Either im seeing this same post every 25 posts, or it's time to retire this sentiment. It didn't happen, and there's better ways to register frustration with some authors.
I used to think so, too, but how did they pull this whole MAGA cult thing off with unwavering support at all levels.
I mean, he’s a greedy, perverted, narcissistic old man with a very low IQ but they still managed to convince enough people to elect him…twice. Even after he showed his hand. Wtf??
Honestly, I have no idea. It does not compute for me either. Most of my extended family are living paycheck to paycheck and all voted for him. Some are single issue voter, the “pro life” crowd. Someone with a Phd might be able to explain someday.
Fight the good fight, brother, and stay strong.
I have fans in my clan also, but they are slowly coming around. It’s hard to not make it personal when it hits so close to home. 🙏
He handled the situation like a true professional. Professionalism is something that doesn’t exist in the trump-musk administration, and never will. Sad.
Exactly. Goldberg didn't wait for more info, which he could have done. He acted far more responsibly than the Trump administration is doing. They're acting recklessly, deliberately and against the national interest and that of the people.
This blatant stealing of other people's jokes on Bluesky is out of control. It doesn't even make sense, either, considering how relatively small the community is here. Do these people really not think that we saw the same post from two days ago that they did? I promise you that we did.
It's very nearly verbatim. You act like this behavior wasn't rampant on Twitter and hasn't just been carried over to Bluesky, where it just doesn't fly. Every time I see someone point out stolen material, there's always one person trying to gaslight them into thinking it's not. It is. Blatantly.
Right? I mean, just yesterday I posted "Well I'm sure now Republicans will be calling for Hegseth's resignation, right?"
And then, not ten mins later, some thief posted "Well I'm positive conservatives will be demanding Hegseth's resignation, right?"
And I'm like, 'Stop stealing my material!'
Now, when Jeffrey Goldberg writes that book we all will buy it to support what he did for this country. He’s a patriot & I hope he stays safe. These goons don’t give a f* who they knock off.
And that he did not announce to the group chat right at the beginning that he should not be there. He allowed the incompetence and idiocy to play out and then publish the outcome, which now the WH gaslights as being no big deal.
Interesting that the reporter still has that reaction, of expecting normalcy instead of immediately seeing the disaster, insanity, utter absurdness as it unveils in front of our own eyes in a daily basis.
I appreciate that he didn't release the original text immediately, showing that he wanted them all to explain how he came to be a part of it. Then when they lied about everything and him, all bets were off and he hit back. As he should have. They had a chance to mia culpa and they didn't.
Umm he should of said nothing and see how many of these meetings he could of been invited too but being a shill fir the empire requires your obedience i suppose
He is doing what any honest American citizen that cares about all of our safety & security would/should do,unlike those fake "patriots" that attacked the Capitol & their cult appeasers would if they were in the same situation. I sure appreciate him also!
🇺🇸👍
Unfortunately, by recent standards, this puts him in hero status. Not all heroes wear capes, but some publish accidental transmissions of a Signal chat.
It’s a good thing he was in there. He was the only one there who understood that they shouldn’t be discussing operational details on an unsecured platform! Our supposed top national security appointees, not so much. 🙄😳
But still will, I'm sure.
I'm just sorry he left the chat.
He should have stayed & written about what wasn't tooo sensitive now.
Then revealed the rest later, when various politicians really NEED to end up in prison.
I’ve been thinking this also. He must have considered it but as a legitimate journalist and decent person, he did not. Kills me to hear the Keystone Cops call him trash.
Why Maga Haberman continues to believe what Trump says is a mystery unless she comes by her name honestly. I think Trump wants Greenland because we monitor Russia from there and he's doing it as a favor to his fake-bestie Putin.
Don't forget Jonathan Swan who was all too excited to destroy Biden knowing he had already signed the book deal with Haberman for 🟠💩s 2nd term, should it happen
I can’t say enough about the Atlantic and it’s journalists including Jeff Goldberg. Many, if not most, of the stories use audio to narrate which is great if you’re a slow reader like me.
