Exactly and when this story first broke, Dump said he didn't know anything about it as always. Whenever he doesn't know anything, Fuckface the Last knows everything. Hoping heads will fly starting with Sieg Heil Hegseth and Waltz instead of the usual GOP sweep it under the rug bullshit.
how can a man supposed to be in charge not know anything about anything that occurred on his watch with so many ''i really don't know anything" about anything that may or may not have happened by someone he's never heard of or met before now? WOW!
oh that's right, the buck never stops with doughboy.
Keith, he doesn't know anything about what goes on. He abdicated his Presidency to Miller, Musk and all his sewer-clowns. All he does is play golf and sign whatever executive order someone wrote.
He was busy midnight texting about the artist who painted an ugly (he thinks) picture of him. Leave the poor president alone - he's got important stuff like that to worry about. And golf to cheat at.
Rick, did you ever watch the old tv series “Hogan’s Heroes”? There was a character on there, Sgt. Schultz, who always said “I hear nothing. I see nothing”.
I used to have a boss who, when we were behind on a project and couldn't tell the client, the boss would tell us, "If the client calls and you answer, you're Seargant Schultz."
I wish I could believe heads would roll but they won’t. Republicans will keep defending this administration and then hack the midterms to stay in power.
Did you all see the clip of mini-me Johnson standing next prez at mic when prez said he knew nothing about it and that Atlantic is a failing “magazine”? Mini-me truly looked like he was throwing up in his mouth. I ALMOST feel sorry for him.
Who will fire them? It won’t be Donald Drumpf. It won’t be Congress. The only possible positive outcome would be that they’d be charged by a non-corrupt federal prosecutor. I think there may still be some of those left that Drumpf hasn’t fired or bought yet.
It’s either plausible deniability. Or he’s lying his damn fool face off. Or the participants in this cabal think he’s too damn stupid to be trusted with the secrecy of planning this event.
Speaking of which, why wasn’t someone from the Joint Chiefs there? Centcom? Somebody with real military experience instead of the Secretary of DUI and the rest of the clown show?
You know, a lot of the firings of the first admin. came after he came out and proclaimed "full confidence in" whoever it was that f'd up. You never know. They'll probably get fired on X. Again.
Signalgate was all over Morning Joe today as well. I am in California and my partner always watches MJ, Hour 4 (6-7 am PT). Jeffrey Goldberg and Sen. Mark Warner were among the guests and the screen shots were fully displayed and analyzed. The scandal was discussed for the entire fourth hour and then carried over to Ana Cabrera’s show, which segued to Day 2 of the Congressional Intelligence Committee hearings with Gabbard, Ratcliffe and Patel. MSNBC ain’t letting go of this exploding story.
I’m sorry Mr Intel Chief, whoever the fuck you are; you can’t reason your way out of this by saying “everyone in the world uses the same weapon system” so it’s okay that our adversaries read our classified information! Either he’s a complete bozo, or Trump has a stronghold on his nuts!
I expected something like this to happen. Didn’t take long! The emojis are so ridiculous, and emblems of trivial non-intellects at work. I just didn’t think the apocalypse would be quite so tacky.
I watched the hearing yesterday and it was a hoot to see Kash Patel's face, sitting next to Gabbard. He looked like one of my cats being ambushed by another cat.
He always looks like that. Either he's perpetually scared or he's got some serious thyroid issues going on. But don't tell him - maybe he'll die young.
I don't think anyone knows what to do. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden should have shut this shitshow down before it started! We're going to have to fight magats to restore democracy... why didn't we get a head start on it before the china shop bull, Leon Skum caused chaos?
I thank Garland and Biden’s DOJ for dragging their feet. This would all be moot if turtle face McConnell went through with the impeachment. Yet another repug scumbag🤬
Not just that, but I am wondering why Goldberg's Signal number was on Waltz's phone in the first place? Has he been leaking? I know that a lot of journalists offer their Signal contact to be leaked to if people don't want others knowing what they are saying. Also, wondering how they knew to look at the Signal account of the French Scientist. I have not read a single explanation yet that does not raise red flags for me. Are they spying on foreign visitors? And then Dean Blundell and Zev Shalev said that the Trump administration is going to be asking Green card holders to share their social media private accounts to the government. Well, we saw what they did with the German green card holder. They tried to force him to give up his Green card for no reason that I can see. So, I assume that spying on everyone's Signal account is on the list.
Not being a Signal user, I just researched how the app group chat feature works. When scheduling a group chat, apparently all users with an active Signal account will pop up and can be invited. Jeffrey Goldberg confirmed on MSNBC last night that he has an account. When he first got the Michael Waltz chat invite, he thought it was a joke or scam, but curiosity won out, so he accepted it.
Others have questioned if Waltz meant to invite Jonah Goldberg and tapped the wrong JG account. (Jonah Jacob Goldberg is an American conservative journalist, author, and political pundit/commentator who was founding editor of National Review Online, from 1998 until 2019. He is author of The Dispatch, based in Washington DC, and writes a weekly column about politics and culture for the Los Angeles Times.)
I'll bet you're right! I was wondering the same thing and this seems to make a lot of sense. Carelessness. But....why would he have been inviting Jonah Goldberg, who, of course, is not a government employee and would have no business being on the call either.
Good question, Diane! Makes me wonder if the braggarts wanted to leak their big military accomplishment to the right-wing press, and whether this tactic has been used before.
Enlisting an "embedded journalist" who can shape their messaging, given Vance's issue about Trump needing maybe a month to persuade the public? An interview with Jonah Goldberg should be happening.
Yes, and as I recall, Jonah Goldberg is a conservative of the pre-2016 variety, not a MAGA, and hasn't exactly been a Trump cheerleader (which for Trump probably makes him worse than Jeffrey Goldberg.)
Just to add, you meant ppl who are already in your phone's address book, right. Signal doesn't auto-populate the entire user base of Signal. It syncs with your phone's contact list, so at one point Waltz had to have manually entered, or interacted with Goldberg somehow for him to be a contact.
Thanks, James. That makes sense. When I first saw Jeffrey Goldberg interviewed on MSNBC, he seemed quite surprised by Waltz’s invitation and thought it was a scam or a joke. It didn’t sound like they knew each other or had previously been in contact. Strange!
Right, Waltz invited him. So Waltz manually entered Goldberg into his contact list while sleepwalking? Or he entered any random number he came up with in his head and assigned it to the local Chinese food joint, and it just happened to be Goldberg's number? One of these assholes was sitting in the Kremlin with his unsecured phone while the emojii's were flying, so Putin was definitely in there lurking around too.
