They don’t want to talk about it. The questions in this case for me: 1. Can anonymous reports from liberal-leaning news sources be trusted? But can anonymous reports from right wing news be trusted? And can the White House be trusted? In response to your question, I would say…No, I would prefer to wait for additional details to come out before arriving at any conclusion as to what may/may not have happened. 2. Assuming the report is true, is there a comparable incident(s) from past admins, and in those cases, what was the administrative outcome? Who cares? More whataboutism. If this is true, and it's acceptable to this administration, then that's the way it goes. I demand accountability. These guys play golf, and go to UFC events, and pick on people. And also ignore inflation. And raise taxes. But that's what you want!
wnyguy Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Looks like another incident of WINNING to me. If the libs here are gnashing their teeth again it means something was done right. 1 1

All_Pro_Bills Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago 29 minutes ago, Albwan said: "People familiar with the matter". The administration needs to assign an independent investigator to determine if a security violation has been made and then take the appropriate action. If the Secretary did indeed set up a second chat group on a non-secure phone he should be fired or resign. Such poor judgment disqualifies him from the position. But if the allegations prove to be false the journalists filing the story should be pursued for investigation and potential criminal charges. At the least questioned about their sources. And if there are real people providing false information to the news outlets they should be arrested too. Its one or the other here. 1

So now accidentally inviting someone into a chat has morphed into a spooky setting up a second chat on an unsecure phone.. c'mon now. I don't believe anything anymore. Democrats rats and their crony fake "news" reporting has created that. News is 100% political agenda now. So we have to read between the lines to figure out what's going on. 1

Call it “spillage,” make sure it doesn’t happen (again) and move on.

However, this is govt work, and sloppy seems pretty common there. greetings I would say your view of mainstream media is as staunch as any belief I have read you have. DISTRUST. will that ever change? Sloppy is the NICEST thing I can say about our government lately. I know you are not a believer but please send positive thoughts for a test Im having Wednesday.

As to your second point, I care, that's why I said it ya big dummy. 1

Thanks leo . m Hi Mup, of course I'll send positive thoughts and prayers your way! I believe we may have disagreed about the way we view faith, but if you read me as an atheist you may be confusing me with someone else. Molly Hatchet, perhaps. I'd do the same for just about anyone, even some of the crankiest and dare I say cowardly mo'fos on this board. As for implicitly trusting mainstream, legacy media outlets, no, that's unlikely to change. I understand your concerns about the status of our government, and all that can follow is 'whataboutism', which some people believe is a bridge too far in political conversations. Unless, of course, they are doing it.

What else can a sane person do besides wait an see what the future brings. We changed our financials to bonds well before this because of having fears of what might happen. and here we are Lord Have Mercy. I thought you were a non believer my bad. I appreciate it. m 1

Maybe you have to pause, take a deep breath and reset, Karen. 1 1
