New Texts Prove Hegseth Leaked ‘Court-Martial’ Level Secrets
www.thedailybeast.com
Trump’s top officials insisted no classified information was included in the chat, but defense sources now contradict that claim.

Summary

The Atlantic has published unredacted attack plans (non-paywall link) shared in a Signal group chat of senior Trump officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg released the full texts after officials denied sharing war plans or classified information, arguing transparency was necessary amid accusations of dishonesty.

The leaked messages detailed U.S. military strikes targeting Houthis in Yemen.

      they most certainly influenced the election, whether or not they were responsible or not is a bit more complicated to answer.

      Whether or not they should’ve voted is the simplest possible answer you could give. The answer was yes, and they didn’t.

              That’s literally cause and effect my dude, are you refuting fundamental natural phenomena instead of just admitting you made a mistake?

                  loose

                  Mostly because you’re not serious enough to matter but can’t even spell.

                  I didn’t loose anything. Everyone knows America is full of braindead morons who vote, not my fault they chose the rapist. But at least I’m not such a detestable waste of a person like you two.

      Yes, you hold some of this blood in your hands. Complaining won’t absolve you of it. Thank you for your disservice, what are you doing to help correct it?

      The prevalent message is what counts.

      Kinda like saying a handful of idiots pushed a narrative about Hillary’s server. More idiots bought that line but it was started by a small group.

          Why not both? It’s entirely possible to push for progressive policies while also acknowledging the role cultural influence and the internet holds…

          Easier that being an asshole really.

              It’s this rhetoric that plays perfectly into the class divide that the corporate asshats want everyone to fall for. “It’s your fault for not voting for the other corporate shill party!” Disregarding the fact that the main difference is one party is just mask off, and the other is mask on fascist. As many people rightly point out, the dems are controlled opposition. If they weren’t there would literally have been much more fight and pushback from them for the four years before Trump 2.0 (especially since they knew it was coming faaar in advance) rather then the milquetoast response we got from them, this was made quite obvious by the dems moving right in many policies and stumping with Cheney of all people. If these people really gave a shit about appealing to their constituents, they would’ve listened to the damn voters. This is all beside the point as modern American voting IS NOT determined by the voting public, but much more powerful interests. If you really believed your vote was effecting something in this, or any other election in the past 20+ years, I have a bridge to sell you in the Sahara.

                  That’s exactly it, I almost used the good cop/bad cop analogy for my original comment. It’s been glaringly obvious that the dems are just a pressure-release valve for people’s anger for some time now. They never live up to any of the expectations that people have for them. At this point it is a cruel Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown facade. And democrat voters eat it up every time.

                  Now the biggest sentiment from liberals is “this is your fault, if only you’d voted for the dems”, when it is largely irrelevant if voters do. The dems are just a friendlier looking version of a corporate controlled imperialistic government. The sooner the people realize this, the sooner we can actually mobilize people against the real enemies of the people, which is corporate control of both political parties. Until class-consciousness manifests itself on a much larger scale, we’ll continue to play these stupid corporate controlled dem vs repub games and win more stupid prizes.

                  No it’s the country’s but your special form of idiocy deserves a special mention. You should look in the mirror and keep repeating your last comment to make yourself feel better.
