‘We didn’t invite that journalist into our super high level national security/war planning group chat… he hacked his way in.’

Mmmmm.
You’d think the guy famous for cheating on his wife would be better at double checking who’s being added to a groupchat…..

Check this out. This just gets better and better.
“My orders came through,” . “My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.” When Dickinson asks when he’ll be back, Striker replies, “I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.”
The scene keeps coming to mind as the White House’s “Signalgate” scandal becomes even more serious. :
By now, are probably familiar. Top members of Donald Trump’s national security team chatted in a Signal group over the sensitive details of a military strike in Yemen — potentially — and they accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, in their chat.
When Goldberg published on Monday, however, the journalist, as part of an attempt to be responsible and cautious, deliberately withheld information to avoid publishing potentially classified details.
A day later, both and of his national security team insisted that the Signal group chat did not include classified information. The comments were practically an invitation to Goldberg to publish everything he had.
And so, .
In the process, the generation’s most scandalous White House security breach managed to get even worse.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, for example, sounding a bit like the fictional Ted Striker, wrote precise details about the take-off times of U.S. fighter jets, as well as details about the kind of jets, as they prepared to strike Houthi fighters in Yemen. At one point, the former Fox News personality literally wrote, “1415 ... THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP.”
Though the messages did not include specific targeting locations, it included information that, if obtained by bad actors, could have endangered American pilots’ lives and possibly allowed U.S. targets to evade the strikes.
The beleaguered Pentagon chief did all of this while boasting, “We are currently clean on OPSEC,” referring to operational security that was anything but “clean.”
Ryan Goodman, a New York University law professor and former special counsel at the Pentagon, , “I worked at the Pentagon. If information like this is not classified, nothing is.”
But Hegseth is hardly alone in looking worse. The day before these new revelations reached the public, Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, “Precise operational issues were not part of this conversation?” Gabbard, who was under oath, replied, “Correct.”
As for the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote via social media that she now considers the entire controversy despite everything the public has now learned.
There were some concerns on Monday that this stunning White House debacle would be a one-day story. Those fears have now disappeared.
Maddow Blog | The Atlantic posts full Signal chat, intensifying White House scandal
There’s a funny flashback scene in the 1980 comedy classic “Airplane,” in which Ted Striker tells Elaine Dickinson about a mission he’s poised to join.“My orders came through,” . “My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.” When Dickinson asks when he’ll be back, Striker replies, “I can’t tell you that.

That could have put a LOT of fucking people in danger.
houthi's should be treated like a capable adversary whether they're viewed as unintelligent "sand niggers" or not.
Edit: Now they're saying that the Atlantic editor is "always trying to worm his way into these chats"
Fuckers lie really poorly. kind of like some of the posters around here.

The US and several of our Allies have been bombing the Houthi rebels for quite some time, long before Pete The Leaker took his frat party to the Pentagon. I think it’s reasonable to say they are a formidable force to be reckoned with.

I wonder if Annie is getting special meme tutoring from Admin?
What a good student! No wonder Lotus took her on as her little acolyte.

Oh, Annie? She tried to debate me once, but she ran away and hid behind Lotus' skirt. No worries. I'm sure she's a nice gal. Just a bit shallow.

What does Anna's personal life have to do with this complete shitshow of an administration? I ask not expecting any kind of cogent response from the Trump peanut gallery.
