It shouldn't be common but... apparently.
A bunch of unqualified idiots who accidentally invited a reporter from the Atlantic to their group chat about actual war plans that they carried out.

The incompetence of all these governmental idiots is just ...

I thought Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic did a professional write-up.  He said what he witnessed and how badly things were run.
Yet he waited until after the war event happened, and didn't give out names of secret intelligence operative(s) whose name(s) were inadvertently revealed to him.

This whole chat group story with the journalist from The Atlantic is absolutely insane. And the hypocrisy from the people involved is on a level that is out of this world. Pete Hegseth was screeching like a banshee about Hillary Clinton's emails, but now when the shoe is on the other foot he's trying to discredit The Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg and denying this whole thing.

And Trump of course knew nothing..... To be fair, that I can actually believe. But for someone who spent years painting Biden as incompetent and not fit to lead, it doesn't paint a very flattering image.

"I don't recall".....

Totally unbelievable. You can see the panic in his eyes when he tries to figure out what to say. I'm stunned by the incompetence and the blatant bullshit the comes out of this idiot's mouth. I'm glad Jon Ossoff doesn't let up and keeps hammering away at him.

Someone please stop the madness!! This woman is clearly completely deranged.

I don't understand what's happening. Every day you hear a new Republican make some absolutely insane statement. Like the idiot who wanted to rename Greenland into Red White and Blueland. It's like we've all fallen down a rabbithole like Alice did, but instead of ending up in Wonderland we've ended up in Nightmareland.

(I didn't post the full-sized bsky video because it's so horrific and auschwitz-like.
This small screengrab is horrific enough).

All the stuff in the article is terrible, so I suggest don't read unless you have a safe person to comfort you after reading.

    • That's right, Kim Zimmer was pregnant with Jake Weary when Reva was pregnant with Shayne.  I don't think I've seen a photo of Mr. Weary, but from what I can tell Jake looks so much like his mother.
    • The show of late has had me in hog heaven, LOL! But, really, my soaps & I are getting along just fine.  GH is excellent. BTG is beyond fabulous. DAYS is so much better.  What more could I possibly ask for? I know, 30 hours in a day?!!!
    • At the start of 1982 under Ellis/Hunt (on CBS) SFT was solidly in the middle of the 13 soaps pulling in between a 7.5 and 6.5 with high 20s share. The final week on CBS the show garnered a 6.3/23. The first week on NBC and mostly thereafter, the ratings were in the middle 3s with a 12 share! I I think under Tomlin 1 and under Glynn the show might have hit over a 4 and 14 but one week only or so.  Capitol didn't get those numbers until middle of summer and in the first few months hit the 4s and low 5. By year end it was in the low 6s/23 share but struggled for the remainder of its run.   NBC's Search was never going to get 6 / 23 shares but when they were solidly in the high 3s and 12/13 share they invariably fired the writers and producer. Dumb. 
    • Wasn't there talk of bringing back Dan Kennicott at some point?  Like, sometime during the late '90's or early '00's?
    • Cliff was Logan's protégé, from the time he was a legal clerk up and until he became ADA. I think you have to have seen Deborah's father for that relationship to make sense, it is very Oedipal.  Mr. Saxon was a charming mobster and was briefly involved romantically with Geraldine.
    • If the actors in question had studied Agnes Nixon's character naming conventions, they could've saved themselves a lot of disappointment. In Pine Valley, there's no way that Wally is going to win in a romantic entanglement with Sean.  Just as Dan Kennicott was never going to be as intriguing as Benny Sago. She was more subtle than Bill Bell, and I can't be certain she even personally named all of these men.  But there is a pattern to be studied. Cliff Warner wasn't as emotionally driven as his name would suggest, but we knew Sean and Linda meant trouble before they even appeared on-screen.  
    • There's also an audio-only clip on YT where Gail lashes out at Monica after learning she had had an affair with her late husband (not knowing or understanding, of course, that, in fact, he had raped Monica).  I remember listening to that years ago and thinking, "Wow, now I see why Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for her!"
    • It would be so CAMP if she just showed up dressed like this to the hospital or a Dupree family function and pretended to be Nicole

    • It's still so wild to see Jake Weary all grown up when I still remember when his mom was pregnant with him (on GL, and IRL).
    • I agree.  Of course, I haven't seen any of her work on DAYS or LIAMST, but I have seen her stuff on other shows (SFT, GH, LOL, FC and KL) and I think she was very, very good.
