Oh, well, if a journalist could scheme his way into the signal chat without being noticed, I am sure there is no way a foreign operative could. 🙄 Do these people hear themselves?

Mike needs to go bye bye.
They (GOP & talking heads) think we are all stupid and gullible like their brain-washed MAGAts.
This excuse is somehow even worse than "Oops, I fucked up!, Sorry won't do it again". This is more like "We didn't even bother keeping our most secure group secure, so it got compromised. Shame on the person who fooled me!" Breathlessly naive.
I realize there’s no energy on this at the moment but it will be worth remembering the next time the “terror of TikTok” rears its head. The real national security exposures are human, not technical.
How many Russians were secretly listening to that chat.
If none of the Cabinet-level officers noticed "JG" was present in the group chat, they probably wouldn't notice "VP" either.
Coordinate global military planning on Snapchat and then blame the journalist? Sounds about right.
Trump picks all the best liars.
Dumb as all get out. I guess the audience believes all this crap? Wow
Sure, they hear themselves, but their intellects are as small as their egos are big. Every word they speak translates to I am wonderful and the fools that support Trump will accept anything I say without questioning the logic of doing so.
Every member of the admin on that group chat endangered national security to avoid properly maintaining records as required by law. They used unsecured devices & software as advised in Project 2025 training. Congress should investigate beyond this one time. How many similar chats have taken place?
Well, they *are* incompetent, except at demonstrating how incompetent they are.

So, if he “schemed” his way in, so can anyone else=not secure. The contortions of this administration are circus material.
WOW -- it is like Roy Cohn lives each day in the "go on the offensive -- never admit -- deny, deny, deny -- flip the narrative -- never admit -- never surrender!" A Cabinet of absolute, corruptive CLOWNS
The Clueless Klutz Klowns
You know that is at least happening now if not already.
“Schemed” seems a wrong verb choice.
It’s in the manual Trump provides upon hiring.
And of course, the journalist "joined" a chat room that he didn't even know was going to occur.
The art of the lie.
No scheming required. He was invited in.
They are throwing a lot of spaghetti
His attempt to deflect here is honestly WORSE than just inviting the guy by accident. His argument is that not only was he so stupid that he invited a journalist to the chat - which is true in either scenario. But that he was able to be deceived in to doing so as well.
Bullshit!
It was an illegal communication. The person who started it and all the senior admin officials knew that and colluded anyway
Insanely stupid, and the messed up thing - their base will eat it up and be parroting it for days
Not only stupid, but it puts Mr Goldberg in a dangerous situation — MAGATs are unhinged and making death threats at him over this.
Only the dumbest ones.
There is an uprising on twixxer, not going down well at all!
The devoted base won’t connect the dots. The obfuscation, lies are for those that are intellectually uncurious.
They are married to playbook of only appealing to MAGA parrots to rebroadcast propaganda in the echo chamber of the USA… the rest of the world recognizes this. Once MAGA really experiences the consequences of the blind following of what they’ve elected? When they finally see? There is no un-seeing.
They honestly don’t know when to shut the F up.
They know their audience.
This makes me wonder if TG was not Tulsi Gabbard. She wouldn’t answer if it was her or not.
He invited him. It is there on the messages just released by The Atlantic.
I think they are counting on their crowd to belive it, no matter how transparently ridiculous it is.
Nope. Nothing but wind in their empty heads.
I think it is more likely that Mike Waltz has been leaking info to the press...why else would he have saved a journalist in his contacts?
Invited him into his contacts two days before the chat…
Absolute Moron Embarrassing 🇺🇲
And we are being forced to pay his salary. Even though he's too dumb to suss out what he's saying and too dumb to understand it indicts them even more.
Stupid people!
Especially if a member of the Signal group is in Moscow...
I THINK JEFFREY GOLDBERG JUST MIGHT HAVE SAVED DEMOCRACY!!!
They’re counting on their base being so brainwashed that they don’t ask questions and choose to ignore all the facts.
You’re right. The blatant lies they tell are not meant to convince us that Mr Goldberg did something illegal — after all, a 6yr old could see through them. The lies are meant to keep the base from looking too closely at them by giving them someone else to blame for everything that goes wrong.
Well it’s a decent bet that MAGA won’t care a bit. Half of them will be brainwashed into thinking the reporter will be tried for treason at some point and the other half won’t care because it’ll own the libs.
They didn’t know he was there. People who are in the highest levels of the government, responsible for the nation’s security, did not check to see who was in the group before they discussed military plans. It’s criminally irresponsible. I’m more careful with my family group texts.
The idea that he would be aware such a group chat existed in the first place to even know it could be "hacked into" raises a lot of questions to begin with
Why do you think he hacked his way in…
I Posted Exactly the same thought. But less concisely. (No surprise there, lol)
They hear themselves alright but they know that the Fox News viewers are stupid enough to believe them.
One theme stays the same? They LIE
They will bend themselves into pretzels to protect the orange buffoon and the garbage they do. The reporter had nothing to do with getting on the group, that would have been someone in the group adding him. However, we know the GOP will always pass the blame.
They certainly do, Steve.
I heard propaganda barbie going after Hilllary and Hunter Biden. They are shameless liars.
For anyone who’s used Signal, you can see who’s invited someone into a chat. As can the rest of the group. (“XYZ has invited Gabbard, Ratcliffe, Goldberg, etc, to the group.”) I can only assume Goldberg is holding onto that info until the right time.
Please sweet baby Jesus.
It might be the leverage he needs to stop himself falling from a high window.
I don’t know anything about Signal, but I find this significant! I can’t edit for this to come out in the wash. Honestly, these creeps are so ridiculous.
Yep!!!
He told us he was invited in by Walzt - 2 days before the chat. Thought it was a spoof, because it was outrageous.
A 1 week disappearance... a long time for folks to notice. Waltz invited Mr. G. He's the guy who screwed up the most. If he has any sense of self-awareness or dignity, he'd stfu and fall on his (little) sword right now. But he's a schmuck. Same as the rest of them.
So…I’m curious why the rest of them thought it was a good idea to include a journalist. Or maybe the are so used to unquestioning obedience they just say “yay!” no matter what?
Who is MAR and how can they add themselves?
Mar-a-lago team as well lol?! Who knows, it’s madness bro
Houthi sharpshooters know what they must do. They know the targets.
I find the note it will disappear in a week the most indicting information. Deliberately violating the FOIA - time for action, @schumer.senate.gov @senatedemocrats.bsky.social
Wouldn't this qualify as 'exigent circumstances' to seize all their devices? The evidence is literally going to be destroyed unless we have immediate action.
I think risking the lives of service members may be a hair worse....
Yes, that is - and I feel it acutely for those young folks in harms way… a close family friend is an F16 fighter pilot. You are right that that is the worst, when I wrote that, however,I was thinking literally indictable - as in lawfully.
Btw wasnt saying your point was WRONG...it is spot on...
lol you tagged @schumer.senate.gov . He’s more worried about his friendship status with republicans than doing anything meaningful.
In addition to tagging Schumer, I suggest you tag somebody who gives a shit.
Yeah, tagging Schumer is going to help...
Gotta try to shame him.
Mike Walz and Hegseth should both resign.
I suspect Goldberg WASN'T invited by accident. Remember how the Trymp and Nixon admin was full of leaks from those in the inside fed up with the corruption? It would be a good bet these troglodytes let staff have access to all their devices and accounts. Could it be for exposure or revenge?
