Only if you are using your personal phone, instead of one designed to manage secure communications. The Pentagon has spent billions designed systems to be secure and these guys basically used a megaphone to communicate them.

Pedantic away you Fox entertainer, it would be a change for you to care about details and solicit truthful answers.

It’s sad when people are stupid. It’s really sad when they don’t realize they’re stupid.

DARVO in action. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender.

Yeah, that's how a lot of people cover up affairs. Totally, Mike.

Yeah, that's not sufficient excuse, coming from the national security advisor, who was the admin for this chat group. youtu.be/qawWM9Uag-I

What he says is BS. In apps like Zoom or Webex, as soon as you start typing names, you will see a long list which names are the same or similar (mostly if you just type the first initial). You have to be really careful, and they were not

That excuse does not hold water when we’re talking about military attack plans. Period. No further discussion needed.

Yes, and this Waltz guy apparently is the one "assigned" by the WH to look into the matter to see what went wrong!

So he's an idiot. Okay that makes all the difference 😅

No. Never.

"You know, it can happen to anybody. My teenaged daughter mistakenly put her ex-boyfriend's number instead of her cousin Andy. See? It's common."

Busted. Go pack your bags.

He knows all the Fox MAGA viewers will buy into his "the dog ate my homework" excuse.

Again. Not how this works with Signal.

So.. if this is true, who was this message supposed to go to instead of Jeffrey Goldberg? 🤨

Just another reason why they shouldn’t be TEXTING war plans. Secure communication channels make it really fucking hard to add the wrong person.

* Remember, it was 77 million Americans that voted this insane “reality show” into office. *

A secure way of communication... and this wouldn't happen. Bad!

Wow firing this idiot isn’t enough!

They shouldn’t have been on signal to begin with!!!

Once. I had taken a day off to take my son to college and the last person I had texted was my boss. I later inadvertently sent my boss what I was doing for lunch, which he laughed at. Neither of us was in charge of national security in any way.

No I have never had a contact that someone used their number. anyone else?

Omfg laaame

Oh, well, carry on then I guess

I had something very similar happen to me. My neighbor gave us some eggs and I wanted to thank her. My son also texted me about a completely different thing at about the same time, and I accidentally thanked him for the eggs and so…wait, this is not the same at all bc it wasn’t A MILITARY OPERATION

And he didn't wonder why this "someone else" wasn't participating in the conversation?

🥸

Don’t we all feel so secure now? Our country is in safe hands…🤦🏼‍♀️

But Vance said he didn’t agree with the timing of this attack and that it was all about messaging from FOTUS. They can’t get the cover up straight - it’s all happening so fast they can’t get their messaging coordinated LOL

And then when the dog walked by, he stepped on the phone and my wife spilt milk and when she wiped it off the phone she activated Signal and suddenly… there we were 🤷‍♀️

Yes, sure, I’ve had that happen to me too: when I was head of national security and war for this other country, that would happen all the time! Also, with my book group. Totally the same thing dude!

Fn weasel

No, when dealing with National Security, I haven’t ever done that.

You are the frigging security of the US people, how are their these types of “mistakes”??? Maybe don’t use your personal phone and App Store apps and use the secure apparatus given to you via taxpayer dollars. You aren’t clever in thinking this is how you can avoid culpability and oversight.

Big Balls must solve this problem!

HOLY. FUCK. This is the nation’s NATIONAL. SECURITY. ADVISOR

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them - 2025 Edition (it's time @alfranken.bsky.social )

What a fucked up pos. There's lies and then there's fantasy. Step out of the fantasy & resign, Mike. But you have no shame. So I guess the Courts it is.

What i heard "I'm an incompetent moron that is in way over my head. My secretaries secretary usually does this for me since how am I supposed to know names and phone numbers."

Somehow someone sometime …

Oh sure. I remember that time I had my doctor's name in contacts, but when I called the number it was actually Jesus Fucking Christ!!!! 😉 🤡👿

Best technical minds.... 🤡 🤡 🤡 Sounds about white 🤍

No never, I have more brains than these people, apparently.

Incompetent as well as careless. What happens if a Russian number gets in their by mistake?

Well who the fuck where you trying to add to chat, what's their name show us

I’m reassured. They have the best technical minds trying to figure out how his telephone works. Once they get that sorted they will help him with his shoelaces.