Goldberg says that he got the Signal add-to-contacts request from Waltz a good week before the Houthi group-chat, with no followup at that time. Perhaps Waltz had something he wanted to leak, but then he changed his mind and forgot he had Goldberg added to his contacts list?
Excellent point about the French scientist, Linda. I've been wondering that myself. As in, how would they know to examine his personal phone exchanges? Who issued the warrant, if there even was one (betting NOT)? The reading of those exchanges would have had to have been done before he checked in at Passport Control, so how and why would that have been done? Why was the guy singled out? It's all fishy as hell.
Oh don’t you worry! They will. The likes of MTG probably have already decided that a guy with a name like Goldberg had to have bern paid by George Soros to hack his way into the group text. I mean, if we can burn down the California forests with our space lasers, hacking into a text should be easy-peasy. And then, they’ll arrest him for spreading classified information. That is, if Trump’s “patriots” don’t try to get to him first.
Classified information??? But yesterday they swore up and down it wasn't classified... They'll admit they were wrong? I can't wait for the DNI to admit that! Let's get some experts to say it should have been classified. You know, former heads of the CIA, Austin, etc.
Haven’t you learned yet? Wearing a red hat made in China, is the best way to spread.the disease of selective amnesia. Somehow Bill Gates and George Soros made amnesia a contagious disease.
The bizarre part of that whole thing? She's so fucking mind-numbingly stupid she liked, and reposted that meme without even realizing the Rothschilds are Jewish, that's why she said she never said "Jewish space lasers" because she never put the rampant anti-semitism rant together. She thought it was just some conspiracy theory about democrats, so she agreed with it.
That would suck! Goldberg did the right thing here. He could’ve sat on this info and written a book about it later making gobs of money like numerous people in trump one did.
Sadly, jeff, you are more than right. Its more likely that Goldberg is going to face bullshit more than DrunkSeth and IdiWaltz will ever face any retribution.
Goldberg contacted ALL of these agencies yesterday telling them he would be publishing this stream and not one of them got back to him except KKKaroline reiterated to him that Trump said there wasn't any classified info in it so he published. He did his due diligence, and the incompetent Trump admin was too busy to reply and stop him. He's a hero and they are unqualified cosplayers.
Hegseth, Trump, Watters at Fox, et al. didn't waste any time blowing the MAGA dog whistles to focus public hostility on Goldberg instead of themselves. It was the second most nauseating spectacle in this shit show., and there were many.
Hegseth and Waltz are both dead men walking. Only shit stains vanity and preening egotism have let them stay this long because he so hates to be proven wrong about his hiring choices. But eventually his own belief in his manufactured tough Boss image will win out and it’s you’re fired time for these two Losers.
IDK, it could go either way. He has great love of Hegseth. He is Trump's strong man with bulging biceps and with tears in his eyes meme. Also, he abuses women so that's another point in his favor. I think Drumpf will keep him. We need an office pool...
I wouldn’t go so far to say this was the largest leak. And it really wasn’t all that sensitive, it’s the fact that these high officials were so cavalier in their broadcast of the chat and that is worrisome because who knows what kind of highly secret data they have been tossing around the past two months.
And now ‘Der Spiegal’ the noted German magazine has reported that they were able to ferret out phone numbers, user names and even passwords of some of the same group , including Gabbard, Waltz and piss drunk Pete himself.
This clown show has turned into a total security meltdown by the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.
Yeah, none of these so-called professionals said, "Hey, do you think maybe we should have this conversation on secure devices or in a SCIF?" Did they want to make sure the record would be destroyed, or is it just their habit to use Signal for everything?
Scholar of authoritarians Ruth Ben-Ghiat points out it’s typical that autocrats choose incompetent subordinates. They will easier to control because they depend on the boss for their status.
Only for the gazillionaires, Doc. The rest of us will be needed to pay the gas bill if the pentagon expects to keep all that expensive machinery operational.
I just learned that Tesla paid $0.00 in federal taxes last year. And received a huge check from the govt for all the carbon credits they got from the big three automakers.
Evidently 43% of Tesla’s income was from selling their carbon credits. It’s another well intentioned idea turned into another scam by the govt. available only to the well connected.
Sure, if the Republicans control the government forever, or cancel elections. Despite the fever-dreams rampant online, I don't believe either is going to happen.
Of course they will try to prosecute him.It’s how they roll.It’s NEVER their fault.Little Donnie F F will also probably say he doesn’t know Goldberg and has never heard his name.
Happy to report that it's getting good media coverage abroad. Lead article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung and on Deutsche Welle. Thanks for being so candid about your hatred of Europe, guys!
The other day I half-jokingly texted that they'd find some way to BLAME THE JEWS. Hey dudes, I was being sarcastic. But it is getting around that time of the year where we bake matzoh using all kinds of unholy ingredients. Ironic that "sleazebag" Jeffrey Katz was pretty much the ONLY guy on the thread who acted with a sense of restraint, propriety and decorum. Someone reanimate Jack D. Ripper.
Because the trumpers don't do irony, they really man arrest Goldberg for spreading classified material- even after the blonde creep at the podium stated clearly: NO CLASSIFIED MATERIALS! Between the Mar-a-lago bathroom with all the classified materials (that I still believe he made millions off of selling the info to Putin and others) and the appointment of known Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, I imagine that not one legitimate government in the world will trust these guys- EVER. In some ways, Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and other places may be grateful that this happened so early in trump's destruction of the federal government, because they now have incontrovertible proof that they can't trust these guys with information they don't want to share with the world.
he got lots of cash for letting all the foreign agents into the bathroom at Mar-a-lago, no doubt. Why would he have stolen all those documents if he didn’t want to monetize them?- and that is what he likely did.
I received a group text once and immediately texted back to the sender: Please remove me from this thread. It was about coordinating to go to Jazz by the Bay in Sausalito last summer. Fortunately, Goldberg is smarter than I am and could keep up.
I guess what really blows me away is the blatant lying. At what point will this catch up to them? It's OBVIOUS that they are all lying. There's actual PROOF they are lying. And at our peril. Is there no Republican who can understand that this is a dangerous situation for only us poor rubes, but also for them??? America is becoming more unstable by the hour.
Lying is the essence of the Trump administration. It’s Fox’s job to polish the turds sufficiently to satisfy the limited curiosity and critical thinking skills of their audience.
