I think this is the FIRST time I've seen someone on a news channel say "That's a lie" instead of some other dodge like "uttered falsehoods" (geeze!). I want to see it MORE!
THANK YOU! That's part of the problem, isn't it? Falsehoods, misstatements, misrepresentations... Why so afraid to call them what they are - LIES! And the people who tell them are LIARS! It isn't that difficult...
If this had happened under a Democratic administration, the Republican propaganda machine would be working night and day to print bumper stickers and T-shirts with a snappy slogan bemoaning the moment forever.
Thanks, Goldberg, for caring enough about the country to not let it go any further. It's ridiculous that we have to worry about a drunk texting out classified information in a group text
Is this going down like Clinton's attempts to retroactively parse the definition of "sexual relations"? Is Heggie's defense going to be that "they weren't technically "texts""? Or will we see an executive order naming Signal as a "totes Bigly secure comm app"? Prepping my SignalBros bingo card.
This is about Hegseth and the Trump administration's violation not only of security protocols, actually jeopardizing (not theoretically could -Witcoff was in Moscow and had just met with Putin, so the Russians knew the op from the beginning) our service members.
America’s National/International Security Threatened By Complete Incompetence Of Hegseth And Trump’s Adm. —Trump/Adm. ONLY CONCERN—DENYING THEIR CATASTROPHIC FAILURE !!
Americans Demand Hegseth And Accomplices Be FIRED And IMMEDIATELY REPLACED !!
Goldberg has more integrity in one cell of his body than the entire Tramp administration. His choice to withhold the details is all the evidence anyone needs.
49.6% of the people who voted. Less than half of the US population voted in the election. Less than 1/4 of American citizens voted for this. And I’d bet that even some of the folks that voted for mangolini didn’t anticipate this malevolent incompetence, although they should have.
Mr. Goldberg is brave. He needs bodyguards, because you know they're going to be after him. He needs protection at all costs. I'm worried about his safety.
Hopefully he will after they carry him back to his room & he sleeps it off. At least he’s in Hawaii; those gorgeous island ladies better be careful ….. nothing is worse than a drunk sexual predator!
Lots of attention on the texting of the war plans. NO attention on why we're attacking. Do we just give the military carte blanche to attack whoever--or do we need a reason?
That was four years ago, in a different context. Elon was comparing WhatsApp & Signal not Signal & SCIF. There's a big difference between people discussing plans for a protest and national security officials discussing attack plans against a foreign adversary.
Sure, but again, Signal provides a big boost in security over plain texts (as long as your phone hasn't been compromised). That's still a far cry from being secure enough for discussing top secret military plans.
Musk's msg was, I think, in response to Meta's plans for monetizing WhatsApp. Providing targeted advertising on WhatsApp likely would have required compromising its security in some way. Under the covers, Signal and WhatsApp use the same over-the-wire encryption. Diff is before the message goes out
Thing is, Hegseth won’t even be reprimanded. Trump could’ve chosen any number of career military personnel to lead the DOD, but instead he chose a Fox News host with a penchant for the nightlife. No matter how unqualified they are, none of this administration’s personnel are going anywhere.
using an encrypted app show criminal intent to do an end run around proper channels.
doing government business on these apps is criminal.
every phone should be seized.
can't the nsa track who has these apps downloaded? let's see the list of criminals
Imagine that DUI LIES. They all knew this was ILLEGAL. Impeach vance fire the rest. Now what does this say about a supposed president that doesn’t know what his people are doing. Impeach trump
When you're this stupid you should at least say so to prevent someone from hiring you.
Oh wait. You did tell us. If only we could have read your tattoos.
If Pete wants to double down, Goldberg should release the text. Force his hand and show the world Pete is not qualified...and for gosh sakes give Pete a breathalyzer!
It’s interesting that Trump said he was unaware of the scandal which if true (please I know who we're dealing with here) means the VP, Secretaries of Defense and State were afraid to tell him.
This is what happens when you recruit a bunch of incompetent yes men to high positions of govt. Just imagine if they'd included "someone else" less patriotic on that chat ...
I believe the administration is trying to get cute about "war plans". In their twisting defense, they are saying he wasn't given "war plans", but murmur under their breath that he was given "attack plans'. There's no 'war' here, ergo Mr. Goldberg didn't get 'war plans'....mind of a MAGAt
Right? Senator Warner warned the ones who were in front of the Intelligence Committee today that their answers will be judged against the full transcript of the chat. It was obvious the “I can’t remember” answers were as close to perjury as we have seen in a long time.
I dunno, at this point cant he take them at their word? (Hahahahahaha no but you know what I mean) They've literally just said to Congress there was no classified info contained therein.
It’s almost impossible to think about these assholes without underestimating just how stupid, lazy and incompetent they are. When they say something, it’s guaranteed they’ve given no thought whatsoever to what might happen next or what the response might be. Literally toddler-brain “thinking”
Trump sends his secret attack plans to our enemies through his asshats, hegseth gabbard.
Trump put them in charge.
It's supposed to be confidential, and trump deliberately let them share the plans because Trump wants to endanger American military personnel!!!!!!!
It’s really amazing how the GOP has adopted straight-up denial their default move and how shameless they are about it. But, of course, up to this point it has worked. And as long as the right-wing media continues to not talk about it, those that need to hear it the most will not.
Well the digital evidence is there and witnesses. Don’t let these disastrous criminals lie their way out of this one. This is grounds for removal for everyone who participated and knew. Hegseth FIRST and right away, preferably before he drunk texts the nuclear codes to Russian state television.
