Dear White House,USA, your government is totally screwed... and that's about as nice as I can put it.
Trump's secret war plans revealed as journalist added to text chat
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, made the jaw-dropping revelation that President Donald Trump's national security team added him to a top secret chat on Yemen strikes.www.dailymail.co.uk
I started my day with the usual 3 month "time to change your password" email from my work, and promptly changed my password without correctly saving the updated one, resulting in me locking myself out of my work laptop. While this mistake made me feel foolish, I think sharing national security/war plans with the editor-in-chief of a news paper is far more egregious. With that in mind I would like to apply for a position in the White House, any position will do, as I'm sure we'd all agree that you need to add some semi-smart/smart/non-idiotic people to your staff.

The same way Trump tattletale babbles publicly like a school kid about anyone, Democrats need a hype man like Flavour Flav to do the same about Trumpf.
Sure as dookie Trumpf would have been screaming to the masses if this happened under Biden/Harris. When asked the question did he know about the texts, he asked the reporter “What do you mean? What, the strike on Houthi? Well it was effective… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
That’s his go to phrase to make doubt about him go away. Even Hegseth was saying it was fake, didn’t happen. Crazy.

Not sure I ever knew anything about the Postal Act of 1970 but it I'm curious what more seasoned opinions have to say about the indepedence of the postal service. I mean, presumably it was a legally enforceable thing before 1970 and has been ever since. Pretty important service. Odd that it was under direct control of the Executive for so long but it does seem like a good idea to keep it as separate from party politics as possible, although DeJoy did slip through that crack.

The spin and cover-up have begun. Who wants to bet that within 48 hours, right-wing fake media will have a recurring case of amnesia and not mention said event or better yet, blame it all on Biden.

Hold up...
So, they had an official, present in that chat, while in Moscow? At the same time they accidentaly added a journalist to it?
Could it be a case of that journalist being added, to cover up some shared information to the russians, and use him as a scapegoat for the leak? Which ended up backfiring?

Trump attacks journalist; denies leaked chat contained classified war plans: Live
President facing suggests no punishment for security officials over blunder that saw Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg added to highly-sensitive Signal group chat by mistake
www.independent.co.uk
Rather than take any responsibility whatsoever, Trump attacks the free press and goes on his all-too-familiar, boring rant about his detractors being failures and 'going out of business'
Disgusting and very disturbing.

They also seem to be far too focused on denying the 'war plans' terminology than denying, and dealing with the leak itself.Trump attacks journalist; denies leaked chat contained classified war plans: Live