Why is anyone ever surprised that the first reaction to any problem with those idiots is to lie fabulously? The more egregious the screw-up, the faster the lies flow and the more ridiculous it all becomes. They still think that the policy of "dazzling them with footwork", works. Hint: it works only on gullible morons already on your side who really, really want to believe it.
It all starts with dumbing down education. That started with Reagan and finally success; the DOE is being gutted. I did not know that the DOE first started in the 70’s when poor states couldn’t afford to educate students and southern states had to have rules and regulations in place to treat students equally. Funny, not ha ha funny, all the states needing help were and still are red. Go figure!
It's okay, they'll have no money, the climate will collapse, and they'll starve to death. Of course, I don't live in a red state, so I don't expect to have to see this.
What really blows ME away is not the blatant lying; it's the number of Republican and independent voters who will say, "But Democrats lie tons, too! What about covering up Biden's senility and the COVID lab leak?!? And Pizzagate?!? BoTh SiDeS bAd!!111!!1eleventy!!!"
I don't know, Susan, but if they can still say with a straight face that January 6th was: a) a peaceful protest and/or faked by Antifa and the FBI; or b) that tRumPutin actually did win in 2020 - BY A LOT- then I'm pretty sure they will be easy to convince of absolutely anything.
The problem with liars like these is that they actually believe the lies. There's not one person with integrity in that group of loose cannons and eventually this will get swept the rest of the way under the rug. If they want to go after Goldberg they'll have to admit that the plans were actually transmitted, which, of course, they were. It's such a large number of gaslighters that they should go up in flames. But they won't. Because they won't.
I’m not so sure they really believe the lies they are telling, Jan. They just live in a MAGATY fantasy space where alternative facts are a way of life.
What if Mitch The Turtle McConnell had done the right thing and voted to impeach the Bloated Yam of Scam? Would we be in the world of shit we are now?
Stop insulting turtles, Walt ! They are wise and wonderful survivors. I am the servant of a very bossy tortoise, and have lived with turtles and torts most of my life. McConnell is lower than slug shit.
I’m at a loss as to why anyone thinks “National Security” is important anymore.
In his first term, the individual the US elevated to “President” had Manafort provide election data to his Russian handler, directed Flynn to subvert President Obama’s sanctions on Russia related to Putin’s annex of Crimea and election interference, shared classified material with the Russian Ambassador, attempted to blackmail an ally, abandoned other allies, and after losing an election incited an attack on Congress while stealing classified materials and storing them in his bathroom.
For his second crime wave he appoints an inexperienced alcoholic Fox News host to be Secretary of Defense, a Russian sympathizer to become the Director of National Intelligence, a Q-Anon conspiracy loon to run the FBI, and “Bribe Me” Barbie to run the DOJ.
And all this while a South African billionaire imbecile has unleashed a team of DOGE treason monkeys on private IRS, Social Security and other systems with previously secure personal information of hundreds of millions of US citizens.
Sad truths George…The moment SCOTUS says that one person is above the law, we no longer have the rule of law. The moment we no longer have the rule of law, we cease to exist as any kind of republic!!
THIS!👆👆👆👆 I have my outlets. One is here every morning! (Today Jeff was late according to my PST read! I wondered if he was “disappeared!”😳) The others are Heather Cox Richardson on Letters from an American on Substack and Colbert and Kimmel. Otherwise I would be crazy or crying nonstop. I can’t get over the fact that we can’t seem to do anything about trump and his goons! He has infected the entire world; our allies in Europe, Ukraine, Panama, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Mexico. He has his fingers in El Salvador, Venezuela, Yemen, Gaza, Israel and I could go on. Now this! And it will be lied away or investigated to death until it becomes old news because there will be more and more fuck ups to deal with. Nothing will be done. It seems highly unreasonable. Are we heading back to Hitler’s Germany? Or maybe worse?
It certainly appears to be the case Kay, our billionaire overlords are seizing the country from our government. The money appropriated by congress is now being funneled into the Uber wealthiest pockets…all “we the serfs can do is to protest and call our duly elected. Unless We the Serfs organize a modern day revolution, our republic is toast!!
My comment on Farcebork, where I know a few MAGA family members lurk:
If you haven't figured out yet that these people in charge of keeping the goddamn country safe from all threats, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC are mind-blowingly incompetent, ask your smartphone-nuk-nukking tween or teen how fucking ignorantly STUPID one has to be to do this, and admit you're in a cult of Breathtaking Dumbassery.
Right now, the worst and most damaging group of terrorists ever faced by the US, is actually pretending to be "the Most Patriotic Americans Ever" - AND running the country! -- while they dismantle it, and turn it over to Russia and China.
I was at Fort Monmouth, NJ in 1964, a major crypto teaching Post at the time.
If any one of us had released the type of information that Hegseth gave to Goldberg, we would have been arrested, subjected to a Courts-Martial, convicted, and sent to Leavenworth Kansas.
The immediate danger from this breach has to be to our military and top officials (at least the ones we can trust), but it I don't think it stops there. The breach has put everyone of us at increased risk.
Everyone involved in that text thread ought to resign or be fired, but we know that will never happen. And yet they made a huge case out of every non-issue during the Obama and Biden administrations. These Putin-loving, incompetent fuckwit trumphumpers are a clear and present danger to our nation and the entire Party of Putin won't stand up for America. Traitors.
Just like how all those immigrant people taking everyone's jobs are also sitting around doing nothing while collecting welfare
AND
Joe Biden was so old and sleepy he couldn't do anything when it came to running the country, yet he was this genius evil mastermind who headed up every way possible to take down trump.
I prefer a government that hires competent (and sober) people, that don't have to "learn a lesson" before not endangering our troops or doing something like, oh, say, starting WW III.
Oh man, Putin and Xi must be sitting back in bed, smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile watching this 88-ring circus play out. Just complete clownshoes.
Highly recommend folks go on YouTube and check out the Bulwarks interview/chat with Jeff Goldberg. Quite enlightening.
He actually thought he was being punked or scammed when he got the invite to Signal chat from Walz. And when he was added to the group chat he thought he really WAS being punked.
It's a great insight to how the wannabe mob soldiers are trying to cover up why they were on Signal in the first place.
Which BTW, is because it avoids the LAWS covering retention of government communications.
It makes you wonder how many times this group (minus Goldberg) has used Signal to discuss intelligence data, and what countries hacked into the conversation.
