I hope someone has his back. Security wise.
I was just thinking that the admin would try to take his documents or him.
The Dems in Congress should have met with him and had him unload the documents.

What's the Classified information that was shared?
The guy who broke this news is tied to so many made-up hoaxes about the trump administration.
Look him up. If there is any top-secret stuff that was discussed, this guy would have published it. He is the same guy that lied that trump called fallen soldiers losers and suckers.

It's just a normal discussion. The only problem here is that they are not using a platform that can keep records since the records would be government property. the other eff up is they added the sucker (who lied trump said it does not cost 60k to bury a effing Mexican)

Stop allowing your support for Trump becloud your sense of reasoning over something as simple as this. They literally just told the world the timing for military strikes, our negotiation approach with Europe and Egypt and you are here trying to trivialize it. If this happened under Joe, you would be all over the place.

It’s a sad day for American foreign relations. If there’s any lesson in this, it’s that allies can now see they can’t trust this administration with sensitive information. This level of negligent irresponsible behavior coupled with them pandering to Russia should be a cautionary tale.

Where in the chat did they disclose the exact timing of the attack?
There was no negotiation approach. They said they are doing it for Europe despite hating the fact that they have to bail the EU out again. are we reading the same thing.

Tell us the:
1) The exact timing of the conversation
2) The negotiation with approach with Egypt and Europe

Well, unlike you, Yemen do not need to read 5:12PM GMT to know a strike is now imminent. They have seen enough details to be prepared, enough to reduce the level of damage they would suffer if a strike goes on.

Europe and Egypt have seen enough details and go into negotiations from a point of knowledge knowing the US approach. “If Europe doesn’t remunerate, then what?” Freedom of navigation at great cost, economic gains extracted from?

Europe will formulate their own negotiations from a point of knowledge.

For the sake of people around you, I hope you are not involved in any aspect of strategic planning.

And y’all can say what you want about Goldberg, he waited until after the action to speak up. He was more responsible than any of the heads of security that we depend on for our safety. If he went for clout the moment he got the messages and the mission got compromised, the American troops lives that could’ve been risked/lost would squarely be on Hegseth’s hands.

Hegseth should be thanking him with a bottle of gin & a sack of kola nuts. Instead of blowing hot like a teenage hothead. I’m glad Goldberg brought it to the public. If he went to them privately, they would cover it up to avoid losing face. Who knows what would’ve quietly happened to him to make the story disappear. And none of us would be the wiser.
Gaslighting taken to the moon. He kept quiet hoping there would be a big fuq up. Hegseth is whom they are after, not Waltz.
You don't know what you are saying. When you see something wrong , point it out asap. Hey Waltz am I supposed to be in this Group? He didn't. For almost 2 weeks he was lurking silently hoping he is not discovered.
He confirmed by the time the first bomb exploded.
It's his word now , they can't reveal what they were conversing , If anyone lies and Goldberg publishes it, that official is gone.

A complete non-answer.
If Yemen knew about the strike, how come key equipment and government officials were destroyed and killed? The Trump administration told Yemen they are going to receive strikes till it pledged not to attack ships going through the Red Sea. Is that not information everyone knows?

So this is a classified information
As I heard it, the president was clear:
green light, but we soon make clear to
Egypt and Europe what we expect in
return. We also need to figure out how
to enforce such a requirement. EG, if
Europe doesn't remunerate, then what
If the US successfully restores freedom
of navigation at great cost, there needs
to be some further economic gain
extracted in return.
Let them formulate; that does not mean it is classified information.

Jerry Goldberg is a hack.
He wrote the piece about Trump refusing to nisit the graves of war heroes in Germany. Trump didn't attend because of the weather, they didn't want a traffic snafl up at short notice . Goldberg accused Trump of calling the soldiers losers or something like that. Totally fake story which in China would have sent him to the gallows.

In 2024 Goldberg said Trump got curious about paying $60k for a soldiers funeral

Later Jerry Goldberg said " President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from The Atlantic two weeks before the election."

They are not the ones hiding it. The guy who published the chat is a known liar behind Russia Hoax, Trumps remark about dead soldiers and the one during the presidential campaign that Trump said it does not cost a fuckng 65k to bury a Mexican. If there are any there there, this guy would have released it one way or the other.

But the bold is a sad question from an intelligent being.

So pick your option.

1.) Trump officials exchanged classified information about ongoing military operations on a private/public app.
or
2.) Trump officials don't think discussing ongoing military operations worthy of security classification (they said nothing classified was shared). And so the use of a private app was acceptable.

Either way there is no defense to this.

Dec 18,2024. Trump was president elect.

Today, CISA urged senior government and political officials to switch to end-to-end encrypted messaging apps like Signal following a wave of telecom breaches across dozens of countries, including eight carriers in the United States.

CISA and the FBI confirmed these breaches in late October after reports that the Salt Typhoon, a Chinese-backed threat group, had hacked multiple U.S. telcos, including T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies. Although the timing of the breaches is unclear, the attackers reportedly had access for "months or longer."


Ijebos could make a bogus prosecutor

Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 6:23pm On Mar 25, 2025
Judge Patricia A. Millett, who serves on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

In recent remarks, Millett claimed that Nazis received “better treatment” under the Alien Enemies Act than the violent gangsters deported by the Trump administration.

“There were planeloads of people,” Millett said during a hearing about the legality of the deportation flights.

“There were no procedures in place to notify people.”

“Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act than has happened here.


This is a judge that Obama nominated to the DC Court of Appeals. Noone should ever praise the the US justice system. It's totally bleeped up beyond repair. Should DOJ charge democrats for treason ,these judges will simply throw out or stonewall the cases.
Judge Boasberg has said that everyone should get his own deportation hearing, lawyers will make bank. That's okay because they came in illegally after getting a court hearing.

it is not new to use this app for discussion like this. the only Eff up is that they accidentally or knowingly add someone that is not supposed to be there.
DNI Gabbard has stated that no classified material was in the Signal text group; it's up to the Atlantic to push back and release everything. these are people who are happy when stuff is leaked to the public, when milley was leaking to the enemy. If they know their information would hurt trump, they are gonna leak it one way or the other.

The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen.

I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.
At 11:44 a.m., the account labeled “Pete Hegseth” posted in Signal a “TEAM UPDATE.” I will not quote from this update, or from certain other subsequent texts. The information contained in them, if they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East, Central Command’s area of responsibility. What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.
Do you get it now?

In a decent administration, there would have been a lot of resignation and firing, but with Trump administration, everything is okay except it was done by Hillary or Biden or any other Democrat.

No, there are loads of information that are not classified but you don't know about them. They are not in the public scene.

So I still disagree with you. Him knowing before others does not mean it was classified.

Trump fires people it is Biden who does not fire people.

Honestly, this is an embarrassing rebuttal. Did Trump also share specific details related to weapons, targets and timing sequence? Yemen will always suffer casualties irrespective. The issue is, what is now confirmed as sensitive military intelligence found its way into the cell phone of a civilian.

The fact that you have to spell this out is everything wrong with this lot.

In normal climes (shame that we now have to exclude America from this description), heads would be rolling for the blatant potential endangerment of US Military lives and equipment. But hey, it's just another normal day in their world.

Harry Enten (CNN) -

We need a "reality check"... Right track % in the U.S. is "through the roof!" Highest since 04 per NBC & 2nd highest since 09 per Marist.

Trump is more popular now in his net favorable than any time in term 1 or when he won in 2024.

Generic ballot looks like when GOP wins.
