With every tweet Elon damages his bussinesses more.
He may be running amok like a bull in a china shop right now. But the world will never forget what he has done.
New Atlantic subscriber here, read the article before seeing the crisis blow up in other outlets. People like me are subscribing to lots of independent journalism in the wake of T 2.0. People like me are engaged and will not let this go. Pardon me while I contact my Senators and Rep.
And they’ll be correct, because a good 30-40% of the country lives in a false reality where their Dear Leader does no wrong, & liberals are to blame for everything
Until people realize that is how cults work, & that these people need to be forced back into reality, we will keep hitting repeat.
Why would it be 4D chess to leak war plans unless your goal was to tip our enemies off in advance? MAGA really are the stupidest motherfuckers, and this Babylon Bee shitrag doesn't even begin to comprehend satire. Imagine starting a conservative Onion knock-off that has to spin satire into reality.
Musk's AI generated posts are becoming tiresome. And the lack of empathy with real people whose lives are on the line with such massive breaches of security is disgusting
Democrats need to quickly figure out how to control the narrative. Even when faced with insurmountable evidence of Trump regime wrongdoing and lawbreaking—Democrats often tank on their rapid response and counter messaging. Let’s see how Schumer and Jeffries respond.
They will just merrily roll along until drunken incompetence leads to a terrorist attack that serves as their Reichstag Fire, then the real fascism can begin.
We give up far too easy. This is obviously willful and deliberate handling of extremely classified information that directly endangered our people on an unclassified system.
What are they gonna say, that they didn't know that planning a military operation was something that was classified?
And that’s why Chuck Schumer needs to step aside and let someone new take over and make this the front page story it needs to be every day for months, if not longer.
Quit asking Schumer to step aside. He ain't gonna step aside. Instead, organize thousands or tens of thousands of peaceful, like-minded people to occupy his personal spaces until he is FORCED to resign. That's how we get this done.
They are all sticking with the “it’s no big deal” talking point. Sickening when you consider how many years of investigation took place over Clinton’s private email server!
Given that staunchly conservative military and ex-military are chiming in about the utter egregiousness, Republicans got another think coming. See: NYT comment section under French’s most recent Op-Ed. They are PISSED. As they should be.
That's just a sad and pathetic response to something with such severe national security implications. Clearly Republicans have no creativity when it comes to "spin".
Democrats need to bring it up everywhere and all the time. They put US military personnel in jeopardy and will most likely do it again. An attack on U.S. service members could be how a war starts.
What’s funny about this is Elon has to rephrase what the BBee wrote and Trump couldn’t bother coming up with anything pithy. These really are incompetent fools in our government.
Also, aren’t they all wrong because we’re all fucking talking about it?
It will all blow over. Fox won't report at all or barely and no in a negative way. Trump gets away with much, much more than this. We need a new baseline and new way to communicate concerns that the mass of Americans actually have. I wish people cared about this, but sadly, they just don't/won't.
I had heard of the Atlantic before today but never read it. Since the Signal story broke I have noticed all kinds of people making fun of it or saying that people don't read it, is there more context to that? Like in general is it unpopular? For some reason I thought it was a British magazine.
No one in the persistent media is going to doggedly hound them on the questions, so they have something right there. The media will allow it to fall out of the news cycle like so many other obscenities.
I have to say, never in a million years could I have ever even imagined a person in US politics would speak like 7th grade bullies let alone post it on social media for the world to see and have it in black and white.
Sen. Hawley was on Fox this evening dismissing our classified national security matters being hashed out like this as “griping over who is included in a group text.” So yeah, that’s what they’re betting on. It’s a safe bet.
In the next 48 hours, they will be throwing shit everywhere trying to change the story. No one better fall for it. Stay focused bc they know this is a big fuck up.
IDK, I'd like to think there is enough bipartisan interest to hold a (closed) congressional hearing to get to the truth, including inviting Jeffrey Goldberg to testify.
Don’t let them. Demand answers, demand resignation. Be relentless. Tomorrow Cheeto Mussolini will do something wild (again) to try and distract you. But don’t let yourself be distracted!!!
January 6th happened. You elected him anyway. I bet there will be no consequences and by the end of next week we'll be fuming about some other awful thing.
I think all that’s left now of what America once was and the respect it used to have in the world will be the movies. The future is bleak and the damage being done is irreversible
The Dems are too feckless. The jet fuel tanker is out of circulation. Create a narrative of how we are less safe. This is a big link in a chain that should be hammered together and rattled loudly by the opposition. But it just doesn’t happen.
This one will be remembered. It is so simple to explain and understand, and so clearly a problem on multiple levels, and it is both funny and deadly serious.
The incompetence is what will bring them down. Simple clear obvious buffoonery.
Or maybe Trump has declassified the leaked classified material by "thinking about it"--just like he declassified the classified material in his Florida bathrooms by retroactively thinking about it.
Imagine being the president of what was supposedly the most powerful country on earth and on a breach of security you post a link to a ToothSotchel which makes light of it. Disgraceful
There is such an asymmetry. Democrats have to pay for every hiccup, while Republicans can just laugh off masdive fuck ups and outright criminal activity.
It’s not that Dems have to be careful and Rubs can just laugh it off. That’s what they do and no one holds them accountable. That can’t do that but the people have to hold them accountable. Remind them that they work for the people and the majority are sick of this. Let’s 🔥 some negative assets.
Pretty had to terrorize a car or a building. If you want terror, watch DOGE in action with long-term, loyal Government employees. The DOGE plan is terror.
People in the Pentagon will take it seriously. Family members of men and women serving in the military will take it seriously. Allies will see this breach as another reason not to share intelligence with us.
By talking about it, maybe they will Streisand effect it. The Democrats can't let this go. I will be using five calls to call all three of my useless GOP reps in FL to shame them (even though they can't be shamed).
It was briefly funny when it primarily mocked evangelicals, because the writers knew evangelical culture and how batshit it was. Then it entered its one joke phase...
They are banking on what they consider to be the fact that Democrats and the non-subservient media are (and I'm extremely sorry to use this word but I feel the shock value is necessary), "pussies".
The question is, what evidence is there that they're wrong in this assumption?
That "best place to hide a dead body" metaphorical line is weird coming from Elon. A guy who makes a product where dead bodies are literally routinely found.
Most of the people I know subscribe to Atlantic, and they are all well-informed and smart Anyway, it has been all over the regular news. But I doubt the MAGAs or the Bablylon Bees will care.
I give this story 24 maybe 48 hours before it disappears because the Orange Blob will say or do something crazy to make sure everyone forgets about this. Anyone want to take that bet?
I believe it will be our former allies who actually bring Trump down. America will continue to devolve in it's standing and influence in the world and the media of our former allies will broadcast the embarrassment we've become for the whole world to see. We can thank Maga for that.
Oh
For
Fuck’s
Sake.
These people are giving children an absolutely terrible reputation. The birth rate will plummet. I mean who wants to put up with this shit if they could just get a dog. Or a cat. Or a cobra.
It’s the NYT and WaPo, they won’t be covering this by Thursday in spite of pretending a private email server is the worst possible malfeasance possible by a public official throughout the entire year in 2016.
"When Republicans do it, it's a big joke and nothing burger. When Democrats do it (as if), it's a serious national security issue demanding the resignation of the entire Democrat party!"
Having Trump in power guarantees incompetent reckless chaos - because they do not obey the rules because they think they are ABOVE the rules. Every rule.
Shit like this is inevitable consequence of this vast arrogance.
This arrogance is not going to go away on its own.
They are hoping if they make it a joke then it will downplay how serious it is. Thank goodness that Journalist did the right thing and waited to expose the leak.
This is so not going to blow over the way that they think it is going to blow over sorry.. This is what SCIF’s are made for. Chats on signal are not secure
Wondering if there is a sort of Streisand Effect involving humor. Like if they are starting with a story from the source of "fake news you can trust" won't that encourage The Onion & Borowitz? And every late night comic around?
Democrats need to hold them to it. We need to yell about it everyday about how unsafe this is and what they did. If Comer the clown can hold hearings every day on made up Biden stuff then Democrats need to not let this go.

