Can you at least say at this point that Goldberg was telling the truth and the Trump administration was lying? I mean he literally released the transcript of the conversation they claimed never happened.

I haven't read the transcript...

I will say he is telling the truth about being included in the message. I also agree that it is fucked up. It was also obvious that everybody was in cover your ass mode.

As I understood from what I've heard that Signal was an accepted method of encrypted communications and has also been used in past administrations. They need to NOT use this as a communication method in the future. I am glad that nothing bad happened to the mission or its participants.

Giant Fuck Up for many reasons.

Let me help - here is part of the transcript of the chat that Hegseth claims contained no war plans. It details the weapons to be used and the exact timing of an upcoming strike, just as Goldberg said.

Can we agree that Hegseth is lying?

They're only "war plans" when they come from a specific region of NoVA. Otherwise, they're just sparkling strategies.

God damn pcgeek88 you are a feckless idiot and laughably bad troll. It is the reporters fault he was included in a classified briefing on a platform that was not allowed to be used on private phones and he reported it?

You are magat fucktard of the first order 🫡

Not being an authority on the subject, I will say that it is a distinct possibility. Very stupid to have this conversation in the Signal App. More stupid to include a reporter from any news source.

Without a location or subject ( Target Terrorist ) is broad and could be anyone or group. Not sure how useful this information would be. Regardless it should have never taken place.

Where did you get this from?
I never said or implied anything of the sort.

Admit I never said it or link a quote of me saying it.

The rest of the transcript talks about how they are targeting a high value Houthi target. In fact it’s literally the name of the chat group, haha. If the Houthis had been alerted to this they certainly would have their top guys move, mix up their routine, etc.

There is simply no credible way to have a chat that directly states the targeted group, exactly when we are going to hit them, and with what, as anything but war plans.

Ha, there it is, figured the angle would be "this isn't really classified info".

If this is directed at me let me say that I didn't say that. What I said was this:

" Not being an authority on the subject, I will say that it is a distinct possibility."

I see PCGeek is going to play stupid today to excuse the absolute security breach on display (and the ongoing one being perpetrated by their reliance on Signal - this clearly isnt the first time they did this).

I hope he doesn't have shadow box proudly displayed at his house. Ex submariner knows better, but that's his game.

It is the biggest national security breach I can think of in a long time. At a minimum everyone involved should be fired and some of the participants prosecuted.

We might be lucky enough to get someone fired here but needless to say the Trump DOJ is not going to be interested in prosecuting any republicans.

That's not brainwashing, that's deliberate lying.
I would argue it takes one to faithfully commit to the other.
Also, the difference is rather academic.

The faithful zealots fight for their cheeto Jesus, and each other. To uphold the faith in the Church of MAGA.
While our Government, stuffed with his sycophants, acts like we have an Emperor. And the only law is what He™ says it is.

There was a very brief period the other year when I thought to myself, maybe there is hope for @pcgeek11 and I'm being too tough on him.

It was fleeting, and now I know why, every day he proves he is that exact piece of dishonest and immoral ight wing shit that I called him out on being.

The editor of Guns & Ammo just said they found out in a Yahoo Chat Room the imminent war plans by Hegseth and Rubio to invade Scotland, in order to secure their entire supply of Scotch.

The administration’s order for today is, “Lie like Trump.” Lie about everything, lie early, lie often, bury everything, everyone, everywhere in bullshit.
