Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, said he was mistakenly added to a group chat with U.S. national security leaders about imminent military strikes on Yemen.

This is what happens when you put a bunch of novices together in responsible positions without anyone of actual expertise in the room, or an adult for that matter. They should all resign in shame. They are fortunate this is not ancient Japan & we don't enforce Seppuku. Who would be their seconds?
What else have they used Signal for? They are obviously trying to avoid preserving communications per the presidential records act. Avoiding FOIA requirements.
They’re f’ing morons. Every one of them. Waltz, wiles, gabbard, Ratcliffe, miller, Vance, Rubio, and especially hegseth. Just f’ing children. Their “deep” policy considerations are about as insightful as conversations overheard at a Walmart.
Im wondering if the Sec of Defence meant to include someone else and mixed up the names. Perhaps who was meant to be included, is a story as well. But from a google its common name so as usual who knows these days.
Signal chains disappear. So not only were classified military plans exposed, these “plans” have no paper trail. Hegseth and the others on the chain will discredit Goldberg and spin this. It’s pathetic and clownish.
he heard the atlantic mentioned, and his brain was just like "oh yeah, the atlantic. i don't like them. i should say that." if you watch the video, his heart's not even in it; it's like he's reciting a line written by his past self. he's in serious cognitive decline
That “war plans” were revealed is the least of my concerns regarding this whole debacle—it’s the relationship with our allies that troubles me most. I’m wondering how we are to convince Europeans that this view of them is not shared by most Americans.
So these MAGA asses go on about deep state, private servers, etc but use a chat app for military convos which is illegal & supposed to be documented. What else are they doing off the record and hiding? They will probably blame some poor low level person (or Biden), but these 🤡 should all be fired.
This happens when the nation is immersed in lies that lead to voters electing someone like Trump. What's amazing is that Goldberg or anyone else was shocked.
Ppl just don't want to believe that propaganda works, that it affects elections & thus controls our gov.
Why the fuck are they discussing war plans on Signal is the bigger question you should be asking. This is a monumental fuckup. DO NOT let them gaslight you. Demand answers.
Has someone managed to hack the Twitter account of the "National Security Advisor" yet? Given the spectacular level of incompetence needed to invite an unintended participant into an illegal, non-SCIF chat about war efforts, I recommend trying "12345" or "pa$$w0rd" to start.
Why is no media headline pointing out the actual issue i.e. D.O.D officials were and may still be using fucking signal messenger on their personal phones as a military communication tool!? The Whitehouse have separate tech for top secret info. These same newspapers went witch-hunt mode on Hilary.
Talking as somebody from a freeloading country who lost service personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq, two conflicts that cost lives and billions of £, which could have paid for schools, hospitals …
I am pretty FUCKING ANGRY
Hegseths response is even more troubling. Instead of telling us that an investigation would take place, he bashes Goldberg like an inebriated teenager.
Dementia Don also doesn't know who signed the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
Seems he doesn't know a lot of things.
- Either he has no idea and is ignorant of what his administration is doing,
- he has no idea or memory of his own actions,
- or he is outright lying.
He's lying and has been compromised. The Russians want him to pay the tab for getting him elected. He has literally sold this country out to our adversaries.
His attempt to play ignorant in this shit show speaks volumes of his depravity. The fucker knew this happened. He's so stupid that he will refuse to use SCIFS because it involves discipline. He's uses unsecured lines for years
Goldberg is a true and loyal American. Lucky for us that he showed us what we needed to see. He likely has saved lives from future carelessness by these morons, which includes the 'vice president ' and others whose job it is to protect our country. They are not competent enough, they need to go.
Goldberg doing this one right thing does not erase the fact that he lied to the American public to garner support for the Iraq invasion & was a proud volunteer concentration camp for the Israeli apartheid government.
He is what he is: an opportunist. Don't give him too much credit
He did his job, a job that he has repeatedly chosen not to do when it reflects badly on Israel. We can acknowledge the importance without making a hero out of him.
There's a reason why these people had his number in their phones, they were just stupid enough to add him to a non-Israel related chat
Maybe SpaceX employees should leak top secret info on Musk's rockets, and we'll see if The White House has the SAME level of "I don't care. It's not a big deal" attitude as the do about Top-Secret attack informationbeing leaked!!!
Mistakenly? It’s called Buffoonism, mind numbing stupidity, appalling ignorance, lack of judgment, lack of knowledge of the job you are put into and totally disqualified to do.
So Jeffrey Goldberg says he was mistakenly added? Is this him trying to walk back a story found out by someone else? Defending his god of a wannabe dictator? Because I’ve no reason to believe Goldberg over any other Trump White House misadministration official as they try to squirm out of this mess!
I know he was in the IDF, where he spent time as a prison guard. And though a Zionist, he has been known to criticise Israel.
Now the Editor in chief of the Atlantic, a responsible position to hold. He’s one of at least 18 people who had access to top secret information about US forces in Yemen.
Mr. Goldberg should notify the agencies involved in this betrayal, in writing, in the Atlantic, that he will be publishing the entire thread in the Atlantic next Tuesday. Unless of course they deem it "classified" and object!
I can't get over the fact that Stephen Miller (pictured here on the right, looking like an unattractive Lurch from the Addams Family) found a Cruella to marry him. Sorry - that's just unfathomable.
Secretary of DEFENSE used signal an app to identify targets and military operations happening in real time! This is a massive security breach with widespread impact upon not only our military but the world!
