"You hired me for analysis Pete, we have to consider the object materialistic gains and losses of the aforementioned action. Does it go far enough? Should we be taking unilateral action? Should we do shots first?"
Then start a drinking game and see if I can give him alcohol poisoning.
My comment is sarcasm. At least 3 people on the call have lied and said nothing classified was discussed. If that's the case, then there shouldn't be a problem releasing everything the reporter was privy to right? The only person interested in our national security is sadly the REPORTER.
Liar liar pants are on fire they went on for DAYS, 18 people in the thread too! Fire everyone except the reporter. Sadly, 50+ civilians died from that 💥 you all spoke about, like it was a video game. Isn't trump supposed to be aware & involved in these decisions/ plans? You're all dirty & unfit pos
Is that the same Trump, the same extremely stable genius who has widely varied businesses, all of which are ALWAYS under his complete and total control? THAT Trump?
Preemptive plans to attack another country is, by definition, classified and extremely sensitive information. To claim otherwise is a lie and an attempt to downplay this severe fuck up
I think they have all the DAYS of prints from the reporter and are giving these 18 screw ups a chance to come clean before they throw all the proofs in their faces and fire them all (they deserve prison). My Q, by rules, pres has to be involved in deciding 💥time, location, target? not the 'unfit'?
The reporter said it was too technical, too detailed, and just too specific to publish. Thank goodness he's a legit man who knows what's wrong and what's not for publishing. I'm hoping that because he has all the messages, we can 86 all 18 (wonder who they are) maybe musk too?!
"Sure, we might have discusses destabilizing Yemen, but that was locker room talk. I mean, who here hasn't talked about destabilizing the Middle East after having a couple of cold ones, am I right?"
The best part is they have the text and they can prove they are lying but they have to lie, deny, until the very end then don't speak. This is the oath they took with Trump. The threat to them and their family is too great. This is the formula Trump and Putin are making them use. Cults use this.
"think about what wouldve happened to him if he did his job! poor baby!" 1. theyre gonna do that anyway for publishing anything at all 2. your job description being "cover despotic government that is cruel and violent" comes with risks
It was classified. It could have resulted in harm to our national security and military casualties. I don't know about you, but my vaunted American right to know isn't worth that.
imagine if bob woodward accidentally got invited to a secret watergate meeting and then he removed himself from the room and refused to publish the details out of respect for the privacy of those involved
I think the redactions were sensible considering he came into classified info he definitely wasn't supposed to have. The last thing any journalist wants to do is get nailed on national security laws being enforced asymmetrically.
And this DEFINITELY went through multiple lawyers first.
That guy isn't a journalist. He's just another stenographer for the US war machine. He has no desire to actually rock the boat beyond making Trump look slightly more incompetent than he already is.
I understand why'd you feel that way, and to some extent I do too. It doesn't make somebody a pussy though to not want to put innocent people's lives at risk though.
The cat is out of the bag that the US is gonna drop bombs on people 10 days ago. So, this is your opportunity to explain who these innocent people you're trying to protect are. Otherwise it looks like you think telling Yemen that bombs will be dropped 10 days ago might be a surprise to them.
Idk why he's even arguing here, this is not a both sides discussion. The last 20 years have essentially vaporized any attempt at presenting a humanizing look at third world people and it's frightening seeing US based diasporas reproducing white supremacy like this.
I think it was the correct move. There’s a nonzero chance he gets black bagged for it, but he made it very public as soon as he knew it was real. I don’t think there was more to be gained by staying.

Really, do you think I believe anything you say, you have lies so many times. I am surprised the whole DUMP administration don't have tree branches for noses.
Well, that’s a misleading screen grab. Their STARTING position was no classified material was discussed, but by the end of the 2.5 hour committee hearing, it was admitted that detailed war plans WERE discussed.
If I accidentally gave out the password to the bathroom I could lose my job at the state building…. Just saying this was really much less serious than that bathroom thing I mentioned. /s
This was a predictable move. When Trump was caught mishandling classified documents, he argued they were declassified and therefore okay to share. Obviously they were going to spin it so that the chat was never secret in the first place. It obviously was but who's going to punish them for lying?
I can believe nothing from any of these people. They have jeopardized our military, and CIA assets. They should be court martialed. Send to Leavenworth . Trump needs to go.
Comments
I may or may not have also replied to some of it. Just to see if they even noticed.
Then start a drinking game and see if I can give him alcohol poisoning.
The suggestion that Gabbard was speaking truthfully when she said “nothing classified” was shared is ludicrous.
I shouldn’t have to explain this was a “joke”
"No, those Eurofighter Tycoon blueprints definitely weren't real."
"We definitely didn't see T-90M, T-80BVM, and T-90S Russian Tank docs, nope"
"Those docs on the F-16 Fighting Falcon? Fake news"
of wrongdoing, russian contacts, anti- constitutional operations. etc., etc., etc.,
"Idk maybe we should bomb 🧨🧨🧨 Yemen lol jkjkjk"
Israel has state censorship of press, domestic & foreign present. Gov can ban press from publishing specific items or on subjects.
Goldberg seems to have adopted Israeli view that press is subservient to state.
& sat on this information..
If he would have gone public, USA would at the very minium have to delay and change plans, some innocents would have lived.
And this DEFINITELY went through multiple lawyers first.
I have a bit more context on the situation and have changed my opinion though.
My take was more on the ethical implications, in general, on reporting on something that will get people killed.
Even with that, I've changed my opinion given the context of the editor being a genocider.
the people bombing children? those ones?
> Soldiers and intelligence assets
Pick one
"Now JD Vance is complaining Europe didn't say pweeese"
PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THE RAM RANCH SONG AT WORK!!!
Well, that's the guy they need to fire.
But, also says it wasn’t classified. Sen Warner (VA), presses her to release all of the texts then if it’s not classified. She can’t do that though…
Hmmm….
She's our guy!
If she can't do it,
We know why!
Even freedom of speech is not a guarantee of freedom from consequences of our speech.
Ik it's part of progressive model of government & many Dems like progressive ideas.
I hear "stepping down" is borrowed from the way British government works.
