It's a good thing Goldberg isn't a greedy or vindictive man.
He could have sold that classified information to Iran, as soon as he got it, before the strike.
There would have been no way republicans and\or hegseth could have put a spin on that.
start going after don really hard, question who’s running things, say their ALL making the president look incompetent lay it on thick, his ego will guid his reaction, if he thinks firing them will get him better ratings they’ll be gone
He'd be fired from The Apprentice for less. But this is real life and we all know the image Trump built of himself is nothing like the weak, feeble man he is who desperately relies on yes-men to prop his ego up.
He’s obviously talking about Target launching an amazing sale last weekend. My wife and I share similar texts to coordinate so we don’t miss out on the savings. 👊🇺🇸🔥
After listening to this yahoo MAGA Administration and Convicted Felon Trump as far as Signal-gate. I think at this point everyone just has to start believing in Unicorns! America is a JOKE !
Do you think it's possible that he's not lying? I'm not saying that he didn't text war plans, because we can all clearly see that he texted war plans. I'm just wondering if he was blackout drunk when he texted war plans.
Day two of our 72 hr stop work.

Benghazi attack was 13 years ago, and even despite determining it was their own responsibility, they’re still blaming Hilary. So I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Do folks know why it called classified? It aides element of surprise in the attack, but also it not for general domain, if it wasn't classified it would be on the news with trump cheerleading it my plan.
So the Republicans are blaming Biden for their stupidity. I’m shocked they haven’t blamed Hillary emails as the reason. Most incompetent groups of white assholes I have ever seen and that is as an old white dude.
It reads like some 12 year old who played way too much call of duty and wants to impress his older cousins by showing off words he learned online. Except he's not begging his parents for $9 for the new skin that just dropped, it's about $50 million in lethal hardware and servicemembers lives.
...and Canada, France, Greenland etc etc. Every where but China and Russia. The countries with THOUSANDS of nuclear warheads targeted on American cities.
These clowns have reduced lives to war games. The old board game of RISK! This is what we get for vetting the incompetent cosplay morons. They are ALL sociopaths. Every. Single. One.
Look, guys, like, firstly, I dont recall using a phone. Frankly, I dont even know how these new fangled thingamajigs work. But also, like, I mean, you say "war plans," I mean like, I dont have my glasses with me, but I mean, like, the word "war" is just like..HEY! Look over there: JD Vance is gay!
This tread is over three hours. The original thread showed 19 members to receive the message and not one person counted how many “should be”. This is not surprising from a DUI hire. But, the rest should be called out with equal criticism for negligence. Save America 🇺🇸
Such a shame that Pete couldn’t parts of the text red or flashing letters - just to make sure that nobody thought he was an illegitimate cosplay dude pretending to be DOD head
I still remember how he used to fire people left and right who he said were incompetent, stupid etc. This group in the chat box clearly did not follow proper security protocols.
Let see 🍿
Prediction: Hegseth is the guy at the blackjack table that will tend to double his bets to recoup losses. Watch for some sort of “spectacular” operational comeback move as he tries to salvage his reputation and moxie.
I fear for America with drunks, pedos, rapists, haters of humanity and thugs running your country is a disaster just waiting to happen! Trump making excuses and your chicken shit congress and scotus is all to blame ! Trumps revenge tour is going to kill innocent Americans!
In all fairness, he probably was blacked out drunk, so he couldn’t remember if he was indeed the one that texted exact and precise war plans on a text message lol
Hegseth: "Anyone that knows me, knows I'm describing 'Jager Bombs' & that was my breakfast, like everyday...
Just a coincidence that it was on the same day that I was bombing the Houthis or something or some other place...
Okay, it's time for another round of shots for the Presscore, I get two."
Just made a few calls to my MoC to ask them exactly what they’re going to do to protect us against this clear and present danger that is our current defense and national security “leadership”. I read the text verbatim, asking how this is not a direct release of top secret military information.
The chat group included at least 18 users, with many names matching Trump's top officials:
• Mike Waltz, national security adviser
• Pete Hegseth, secretary of defense
• JD Vance, vice president
• Marco Rubio, secretary of state
• John Ratcliffe, CIA director
• Tulsi Gabbard…
Yall need to prepare. The alt right pipeline has already disseminated their rebuttals, MAGA is doubling down, and Mike Johnson is calling for Congress to destroy our judicial system. Their psychological warfare is winning.
You are precisely correct. Even if there was a hearing or discipline of any kind, 47 would dismiss it or pardon them. It will not be until the Supreme Court finds Trump guilty of something and imprisons him OR the GOP finds its courage and moral conviction they claim to possess that this will end.
They have all the Ammo they need…start with the alt right pipeline…we have proof they are pushing the content on children…it’s literally psychological warfare. Ugh.
Watergate. Nixon Resignation. I was 21. And saw it happen. In real time. Not online. It all started with a single thread, hotel break-in , pulled by some courageous, driven journalists(print only!) perhaps Mr. Hegseth & Company have a string hanging. Who can pull it? I’m game.
So Pete Hegseth and the rest of his team whoever involved sharing classified info should get fired. They should be held accountable. Since they complain so much on Hillary email server.
I’m watching the Senate hearings. Asked Gabbard were people groups, or timelines, or specific weapons, or launch outlines mentioned in the messages. She answered “no, they were not.”
Sure did! The others being questioned did, too! (With the exception of Patel, I won’t give him credit, but he lucked out of having to perjure himself because of the questions he was asked)
They lied to the American people & Congress about classified material discussed in an app on unsecure phones. One participant was in Russia and his phone was compromised. They put American lives in harm's way. They knew Signal wasn't secure. #RemoveHegseth #RemoveGabbard #RemoveWaltz
Accidentally including a journalist on conversations is a mistake, making the decision to text war plans is concerning, but doubling down on the fact that this isn't a major issue and not taking accountability is more than alarming
When he says that he didn't make any mistakes, I can only assume that he meant to make it look inadvertent that someone from the US is in on the call while in Russia.
They lie repeatedly about this episode, smugly assuming Goldberg will play nice and not reveal the content of those texts. But they flipped the chessboard months ago. He’s thrown it back at them to expose what they are. There’s a lesson here, Senator Schumer.
No one will step down. No one will apologize. They’ll circle the wagons, smear the journalist, bury the scandal. Next week, another seismic outrage will make us forget this one—which will also have no consequences. And so the loop goes, until the end of the universe.
Those look like the same war plans that Edward Snowden captured from Steve Witkoff's phone while Witkoff was in Moscow. Snowden promptly handed it over to Putin.
Nothing like an incompetent idiot broadcasting our war plans on a platform that his own department has warned is not to be used. The orange turd and his drones can lie all they want. The reality is that the American people are finally seeing the harm this group of FUBAR morons are causing.
It’s called lying to Congress, or perjury. Under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001, it is a crime to knowingly and willfully conceal something from or make a false statement to Congress — punishable with up to five years in prison.
Pete Hegseths only required qualification to lead our military men & women was his unfettered loyalty to GOP/MAGA's dear cult leader. MAGA think Americans are stupid, easily manipulated & distracted..Midterm clock is ticking, lets see just how stupid,distracted & gullible US voters are..

