we need Chris Hansen to interrogate these people!
we need Chris Hansen to interrogate these people!
if only he would add a little Horatio Caine from CSI: Miami! maybe this summer he will wear some shades!
The picture of incompetence.
Warner is perfect. Reminds me of Katie Porter.
Witkoff joining in from Moscow using a commercial app is practically giving #Putler direct insights into US-attack planning, personnel, assets and packages. #stopTheMadness and #saveTheUS from the #lunaticInChief and his incompetent gang.
I am surprised that she agreed to testify at all. Dumb move in this case if you're not going to tell the truth. The whole truth and nothing but...
Spot. On.
Enter the MAGA spin doctors. Unfortunately all they are going to do is get dizzy. There isn't anything to spin here. Gross incompetence is too kind.
Ok but they *are* having it both ways
If these senior members of the government have testified under oath that there was no classified information, the journalist should be free to publish the part of the chat that he assumed would be too sensitive to reveal.
That isn't how classified information gets declassified.
Wouldn’t these officials be in contempt once the highly sensitive information Goldberg left out of his article is revealed behind closed door hearings to those with the proper clearance?
Ossoff just skewered the lying snakes. Presidential material for sure!!! 👍
And if they don't want the journalist publicizing all the texts because it's 'classified', then they're lying when they said that none of this stuff in the text was classified. It either is or it isn't.
If it’s not classified then it is ok for the Atlantic to publish it verbatim
I'm going to assume due to the integrity of The Atlantic and their unwillingness to publish, that this is in fact classified information.
Totally agree. Be fun to see what the threat of that will do to the republicans who keep claiming it wasn't classified.
Goldberg has said that a CIA operative's name, one who is in deep cover, was shared in the chat. Classified information was in the chat.
Talk to the cabinet people. They are the ones saying nothing classified...
But it can't be shared, but they might not have been on the thread at all, but even if they were, the problem was that a journalist was on there, not that they were on their personal phones on an unsecured app. The "but her emails" and "intelligence leaks lead to firings" crowd are sure quiet.
You know that, and I know that. I'm not disagreeing. Merely pointing out the untenable position they have put themselves in. If it's classified, they all should be in deep doo doo. If it's not classified, as they have all said, then no harm in publishing. 👇
The whole episode is full of things that would get lower level people fired, charged, tried, and convicted.
If only we lived in the reality where these people would be.
And Tulsi Gabbard stated under oath that no classified information was transmitted.
She wouldn't admit to being on the chat, yet knew what was in it, yet can't talk about it because it is being looked at, but it wasn't classified. She also claimed she didn't know DoD policy. The Pentagon had just said don't use Signal, it was not a sanctioned app, these people make us less safe!
What was her lie count for that session?
High enough that if it was a drinking game my liver would have cried uncle.
Yup. Our intelligence agencies may not know it, but journalists know loose lips kill agents
💯💯
Alzheimer's is a pandemic in the Trump cabinet..
“An extraordinary breach of U.S. security is stunning security and intelligence veterans, after a journalist was added to a Trump administration group chat on Signal, where senior leaders discussed plans for a military strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen…”
Cue surprise witness Jeffrey Goldberg
These idiots think they can lie to people that actually can reason through things ….. just because this tactic works with their base doesn’t mean it will work with critical thinkers.
let’s see if someone hold them accountable.
Shave their heads and lock them up!
Damn. Being sent to thee principal's office so soon ?
The Republican Party has been denying reality for more than a decade now. Such that MAGAs online will blame this on Biden.
And the media won't counter it.
Lily Munster, 4 generations back, was more convincing.
Donald the wannabe dictator can’t even say it was a blunder. He is a weak pathetic excuse for a man. A third grader could answer that question. Imagine if our Republicans weren’t fu-KKK-ing traitors!!!
🛑 Stop this horrendous trump regime!! IMPEACH TRUMP!! It’s time to remove him and these idiots.
Tulsi Flabbard looks a little...high.
The old Washington two-step. It's a way of talking out of both sides of your mouth at once.
Moronfest 2025
Incompetent boobs.
Walk them all off the plank.
@ 2:08 minutes in....PANTS ON FIRE
Amen!
😂 we have new sad face emojis. So that’s something.
Oh yes they can! "Character matters" when it came to Clinton, but "he's chosen of God!" when it came to Trump. "Deficits matter!" when we are out of power, but "no they don't!" when we are in power. I could go on.
