Nope. Let them defend themselves though. No taxpayer-funded weapons for them or other taxpayer-funded military operations in Middle East. Then we'll see how tough they REALLY are.

Yup. Gabbard should actually be put in prison for perjury. This is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history. It isn't even close.

I wish the Republicans would do something like this. Actually take accountability. Admit that there was a problem. HAVE SOME INTEGRITY!!!!!

It was enough detail to be classified. Unbelievable that you people try to excuse this level of incompetence. Baffling and beyond hypocritical.

We wouldn't need to do this in the first place if we simply had nothing to do with Israel in the first place. We'll have problems with Houthis and other groups in Middle East as long as we continue to support the illegitimate state of Israel. It will NEVER end. Actually, it will continue to get worse. A LOT worse if we decide to take Gaza. As far as this being successful, so what? The reporter didn't share anything until after the mission was completed. There was still a security breach, big time, that could have been a disaster.

Also tired of the wingers believing what people in this administration say. You know they're lying any time their mouths move.

They got exposed again. They lied by saying that classified info wasn't shared, so the journalist released the info. Busted. sick and tired of all the blatant lying from the right. Fire them all!!!!!!

KNOWN: Just hours before the attack on the Houthis in Yemen began, Hegseth shared details on the timing, targets, weapons and sequence of strikes that would take place. https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/03/26/the-signal-attack-plan-messages-what-we-do-and-dont-know/

The hypocrisy of the right never ceases to amaze me. Yes, I'd be extremely bothered if somebody in the Biden administration did this. No way I'd make excuses for this. I can also guarantee that the wingers would be all over this like a pitbull on the pant legs of opportunity. But when the Trump admin did it, they do nothing but gaslight and deflect. Unreal.

Well, what youre basically saying is that you are drinking the kool aid that they're giving you. Lol.

Looks like he's making a ton of personal profit off of his position: https://www.opensecrets.org/trump/trump-properties

Well, he's also been working for Putin, so he must get some money for that. When Putin tells him to bend over, his response is "how far?"

Doesn't need a salary when he's getting paid by Musk to promote his stock and auto sales and using his office for other means of profiting, such as making meme coins, etc.

This is military plans. I know u wingers get confused a lot, but let's differentiate this from other types of govt communication.

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.