Initial denial from Bloated Yam of Scam. which is standard for him: "I don't know anything about that. Never heard of Hooties. They, they, no hits since a long time. Before, they uh, the Blowfish, they did before but not lately. Uh, . . ."
AAAAAARGH. It’s not just that they included someone in the chat who shouldn’t have been included (Goldberg), it’s that they were using their personal devices on an unsecured platform. Jeffrey Goldberg? They were lucky it was he. We don’t know, yet, who may have intercepted the messages. Tulsi was in India and another was in Moscow. So there ya go.
I didn't want to get into this in my post, but I wouldn't be surprised if they try to come up with a bullshit reason to prosecute Goldberg
In the criminal’s mind, the murder would have been perfectly legal if only the witness had kept his fucking mouth shut.
Exactly and when this story first broke, Dump said he didn't know anything about it as always. Whenever he doesn't know anything, Fuckface the Last knows everything. Hoping heads will fly starting with Sieg Heil Hegseth and Waltz instead of the usual GOP sweep it under the rug bullshit.
how can a man supposed to be in charge not know anything about anything that occurred on his watch with so many ''i really don't know anything" about anything that may or may not have happened by someone he's never heard of or met before now? WOW!
oh that's right, the buck never stops with doughboy.
CALL KELLYANNE she kan fix it!
Keith, he doesn't know anything about what goes on. He abdicated his Presidency to Miller, Musk and all his sewer-clowns. All he does is play golf and sign whatever executive order someone wrote.
I genuinely don't miss Ms. Alternative Facts.
He was busy midnight texting about the artist who painted an ugly (he thinks) picture of him. Leave the poor president alone - he's got important stuff like that to worry about. And golf to cheat at.
Rick, did you ever watch the old tv series “Hogan’s Heroes”? There was a character on there, Sgt. Schultz, who always said “I hear nothing. I see nothing”.
Still watch it. Sgt. Schultz was a great character unlike this lying felon we have to put up with.
I used to have a boss who, when we were behind on a project and couldn't tell the client, the boss would tell us, "If the client calls and you answer, you're Seargant Schultz."
I wish I could believe heads would roll but they won’t. Republicans will keep defending this administration and then hack the midterms to stay in power.
With Elon's help. Like last time.
True but he’s apparently sleeping on the job because two dems won in PA state races yesterday.
Nothing to do with the Ketamine Kid. Pennsylvanians are pissed with all this Donny&Co shit happenin’. Hope it keeps up!
Did you all see the clip of mini-me Johnson standing next prez at mic when prez said he knew nothing about it and that Atlantic is a failing “magazine”? Mini-me truly looked like he was throwing up in his mouth. I ALMOST feel sorry for him.
Naw. Who an I kidding?
'I know nothing about that....."
Never will happen. The right wing screech monkeys are already spewing “alternate” facts
I'll only believe he didn't know when he fires everyone on that call.
Ditto Rick, dubious of any actual action taken by our duly elected!
Who will fire them? It won’t be Donald Drumpf. It won’t be Congress. The only possible positive outcome would be that they’d be charged by a non-corrupt federal prosecutor. I think there may still be some of those left that Drumpf hasn’t fired or bought yet.
It’s either plausible deniability. Or he’s lying his damn fool face off. Or the participants in this cabal think he’s too damn stupid to be trusted with the secrecy of planning this event.
Speaking of which, why wasn’t someone from the Joint Chiefs there? Centcom? Somebody with real military experience instead of the Secretary of DUI and the rest of the clown show?
You know, a lot of the firings of the first admin. came after he came out and proclaimed "full confidence in" whoever it was that f'd up. You never know. They'll probably get fired on X. Again.
Don tRumploni knows everything going on in his gang of twits.
Like Felonious Trump saying that Covid-19 will go away if we stop testing for it.
Same sad story, different day Mary…a criminal syndicated president, hires nothing but likeyes men!!
No, no. He meant we won't know we have it if we don't have any positive results. And, I suppose, are using Ivermectin and bleach.
That’s one of my favorites 🤓
Waiting for the inevitable committee hearing, which the Clown Car Brigade will inevitably fuck up. Goldberg has the receipts.
Dems are already showing the newly-published screen shots in a congressional hearing this morning

Porque no los dos?
^^^This, ever so much this!
Both.
Both reasons, or both nuts?
Yes.
I expected something like this to happen. Didn’t take long! The emojis are so ridiculous, and emblems of trivial non-intellects at work. I just didn’t think the apocalypse would be quite so tacky.
We have Homer Simpson in charge of national security and as the Sec Def.
More "DOH!" than "DEI!"
Excellent call!
Perfectly said Natalie!
Sleeping on the job. What a bunch of no-nothing amateurs!
I watched the hearing yesterday and it was a hoot to see Kash Patel's face, sitting next to Gabbard. He looked like one of my cats being ambushed by another cat.
Except your cats are so much smarter!
I can watch cat antics all day. I can tolerate looking at Kash for about 3 seconds.
That’s two more seconds than I can! Agree about the cats.
He always looks like that. Either he's perpetually scared or he's got some serious thyroid issues going on. But don't tell him - maybe he'll die young.
😂😂😂
The oppo will go with the "lyin' eyes" explanation.
I’ve said this a gazillion times, when will this charade of an administration be stopped? Please, do it yesterday 🙏🏻
I don't think anyone knows what to do. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden should have shut this shitshow down before it started! We're going to have to fight magats to restore democracy... why didn't we get a head start on it before the china shop bull, Leon Skum caused chaos?
I thank Garland and Biden’s DOJ for dragging their feet. This would all be moot if turtle face McConnell went through with the impeachment. Yet another repug scumbag🤬
And NOTHING will happen
And of course, I hope Mr. Goldberg has security.
I feel for him and his wife and 3 children, too. They all need to be in a nondisclosed location.
I would hope he does too.
I hope he also has a good lawyer. They’re going to try to somehow blame this on him.
They already have. They're acting like he hacked into the signal chat, rather than that it was sent to him.
No kidding!
After having his name dragged through the swamp, he better!
Did you get my message replying to your request? It's fine to message me.
Hey Deborah… I dont think I did…. lemme look again!
