Sometimes I just make these horrible stories comical in my Facebook posts, because I know my Trump supporting brother reads them but never comments. Might be like, what the heck is that about?! That is why I am still on Facebook.
Reply to them that he is the bottom scum of hack so called journalists that for some reason Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth decided to share war plans and CIA operative identity with on a unsecured platform, known to be hacked by Russia, to avoid record keeping laws.
I texted my mom yesterday (terminal cable watcher) a few hours after the story broke and she had said CNN had already ran a piece on it; heard it in the radio in the lyft this morning; and coworkers are talking about it. This went mainstream immediately.
is anyone else wondering why the actor Jeff Goldberg is on the group Signal chat?? do they really think he is the scientist he played in Jurassic Park? LOL--i know its a different person but every time I read the name, i flash on the actor...
"he's the guy that lied"
"oh, like hegseth said! about the russia hoax?"
"no, that was true."
"oh. so what?"
"about iraq and WMDs. helped get half a million people killed. really awful."
"so he must have had his career end after that"
"no, he got a promotion"
“Serious” - as in they’re debating whether they should BLINDLY support Trump and everything he and his minions do regardless of how atrocious, or just BIGLY support Trump and everything he and his minions do regardless of how atrocious? 😉
Anything that has them questioning Tang is practically heresy in that group. I think they are kinda surprised that Waltz got a pass - they thought that was pretty clear stupidity.
I don't know, it seems like they're already converging on Walz being a RINO, a traitor and all that jazz. Nevermind the entire executive apparatus not complying with their recording obligations?
Thankfully, I've never witnessed it. (I'm torn between morbid curiosity and "don't tell me" about my Alabama cousins-in-law, but I basically only hear from them once every several years, so I likely wouldn't see lightning strike...)
It's exactly like that moment in Don't Worry Darling where the girl started to realize something was up, so the incel simulation police abduct her and bring her back later... "all fixed"
Yah, I've been watching for the spin to "Biden probably..." or "MSM is lying", but a ton of those guys are still ranting over the *confirmed* use of Signal by the brass. They will definitely forget by next week, but they *really* want Tang to offer up Waltz (at a minimum).
"you know what the watergate scandal was right, imagine the reporters assigned to watergate found evidence of a slush fund and president nixon's corruption, then turned it in to nixon because it would be rude and inappropriate to just tell the public about stuff like that. that's jeffrey goldberg"
I briefly thought it was the wrestler and the sad part was that it sounded within the realm of possibilities to me for this admin that Goldberg would be shotgunning beers on a gov group text about bombing Yemen
Can't talk politics with people with normal lives without sounding to them like a combination of Charlie from It's Sunny and the most annoying regular regularly sports talk radio caller
I'm sure I don't understand them. Capital letters interspersed without rhyme or reason and perhaps some ranting about the radical left (by which is meant anyone who isn't on board with the Trump regime)
How I would dance in the streets if this was enough to get at least a few of them fired. It should be; in any other administration and time heads would roll!
I am back to sadly report that are backtracking 😔 now saying this was clearly 5D chess / fake actor / espionage ploy to bring their strong leaders under attack. Fox got their talking points together quickly, apparently.
I dunno. I’m cynically optimistic that the same rural white people who cried “paid actors” will be singing a different tune if they have to choose between groceries and meds
Kinda funny how Fox News is right on top of scoops, unless it's bad news about Trump and then they wait several hours to post a bland headline, if at all.
They are all still missing the point that it was being discussed on an unsecured commercial platform outside the secure channels. All of them need to go.

I do not have to say anything, just post the article
Easy.
Their main qualification is loyalty, not competence.
once there was a little boy who dreamed of being a guard at an IDF prison
And after ignoring it for many hours, it's finally on Fox News mainpage