We should be thankful for their incompetent OPSEC, it’s the clearest chance to see just how dumb and evil all of them are. They’ll reveal all their own crimes in time. These are the kinds of mistakes people who believe themselves superior make - all hubris and ego driven.
No, in that case they would have been trying to get Jeff Goldblum to write a program that takes over all of Yemen's computers, like his character did In Independence Day.
I could imagine them confusing actor and character and doing just that! Too unrealistic you say? Remember Hannibal Lecter? Was that a running joke or someone who didn't know the difference between actor and character.
When you knowingly and intentionally put incompetent people in important positions and they screw up, is it their fault or your fault???? Both. Impeach Trump.
If any other group of people were involved in this level of national security fuckup they would be in chains right now. Not only do they have no brains they also have no honor or accountability.
There should be an emergency proceeding right now to remove these incompetent fools from their office.
Since the govt confirmed it, why not just say “He was added,” rather than that he said he was added? Please use truthful language in service of the truth.
If my team effed up like this, me saying I didn’t know would not fly. However the ineptitude of this administration starts at the top and flows downhill like a river of 💩. And let’s remember when Clinton was caught doing the same thing it was investigated and calls for her jailing were made.
Remember that Lisa Franchetti was fired (by Hegseth) for being a woman so I think we can fire Petey for failing to follow the his own departments policies and putting American lives at risk.
I just want someone to make sure the @secdef.govpeeps.us includes this in his bulleted task list to DOGE as one of the 5 tasks he “completed” this week… #FailedAdministration @fedworkersunited.bsky.social
Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin.
Could have been three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in,
My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die,
Tell me, me oh me oh my,
Wasn't that a party?
There’re still a bunch of brainwashed twat waffles screaming “BUT HER EMAILS”! Trump’s longstanding policy of “nothing is my fault, ever, and if it is, then it’s really your fault”. The one truth Trump has ever said- he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue & not lose a single follower.
And all the other people that shouldn’t have been on the text and the fact there was a text at all. Who the hell is Pete Hegseth? Why did senators ok this idiot. We are all unsafe!
The "inside story" is surely nothing more than complete and utter incompetence by a trump government made up of self obsessed rich guys who are political imbeciles.
I ask myself why it wouldn't be a great deal whereas it actually is, unless it was an intentional act to see the reaction of others causing chaos while the real thing happens behind the scene with all the confusion going on.
That they care about is hate and somehow making money without the hard work. Many of the yachts in Florida own by these thugs who fleeced the tax payers.
Here’s Laura Ingraham’s cherry 🍒 picking take. “Jeffrey Goldberg is a is a long-time journalistic adversary of President Trump's and has certainly drawn the ire of conservatives for his reporting about the various hoaxes that Hegseth was referencing there.” From MediaMatters
Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.
All every country including our enemies need to do is create accounts using names that sound like the dream team, and they too can get added in on chats.
Phase four: "We meant for it to happen. We knew that Goldberg was a spy, so we were feeding him misinformation. The defensive positions of the enemy at the time of our attack prove that Goldberg passed the information to them. Goldberg has been proven to be a traitor and will be prosecuted."
It was a discussion that should only have taken place in a SCIF, not on an unsecured messaging platform, with messages sent/viewed on ordinary cell phones. Who else was mistakenly added to the group chat? What could possibly go wrong?
Not to mention the Pegasus spyware from the Israel counterintelligence could be on any of their cell phones. And it's not just used by the Israelis either. They've sold it to anybody who has money.
Hilary would have been HANGED for this offense. These fascist clowns have ONE mode: destroy the country and blame Democrats for everything. The nightmare continues.
The fact that a journalist was accidentally added to a White House chat group containing top-secret military information is a serious security incident that raises many questions about how the government manages and protects sensitive information.
Most of the idiots that listen to and sadly believe Faux News will either say nothing was in the texts or the text didn’t exist. These messages should be shared for everyone to see even if DD “Donald Dumb” threatens to go after them if they do expose the low level of competency in his administration
Hegseth is weak. Lets be honest. Pete Hegseth is a drunk, a bafoon, and a rasict with impulse control and anger issues. But worst of all, he is all of these things. because he is weak. He's the sick elk that gets culled by wolves, not a wolf.
A 'group chat' for a war plans is absolutely crazy.
If you think Pete Hegseth and the Trump Team share too much highly classified information with the Atlantic JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT HE SHARES WITH PUTIN.
Using Signal is wildly irresponsible,
Making high security totally impossible.
Trump’s team did the unfathomable,
“Highest level of fuckup imaginable.”
Reporters: Pres. Trump, did you shit your pants?
Trump: No.
Rwporters: But your pants are soiled.
Trump: Fake news!
Reporters: Now you are peeing your pants.
Trump: No, I'm not.
Reporters: But the wet spot in front is getting bigger.
Trump: It's not me! It's Biden and liberals & all their wokeness!

Vance deserves more shame, I don’t want him to get off too easy. (But what do I know, I’m not a couch)

Don't drink and text when you are the Secretary of Defense or you will be execute !!!

Yes.
That's precisely the kind of incompetent behavior I expect from Trump AND everyone he employs.
Phase one: "It never happened."
Phase two: "It happened, but it didn't matter--the attack was successful."
Phase three: "It happened because we were in last-minute preparations and didn't have time to get everyone to a SCIF."

Round them up and toss them in the jug, all of them.

So Trump basically is like "OK, yeah, so I peed my pants, but that's the only time in two months, and it's not that bad!" 😄