Not just that, but I am wondering why Goldberg's Signal number was on Waltz's phone in the first place? Has he been leaking? I know that a lot of journalists offer their Signal contact to be leaked to if people don't want others knowing what they are saying. Also, wondering how they knew to look at the Signal account of the French Scientist. I have not read a single explanation yet that does not raise red flags for me. Are they spying on foreign visitors? And then Dean Blundell and Zev Shalev said that the Trump administration is going to be asking Green card holders to share their social media private accounts to the government. Well, we saw what they did with the German green card holder. They tried to force him to give up his Green card for no reason that I can see. So, I assume that spying on everyone's Signal account is on the list.
Not being a Signal user, I just researched how the app group chat feature works. When scheduling a group chat, apparently all users with an active Signal account will pop up and can be invited. Jeffrey Goldberg confirmed on MSNBC last night that he has an account. When he first got the Michael Waltz chat invite, he thought it was a joke or scam, but curiosity won out, so he accepted it.
Others have questioned if Waltz meant to invite Jonah Goldberg and tapped the wrong JG account.

The thick plottens! 🤔
I'll bet you're right! I was wondering the same thing and this seems to make a lot of sense. Carelessness. But....why would he have been inviting Jonah Goldberg, who, of course, is not a government employee and would have no business being on the call either.
Good question, Diane! Makes me wonder if the braggarts wanted to leak their big military accomplishment to the right-wing press, and whether this tactic has been used before.
Enlisting an "embedded journalist" who can shape their messaging, given Vance's issue about Trump needing maybe a month to persuade the public? An interview with Jonah Goldberg should be happening.
Yes, and as I recall, Jonah Goldberg is a conservative of the pre-2016 variety, not a MAGA, and hasn't exactly been a Trump cheerleader (which for Trump probably makes him worse than Jeffrey Goldberg.)
Maybe they were going for Jeff Goldblum? Who knows?
Oh, thats juicy. I need to take a look into that. Punkette, you rock.
Thanks, Wendy! Enquiring minds need to know 😉
Myself, I was wondering if Waltz was a "Jurassic Park" fan - and meant to invite Jeff Goldblum.
…Or a fan of Dumb And Dumber trying to invite Jeff Daniels.
Just to add, you meant ppl who are already in your phone's address book, right. Signal doesn't auto-populate the entire user base of Signal. It syncs with your phone's contact list, so at one point Waltz had to have manually entered, or interacted with Goldberg somehow for him to be a contact.
Thanks, James. That makes sense. When I first saw Jeffrey Goldberg interviewed on MSNBC, he seemed quite surprised by Waltz’s invitation and thought it was a scam or a joke. It didn’t sound like they knew each other or had previously been in contact. Strange!
😂😂
The first thing to cross my mind is that this was a deliberate leak by one of the legitimate invitees. Any guesses?
Right, Waltz invited him. So Waltz manually entered Goldberg into his contact list while sleepwalking? Or he entered any random number he came up with in his head and assigned it to the local Chinese food joint, and it just happened to be Goldberg's number? One of these assholes was sitting in the Kremlin with his unsecured phone while the emojii's were flying, so Putin was definitely in there lurking around too.
A deliberate leak by a patriotic underling. That’s my optimism showing.
Cautious Optimism. I think is what you meant to say there.
Nah, but we can dream, can't we?
Goldberg says that he got the Signal add-to-contacts request from Waltz a good week before the Houthi group-chat, with no followup at that time. Perhaps Waltz had something he wanted to leak, but then he changed his mind and forgot he had Goldberg added to his contacts list?
Not to a liberal publication like The Atlantic.
Excellent point about the French scientist, Linda. I've been wondering that myself. As in, how would they know to examine his personal phone exchanges? Who issued the warrant, if there even was one (betting NOT)? The reading of those exchanges would have had to have been done before he checked in at Passport Control, so how and why would that have been done? Why was the guy singled out? It's all fishy as hell.
Poignant Linda!!
How long now until his life is in danger? Yesterday?
Yeah, hope he’s got a nice security detail
Oh don’t you worry! They will. The likes of MTG probably have already decided that a guy with a name like Goldberg had to have bern paid by George Soros to hack his way into the group text. I mean, if we can burn down the California forests with our space lasers, hacking into a text should be easy-peasy. And then, they’ll arrest him for spreading classified information. That is, if Trump’s “patriots” don’t try to get to him first.
"We're arresting you for spreading classified information we all swore wasn't classified"?
Love THAT paradox!
Signal app is one of the most hacked by foreign governments, per intel reports!!
You’d think one of those numb nuts security folks would have known about Signal’s reputation as being easily hackable! Holy crow!
They’re all a bunch of incompetents. Trump has outdone himself in choosing such ignorant amateurs this time around.
Classified information??? But yesterday they swore up and down it wasn't classified... They'll admit they were wrong? I can't wait for the DNI to admit that! Let's get some experts to say it should have been classified. You know, former heads of the CIA, Austin, etc.
War plans are always classified Top Secret ltbw… War Plan Red wasn’t declassified for decades!!
Haven’t you learned yet? Wearing a red hat made in China, is the best way to spread.the disease of selective amnesia. Somehow Bill Gates and George Soros made amnesia a contagious disease.
The bizarre part of that whole thing? She's so fucking mind-numbingly stupid she liked, and reposted that meme without even realizing the Rothschilds are Jewish, that's why she said she never said "Jewish space lasers" because she never put the rampant anti-semitism rant together. She thought it was just some conspiracy theory about democrats, so she agreed with it.
Feels like years.
Exactly
Damn it JEFF - I've been saying that since yesterday morning - on your post even! 😏
And you complain about the Wonkette!
Anyway, yes, I hope Jeff Goldberg has some good lawyers lined up.
Good luck with that, since all the experienced legal firms are getting their balls cut off by trump's executive orders.
Who’s left, that’s going to be brave enough after Donnie’s list of judicial and legal charges Chris!!
The main protection against such prosecutions would be that they would have to persuade twelve jurors.
I think I've been persuaded already, Bob, but who knows what could come up in the trial that could change my mind...
That would suck! Goldberg did the right thing here. He could’ve sat on this info and written a book about it later making gobs of money like numerous people in trump one did.
Sadly, jeff, you are more than right. Its more likely that Goldberg is going to face bullshit more than DrunkSeth and IdiWaltz will ever face any retribution.
Goldberg contacted ALL of these agencies yesterday telling them he would be publishing this stream and not one of them got back to him except KKKaroline reiterated to him that Trump said there wasn't any classified info in it so he published. He did his due diligence, and the incompetent Trump admin was too busy to reply and stop him. He's a hero and they are unqualified cosplayers.
