Wow — Mike Waltz on Fox News suggests Jeffrey Goldberg somehow schemed his way into the Signal group instead of just being invited by accident

If a journalist can trick them into putting him in their group after so obviously lying about everything, they're idiots and he's more qualified for their jobs than they are.

If you tell him that then he'll make up a new reason why it's good they used Signal that will be incompatible with everything he said before. He's *not* making a logical argument you can refute, he's just babbling in the *shape* of an argument. He is, in the strict meaning of the term, bullshitting.

Admits guilt on tv, will anything happen? They probably already deleted all signal records, a court order should be served to signal to send these accounts to legal experts and cyber security experts to determine if any info was stolen, and how much has been deleted already, and what to do.

It's the thing about the slot machines in Casino, as De Niro's character puts it: Either you knew about the scam and I should fire you, or you're so incompetent you didn't see the scam and I should fire you.

If he believes that is possible, why the fuck is he discussing secure information on that platform? They keep lying in ways that make it really clear they are just that bad at their jobs.

He’s the one who invited him. If Goldberg tricked the National Security Adviser of the United States into inviting a journalist into a top secret war planning meeting, it makes Waltz look even dumber. Every one of his lies makes him look more and more like a gullible dumbass.

If that is true, then that is actually worse. It makes you people look worse! Because that means it could easily be hacked and any secrets you are talking about can be easily exposed! To even suggest this means you are even more incompetent than first thought!

Not so sure he’s an idiot, but he thinks the American people are and wants them to buy into this crap. I’m pretty sure the whole thing has been set up, mainly to aggravate EU trade wars. They’ve managed to piss off almost all the countries who considered them friends, while cosying up to enemies.

Not sure adding Goldberg to the chat because of his scheming is the excuse you think it is. If the US security/intelligence leadership can be duped so easily we are in worse trouble than we thought.

Agreed. A reporter for an old school Boston-based publication that you can just picture the pipe smoking, tweed jackets and offices filled with their diplomas from Ivy League schools - can hack his way into the Signal chat - I guess it would be easy for a trained ops team from Russia, China, etc.

This is patently ridiculous. But it also doesn’t matter. If you are planning a war on an easily hackable communication channel you are doing it wrong. If you invited him by accident you are doing it wrong. It’s all fucking treason.

MAGAs can make up stuff on the spot with impunity on Fox, knowing they won't get any push back at all. But ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN are not much better. He should immediately be asked if he has any evidence for his claims or if it is pure speculation. That should be routine, but it is rare.

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer. And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public. The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence. They just got caught.

OK - so you go on TV and talk about how this guy is the worst journalist in the world….. …..and yet - he tricked the national security advisor. 😂

We are witnessing the formation of a regime. The Signal leak is more than a glimpse, it’s a blueprint. Trump’s playbook isn’t chaos, it’s control: crush the press, bury diversity, reward obedience, punish defiance. Where loyalty replaces law and truth is whatever power says it is.

AND… we finally have a story of insane Trump team incompetence and malfeasance that DOES NOT involve Elon Musk and then Waltz tries to bring him in to solve his own fucking mess. FFS.

This suggests the Russians, or even the Iranians, may very well have been involved and now have classified information involving our intelligence gathering methods, our weapons capabilities, and our operatives in the field. The damage to our national security is incredible.

When you get caught criming, or just being ridiculously inept, you just lie and keep on lying. Just keep digging your hole deeper and deeper bc the rethuglicans don’t care. As long as they have the power, they’ll keep going along with anything.

These fucking people… Maybe one of the numnutz on Fox could take a second, remove their chapped lips from Trump’s ass, and ask the douche bro why he was discussing war plans on an app specifically to not be tracked or recorded, which is LITERALLY against the law.

Deflect! And I’m sure deny will come in there at some point. 🙄 Is MAGA going to get away with all this? Congress CANNOT let this happen! But, I tell you—I’m not sure anymore. It’s just ok to break the law in this regime.

Let's assume Waltz is right, which he isn't, then how did Goldberg scheme his way onto an unsecured intelligence chat and who else could have. Somebody, maybe all on the chat, are incompetent. That's how.

The fact that there is a safe space that these Republicans can go on and be coddled and never questioned, is why this country is f***** up as it is. I really thought the death of Rush Limbaugh would kill a lot of this misinformation but they are just super powered. So many just filled the void.

We know it must be difficult for Trump Cabinet members to admit to their mistakes when Trump himself consistently refuses to do so. Mike Waltz and others on that group call who refuse to take accountability for their own blunders have shown us that their allegiance is to Trump, not to the nation.

They are chasing their tails and choking on them because they cannot find a way to make this work. 🤯 Somehow, it’s the radical Democrats that did this and we have to figure out how to blame them, 🫣 but they can’t, because you have to be invited in to get into a Signal conversation.

Not gonna happen - that would go against the foundational MAGA principle - never, ever, say sorry, never own up. Just attack anybody who tries to hold you to account. It’s what they do. It’s all they do.

Deny deny deny smh and these stories and the craziest. It would have been a little better to just say we fucked up but no….its better to lie and look like a complete ass

How does this dispel any observations that Waltz is incompetent? And, how does this absolve *all the other folks* on the channel who each, individually, had an obligation to stop discussion of classified information on Signal?

Victim blaming is the hallmark of “wyt guy in a suit” defense tactics! 🙄 They just keep repeating the same old shit! What? We didn’t know you were there! Of course none of us have ever added someone to a text app,bet he just added himself through the very secure back door. #powertothefuckingpeople

To rational, sober people like you and I But I think Trump wants him to spin it this way on Fox, because there it always works for them to distract viewers towards the narrative "Dems are the enemy of this country." Too many viewers now just take that as gospel, and so much can just slide in behind

So Goldberg used his powers of clairvoyance to know there was a signal group, located it among all the other Signal traffic and somehow tricked Waltz into inviting him into it, using what? The Jedi mind trick?

Waltz knows Trump isn't real bright & lies work on not-so-bright people. His only shot is to lie repeatedly, just like Trump does & seems to work for him