Two clowns sitting there lying to the American people with straight faces. Disgusting. MAGAs are incredibly stupid to support pathological liars.
I am sure that Goldberg would be happy to forward a copy of the entire chat to these people to show them they DID discuss details.
And then he gets to be the only one whisked off to El Salvador….
Tell Jeffery to release it all if it’s not classified.
Those leaks have the potential to affect the security of all Americans. Was someone in setting up that call half in the bag! America deserves an answer to that question.
Oh dear. Someone wasn't prepared for Houthi and the Blowback.
Of course they can. The gop have a true monopoly on hypocrisy.
Just like the Musk China war plans leak. If it isn't true how is it a leak?
Just arrest them now. They screwed up royally and are sitting here in front of a congressionsl panel lying their asses off. They should have been arrested yesterday.
By whom? The only arresting authority is DOJ. An organization wholly controlled by Putin. I mean, Trump. I mean, Musk. I mean, ... Uhhhhhh, Do we even know?
How DO they keep track of all of these lies?!? Is it a Musk software program, set up for sheer volume? Does AI churn them out for them? It’s a torrent of lawless gaslighting…😡
Don’t care because they know the felon is not going to do nothing to them! They know they’re safe they act nonchalant. They don’t give a fuck because they’re fine. Nothings going to happen to any of them.
This isn’t Burger King, Tulsi!
Next from MAGA: “It was part of full transparency and cleaning up the swamp. PS: But her emails…”
Politicians Really do talk out of both sides of their mouths. They are manipulative liars all of them. I don't even trust the "good" ones.
Don't let yourself get suckered into the false equivalency game It's a mass manipulation tactic. 'false equivalency' is what made Trump president.
Publish everything since not classified…….
Accountability anyone?
Bingo!
This may be a silly question, but why was Goldberg on Waltz’ contact list?
Not a silly question. It should be answered.
Having it both ways is their whole schtick!
Gabbard's such a s💩 bag too, and a #witch.
Evil American texting each how to kill others
A confederacy of dunces.
#LaughingStockOfTheWorld #IneptMorons
It's very hot in China now. Could this prompt them to take action that effects our national security? Did DNI watch project 2025 training film to eliminate all references to climate from all government reports
That is MAGA. Lie, lie, lie
The Trump administration taking responsibility for anything. 🤣
Warner you are a pussy...You need to meet them at their level and call them liars and incompetent morons straight to their faces...I mean look at Gabbard, she's laughing in your face, couldn't even be bothered...c'mon grow a spine!
Wasn't it also the hypocrites of this MAGA clan who wanted to lock up Hillary Clinton because she used a private email account? OK, in that case, everyone very loudly: "Look them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!..." 📣
IT WAS NOT A LEAK!!!!! #leak #signal #hegseth #war #musk #ssa #socialsecurity #trump
Do you think the reporter was in on it & released the story *now* intentionally?
Every battle is worth fighting. The distraction is not seeing battles through. Keep up the fight on every front. Give NO ground.
Pardons will follow soon along with a memo from NSA saying Signal is ok to use as long as OPSEC isn't breached.
There's several steps in that plan. You sure they'll get ALL of that? 😁 Their competence is limited. And their plans are not particularly adaptable.
Trump like using his pardon pen to give criminals a free ride. And not only will NSA reissue a bulletin I would bet Pete will declassify the information with a predated letter.
Yes, they can have it both and all ways apparently
🙏Senator Warner
This clown show of an administration will be the first in history needing to issue pardons for their top level cabinet officials within the first 100 days and every 100 days thereafter, because of the sheer audacity and level of their corruption, criminality, and inept idiocy. Expect more circus.
The look on their faces says it all.
"Willfully" using a non-government platform for Classified Information IS a Crime. "Inadvertently" disclosing Classified Information on a non-government platform IS NOT necessarily a Crime. One Guess as to what This Administration WILL claim? And If This Works...
When a judge ruled that FOX has no legal obligation to report the truth, that's all you need to know about FOX and its media ilk. Your oppression is their profession.
That’s how Trump and footmen play depending on which angle they want to spin it.
He's dealing with absolute children that are severely under qualified for any position, much less national security. A fucking embarrassment.
Exactly
Biggest national security crisis of the modern era and Fox News was doing this today....
“I ain’t paying for your pop”
not classified?...good, then Goldberg should publish the entire conversation/thread.