I think you are not wrong about that opinion, Jayme.
Hegseth, Trump, Watters at Fox, et al. didn't waste any time blowing the MAGA dog whistles to focus public hostility on Goldberg instead of themselves. It was the second most nauseating spectacle in this shit show., and there were many.
Hegseth and Waltz are both dead men walking. Only shit stains vanity and preening egotism have let them stay this long because he so hates to be proven wrong about his hiring choices. But eventually his own belief in his manufactured tough Boss image will win out and it’s you’re fired time for these two Losers.
IDK, it could go either way. He has great love of Hegseth. He is Trump's strong man with bulging biceps and with tears in his eyes meme. Also, he abuses women so that's another point in his favor. I think Drumpf will keep him. We need an office pool...
And don't forget the manly (not gang) tattoos.
BUT: He doesn't like drinkers and alcohol. So..How to square the circle?
Hate to say this Ole, Trump will rub his hands together and the largest intelligence leak in our history will be washed away!!
I wouldn’t go so far to say this was the largest leak. And it really wasn’t all that sensitive, it’s the fact that these high officials were so cavalier in their broadcast of the chat and that is worrisome because who knows what kind of highly secret data they have been tossing around the past two months.
And now ‘Der Spiegal’ the noted German magazine has reported that they were able to ferret out phone numbers, user names and even passwords of some of the same group , including Gabbard, Waltz and piss drunk Pete himself.
This clown show has turned into a total security meltdown by the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.
Goldberg saved their asses and, of course, he is the one who’s life will be ruined by them.
I'm astonished at the degree of fecklessness these guys show. Where did Trump find them all, and what sort of magnet draws them together.
Easy. Trump is the shit that draws flies. They've found their king.
Spot on, Sharon! 👍🏼
Nicely said Sharon!!
It's not astonishing, it's chilling to see this Fascist agenda rolled out unimpeded
It's classic and by the book
It’s obvious to me that this isn’t the first time this happened… Trump made millions in his first term, anyone?
Yeah, none of these so-called professionals said, "Hey, do you think maybe we should have this conversation on secure devices or in a SCIF?" Did they want to make sure the record would be destroyed, or is it just their habit to use Signal for everything?
Really? The people on the conversation would have said "What's a SCIF?"
The question of whether or not , this was a successful setup in the destruction of this Republic is valid!!
Immaturity and vast stupidity. Combined they are a magnet that even works when wet.
Ya gotta go down to the Loser Store, Terry. Trump has an account there.
No doubt that they will. 🤬
Goldberg gonna be audited for the rest of his life by the IRS. Unless the wingnuts eliminate the IRS.
Which they will be doing. Loyalty is not competency.
Scholar of authoritarians Ruth Ben-Ghiat points out it’s typical that autocrats choose incompetent subordinates. They will easier to control because they depend on the boss for their status.
His Hinkyness Yamtits the first has already told Nosferatu to Make It So!
Only for the gazillionaires, Doc. The rest of us will be needed to pay the gas bill if the pentagon expects to keep all that expensive machinery operational.
I just learned that Tesla paid $0.00 in federal taxes last year. And received a huge check from the govt for all the carbon credits they got from the big three automakers.
Evidently 43% of Tesla’s income was from selling their carbon credits. It’s another well intentioned idea turned into another scam by the govt. available only to the well connected.
And paid for by Us.
Hl2, hows that gonna happen with a gutted IRS. Shutting down the government means a government that cant do much.
I agree completely. Any nut who advocates for eliminating the IRS is delusional, yet there are many in the Party of Putin that have stated that idea
Sure, if the Republicans control the government forever, or cancel elections. Despite the fever-dreams rampant online, I don't believe either is going to happen.
Of course they will try to prosecute him.It’s how they roll.It’s NEVER their fault.Little Donnie F F will also probably say he doesn’t know Goldberg and has never heard his name.
He’s already called him a sleazebag, a word which should Never come out of the mouth of any President.
Even a low class sleazebag like trump
Remember, when Felon47 is pointing his tiny finger of accusation, three fingers of his are pointed right back at himself.
Indeed!
Happy to report that it's getting good media coverage abroad. Lead article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung and on Deutsche Welle. Thanks for being so candid about your hatred of Europe, guys!
The other day I half-jokingly texted that they'd find some way to BLAME THE JEWS. Hey dudes, I was being sarcastic. But it is getting around that time of the year where we bake matzoh using all kinds of unholy ingredients. Ironic that "sleazebag" Jeffrey Katz was pretty much the ONLY guy on the thread who acted with a sense of restraint, propriety and decorum. Someone reanimate Jack D. Ripper.
‘You gonna show them the Big Board!?! You can’t show them the Big Board!!!!’
"No fighting in the War Room!"
😂😂😂😂 I can recite large parts of that movie by memory.
Because the trumpers don't do irony, they really man arrest Goldberg for spreading classified material- even after the blonde creep at the podium stated clearly: NO CLASSIFIED MATERIALS! Between the Mar-a-lago bathroom with all the classified materials (that I still believe he made millions off of selling the info to Putin and others) and the appointment of known Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, I imagine that not one legitimate government in the world will trust these guys- EVER. In some ways, Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and other places may be grateful that this happened so early in trump's destruction of the federal government, because they now have incontrovertible proof that they can't trust these guys with information they don't want to share with the world.
Whatever happened to those boxes of documents?
he got lots of cash for letting all the foreign agents into the bathroom at Mar-a-lago, no doubt. Why would he have stolen all those documents if he didn’t want to monetize them?- and that is what he likely did.
Exactly
That's what I'm waiting for. They desperately need to deflect attention, and they have hated Goldberg for a long time.
They definitely will, they are like the arsonist who angrily demands to know who called the fire Dept.
I received a group text once and immediately texted back to the sender: Please remove me from this thread. It was about coordinating to go to Jazz by the Bay in Sausalito last summer. Fortunately, Goldberg is smarter than I am and could keep up.
"Pete’s in charge of bringing the kegs." 😂
I guess what really blows me away is the blatant lying. At what point will this catch up to them? It's OBVIOUS that they are all lying. There's actual PROOF they are lying. And at our peril. Is there no Republican who can understand that this is a dangerous situation for only us poor rubes, but also for them??? America is becoming more unstable by the hour.
The name Hegseth will become synonymous with drunk, stupid and reckless.
I’d like to see it catch on like “Santorum” did.
And MUDD.
Looking forward to “Drunken Pete” Halloween costumes.