She sat on a bunch of shit trump did throughout his first admin and never revealed it until after he was out of office when she published it all in a book.
Dang, I always liked her insights. Was it anything we didn't know (seriously enquiring). I was going to buy her book but second thoughts now - I actually learned a lot from Mary Trump's book. Anyway, also Covie said this first! https://bsky.app/profile/covie93.bsky.social/post/3ll5ri4lejc2v
I don't remember specifics, but yes, I think there was some new info in what she published, that had it been known may have helped with the impeachment. But then, with the R's in congress, the outcome would have still been the same.
You beat me to it! Haberman had plenty of intel very early in the 1st administration that could have forever sunk the mango Mussolini's ship to the bottom of the ocean...
So many of us feel the same way.
The first response about this I made was to a MAGA.
I stated that they obviously didn't have a son or daughter in the military. That's where my first thoughts were.
God bless our Troops & their family's! (Exspecialy while Trump is in office)
🙏🏻🌊🇺🇲💙🇺🇲🌊🙏🏻
WE ARE IN DANGER
Trump already did this in his first term. He freed 5,000 Taliban terrorists. And one of the Taliban leaders came back to ambush Americans during the exit of US troops from Afghanistan. Dump didn't give Biden details of his deal with the terrorists, because of the Jan.6 coup. Then Dump blamed Biden.
Amen to that. Jeffrey Goldberg is a true patriot! He's acting now while this is fresh in the memory of Americans so they know how the Trump administration truly fucked up on this one.
I was going to; but, for me, it is a little pricy right now. I did subscribe to their newsletter though. It would send a message if people did subscribe.
I attended an AFIO meeting in McLean years ago when he was the featured speaker. A CIA analyst at my table said, "That guy would find out a meteor was going to hit Milwaukee and keep it to himself because the loss of life would make his upcoming book more dramatic." Yeah, he's that kind of asshole.
Exactly! Like others we know whose names shall not be mentioned aside from calling said people shameless assholes. I hate when officials and reporters do that! If it was so bad why wait and write a book or an article? It’s their duty to inform the people, imo. Ugh
Big time. His show, Washington Week annoys me sometimes (too many guests crammed into 30 minutes and sometimes it borders on press-fawning nonsense), but he is handling this appropriately. I hope he’s safe.
No, Jeffrey didn't. But did Pancho the dry cleaner, or Natasha the ex neighbor, or Steve from Discount Liquors? How about those groups attached via BCC? O please, do you really think there is only one?
Definitely! I just subscribed to The Atlantic just on the strength of his integrity and courage. It's not cheap, but it's important I think to support this kind of journalist and journalism.
I also appreciate he posted the text to protect not just his reputation but also our service members by not allowing any excuse, downplaying of the severity of this FUCK up...
because THAT'S what it is ...
A DANGEROUS FUCK UP and ALL involved MUST resign...
His actions so far have been what one would normally expect of *any* ordinarily patriotic American, but in the Esper/Bolton/Woodward (et al) context become downright heroic.
Jeffrey Goldberg has proven himself to be both a total professional and a patriot. He demonstrated honesty, judgement, restraint, put America’s armed forces first, and refused to be called a liar.
Goldberg is head and shoulders above reporters who risk Democracy for a buck. Besides Woodward and Haberman, let's not forget about John Bolton... didn't he sit on some crucial information?

It was a perfect group chat. A beautiful group chat.
I mean, he’s a greedy, perverted, narcissistic old man with a very low IQ but they still managed to convince enough people to elect him…twice. Even after he showed his hand. Wtf??

It's less a joke than a sentiment - and one that perhaps more than one person has had and expressed in a similar manner.
Take many pills.
And then, not ten mins later, some thief posted "Well I'm positive conservatives will be demanding Hegseth's resignation, right?"

There he met and befriended Rafiq Hijazi, a Muslim, Palestine Liberation Organization leader, whom Goldberg later befriended.
Goldberg has dual citizenship with the US & Israel.
Read what you wrote.
good point
DonOld will not forget or forgive !
But protests against Tesla? That is terrorism!
I do not have that tendency anymore.

I'll take a journalist that politicians and cops call "trash" over one they're more than happy to work with
Bernstein, among others, never learned that lesson.