It mentions Europe too
It trashes them
That's exactly why he hasn't though, because he's not a traitor and he knows the truth of what happened. And also because he knows the brownshirts will come for him if he does.
"But you have to understand that that's the way Fox would let us tell it."
You HYPOCRITES!! It was definitely classified information. STOP GASLIGHTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. We can see what you’re doing. We are smart and know exactly what is happening. Start owning up to your messes and get rid of the Republican that is not up to their responsibilities of protecting USA.
If it's NOT a secret, does that mean The Atlantic can print the full transcript without repercussions? I assume that is a 'yes'. 😄👍
(Goldberg will not be embarrASSingly irresponsible or incompetent as this vile ignorant group!) This ignorant b++ch knows it was wrong! She needs to be reminded she did this!
I don’t recall
What a world-class shit-show
bsky.app/profile/adam...
Is a CIA director fit for the job if they can't remember things?
Uummmmmm... no. I got it right. I get a cookie.
It's the internet, we all get cookies! And free invites to Pentagon group chats!
American hubris with our allies isn't a good look. Evidently, they are all on board with a general move away from the NATO alliance.
Not sure anyone with such a bad memory should be in charge of anything!
You go, Mark! Using common sense and intelligence, novel idea. We need these bums to all be jailed!!!
Such lying sacks of shit! Gabbard looked like a deer in the headlights and Radcliffe is just a smarmy, self serving, lying piece of garbage! How is anybody in the world supposed to trust these people, and by extension, the US.
Ah but they can and will until somebody jails them.
Now that Gabbard and Ratcliffe have denied to Congress that any of the info shared on the Signal chat was classified, can Goldberg release the info he received to prove them liars? Or would Goldberg open himself to criminal charges?
Maybe the case of the Pentagon Papers is a good comparison here. Daniel Ellsberg, who took the documents and showed them to reporter Neil Sheehan, was charged under the Espionage Act. Sheehan, who copied the documents, which were published in the NY Times, was not.
Donny says he wasn’t there (golfing?) so didn’t know about it. Ratcliff says the Atlantic magazine has been against trump. Gabbard claims the type of phone she used is under audit. “It was a mistake,” said republicans.
Roy Cohn's rules: 1) attack, attack, attack; 2) admit nothing, deny everything; 3) no matter what, claim victory and never admit defeat. Trump certainly picked underlings who learn the rules fast.
The Suck and Blow administration.
That cat is definitely out of the bag! 🧌
CIA - Central Idiots Agency.
The Whitehouse version of "Who's on first?"
All these clips need to go on truth social. All of them
Exactly!
He was hot today. Also, How is it that you don't remember what was said on the Signal Chat, yet none provided a copy of the transcript. Was that a Republican decision? A lot of time was wasted with "I don't know" & "I can't recall". I thought I was back at an impeachment hearing for a few minutes!
If their memories are so poor, they’re not fit for their jobs.
Whilst they wait for the messages to auto delete first
Not classified? The Atlantic then has a go to print it all?
Control the press, Control the message, Continue the lies. Truth and honor don't matter to these maga christians.
This b**ch knows it was wrong! She needs to be reminded she did this!
Just fire them all and start over with people who have more than half a brain between them.
A Ping pong coverup
Exactly, if it's no big deal then publish the whole thread.
Expose this and don’t let up. We deserve due diligence. Our military deserves the dirty details and assurances that it won’t happen again. There HAS to be consequences. People must be fired. Do not let them sidestep this. History will show these times and how we reacted. Get tough. Do not cave.
Mass impeachment.
Democrats should have one message and NEVER stop harping on it. Hold pressers at least twice a day. Send all the best at media to do interviews relentlessly. Please call your members of Congress, write letters to the press demanding action. We can’t let this go.
All day every day
So basically, signal is similar to slack or teams. They are so fing stupid! Espionage!
When is some elected official going g to do their fuking jobs and fight for democracy and make an example out of these liars.
At a certain point, Gabbard and Ratcliffe appeared to shift to throwing Hegseth under the bus regarding the status of what was discussed on the chat. 🙂
The only answer that has it both ways is "It wasn't classified, but legally it should have been." He basically admitted that out loud, because there are no consequences.
Hire a Fox News weekend host and you get Fox News weekend host performance. Secretary of Defense is not a place for cartoony alpha males to learn a new skill.
I think this shot of Discount Cruella pretty much sums up the entire morass of this episode...
