The Democrats finally have something to "pounce" on. They have "seized" their chance. The problem is that no one actually cares.

I agree, Max, but I suspect some skullduggery may be at work here. Of all the "mistaken" phone numbers to "accidentally" be added to the chat, it was Jeffery Goldberg of the Atlantic? I'd like to know if there is a backdoor to Signal that we don't know about, especially since I use that app. I sure don't trust Katherine Maher.

No one should.

And nothing of import was divulged except a few people expressing positions previously said in public and generally agreeing on the next step. Oh, and the time line — which the Houthi’s were experiencing first hand. I can’t but help wonder if this was intentionally leaked to send a message to Europe.

Another instance of twelve-dimensional chess? Could be.

Once Jason Stanley crosses the border, there will be a marked decrease in the US estrogen level.

Good grief, what an annoying pantywaist.

Regarding the Signal issue, 2 days of stupid columns and Dem whining and that will be that.

Stanley wants to escape a fascist dictatorship by going to Canada?

Which country has:

Invoked the updated version of the war powers act to crush a peaceful demonstration and deflate their bouncy castles (Trucker Convoy)?

Frozen the bank accounts of those who provide GoFundMe money to said demonstrators?

Had an extreme lockdown of COVID?

Have engaged in banning many types of firearms?

Have worked to make energy punitively expensive for people through carbon taxes and other green initiatives,destroying citizen's independence and making dependent on subsidies from government?

Have had a federal agency dominated by one party "in touch" with social media platforms about "misinformation" concerning an upcoming important election?

Brutally supported the tyranny of King George III in 1775? (Never forget)

Hint, it's the country with a Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve

How stupid do you have to be to be the Jacob Urowsky professor of Philosophy? Where can I apply for the job? I think that I am overqualified. I am not an egomaniac. And I guarantee I am smarter than him, even tho that's a low bar.

Question the investigators should ask Goldberg:" Have you been on previous Signal chats with any other Trump or Biden representatives?"

Jason Stanley, the Jacob Urowsky professor of philosophy at Yale author of 5 books (I'll wait for the movie). Wow That's nice...I suppose. When I was a kid there was a saying "That and twenty five cents will buy you a cup of coffee."

Signal kerfuffle is not a serious misstep but a Olympic size embarrassment...for Atlantic now that they released the text of the message for which tool Goldberg was privy to...nothing but "bombings will begin"

Who is that guy Jason Stanley? Is he Jacob Urowsky? I watched the video and he kept using both names? The man seems conflicted. When he leaves the US — the average IQ of the USA will rise and that of Canada’s will fall. Winning.

Offering a country to join the United States if the people of the county wish to be citizens of the United States is an honor, not an insult. Canadians would enjoy lower takes, improved access to medial facilities, and a guaranteed Bill of Rights, along with all the other benefits of US Citizenship. When the Republic of Texas wanted to join the United States, we fought a war to make their wish a reality.

Some of the citizens of Canada would like to join the United States and some would not. Let the individual Canadians make their choice.

If memory serves it was Jacob Urowsky who in 1994 declared a hex on Canada that it would never again win a Stanely Cup.

What I gather from this Signal ruckus is that the actual traitors on Team D pretend to want Team R to secure our communications better. This is beyond sick, and voters who would fall for it are sick, too.

With luck, Canada will keep the Jacob Urowsky professor of Philosophy.
