Why?

Also, amusing the left is simultaneously trying to play up "Trump only appoints yes men!" while also going "Vance disagreeing with Trump OMG!"

Someone asked about Hegseth, and I had the same question considering it was Waltz who apparently formed the group and brought in JG. But I guess Hegseth deserves scorn for including operational details/intel rather than just the more abstract policy considerations from other players.

I will note that nobody talking about how scared they are to live under the Trump regime was/is at all concerned about the fact that we have no idea who ran country during the last two years of the Biden administration.

I guarantee you that almost every important country's security agency has full access to Signal.

Since Jack Dorsey was Signal's daddy, and we know how he allowed the Hussein/Biden regimes to run roughshod over First Amendment rights during the Twitter 1.0 era, I am inclined to agree with you.

How could he be prosecuted if Hegseth, et al sent the info to his Signal account?

Considering multiple people in that signal thread confirmed it, you would be dead wrong.

I give Goldberg props for removing himself from chat once he realized it was legit

Many other journalists would have stayed in
He missed a golden opportunity to order some airstrikes.

What does he say here that you wouldn’t want to hear from someone on your team? Is it just that he doesn’t categorically agree?

Hell, my biggest concern is that my people DON’T say what they really think. Do it respectfully and in good faith, and extend that same courtesy to ALL team members.

The last thing I want is a staff of rubber stampers.

I think Trump appreciates Vance disagreeing to his face.

I don't think he appreciates someone disagreeing with him on something substantial behind his back, and especially now that this leaked.

It was a discussion involving high level cabinet members, is everyone supposed to hold back? Or are they supposed to put forth their real feelings about the situation? I don't think that Vance was harsh, he was just hesitant.

Where does he do that?

He says he’s not sure something has been thought through or realized. That’s a really low bar for “disagreeing”.

I see it working exactly as it should. He expressed a concern. The team heard him out and said they see it differently. He acquiesced.

It’s not like he sat there digging a hole of calling Trump an idiot.

When I was in grad school (MBA), several classes had a participation element to the grade where your score was a function of your questions and critiques of case study presentations. They could get brutal, but everyone knew it wasn’t personal.

If you can’t take honest and good faith questioning of big issues, I don’t want you making the final call.

He needs to be fired. You can't make mistakes like that and just walk it off.

From the article:
quote:

Brian Hughes, the spokesman for the National Security Council, responded two hours later, confirming the veracity of the Signal group. “This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” Hughes wrote.

The use of Signal for high-level/classified comms is major problem. I’m guessing this isn’t the only time they put classified information in Signal.
