Sunday

I don't think career military and intelligence people are going to stand idle while Trump tries to burn everything down.

Everything Trump has done in the last 2 months can be fixed.

The point in time when he really puts our nation at a high risk--a really high risk--I think there will be intervention.

I thought the same. A highly credible responsible journalist. Would have been a very different story had it been Amaryllis Sunday #32

I'm skeptical of some of this EdmondDantes_ Sunday #10

Do we even know for sure it was Waltz who added Goldberg? He has no recollection of so doing. They all seemed to be Amaryllis Sunday #35

Yet, he said he would take full responsibility SheltieLover Sunday #43

Yes, Waltz invited him. There's a screenshot. Shipwack Sunday #77

But who gave Waltz Goldberg's private cell number in the first place? Ocelot II Sunday #79

That is a very interesting question... Shipwack Sunday #84

But even if they were looking for a different JG, a DoD employee whose number Ocelot II Sunday #85

I meant using the search function in signal, not an official government directory. Shipwack Sunday #92

Goldberg implied he was trying to interview Waltz about something else. summer_in_TX Monday #139

Goldberg said this morning SARose Sunday #87

That's interesting - not that Goldberg and Waltz had met, which isn't surprising Ocelot II Sunday #93

Fanciful and speculative Prairie Gates Sunday #16

Let's see you come up with a better explanation NJCher Sunday #21

The simplest explanation is far, far better: the Trumpies are idiots Prairie Gates Sunday #26

It's literally what you're doing Prairie Gates Sunday #64

the word NJCher Sunday #66

Prairie Gates is using the word "literally" correctly but attacking the word is all you are reduced to Bernardo de La Paz Monday #148

My point NJCher Monday #154

Your point that it is "overused" is pointless and logically has nothing to do with Prairie Gates proper use. Bernardo de La Paz Monday #158

no. it's about whether THIS piece has any real backing stopdiggin Sunday #82

He also consistently misspelled Waltz's name. n/t TygrBright Sunday #125

also NJCher Sunday #45

Yes, that's all true, but how did Waltz get Goldberg's private cell number? Ocelot II Sunday #83

This guy is saying that someone got hold of Waltz's phone and inserted Goldberg's number muriel_volestrangler Sunday #58

Agreed! SheltieLover Sunday #48