No, actually. That doesn’t happen. Although it is quite easy to accidentally pick the wrong name if you just type the first letter. Whoever he wanted to add, and Jeffrey Goldberg were obviously close together, and he simply picked the wrong one and didn’t pay attention. What a lame ass excuse

So he got someone else's number wrong and it just happened to be the number of the editor at the Atlantic? If so, who did he think it was? Fuck off!

They were trying that message out. They know how to play the game, they just suck at it. Fox viewers eat it up but even they appear to be struggling with this.

We really should check to see if his shoes are on backwards

You know how, when you're discussing super secret military operations, sometimes you just hit "reply all" and tell everyone in your contact list the names of CIA operatives? It could happen to anyone, really.

Yes…I’ve done that, but my tax dollars don’t go to pay the salaries of average folks like me, they are to be used for extraordinary folks with great common sense and exceptional government procedures acumen. Step aside you moron, I am more capable than you…wait I’d have to work for donald? F that!

Yes, My elderly family members in nursing homes do that constantly 😂🤣😂🤣

Answer: No

No, I have not.

Actually no

Yea, ya know that guy that you called names, why would you have him on your Signal phone if he was such a sleaze bag!?

I can’t think of a single time that’s happened.

OMG he had the name and number incorrectly recorded in his list of contacts. I hope he is more careful about the targets 🤡

I have yes. But then, I'm not nominally in charge of national security.

Uh.........no.

Oof…he’s flailing.

Blah blah lie deflect deny distract blah blah lie…. Rinse and repeat!

Who did he think he was adding?

Frankly, I've NEVER had that happen. I've had the wrong name filled in when I've started typing, but that's not what he's describing.

Huh?

😂 so stupid.

What a dumbass

JFC. Sure, we’ve all done it. BUT WE ARE NOT ALL NATIONAL SECURITY APPOINTEES.

BS

Spinning bullshit is the only thing they do

Yeah, he had that tel# under a contact called Deep Throat. Trump et al. can trust him; he’s no leaker. Bet he was planning on writing a book when he retires.

What is wrong with this entire administration, they just can’t be accountable to anything

Translated answer: "To be perfectly frank, I'm an absolute fucking moron."

He’s dancing 🕺. And 🤥 lying.

whose name had Goldberg's number?

Sounds like somebody cheats on their partner

He’s trying to convey himself as unincompetant 🤡

No. Never.

They rely on quantity, not quality.

One ‘small’ hole in this argument is that the name on the contact 100% matches the real person with that name.

I call BS!

Incompetence personified...into an entire administration.

No, you stupid mf’r, I have NEVER done that and I was responsible for people’s medical records. Not on the same level but still…

Who invited the journo to the chat?

Why give #foxnews even a 1 second pub? Ever?

Weak

Jesus Harold Christ on rubber crutches youtu.be/pct1uEhAqBQ?...

Principals!!!!

Hear me out Waltz when you are dealing of things with such importance maybe, just maybe verify all the numbers you asshat.

"Let me spin it to my ignorant base & the da's who tune in. They"ll lap up the red feces we spew at them & ask for more. We have no integrity or concern for anyone or anything but ourselves, when we F up we won't take responsibility we'll point at a democrat, blame them & our base will believe us"

So who was he trying to add to the chain? A Fox News personality? Russian asset? BFF? Some other civilian or unqualified gov employee?

"Have you ever just gotten a job out of blind loyalty to an autocrat, and other than that, you're really just grotesquely incompetent???"

Yeah right. Happens to me all the time NOT!

Gabbard is Colonel Flagg from MASH, and Hegseth is Frank Burns! What a bunch of clowns!!

This guy is Trump’s National Security Advisor 🤦‍♀️

Maybe another Jeffrey, like say, Epstein?

Who was the other contact supposed to be?

Ummm...No.

Says "Look I take full responsibility" and then immediately suggests it was malicious on behalf of the reporter that HE added, calling him a loser, and then puts up the "Pete and I are veterans" BS. Jeffrey Dahmer was a veteran. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Nope. Never had that happen. Ever.

Nope. Not ever

Ok, so who did he THINK he was adding?

“You've got somebody else's number on someone else's contact.” Uh huh. I’m going to need more butter for this piece of toast.

I don't think it's 16-dimensional chess. I think he started getting scared of Trump turning on him, which he has a history of. And is trying to weasel out. I think he's a sniveling little coward.

So lame.

Not planning to bomb another country,I didn’t.

There are ER doctors who’ve heard more convincing arguments for objects being stuck up asses than Waltz has here.

My grandparents could make a better lie, who barely know how to use flip phones
