The Signal chat "leak" was 100% arranged and intentional. Every person in that group was typing full copy-edited paragraphs like they were on reddit, not a chat room. They added one of the most conservative and compliant voices in the "liberal" press and somehow nobody in that small group noticed. And then he left to break the story as soon as he could instead of remaining a fly on the wall as long as possible like any real journalist worth their salt would.

Nah man, this was a little stage play to make this cabinet look like tough guys carefully making hard choices. To soften any public backlash against them bombing civilian buildings to rubble without congress even declaring war. I wouldn't trust a damn thing that Jeff Goldberg pens.

And to be honest? If I'm right, this is maybe the most competent op that the Trump II admin has pulled off so far.

Hard disagree. If you read the signal transcripts, it sounded like frat boys planning a bombing run.. highly unprofessional.

I think it's also a good idea to state this is your opinion, and is not, in fact, "100% arranged and intentional". We don't need more misinformation spread around.

All three days of the transcript are entirely what I'm pulling from here. Whole thing read as extremely presentational to me, especially the first day. They knew they were probably getting published.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

In all seriousness though, Michael Waltz being informed the bombs had dropped and responding with "👊🇺🇸🔥" seemed the opposite of presentable to me. That's something my retired tradesman father would text me if his football team won the Superbowl, not something that is appropriate or presentable to the eyes of the American populace after killing a bunch of brown people in Yemen.

cheering for mass murder is the raw essence of America.

Hard disagree. Im not saying who is right, but no, people do not have to start their online comments with "this is an opinion ". Its a comment online, we can only hope its a opinion, and not just randomly ass trumpeted nonsense

[–] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

Well, alright. I just don't think you should make definitive statements based on speculation considering how many stupid people will take that as fact, but to each their own. Just my own opinion.

Or they are all just very incompetent, leaking classified information should have serious consequenses.

Strong disagree, declassify everything that won't get someone killed and maybe some of the stuff that will too. You don't have to stan the military industrial complex to oppose these goons.

Your second sentence is almost as insane as everything else you're spewing.