Just add a hand full of hair gel. You got a complete costume. Suit jacket with a flag lining. Puke!
And you can put all his white nationalist tattoos on a t shirt under the open jacket.
His personal favorite Trump face on his butt. The anal orifice as his mouth. Love the name "Ole" stand strong. We are in this quagmire together.
Well played Walt!!😂
😂😂😂
When his kids grow up, they should change their last name. Same w/Dumps grandchildren. 🙄
I think it is already
A drink will be named after him. “Bartender, I’ll have a Hegseth!”
HA! Now, figure out what's in the drink. Cant be anything too posh... maybe this: https://rotgutwhiskey.com HAHA!
Lying is the essence of the Trump administration. It’s Fox’s job to polish the turds sufficiently to satisfy the limited curiosity and critical thinking skills of their audience.
You can't actually polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter 💩✨️
Or spray paint it gold.
Drump will start selling that to his rubes
Shhhhh.... he probably will. 😂😂😂
Trump turds!
You can count on it.
✨This is my new favorite smart ass reply! Thank you for the inspo! 🤭🤣✨ Brilliant!!
😂😂😂
Or bedazzle it very carefully.
Oh my my Kristy!!
🤪😂
Bingo !
Why is anyone ever surprised that the first reaction to any problem with those idiots is to lie fabulously? The more egregious the screw-up, the faster the lies flow and the more ridiculous it all becomes. They still think that the policy of "dazzling them with footwork", works. Hint: it works only on gullible morons already on your side who really, really want to believe it.
Unfortunately, there appear to be tens of millions of gullible morons in this country.
It all starts with dumbing down education. That started with Reagan and finally success; the DOE is being gutted. I did not know that the DOE first started in the 70’s when poor states couldn’t afford to educate students and southern states had to have rules and regulations in place to treat students equally. Funny, not ha ha funny, all the states needing help were and still are red. Go figure!
It's okay, they'll have no money, the climate will collapse, and they'll starve to death. Of course, I don't live in a red state, so I don't expect to have to see this.
They all believed him when he said that prices would go down on Day 1. Gullible dummies all.
Linda, their first reaction when faced by any fact, disparaging or not, is to lie. It is all they know.
Lies DO work.....77 million people voted for him???
They know they are lying. They know many of us know this. This is another dominance/power display by those in charge of our government.
Who will hold them responsible? No one
The maggots believe everything the administration says.
Lying is automatic to them.
They all think that they can get away with it because who’s going to stop them.
Just like Trump and he gets away with it all the time. 🤬
It feels like the Third Reich.
Teflon Donny- too many times he has skated by! A life of crime
Exactly and that’s why he’s Teflon Donny. Will anyone ever take off his coating?
A big metal fork to the brain.
Like Teflon Reagan he has Alzheimer's, so the fork in the brain is slowly twisting.
Too fucking slowly, though. My husband had a sudden downhill slide and died within 6 months. I hope Shitler has one soon!
Who, now?
And that was the nation’s big mistake! Not holding him accountable the 1st term
Undoubtedly, his life of crime will never end Dave!!
It is the Fourth Reich. Right now
Hegseth is Nazi certified Susan, no surprise, the rest are Kremlin puppets!!
Don’t worry! Susan! Didn’t you read Jeff’s article? Susan Collins has expressed concern. It’s all good.
LOL! She's beyond worthless. No town halls for 25 years? Ridiculous.
Tee-hee--good one!
Grrrrr!
What really blows ME away is not the blatant lying; it's the number of Republican and independent voters who will say, "But Democrats lie tons, too! What about covering up Biden's senility and the COVID lab leak?!? And Pizzagate?!? BoTh SiDeS bAd!!111!!1eleventy!!!"
/sob
UGH. True.
I don't know, Susan, but if they can still say with a straight face that January 6th was: a) a peaceful protest and/or faked by Antifa and the FBI; or b) that tRumPutin actually did win in 2020 - BY A LOT- then I'm pretty sure they will be easy to convince of absolutely anything.
He wants to Pay them for the time they spent in jail now!
It gets more preposterous every day. I pray that this constant ill thought out overreaching will lead to his downfall.
Hubris goeth before your fat ass enters the wood chipper.
Nice Ole!!
Ooo, I like that image!
January 6th was a peaceful protest AND faked by Antifa AND faked by FBI AND all the perpetrators deserve to be pardoned.
And now LDFF wants to compensate them for their time in jail??!!! wtf?,
They suffered so unfairly.
I sense the sarcasm as I would reply to them and their “suffering “: sucks to be you mf’er!
They know if they can get away with lies like this.....then ANYTHING is possible
The problem with liars like these is that they actually believe the lies. There's not one person with integrity in that group of loose cannons and eventually this will get swept the rest of the way under the rug. If they want to go after Goldberg they'll have to admit that the plans were actually transmitted, which, of course, they were. It's such a large number of gaslighters that they should go up in flames. But they won't. Because they won't.
I’m not so sure they really believe the lies they are telling, Jan. They just live in a MAGATY fantasy space where alternative facts are a way of life.
What if Mitch The Turtle McConnell had done the right thing and voted to impeach the Bloated Yam of Scam? Would we be in the world of shit we are now?
Stop insulting turtles, Walt ! They are wise and wonderful survivors. I am the servant of a very bossy tortoise, and have lived with turtles and torts most of my life. McConnell is lower than slug shit.
McConnell has done more to destroy actual democracy in this country than anyone I can think of. So proud.
Sadly the cards were already dealt Walt, this would never have ended well!!
The earth’s been shaking beneath our feet since the Demented Dipshit Dictators return Susan!!
It won’t. They’ve been lying forever
Everything they've said about it is BULLSHIT! Bullshit is all they've got.
Exactly, the gaslighting is infuriating!
I’m at a loss as to why anyone thinks “National Security” is important anymore.
In his first term, the individual the US elevated to “President” had Manafort provide election data to his Russian handler, directed Flynn to subvert President Obama’s sanctions on Russia related to Putin’s annex of Crimea and election interference, shared classified material with the Russian Ambassador, attempted to blackmail an ally, abandoned other allies, and after losing an election incited an attack on Congress while stealing classified materials and storing them in his bathroom.
For his second crime wave he appoints an inexperienced alcoholic Fox News host to be Secretary of Defense, a Russian sympathizer to become the Director of National Intelligence, a Q-Anon conspiracy loon to run the FBI, and “Bribe Me” Barbie to run the DOJ.
