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.  

I think it's wild that coming off of four years of hearing my old man talking about Biden as if he was Konstantin Chernenko, we now have Donald Trump demonstrating that he has no ****ing clue what's going on. And no, I don't think this is all part of some secret plan or 4D chess or anything, he just doesn't care.

Credit to Goldberg for going public with this, going against the grain of how his fellow journalists have handled things thus far... if it was Maggie H, she'd be hawking a tell-all book in 2029 about this incident.

More discussion on Morning Joe about the other members of the group aiming blame at Hegseth.

great handle for this bsky account

As one of the few conservative posters still left on this board, I just wanted to say that the emoji's in the text thread makes me realize it's a young new guard in charge now and i'm so confident in how this will go.  

Also to note, I was unable to type the above sentence with a straight face and it's complete horse****.  The emojis alone would have been in just about every meme coming from the right if this was a democratic admin that got caught like this.

Rump knew nothing about this in the same way the Nuremberg defendants knew nothing about the Holocaust.

The discussion from Stephen Miller about how he's pretty sure he has a greenlight is the interesting detail.  Lots of stories about him being detached and distracted, easily manipulated by this cabal of jackals. 

[oblong]

it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know about it.  He only ran again to stay out of jail.  I truly wonder if they never charged him in the election and document cases if he'd have run.

This is what I’m seeing.  He is just there to spew his usual verbal diarrhea of nonsense and lies after the fact.  He’s not with his finger on any button, except the red one for his Diet Coke.

Exactly this!  
 

Now the texts are out the Dems and MSM can’t bury the lede.  It’s not the war plans or even the idiocy of mistakenly inviting a reporter.  

It’s the intentional use of an outside system for the sole purpose of hiding communication that could potentially be subpoenaed.   This is highly criminal activity at any level.   It’s not an only fireable offense but also one that could have jail time.

Do you think Waltz has Trump in Signal using "Gold" as part of a nickname?

ya know...i could see him doing it off the unofficial/official USSS code name. 

and for POTUS it could be something with "gold" in it because he's so obsessed with that.