What are you two nincompoops doing?
Musk is a pompous idiot.
It hasn't really failed yet.

Liddle heart.
He is a big dick though.
Also, aren’t they all wrong because we’re all fucking talking about it?
ppl could’ve been killed.

*not a bad idea for everyone that's not Republicans lol
MSNBC now
CNN next
And history tells us things don’t stick to Trump
But this seems really quite huge
The incompetence is what will bring them down. Simple clear obvious buffoonery.
How to recognize a hoax
If Trump calls something a hoax, it is NEVER a hoax
If Trump claims something to be true, it IS a hoax
Seems to be a pattern.
Republicans drive up the deficit, get us into wars, cause recession, inflation, and unemployment.
Democrats get elected to fix everything.
And somehow, the disastrous Republicans get into office again.
our National Security!! PLEASE ….
1)They don't care?
2)They don't understand what is going on?
3)They are complicit?
4)All of the above.
.....that right wing crackpots cannot do humor
....and the Bee has NO self-awareness
it just assumes that their audience is immune to hypocrisy
The question is, what evidence is there that they're wrong in this assumption?

Somehow Chuck and him both are selling their books through all of this.
This is an incompetent, footloose Administration that cannot be trusted
The hatred of Europe & ignorance of both Europe & the Middle East is also not lost on them
A bunch of dangerous amateurs!
Shit like this is inevitable consequence of this vast arrogance.

Bravo 🤡 #Musk