Well, be fair though, when you are in a drunken rage being truthful is just kind of low down on your mentally accessible priorities list. I think we should be taking the fact Hegeseth didn't upchuck down his shirt front while yelling at those reporters as a big win for him.
They probably included Goldberg on purpose, in case there were operational failures, and then they could blame "the evil goldberg" for leaking sensitive information.
Right now the criminal org known as the WhiteHouse is trying to figure out how to make this Goldberg’s fault and how they can charge him with espionage. Not joking.
I cannot wait for the Drunk Entitled Infant hire, hegseth, to repeat his lie under oath in front of various committees and enquiries… He must be held to account for this. 👀🍿🥤
Oh ffs, if their mouths are moving then they're lying. That's it, nothing else to it. The problem we all now have as a collective is whether or not we are willing to take the the next steps necessary to save our democracy OR we just continue to dismiss their blatant lies and corruption?
And they have the fucking nerve to say someone can't be qualified because they are "DEI" or what the fuck ever when you have this UNQUALIFIED FUCK leaking NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION!!! WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE??? @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov
Well they are running it into the ground, hegseth's major fuck up is just the first domino to fall. Authoritarian regimes almost always implode from within and this is our first SIGNAL😉 of that happening.
Off topic kinda but wasn’t Goldberg in the IDF for a while? How do we know he isn’t Mossad and this is all some psyop? We really don’t know anything. Our “press” is like Pravda now.
Not disputing that. All I’m saying is that it might not be an accidental leak. Goldberg’s presence in that chain wasn’t a red flag to anyone? They can’t all be that moronic. Hegseth yes. But not tulsi or Rubio. Just doesn’t make sense.
It’s the Trump MO: when confronted with your failures just lie, blame others and feign ignorance. And it works for him and his administration every time. We will hear about Hillary’s emails for eternity but this will be swept under the rug like all the other crimes against the state
These imbeciles think that if we open fire on a hostile group without even telling anyone about our plans, Europe will comply with a demand to pay us money for doing something they didn't ask us to do?
Most sovereign states aren't into being shaken down by extortionists.
I am sure the line Hegseth is trying to walk is that the actual operational document was not on the chat. Just a minute by minute description of it. So that’s okay. Ridiculous.
The only person who acted with integrity and did the right thing in this situation is the journalist/editor! Jeffrey Goldberg is the only person who protected Americans. Demand Congress take action because trump won't. #FiveCalls
Are they really that stupid that they thought we wouldn't find out. I guess they must be. Anybody feel a little unsafe? Because Trump is an idiot we don't have many friends left in the world.
Jeffrey Goldberg has no reason to be making this up or "overblowing" his story. This Regime is known for retribution. Goldberg has EVERY reason to stand up for his country and try to keep it safe. HE'S a HERO right now for us.
Typical, their defence at the hearing. Typical avoidant response to not directly lie under oath. They could say (presumably smart people with memory) - clearly answer with "no" when asked if specific weapons were mentioned. But they answer with "I do not recall". So obvious it's painful.
What do you mean not making sense? You accuse that he's lying, but you only have words for that. Jeffrey Goldberg has his phone with the conversation as proof and if requested by authorities he will make it public. And it's now CONFIRMED TRUE by the White House. "I do not recall" is there defence
You aren’t reading my POST correctly. I posted Pete Hegseth was just a weekend Anchor on Faux (Fox) News where Anchors are famous for LYING to their viewers.
Pete Hegseth LIED about classified Intelligence NOT being discussed.
I never mentioned Jeffrey Goldberg who acted responsibly as an adult!
Jeffrey Goldberg is more responsible and comprehends the seriousness of the information that was being shared.
Goldberg didn’t publish it.
Goldberg knew it was real.
I feel admiration for Goldberg.
And he released it AFTER confirmation of act, so something could be done about the unsafe behavior, so something SHOULD be done about it.
INSTEAD of holding it, getting us into more trouble and writing a book.
I really hope they don’t charge him with something. You know how spiteful they are.
Who would accuse Goldberg?
Goldberg didn’t choose or ask to be on the communication. The head honcho Hedsseth, that Fox pendejo Trump put in charge, he is responsible and should resign among other who should resign or be fired as well.
I agree, but I can imagine they have Steven miller or Bondi searching the laws for anything. Or irs start looking into him or the Atlantic… I just don’t trust how spiteful they are.
As bad as the OPSEC failure is, and it is bad, the other issue is that they're trying to avoid federal record keeping requirements, as @joshtpm.bsky.social pointed out. The fact that nobody voiced concern over using Signal tells me they do this routinely.
So they could jack each other off, talking about how great their treasonous efforts are to each other.
Many people don’t evolve past a Jr. High School mentality.
Is Trump going to give Goldberg a security clearance or try and take a non existent one away today. He sure ain’t gonna hold a press conference to justify this dumb dumb.
Funny how it was only the integrity of an arm of the failing media that protected the mission and our troops against the incompetence of the Trump Ministration
Nothing do with Goldberg’s report that came out after the attack. As Goldberg said until the attack started he thought the chat wasn’t legit. It was pure luck they didn’t send to a bad actor.
But Steve Witcoff the special envoy for the Middle East who was on the thread was in IN MOSCOW and HAD JUST MET WITH PUTIN BEFORE THE SIGNAL CHAT. Ned Price says it's certain that the Russians had access to his phone, had hacked it, before the Signal chat.
And just like that a journalist uses the word “LIE”. Not “misleading”, not “untruth”, not “questionable” or any other synonym they are constantly using. A LIE. They are LIARS. Media needs to start using clear language.
Hegseth should be fired immediately. He thinks he’s in a drinking game. He’s not serious. He’s a big security risk to the country. Surely everyone can see this. What’s wrong with these clowns 🤡?

