Another bit I think people are missing... Signal is not a government contracted app. They're trying to avoid written records that can be FOIAed

There was another potential problem: Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.
“Under the records laws applicable to the White House and federal agencies, all government employees are prohibited from using electronic-messaging applications such as Signal for official business, unless those messages are promptly forwarded or copied to an official government account,” Jason R. Baron, a professor at the University of Maryland and the former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration, told Harris.
And add that to the list, how many things are on there anyway ?
In this case, sending of Top Secret information reaches a much higher level of lawbreaking though.
Oh it's even better than that. They're talking about State secrets outside approved channels. We have secure government communication channels. Random Signal chats aren't it.
All the people who were mad about Clinton's email that aren't furious about this are hypocrits that should never be taken seriously again.
We keep hearing this and keep having to repeat: these fucks don't give a shit about hypocracy so long as they get their way. They cannot be logic'd out of their shitty, racist views and will bull head-long into things till it fucks them over.
I'm way past the point of ever taking any republican voter or politician seriously again. They literally believe in nothing. They just parrot whatever they told to and say whatever they need to. Barely human shit.
This is something Vaush goes back to a lot on his streams. Modern Republicans don't believe in anything anymore, and so there's no point in continuing to debate them. It's like arguing with a monkey throwing poop to be a left leaning debater.
They believe in "there must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect".

Yeah that part did not evade me. Scummy as shit
I feel like I'm actually going crazy.
I keep thinking this means they're actively AVOIDING using proper channels- isn't that- I mean- fuck I don't wanna say it but I'm going to.
Isn't that- borderline treasonous?
They took away Obama's Blackberry just for this clown shit to happen.
One of these fucks was in Russia.
What the fuck guys https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-envoy-steve-witkoff-signal-text-group-chat-russia-putin/
Traitor scum
ok that one was hilarious. they werent even vetting who was on the damn group chat.
The funny part to me is the guy who got the texts thought it was AI spam at first because it's just too stupid. It really is "who's texting me?" for real.
and then they left the chat...
Imagine replying to war plans like a teenage girl with emotes.
💣👌
🙌🇺🇲🦅🏆
Smh. Makes you wonder what else they said in those signal chats.
CNN reported that they literally did exactly that:
As soon as bombs were falling, they cheered in the chat and have sent emoji for celebration
🤮
This cartoon should end at the first frame. But unfortunately we live in a genocidal empire, where genocide is so fully supported that people only get mad about leaking plans for genocide.
I mean, fuck Hegseth in general, but the Houthis aren't an ethnic group and are generally bad, being so oppositional to peace in Yemen historically and killing civilians.
Yeah they aren't good but also the main reason they ramped up their attacks against shipping in the region was in response to the US support of Israel after October 7th. I mean most of these groups in the region aren't good but they get supported by the people as they're seen as a strong opposition to the genocidal regime of Israel and America who are trying to kill them, displace them, and take their land. Sure they also get backed by Iran but without popular support in the region they wouldn't have anywhere near as much reach and power as they do now.
Ok, but like, these air strikes weren't a genocide.
Obviously fake. Not enough alcohol in frame 1.
Alcohol doesn’t count if you balance it with coke.
Excuse me I can see your liver bulge from here

what the actual fuck
Ironically from the messages Vance seemed opposed but he was too chickenshit to say so outright.
But what was the reason for leaving the chat and not collecting even more incriminating shit?
Potential legal problems for Goldberg if he continues eavesdropping after realizing the chat is real.
It is hard to choose the right time.
Either you are too early and you could have gotten more intel.
Or you are too late and you could have prevented some fucked up shit by going public.
You always loose.
Who was the intended recipient? Why do they have each others personal Signal accounts? Its all fucked.
Two days later—Thursday—at 4:28 p.m., I received a notice that I was to be included in a Signal chat group. It was called the “Houthi PC small group.”
A message to the group, from “Michael Waltz,” read as follows: “Team – establishing a principles [sic] group for coordination on Houthis, particularly for over the next 72 hours. My deputy Alex Wong is pulling together a tiger team at deputies/agency Chief of Staff level following up from the meeting in the Sit Room this morning for action items and will be sending that out later this evening.”
The message continued, “Pls provide the best staff POC from your team for us to coordinate with over the next couple days and over the weekend. Thx.”
The term principals committee generally refers to a group of the senior-most national-security officials, including the secretaries of defense, state, and the treasury, as well as the director of the CIA.
They thought they were on Grindr
Anyone got any links/screenshots that aren't behind some paywall bullshit?
Just imagine if Biden or Hilary or Obama did this?
They went nuts over Hunter Bidens laptop for ageeees, this will be forgotten in a week.
This meme got my high ass gigglin so hard. But itd wild because how fucked that is
The only good thing those clowns let behind is meme-inspiration