Gabard is tap dancing. Ratcliffe is twisting words. Our intelligence leaders' intelligence officials integrity is now completely questionable.
Ratcliffe, when asked by Ossoff if this Signal chat was a mistake said “No.” Unbelievable.
But they are! Nobody is doing anything about it!
Just a thought... MAGA is adamant that MERIT be the measure by which a person is qualified for their role. With this collosal, disgraceful, embarrassment, and traitoress act, do those on this chat line MERIT the need to continue their jobs? Does this MERIT the idea that they could keep America SAFE!
But they did get away with it, didn’t they?
Believe me 🤪
Put idiots into office and you will have idiots in office.
Trump can declassify it, just by thinking about it, so why doesn't he do that?
Warner has really taken a step up for my state of Virginia lately @markwarner.bsky.social keep it up, we count on you.
God they are so fucking pathetic. What did we, as normal fucking Americans, ever do to deserve this clown car of shitbags and dog turds!?!
We voted them in.
Well "we" didn't. But a small chunk of idiots in red states did with the help of Elon and voter suppression.
Well, we haven't prioritized (and in fact demonized) good education for the masses, our voter turn out is abysmal and we haven't fought The Citizens' United ruling in worthwhile ways. We've been too busy with Kardashia and Sportball and yeah, social media. We've lackadaised ourselves into shit.
Sadly you are 100% and then some!
I hate it 😭
We have taken a lot of shit for granted.
🎯🎯🎯
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👆👆👆👆👆
Another #Russian operative...almost 100% of #Republicans voted for this woman and all of 🍊s nominees which is why #America has to ##VoteBlue to get them out of the #Senate and #Congress
Stop saying anyone is stunned. We’re not. We’re done. Get them out of here.
They just can't say "I don't recall" - the thing is still on their bloody phones. No defense at all.
Gabbster sucking Oysters - Priceless
That moment you realize you’re not qualified for the job….🤣🤣🤣
Call your representatives and demand they demand resignations! www.usa.gov/elected-offi...
they looked like they’re annoyed to be there. tulsi’s face says she can’t be bothered.
Thus b**ch knows it was wrong! She needs to be reminded she did this!
thing is they don’t care. they’re shameless
This! They are talking out of both sides of their mouths. Completely unacceptable.
"Butthead and Beavis" moment 🤣🍸👍
Jail is too good for them.
@markwarner.bsky.social Thank you Senator Warner! Keep up the pressure.
They need to be charged and sentenced. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli... 11-16 years for a newbie so for their level... short drop quick stop?
No point in keeping him in prison now so do release him. Trumpie does not believe in national security.
Trump brought back the firing squad in 2020. Just saying...
Now I'm wondering how capitalism can make the firing squad even less humane the way it has prisons and lethan injection 🤔 Like watching the squad try to unjam their rifles while you slowly bleed from your stomach from the one that did hit.
Truly awesome
Gabbard should resign for this bs performance. At LEAST be good at lying if you’re not good at anything else.
After listening to all these republicans on this Hegseth security breach, these top security officials will continue to use SIGNAL discussing classified material. IRAN , RUSSIA, and CHINA are definitely listening. These stupid ass Republican idiots are going to get us all killed. WTF
If Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea weren't already looking at Signal, they sure are now.
That is literally the point. They can't just start killing us in the streets. Not right away, at least. They want a population of starving, stupid, slaves and soldiers. So what if we can't buy their shit. The world will, after some rebranding or outright extortion. It is a feature not a bug.
Exactly. Both sides of the mouth constantly speaking. Please keep attacking all they are doing, because all of it is wrong, incompetent and corrupt.
But her emails…..
Bizarre
Put up the chat group that they were in. See the deer in the headlights look come to pass. The, "Oh SHIT" they got me look. 🗽🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
bsky.app/profile/leco...
It's clear Trump has directed them to deny and deflect onto issues they're 'winning' on.. Talk about the border, fentanyl and illegal immigrants... all the puppets are currently on Fox and CNN parrotting the same spiel when asked to speak on the national security breach
The problem is that most of them are used to attention, ratings, fans and cannot keep anything a secret. Why Gabbard is On social media is beyond me.
She doesn't care about the US, she's a traitor 😤. They all are.
We are watching this with absolute incredulity here in the UK. Absolute 🤡 show
That’s the problem, they don’t have the experience to do what they do.