Oh, I was lying, let me read you my notes!!
Called him a liar!!!
Fuckin A!
In your face Hegseth.

But this won’t last a day in our news cycle.

Americans will be harmed by the absolute ineptitude of these fascist malevolent clowns.
On top of that their intent is NOT what Americans wants.
Nobody voted to destroy our country and suffer hardship.
Pass it on
May this regime's demise be swift and certain
They are destroying the country with less than 1/3 of the people's approval.

Cant be reversed, admit and fire the clowns instead of defending them. Dont go down in the same drainpipes.
Or DO SO 🤡
Oh wait. You did tell us. If only we could have read your tattoos.
People around the world need to know why we are not living piecefully any more, what a scum they regime is.
Drink Enabled Incompetent #Hegseth #DEI
They might still do it even if he doesn’t .
The pants will be down.
They can dish out any kool aid - it has worked for them so far.

War Plans, and he thinks about the war Plans against China that Musk was said to be receiving and he didn't.
War Plans, regarding the pending attack on the Houthis in Yemen.
Hide behind semantics, the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text.
Traitors!!!
He should tell the gov’t that he therefore plans to publish the materials in full w/in 24 hours unless they publicly admit he’s telling the truth.
Not a word of outrage from GOP politicians!! Just imagine for 1 second this happened in a Democratic administration!!
Fox news 24 hours s day…. Non stop chatter..
I know, it's a tired line, but Jesus Christ.

Tremendous kudos to Jeffrey Goldberg for being one of the few to openly call a MAGAt lie a MAGAt LIE.
Excuse 2: They weren't "war plans", they were "battle plans".
Excuse 3: Look, a squirrel!
"I agree with you, VP" said our Secretary of Defense, "the Europeans are freeloaders."

Wow.

they weren't hired for their competence
but for their loyalty
and they surely won't be fired for their incompetence
Open views ,
Nothing to hide.
Since the strikes were about to become public information,... why not publicly discuss plans and peace negotiations?
