Signalgate

Hilarious! Ditto Puddy Tat!

The questions the Dems should be asking is, "If this skank "journalist" thought this was a "classified" session why didn't he disconnect?" And, why did he wait until the night before the Senate hearing to release the "War Plans", er I mean, the "Attack Plan" as they had to change later as a week had elapsed.

Enjoy your chubby. It's over for the rest of us.

Can you say Bengazi & Afganistan withdrawal ????

Pure incompetence, followed by lies and arrogance. You knew when Trump picked a Fox News personality for Secretary of Defense, something like this would happen.

74% of Americans say Signal chat leak is ‘serious’ problem: yahoo.com

No one is above the law - is a bedrock of the democratic system - that was tested and found wanting in America.

All this is a corollary to that. No one should be surprised.

What is most surprising about this new episode is how juvenile these characters are. Looking at the screen shots of this signal text chat, and looking at how our Secretary of Defense, our Vice President, and the other high level officials use emoji’s like a bunch of high school frat bros, makes it very clear to me that this is not a group of very serious people, that’s more scary than whether some idiot copied into this classified chat, a reporter, which is by itself a very serious breach of trust.

If this happened during a Democrat administration, we'd rightly be livid. And now we're supposed to not be because our side did it?

This double-standard and lack of basic accountability is why I align myself only with traditional Republicans and lament what my party has become today

^Agree 100% Hegseth is incompetent. Miller is incompetent. Gabbard is incompetent. Kennedy is a mentally ill anti-vaxxer cum stain lunatic. Donald Trump is incompetent. Pity for America that they are still better than Progressives who aren't Americans at all.

Yawn

Look at these weasels stonewalling and twisting under oath. "No classified information was shared" but their own classification guidance states imminent attack plans should be top secret.

As a registered Republican, I agree with “TheSingularity’s” comment. It’s the idea like everything is ok as long as your team is the one getting away with it. A slippery slope we all don’t want to let go much longer. At least the border is more secured, right?

Liberal hateclick bait. Far more and worse scandals around Clinton (Epstein, Lewinsky, rape accusations, Whitewater), Obama (Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS, NSA PRISM, illegal alien caravans), and Biden (erasing southern border, Afghan pullout, 5,000 pardons plus Hunter, the orphaned bag of coke, secret files in the garage, hidden and suppressed cognitive incompetence, influence peddling, his SecDef going AWOL, his DoJ targeting political opponents, harassing and coercing social media and legacy media). OP needs to learn probability v impact.

After PT tried and failed to discourage discussion with his "bait" post, we knew he'd post over and over to defend, deflect, and get the last word in (while lying too... the "whole time" yeah right).

So predictable.

It's disturbing that nobody is being held accountable for this. Any lower level staffer in the intelligence community or DoD would have been disciplined if not fired for a screw up like this.

^ "Deport Jan6 protesters..." At least you called them Protesters and not Insurrectionist; that's a good first step to recovery. BTW. these protesters were not illegals so deport to where? The destructive and violent ones should be prosecuted, not the ones just walking around.

Visa and Green Card holders are not American Citizens. Support a terrorist regime while here on a visa or GC, you get deported. If African Americans were being treated as the Jewish population, we'd have The Summer of Love V2 on 'roids.

You need to tweak your meds.

@rickmicrdong "Lol not illegals? Permanent residents arent illegals either are they?"

Green Card holders, aka Lawful Permanent Residents, are not American Citizens. And, if they lied to get a GC, or become a serious problem like supporting terrorist orgs, they can be booted. The fun part, the GC'ers never read the "fine print. Gov't provides piles of "Guidelines" and "Welcome" booklets, learning what consequences could be is important.

Under Biden these LPRs were given unfettered behavior. Now, not so much. They can be deported back to the country of origin.

It was OK when the FBI investigated and knocked on doors of uppity, not violent, parents who were PISSED OFF at Progressive School Boards, and investigating Catholics as they are (mostly) against abortion, except Biden and Pelosi.

When laws are enforced it amazes me how "shocked" the left becomes. I find the level of stupidity and lack of understanding interesting. Instead, Progressives expect their "Manchurian Candidate" judges to wake-up to suppress and become political, not judges supporting the Constitution.

Whenever DHS ships an illegal to the El Salvador prison, they best be shipping just the bangers, not "just" illegal aliens, we have a different trip for them back to their homeland.

Xenophobes should note that in general our constitutional rights apply to "people", not "citizens." Like, this is the literal text of the 5th amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Notice it doesn't say "citizens" anywhere, but "people".

Anyway, I'm shocked, shocked that Trump cult members in this thread want to derail it so we don't talk about Signalgate.

I'm not sure what it shows more, the rank incompetence of the right wing extremists surrounding Trump and running our government, or their willingness to break laws, but I can't say I'm surprised. Put a bunch of miscreants and scoflaws in powerful positions, what would you expect?

And @JamesSD you were exactly right - nothing is going to happen.

^ The country cares much more than you think. These are not serious people, I'm glad I didn't have these people making decisions when I served, the complete disrespect for the lives of our service members is appalling.

^ You seem to be obsessed, let's get this straight, you can drag in all kinds of unrelated shit, to obfuscate what happened, but guess what this event happened, these unserious people played fast and loose with the lives of our people in uniform, just because they got lucky and our people were successful in spite of these dolts, doesn't make this event proper. Your defense of the undefensable is shameful, and unAmerican.

