👀 Waltz, SecDef SignalGate | Signalgate 2.0 Oct 2025

You know what frightens me the most? That we're just two months into this shit show... and these fuck ups will only compound themselves and continue to get bigger.

These are unqualified unserious people. And if they're left in charge of this county they will be it's downfall.

 

[Huh?]

While I recognize that use of Signal is an intentional end run around FOIA, I don't see how this conversation would ever be FOIA-able. So while it's a technical violation of the act, I don't think that rises to the level of outrage. I save that for the inclusion of pre-launch details over an insecure channel.

It's not FOIA-able but it still needs to be preserved as a government record for posterity.

I do agree that it's the least important aspect of the story.

I think the question is, "If they are using Signal for this (an incredibly illegal use of Signal), what else are they using Signal for?"

 

[Huh?]

And the natural follow-up question, "who else is listening in?"

That would be “everything.”

 

[ZenMode]

What message?

That's classified. Deep state cabal stuff.

I hate how much this is still relevant, but here I go posting it again:

Am I the only one who read this and heard

I can't find where this is in Project 2025.

Unfortunately, I think this is correct. Trump's cabinet members have tied themselves in knots trying to admit absolutely no wrongdoing because they think the Boss wants them to do so. Waltz is the only one who said he screwed up and the buck stops with him. Simply admit you were wrong and move on. Trump has actually been pretty reasonable in HIS comments, stating everyone needs to learn from their mistakes.

What else is there to say about this? We know Pete shouldn't have been discussing the timing of the attacks on Signal and Goldberg shouldn't have been added to the chat by Waltz (or staff). At this point the dead horse is simply being hit.

Dead horse or not, it’s just further proof that Hegseth is an unqualified dumbass who has no business being in his position.

It's not a dead horse... All the people involved still have all their jobs and security clearances.

This horse is very much alive.

[sringwal]

Well, that’s a bad look.

 

[Duke Mu]

Oopsie.

This horse is very much alive.

It's a massive horse. Bigger than Big Red (Secretariat). And very much alive.

This horse is very much alive.

The problem is none of that is going to change. Trump sure as hell won’t fire anyone or allow anyone to strip clearances and Congress is too cowardly to impeach any of them.

 

[CFordUNC]

What a colossal fucking disaster this is becoming.

 

[uncgriff]

You just know that it every administration signal thread the last 2 months was found and published it would be the absolute crisis scandal of all time.

 

[BlooVooDoo]

Well, that’s a bad look.

Trump Calls Signal Leak Fallout a ‘Witch Hunt’

Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, the president focused on the successful U.S. airstrikes in Yemen more than the discussion of military plans in a commercial messaging app where a journalist was invited by mistake.
