He's not firing anybody that's loyal to him. That's the problem. Loyalty to Trump is 95% of the decision to hire/fire people in this Administration.

That's a lie. Signal is not secure enough. That's a relative term. There is an official platform(s) for communicating this type of information and they blatantly disregarded proper protocol.

Absolutely not. Congress and the people of this country need to know about this. This will be important in the next elections, including 2026. We need a Democratic Congress that has a chance to get rid of these clowns.

OMG. You don't see the difference between using Signal to talk about planned military operations and using Signal to talk about routine civilian government work? I've used my personal phone to chat about government business but there's no comparison to this. No way I'd use it to discuss stuff like this. This is unreal.

The person that invited him into the chat should be fired and so should the people that were part of the decision to use Signal for this and didn't try to do anything to prevent it. That's probably all of them. That's incredibly stupid.

Yah; I'm sure they're going to keep using Signal after all of this. If you think that's the case, I have a bridge to sell you. If Trump simply did the right thing and fired them like a competent President would do, then that wouldn't be a discussion in the first place.

He 100% did the correct thing. Incompetence needs to be exposed, including with the media. That's how we are able to get rid of incompetent people, or force them to fix their problems. Who do you think we are, Russia? Oh...wait....

Good thing we got rid of DEI and are now hiring based solely upon "merit." Definition of merit: Loyalty to Trump

How did he hurt national security for sharing what already occurred?

Agreed. We should be protecting our own borders, and that's about it. I think our reasons for invading other countries has more to do with economic interests (including lobbying) and/or protecting the status of the dollar than actual national security. Unfortunately, with so many foreign countries holding U.S. treasuries (which they could decide to dump at any time) and allowing the dollar to be the reserve currency of the world, we could suffer serious economic blows by isolating ourselves. I'd still rather take that chance though. There's a good chance that these things happen at some point anyway. Much better to isolate ourselves by not intervening militarily than by starting trade wars with allies though. This is where Trump is making a mistake, and he appears to realize that based upon his going back and forth.

He didn't expose anything until after the attack happened. ATLANTIC: if you are reading this, THANK YOU for exposing the continued incompetence of this Administration. Hopefully they learn something so that this will happen less often in the future. You may have saved several American lives in the future.

B.S. We can't have that kind of stupidity from people in charge of our national defense, or a President that nominates such idiots, based more upon their loyalty to him than any level of competence. This is what you get in return. You don't just "move on" simply because it wasn't as "bad" as Vietnam.

His criteria for hiring/firing people is based upon loyalty to Trump, and that's the ONLY criteria. Nobody will be fired as long as they continue to kiss his rear.

Good post. Yah; that's what i was thinking. I'm sure it was very different in 1962. He's a bully. Most people that act like that are soft when the rubber meets the road. I have zero doubt that he was an average wrestler, at BEST.

Lots of assumptions here. I think it's great that he actually wrestled, but there's zero evidence that he was a "good" wrestler and I wouldn''t assume he had to do much in 1962 to qualify for that tournament. Let's not take this to an extreme with your red tinted goggles on.

I'm good man. I love fighting for truth and justice. Fighting evil feels good.

Lol. Well, my fiance has even less respect for him than I do and both of our extended families and children are all either liberal or moderate so no negative impact on my relationships. Only 22 months, actually. The wingers will lose the House then and he'll have a lot of problems. Honestly, I don't know if he'll survive 4 years between his legal violations and frail health.

His success seems to be grounded in his charisma and ability to connect with an audience. I'm not aware of any other skills, but that will take you a very long way in life.

I also liked Ferrari and Steveson. Didn't necessarily expect that great sportsmanship from those 2.

Yah, good for him. At least he tried. He was probably forced to play a sport since it was a military school.

Yah, I think him saying he didn't know anything about it was as bad as the leak itself. He took that opportunity though to rip on the Atlantic. Pretty predictable. Zero class.

I don't think this helps the sport much. Only a little. Here's why: 1) Trump is rapidly becoming a very unpopular President. 2) Very few people respect him. Even most of the wingers that like his policies realize that he's a scumbag. 3) Trump never wrestled or did anything remotely physical himself. He's just a chicken hawk bully that likes to talk tough and show up to violent and/or combat sports. Wrestling is just another one of these sports. There's nothing else about wrestling that really seems to be attracting him to it.

Complete incompetence. He hired these idiots; he's responsible.

Then why do you care? I've written very little on Grndat compared to the Christian b.s. that's on here.

This is the dumbest thread ever. A state pension fund is always gonna be diversified and may have shares of every large corporation in the country. They probably have a lot of shares in other auto manufacturers too, so if we can destroy Tesla, the stock of the other auto makers will be stronger. Net result is probably a wash.
