U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

You seem confused. Hillary’s violations were intentional. This was a mistake (if it actually happened).IP: Logged |

I’m hearing that they want to go to war with Iran. What happened to ending all wars? IP: Logged |

If they’re using Signal for a military strike, then they’re using Signal for everything in government. AND IT’S ALL GETTING DELETED IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. http://x.com/hissgoescobra/status/1904257690999590989 IP: Logged |

According to X. Check. This is the same clown pretending to be a journalist who had peddled every Trump hoax. But even if true, this was just some members of President Trump’s cabinet talking about what to recommend to him. IP: Logged |

Not just "recommending". Telling you loathe your allies and using emojis while in such an important government is very uprofessional and showing what complete clowns they are. The U.S. can forget about European countries buying any U.S. weapons in the near future. This cabinet is fumbling diplomacy in the worst possible way.IP: Logged |

No one was texting "war plans." There was no classified information revealed. IP: Logged |

She is indeed confused, not understanding the difference between intentionally and accidentally.Now if this "accident" really happened, I suspect it was the work of rogue intelligence elements who are trying to embarrass the administration. Security measures should be examined and re-examined, IT personel should be vetted and re-vetted. There are deep state rogue agents who need to be rooted out.

Stop the hysteria. That reporter has made up lies before. Nothing was classified. The CIA has approved Signal as permissible because it encrypts data. This was a permissible use. That’s embarrassing? I’ll tell you what’s embarrassing: Eric Swalwell calling for Waltz and Hegseth to step down. Swalwell screwed a Chinese spy for years while he was in charge of intelligence secrets. Another Dem had a spy driving her around for years. Biden had classified docs in his unlocked garage for decades, where his crackhead son brought in prostitutes. All of that is embarrassing.

ok, after listening to Charlie Kirk, I am pretty satisfied with his take on it. https://youtu.be/6V0ISmzTcN4?t=3 My conspiracy theorist mind is willing to believe that Mike Waltz added Goldberg to the group chat by accident, but he still needs to explain why the phone number of the editor of a Trump hating newspaper was in his contact list.

All of the people in that group chat (excluding the journalist), should be fired. I didn't expect MAGA to have any morals, and treat them the way they treat the Democrats. MAGA has no morals, no integrity. IP: Logged |

No one in the White House is denying the chat was leaked. You’re claiming it might have been made up while no one involved is saying that. They’re only saying it wasn’t that serious. While it obviously is. And you can’t keep pointing fingers at Democrats. Trump is in charge now and he and his team are accountable for their own actions. My brother’s a drug addict, that doesn’t mean I can get away with hitting my kids by saying “well, at least I’m not a drug addict like my brother.”

No, I am saying this reporter is lying about the content, just like he lied about several of the Trump hoaxes that have been debunked. A target is mentioned, but no name is given. No location for the bombings is disclosed. We already know President Trump said he was going to rain down hell on them. This conversation revealed nothing much new from that promise. And President Trump publicly admitted that it was a mistake and owned up to it. It is relevant that Swalwell is asking did the two of them to step down. Did he step down from the intelligence committee after banging a Chinese spy for years and getting caught?IP: Logged |

The problem isn't using Signal, it's accidentally sending confidential information to an unauthorized person. Even if they're not "war plans" it is sensitive information. And the way Vance and Hegseth talked about their European allies is pathetic. Like I mentioned before, they're fumbling dimplomacy.This is high school level "mean girls" behavior. It's very unprofessional and will only further push allies away. But hey, you still have Putin. And now he demands the trade sanctions need to be lifted. Watch how Trump will lift them, because it's a "good deal". While further pushing Europe's buttons as Vance and his wife visit Greenland. The U.S. is going down a very dangerous road by alienating their allies and cozying up to a dictator. IP: Logged |

What do morals or integrity have to do with this incident? Seems like someone who should not have been added was accidentally added to a group chat. Mercury retrograde strikes again, lol! We can all agree this was a very regrettable incident and potentially dangerous for the nation and steps should be taken so that it doesn't happen again. And if there was negligence, or malice, the guilty party should be dealt with accordingly, and I am sure that behind the scene they are investigating. But until we have a definitive knowledge of what happened, there is no reason why everyone on this chat should be fired. IP: Logged |

No one lied about anything. This is all the Dems have? How pathetic. Dems have no power to do anything, and it is driving them even crazier than usual. As far as Europe goes, who cares what they think? They need to learn to stand up for themselves and pay their own way.IP: Logged |
