RatkoVarda Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Schrödinger's Signal thread: It's a nothing burger, that contains no war plans and nothing top secret, and if Goldberg releases the entire thread, he will be black-bagged out of existence. Quote

It's like January 6th. Just another tour of the capitol but also a violent riot by Antifa and the deep state. Quote

MAGA will repeat over and over that no harm was done here, the operation was successful, lessons learnt, end of story. Dems will try to bang the drum that something bad COULD have happened, while ignoring the real crime. Dems need to put themselves in GOP shoes and think how they would respond to this kind of thing if the tables were turned. But they won't. The'll end up playing defense like usual. Quote

How can this be stopped? Quote

We are a publicly traded company. SEC, etc. Meaning.... if we talk about subject A, we have to make sure the people in our audience are either NDA'd or asked to leave. When we have meetings we validate who is on the call. The meeting organizer is responsible ultimately but we all also do it. Nobody wants to talk to our lawyers. I've been involved in things I couldn't even discuss with my direct reports two levels up. I'm not saying that to brag or that I'm special... I'm not. I'm a non mangement grunt. But I go through these exercises and it's unbelievable that people at that level in our government are not doing, at minimum, the same thing. The invite was careless. I don't know anything about Signal but I assume you can see who else is on the chat. Everybody on that should have wondered who "JG" was. Yessir. Yet another example of regular joes like us held to a higher standard than the highest levels of our government. Its wild. Quote

Motown Bombers Posted March 25 Posted March 25 His staffer signed it with an auto pen. I'm of the understanding that auto pen means it's not valid. Quote
romad1 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Noted something interesting that Susan Rice said just now. The acting JCS chairman was not on the Signal chain. Why? Because he would presumably be a professional and beholden to existing security institutions. This is why we have professionals. This is why these oligarchic criminals hate professionals. The goobers are thinking this is a non-story because they don't understand the importance of professions and standards of conduct. Fire the IGs, fire the professionals, everyone is building a barn and putting on a show! Quote

romad1 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Interesting…it appears that the other people in the Signal chat are setting up Hegseth so perhaps HJ had that lined up. Quote
smr-nj Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Trump’s response of “I know nothing about it”, is beyond comprehension. It is, in plain English, ****ing scary. He is out of the loop, and the inmates are running the asylum. They are all totally inept, all of them playing a game that has opened all of us to danger from the many nations out there that will cheer our demise and work towards it. …. And the GOP acting like “nothing to see here” is absolutely traitorous. 2 Quote