And all this while a South African billionaire imbecile has unleashed a team of DOGE treason monkeys on private IRS, Social Security and other systems with previously secure personal information of hundreds of millions of US citizens.
Sure, we care about National Security.
You had to mention Manafort! now my day is ruined…
I’m not happy until you’re not happy!
Words to live by.
😎
😂
Sad truths George…The moment SCOTUS says that one person is above the law, we no longer have the rule of law. The moment we no longer have the rule of law, we cease to exist as any kind of republic!!
THIS!👆👆👆👆 I have my outlets. One is here every morning! (Today Jeff was late according to my PST read! I wondered if he was “disappeared!”😳) The others are Heather Cox Richardson on Letters from an American on Substack and Colbert and Kimmel. Otherwise I would be crazy or crying nonstop. I can’t get over the fact that we can’t seem to do anything about trump and his goons! He has infected the entire world; our allies in Europe, Ukraine, Panama, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Mexico. He has his fingers in El Salvador, Venezuela, Yemen, Gaza, Israel and I could go on. Now this! And it will be lied away or investigated to death until it becomes old news because there will be more and more fuck ups to deal with. Nothing will be done. It seems highly unreasonable. Are we heading back to Hitler’s Germany? Or maybe worse?
Yes.
😮💨😔
What do we do about that?
Resist in any way one sees possible and hope we don’t have history (1933-1945) repeat itself.
It certainly appears to be the case Kay, our billionaire overlords are seizing the country from our government. The money appropriated by congress is now being funneled into the Uber wealthiest pockets…all “we the serfs can do is to protest and call our duly elected. Unless We the Serfs organize a modern day revolution, our republic is toast!!
Jeff Goldberg’s name can be added to those of Woodward and Bernstein in exposing all the president’s men.
And he published this morning. Link below.
Jeff Goldblum, aware of MAGA’s stupidity and inaccuracy, is now like, “Oh, fuuuuck. . .”
You’re likely right on Doc!!
They worked a little bit harder for their accolades, Mike. This was served up to Goldberg. He did do the right thing then.
My comment on Farcebork, where I know a few MAGA family members lurk:
If you haven't figured out yet that these people in charge of keeping the goddamn country safe from all threats, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC are mind-blowingly incompetent, ask your smartphone-nuk-nukking tween or teen how fucking ignorantly STUPID one has to be to do this, and admit you're in a cult of Breathtaking Dumbassery.
I wish I could give you an extra like for "Farcebork"
😂😍
Right now, the worst and most damaging group of terrorists ever faced by the US, is actually pretending to be "the Most Patriotic Americans Ever" - AND running the country! -- while they dismantle it, and turn it over to Russia and China.
...and accelerating ever more quickly towards Orwell's "boot stomping on a face, forever" future.
Yup.
As Malcom Nance said this is largest security breach in the history of our country, Crown Jewels level!
Here's a bit from an ex US Army soldier. (Me.)
I was at Fort Monmouth, NJ in 1964, a major crypto teaching Post at the time.
If any one of us had released the type of information that Hegseth gave to Goldberg, we would have been arrested, subjected to a Courts-Martial, convicted, and sent to Leavenworth Kansas.
Can we even imagine if this had happened during Obama's or Biden's watch? I can't.
We used to know how to deal with espionage. No longer
Yup… infuckingcredible!
X-ACTLY
The immediate danger from this breach has to be to our military and top officials (at least the ones we can trust), but it I don't think it stops there. The breach has put everyone of us at increased risk.
Everyone involved in that text thread ought to resign or be fired, but we know that will never happen. And yet they made a huge case out of every non-issue during the Obama and Biden administrations. These Putin-loving, incompetent fuckwit trumphumpers are a clear and present danger to our nation and the entire Party of Putin won't stand up for America. Traitors.
We used to know what to do with traitors
I'd like to order up a gross of cognitive dissonance for these people who aren't self aware enough to see how illogical it is to:
1. Believe Goldberg hacked his way into the bromance happy hour on Signal at the same time they...
2. Insist that Signal is secure enough to be used for strike windows.
Just like how all those immigrant people taking everyone's jobs are also sitting around doing nothing while collecting welfare
AND
Joe Biden was so old and sleepy he couldn't do anything when it came to running the country, yet he was this genius evil mastermind who headed up every way possible to take down trump.
Talk about “you can’t have it both ways”.
Exactly my thoughts!!
I prefer a government that hires competent (and sober) people, that don't have to "learn a lesson" before not endangering our troops or doing something like, oh, say, starting WW III.
EXACTLY - competence AND integrity AND honesty. All 3 lacking with these
back-alley rats
Oh man, Putin and Xi must be sitting back in bed, smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile watching this 88-ring circus play out. Just complete clownshoes.
I’m sick of the lies. You could see it on Tulsi’s face during questioning.
She was squirming like a toad on a griddle!
Yes she was. Wonder how she feels today!
Highly recommend folks go on YouTube and check out the Bulwarks interview/chat with Jeff Goldberg. Quite enlightening.
He actually thought he was being punked or scammed when he got the invite to Signal chat from Walz. And when he was added to the group chat he thought he really WAS being punked.
It's a great insight to how the wannabe mob soldiers are trying to cover up why they were on Signal in the first place.
Which BTW, is because it avoids the LAWS covering retention of government communications.
It makes you wonder how many times this group (minus Goldberg) has used Signal to discuss intelligence data, and what countries hacked into the conversation.
1. Did they think Jeffrey Goldberg was someone else?
2. Who?
3. See you April 5th - already an important date in US history:

Probably thought it was Jeff Goldblum-actor-cool guy……yikes!
😂😂😬
Initial denial from Bloated Yam of Scam. which is standard for him: "I don't know anything about that. Never heard of Hooties. They, they, no hits since a long time. Before, they uh, the Blowfish, they did before but not lately. Uh, . . ."
Ha!!
OMG! Hootie and the Blowfish? Brilliant.
AAAAAARGH. It’s not just that they included someone in the chat who shouldn’t have been included (Goldberg), it’s that they were using their personal devices on an unsecured platform. Jeffrey Goldberg? They were lucky it was he. We don’t know, yet, who may have intercepted the messages. Tulsi was in India and another was in Moscow. So there ya go.
Every hostile country intercepted it!
I read that the guy in Moscow was inside the Kremlin.
Butter emails almost seems quaint now. 🙄
Aint that the truth. 🤯