Let's get this straight. You keep copying what others say, and try to reapply it elsewhere. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but in your case it is the symptom of a weak and fragile mind.

"Unserious people" is the term coined by Republican pundits to describe Harris and Walz, as they cackled, mugged, and flubbed their way through a disastrous campaign.

The last democrat administration played fast and loose with the lives of our people in uniform and 182 people were killed, including 13 Americans. But Biden didn't have time to acknowledge their sacrifice and kept checking his watch.

The fact of the matter is that someone erred by adding a reporter to this chain. I hope it was a low level staffer, but it should result in a dismissal. it is not, however, the disaster that you and the leftists want it to be. You just want to see Trump fail and America with him. Your desire for the failure of an administration tasked with fixing everything YOUR leaders screwed up and detroyed in America is indefensible and un-American.

You need to take a long look in the mirror, lefty. Your TDS, intolerance, and generally hateful attitude has made you the problem. You're too old to learn temperance and agreeability, but you need to think a LOT more before you attack others.

^ You're a liar and a troll nobody serious pays you no never mind

My guess is that if one stood on the street corner in very highly educated and aware Boston and asked 200 people about signalgate, 180 would have no idea of what you were talking about and the other 20 would respond: "What the fuck did that Pats do now?"

^ That's possible , still doesn't mean it didn't happen, and no matter how you slice it it's disgraceful that the vice president and the secretary of defense along with assorted other characters were having a discussion over a non secure communications about events that were about to put our service members in harms way. I'll guarantee you there is no one who serves in the military who isn't appalled that something like this takes place and then these completely unserious people so cavalierly lie and obfuscate, instead of apologize for an action any decent American agrees is shameful.

^ How do you think the military felt when their Commander in Chief needed someone to precede him into the room and put little post-it arrows on the carpet, so he'd know which way to walk?

The fuck-up was disgraceful and is 100% on Trump for picking amateurs. Just not even close to the level of hysteria the left is displaying, which makes me unwilling to be more critical. I never side with my enemies, external or internal.

^^ address the statement I’m not going to respond to the spaghetti you want to throw on the ceiling nothing you’re talking about is addressing the issue. Typical MAGA bullshit, never pay attention to the facts, just dredging up something else and trying to deflect. It’s tiresome, and annoying, you folks think we’re going chase you into a rabbit hole. I don’t know what you think about the truth, but here’s one for y’all Trump is the president so this administration has to address this issue. Biden is not an issue any more. You wanted to govern, go ahead and govern stop making up bullshit excuses and do the job you were elected to do.

Tiresome and annoying is how leftists attempt to pounce on any little thing and blow molehills into mountains. Anyone who still supported Biden after the Afghan Gate bombing has no credibility addressing this issue.

^ More spaghetti, typical of the most unserious troll poster, tell us about your service to our country loser.

^ you’re picking the fight, would be simple enough for you not to respond, but you can’t resist can ya. After all Orange Leader has you in his cult, 🍑

As usual you resort to the ad hominems, that’s the go to, and the trademark of this cult, just like Dear leader can’t win on points, so you kick the out of bounds golf ball back on the green.

be careful, gramps, your stolen valor claims are a federal crime

Biden is not an issue anymore? Are you fucking serious? This was from a card-carrying member of the party that still cannot let go of Reagan and blamed him for Bidenflation. Progressives are fucked up.

^ Before you can your panties in a wad, exactly what can Biden do now, sorry buddy this is all Trumps to deal with, not as a supporter of Biden, just realistic, you losers keep deflecting from your own narrative, it’s no longer a useful tool. Even if Biden fucked the universe, Trump ran and won, the job is his, he needs to do the job, like it or not, there’s absolutely nothing that Biden can do about anything. So get squared away it’s time to get to on whatever problems exist. Y’all are like the proverbial dog chasing the car, you caught it, now drive it and get going.

^ word salad. There was no harm done by signalgate, no 13 gold star families, you libs need to find something else to pile on about. Most Americans see there is no story here, no matter how badly you want one

Looks like I have to repost this, the Trump bootlickers have short memories.

74% of Americans say Signal chat leak is ‘serious’ problem: yahoo.com

PT posted: "Signal" is in one place on the CNN front page, 80% of the way down.

LOL you've reached rock bottom in your argument if you think this is even a remotely relevant criteria.

There are no articles on inflation on the Fox News front page today. Which is more true? (1) Americans no longer care about inflation (2) Fox News deliberately avoids stories about Trump's failures

^ Such a shameless shill

Republicans' calls for probe of Trump officials' Signal chat grow bbc.com

BBC has all the credibility of discount MSNBC. Pathetically predictable that wld4cocks would be primary consumer of their garbage. From his linked article:

"But Lankford said calls for Hegseth to resign over the issue were "overkill".

"I think he just joined an encrypted app," he said. "I don't see it as much of an issue because, again, they all believed that this was a closed circle of conversation."

Lankford added: "I don't see this as an issue of leadership."

Waltz was unable to explain how Mr Goldberg came to be on the chat, but said another, unnamed contact of his was supposed to be there in Mr Goldberg's place.

Trump had told NBC News a day before that he would not fire anyone involved in the group chat, and that he still had confidence in Waltz.

"I don't fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts," he said."

Personally, I believe it deserves a routine root cause investigation and nothing more.