But the flight times of deporting immigrants to El Salvador is a state secret because it could seriously affect national security. These clowns need to be tried for treason
Ted: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
The dude is an addict, and until he is treated, he will lie to everyone, including himself. Others in this group have similar flaws...a disaster! They will get away with this with Americans because of the current regime. But the rest of world is totally onto this shit! And it will not end well...

This was just an accident.
Does Germany really have Pete’s passwords?
Maybe a slight glitch.

I don't remember because of heavily intoxicated
Bahhhahahhahaa
Ironically, they do consider us to be at war against gangs in Mexico.
Very interesting.
Misogynistic drunk Repube!
This is what you get when a low IQ scam artist scams a bunch of low IQ Americans into falling for the scam that he is smart and knows what he’s doing.
Evidence proves they are all MORONS!
That’s not war plans.
It’s just a weather report.
FYI The Atlantic is failing magazine.
Which is a very low bar.
"Sure. I sold da code and two pair of plans! Thatsa some joke, eh boss?"
(Duck Soup was a lot funnier when it wasn't so prophetic...)
Hegseth has the hubris of an idiot.

By the timeline it’s plausible he was actually in the Kremlin reading the chat log.
It’s either stupidity magnified, or malicious intentions.
All because of “they eating the cats, they eating the dogs”
It's my takeaway from all of this.
I bet they all get away with this. And I’m expecting much worse as long as they are not removed.
What to do when faced with bottomless lies like this?
my parents are convinced everything against trump is fabricated.

🤷🏻♂️🙄
1. The National Security team lied about classified information not being included
OR
2. The National Security team believes that it is unnecessary for information like this to be classified
I'm unsure which of those choices is worse.

Who do these sanctimonious, pompous aholes think they are fooling - other than their brainless base?!
Speak the truth! People would probably have a little more respect for you!
For those of us outside your Cult, stop insulting our intelligence!
Elaine: When will you be back?
Ted: I can't tell you that. It's classified
Don't Allow Them To 'Mince Words'!
They Know (Or Have Been Schooled By Now) on the Differences Between the terms, "War Plans", and, "Targeting Packages".
BOTH ARE CLASSIFIED!
They can SAY, "Nobody Texted Any War Plans!"
They CANNOT say, "Nobody Texted Any Targeting Packages!"
(Nevermind that there's no archivable record of Signal chats, so FOIA conveniently impossible.)
To coin gaslighting Bill Clinton, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