Of course it is. Other questions: How many times have you met this way? Who in the cabinet communicates this way? On which phones? Where were you when texting? Where are they stored? How was Hegseth’s data uploaded? They WANT to talk about if it’s classified. So talk about anything but that. DRILL
I would doubt that was the first time they were on Signal discussing secure things.
What were the good people of Hawaii thinking to have ever elected someone like Gabbard to the US Senate? We all need to demand that Russian influence is removed from our government.
FFS...She is in a cult. Who did you think she was? Someone not easily influenced?
House, not Senate. Specifically, HI-02, which is everything in Hawai'i except Honolulu.
I think she enlisted in the army specifically to build a resume for politics. She fooled the people of Hawaii when she ran for congress but they figured it out before the rest of us did. The bigger question is why did the Army reserve keep her when it became clear what she was?
Gabbard is the DNI and appointed by the president. Prior to that she was in office January 3, 2013 – January 3, 2021 as a congressional representive for Hawaii's 2nd District.
I stand corrected. A former congresswoman, not a senator. But still a Russian asset in the Krasnov administration. Working to betray America every day.
Hard Agree!
👍
That’s contempt of Congress and possibly Perjury.
This type of sensitive information is protected for good reasons. The military has to trust that our security isn't compromised. It can cost missions and lives. For the GOP to say it's no big deal tells me they are either incompetent or don't care. Someone needs to ask them which one it is.
The are having it both ways because they know it is impossible to hold them accountable if they hold steadfast to opposing and shifting excuses. How do you attack that in court?
If these people can’t recall what they talked about in a war plan meeting they had just a couple days ago, then they are not the right people to be planning wars.
This is known as "sassified" information It's a bit sassy about who it communciates with
duh.
I knew this would be their response and still they don’t get how ridiculous their defense is.
Great screen shot; captures just how miserable these soulless hacks both are.
If it's not classified then the texts can be released.
watch them have it both ways
My question is, who in the chat group had Goldberg as a contact. Someone's been talking to the press...
Bingo.
LOL, sure they will...good example of fascist minds at work...
Yes! Call it out. I am loving the energy that is growing
We have questions.
Irony just collided with Hypocrisy. They are on the way to Karmas.
Republicans can always have it both ways. It's their God given birthright.
Great job Sen. Warner!
Credulity, not credibility
Tulsi Gabbard said none of that was classified in the hearing today, he should go ahead and publish it.
Dumb and Dumber those stupid treasonous nazi faces are so punchable.
"It is, but it isn't - it simultaneously exists in 2 states of Reality!"
Schrondinger's text chain...
😆”I can’t recall”
This is exactly why she shouldn’t be in a position of leadership
it's a classic f'up, therefore classified
Glorious Leader declassified everything with his mind... although, of course, he also knew nothing about it and has never met Hegseth or Gabbard.
All they have to do is subpoena Jeffery Goldberg and his records.
I'm sure Mr Goldberg will be getting his phone confiscated by the FBI soonish.
Repubs would have to cooperate to do that. Dems can’t subpoena alone since not in majority
If they actually cared about national security, even Republicans could do the right thing for once. But they just care about staying in power.
Lock them up for Treason.
It’s beyond embarrassing. They act like five year olds who can lie their way out of getting caught raiding a cookie jar.
They act like people who know that so long as they don't say anything Trump will keep them. They don't care about the people, or what is proper.....its all about keeping on with Trump.
German media called them "teenager party" for a reason. Disgruntled teenagers playing at being adults and really really important and messing that up as their room.
When there’s a photo of their hand in the jar.
Blaming it on the journalist who did not put himself in the chat?!?!
They will get the full transcript. Then they will be held accountable...or should be...these days you never really know in the US.
Pretty sure the members of that Committee have clearances they should subpoena the chat transcript from the Atlantic.
"Dir. Gabbard, had Mr. Goldberg tweeted this information to the Houthis prior to the attack, would he be in prison right now?"
Is a CIA Operative's identity classified?
I sure would hope so. Especially if stationed overseas.
They would all fail Logic 101 class
Trump's regime all over, they want it both ways all the time. Under Biden the economy is everything, under Trump 'it doesn't matter' With Clinton it's 'her emails' under Trump it's a mere nothing
We SEE it. They cannot gaslight their way out of it
If they set in a congressional hearing it is not classified, publish them so we can see what Russia saw.
So. Bidens fault, but they got security in place, there was no classified information provided, but cannot provide any info on it (because none of it was saved of course, that is the reason they're using it)
