interception – Even though Signal offers end-to-end encryption, using it for top-level military planning increases the risk of foreign adversaries (China, Russia, Iran, etc.) intercepting or exploiting the information.

Compromising Strategic Surprise – The premature exposure of an operation could allow enemy forces (Houthis) to prepare defenses, relocate assets, or retaliate.

Greenland prolly getting invaded tomorrow. Anybody else get that text?
 
Did Waltz commit sepaku by adding the journalist on purpose in order to bring attention to this occurring? Maybe he will out them all. Seems like the sanest of the bunch.
