$ 1 million meals really scream “man of the people” 🙄

Then they had another group chat congratulating themselves on how they’re playing all the folks who contributed.

How much do tax payers spend to get Trump & his entourage to MAL every weekend?

Pathetic

i'm a grateful and new subscriber and also think it's very important to describe Signal as an app specifically designed to delete communications. yes it is an "encrypted group chat" but by design it is for disappearing texts. a vital service in society but remarkably bad and corrupt in gov't usage

How can anyone consider a secretive, one million dollar a plate dinner with the president to be anything other than corrupt and unethical if not outright bribery.

The Republican Party is a corrupt and criminal organization. 🤔

Is Fox reporting about this incident today?

shawnhokanson.bsky.social•2 days ago

why were Cabinet members using Signal, which is not approved by the US government for sharing sensitive information? Who added the Journalist?

Trump when asked about the issue said "I'm not a fan of the Atlantic". To which I respond, No accountability and no surprise.

itsmetmc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Clearly, they ignored innumerable security protocols. They should have been in a SCIF where cell phones aren't allowed, for starters. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/what-scif-who-uses-it-n743991

What? Regular cabinet members didn't have military security clearance? Really?

The entire administration needs to be investigated and prosecuted for their crimes.

dangandblast.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because they can set it to delete things rather than follow the law, which they see as an annoyance that doesn't apply to them.

shawnhokanson.bsky.social•2 days ago

Brian Hughes, of the NSC confirmed the message chain was authentic. The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security.” WTF?

mel-33.bsky.social•2 days ago

I didn’t realize emojis were deep and thoughtful.

dangandblast.bsky.social•1 day ago

I like how it's both a smear, lies, fake news, and also confirmed as authentic and a good thing.

dangandblast.bsky.social•1 day ago

Actually, it's a great example of the concept of: "nobody would do anything awful like that, well *I* didn't do it, well of course I did it, everyone would do it, it's a good thing to do!"

laplkp.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s a “demonstration” alright. It’s a demonstration of C to D players incompetence, sloppiness and disregard of the safety of our military personnel. They should all resign.

$1million/head? No meal is worth that much, & could never be. Talk about money-grubbing!

partsunknown242.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m curious why the reporter was added to a group chat with government officials in the first place

dropthet.bsky.social•2 days ago

They were probably drunk. This is the guy that added the editor to the chain

itsmetmc.bsky.social•1 day ago

It happened because they ignored innumerable security protocols & put their massive disregard for US laws and their incompetence on display. RTFA.

The date was Saturday, March 15. President Donald Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago estate attending a “candlelight” dinner that wasn’t on his public calendar. On the lawn outside, luxury cars were on display: a Rolls Royce was parked near a Bugatti and Lamborghini.

wired.com•2 days ago

Earlier that day, the United States had bombed Yemen, targeting Houthi leadership. At least 53 people, including children, were killed.

wired.com•2 days ago

The candlelight dinner attendees included national security advisor Michael Waltz and the White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, according to a source familiar with the events.

wired.com•2 days ago

Details of the Signal group fiasco emerged because in the days prior to the bombing, a handle with the name Michael Waltz accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic's EIC, to a chat titled “Houthi PC small group.” (He likely meant to add trade rep Jamieson Greer, who has the same initials.)

wired.com•2 days ago

In a bombshell story, The Atlantic reported on the off-books discussion of plans to bomb Yemen. Waltz, Rubio, and Miller all appeared to be in the Signal group and, according to message exchanges reported by Goldberg, were actively engaging with the chat ahead of the bombing. https://wrd.cm/4j3y1LT

Everyone in that chat should be fired.

The Department of Defense specifically bars Signal as a means of transmitting non-public DoD information unless previously authorized. Under the Espionage Act, unauthorized disclosure of national defense information can be punished by a fine or imprisonment.

First we bomb, then we feast... we are kings... oh wait wut, wut did you do? Who is Goldberg?

moondancegiving.bsky.social•2 days ago

Shouldn't his phone be equipped with a breathalyzer?

sarahb1111.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's like a smash and grab on steroids with the grift and a little bombing on the side.

They probably could have jumped on the call for free. Suckers.

It’s amazing he gets away with this shit …. Anyone else would have been impeached by now … you charge millionaires to have diner with you and you have to pay them back somehow ?? This is absolutely insane !

popsieboy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would hope that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and the leadership team are planning to be ALL OVER the networks tomorrow discussing the implications of violating security protocols. I don’t see them tonight - they better be preparing for the morning news cycle if they want any future support.

ejcon.bsky.social•2 days ago

What secrets? Just use the bathroom and you can read them all!!

I don’t want to be an American Idiot
That follows the corrupt Trump government

Information shouldn’t be in Signal chats
Least of all leaked to enemy combatants
