Don’t let SIGNALGATE fall off the radar… it was also all over the Sunday shows and he WANTS IT TO GO AWAY.

Signalgate is not going away until someone gets thrown under the bus. Until then it will be a 500lb octopus wrapped around Trump's face.

Let's hope enterprising journalists dig up more stuff. This is a gold mine that they should all still be searching in.

According to Keith Olberman, Waltz is leaking like a sieve to burn Hegseth and Gabbard...and to save himself.

It’s being implied that Houthi Signalgate was NOT the first misconstrued conversation on the Signal app…

Any chance the octopus will cut off his oxygen intake? I'm in for $15US if it does.

I saw a cartoon this morning showing the Simpson around his casket with April 12, 2025 as DOD(date of death - there’s a joke there somewhere!). The Simpson’s never lie! 🤞🤞 I am waiting for donuts to fall from the sky!

Signal gate has no “gate” until the Justice Department recognizes it and Trump’s tool, Pam Bondi, won’t do that.

Thanks, Congress, for screwing the pooch big time on THAT one.

It doesnʻt matter, we just need to keep the drumbeat going because it will make Trump crazier.

She may eventually be forced to act as elected Republicans become even more worried about the national security implications of the current amateurs. I'd expect a sham investigation that exonerates most of the players, but someone will be sacrificed to save the Dear Leader.

Yes, but they're t's choices. Congress okayed them. All are responsible.

Someone should be all of them! Chain of command would put vp as top watchdog so he should go and then downward from there. Waltz will be the easiest to let go to shut us up so that probably is what will happen.

I read last night that Trump said no one will be fired and that "the matter is closed."

I wish it were a literal octopus, Peter, with no nearby syncophants to help.

Remember when he gave out $1M checks in PA last November? Those were given to “qualified” people, too.

"A unanimous state Supreme Court on Sunday refused to hear a last-minute attempt by the state’s Democratic attorney general to stop Musk from handing over the checks to two voters, a ruling that came just minutes before the planned start of the rally." The thing is, the court doesn't have such a procedure. When someone announces the intent to commit a felony, you don't go to court asking for an injunction "don't do that": you arrest the felon in the act. Did Wisconsin not trust its state police?

I don’t know why a lot of people, including Krasnov, aren’t being arrested! Now apparently Hegseth brings his wife to top secret meetings because “she’s cool, she won’t tell anyone”!

The issuance of the check to an insider merits an investigation beyond the legality of the checks in general.

What are the odds that student will spend a big part of it recruiting new members? And won't have to worry about fees or student debt, so can avoid part time work and just work on this while phoning in enough uni work not to fail out of university.
