White House insiders have vented their anger at National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, with one reportedly calling him a 'f***ing idiot' after it emerged that he added a prominent journalist to a secret group chat revealing highly sensitive war plans.

'Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a f***ing idiot,' the source, identified as a 'person close to the White House', bluntly told Politico.

well, do you disagree with the appraisal?

Why are war plans sent over an unsecure channel?

We are missing the point.

Why do teenage girls talk about cute boys on chat apps?

In this case the top National Security officials in our government were casually chatting about impending military strikes in a way that made their actions safe from Freedom of Information Act disclosure.

That's illegal.

And then setting an automatic delete of the communications, in violation of Federal law which requires the retention of all such communications. You get the idea from reading the texts (screen shots of which are in the Atlantic article) that this is not the first time these knuckleheads did this sort of thing. One wonders what else they've put in an easily-spied-upon chat.

If you read Project 2025, you’ll find that this is the prescribed method of communication - specifically to leave no evidence.

Everything is going according to plan, Comrade.

Nothing is really illegal when people aren't paying any price.

AND this particular group had a name indicating it was an offshoot of a larger Signal chat.

It's clear who has been chosen as the scapegoat, now Washington will just pretend that the Vice President, the Secretaries of Defense and State, the Directors of National Intelligence and Central Intelligence and the White House Chief of Staff and her Deputy couldn't be expected to know better.

Bottom line. What was done using Signal was blatantly illegal. All the WH spin is just bullshit. Heads should roll- but they won’t… Orange jesus has spoken “ It was just a glitch”…

We will certainly get to the bottom of it all, Trump has appointed a designated official to determine how this happened...

Mike Waltz.
