🚨 We have a problem @theatlantic 🚨
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
Thread
1/Aside from the strange timestamps mixed in with the messages labeled with how many minutes since the Signal text had been sent, the timeline provided by the Atlantic does not add up. The only messages in the signal group chat without valid time stamps also just happen to be the ones held back for “national security concerns”, yet subsequently released today by the Atlantic in a follow up article.
Either @jeffreygoldberg, the Editor in Chief of @theatlantic, is so unskilled as a journalist that he cannot keep accurate records, or these messages were sent to him as screenshots and he is trying his best to piece together as if he were reading them in real time.
Let’s Dive in.

Looks like a good catch.
the Atlantic comes across as a journal meant for the elite, left-leaning (which means democratic- socialist) “intellectuals” (meaning Harvard, Yale…Ivy League universities graduates) which opposes populist-return-to-the-Constitution advocates and movements. Capitalism causes problems, technocracy is the answer. The “in-crowd” like HRC and Obama have the answers. If only everybody got the jab….
Those might endorse the candidates, but their articles will always be more favorable to them, and critical of MAGA.
My first experience with the Atlantic was in tenth grade. I had this terrifying liberal dude as a teacher. He'd give you a topic to read out of the Atlantic and tell you to write a few paragraphs on it in class, but he didn't give you much time to do it. He would then collect what everyone wrote, and critique them himself in front of everyone, naming names and ripping apart each student's writing. He was absolutely brutal. No one got out of that class unscathed. He seriously messed me up for years when it came to writing. I had a morbid dread of putting pencil to paper for years afterwards.
As for the Atlantic, its authors were definitely full of themselves and the writing was pompous drivel. I'd love to see that rag go down.
sorry to hear about the trauma teacher. The government teacher I had was a Walter Mondale supporter, a kind person, . I guess today he would be kind of independent, not MAGA, but not crazed woke either.
Thanks, fren.
sorry that happened to you.
i had a friend in the 8th grade, who was scared to death to speak in public. so he refused to do a speech in front of the class. thinking it would be only a portion of his grade, he just refused and thought everything else he had done throughout the year would pass him. well the teacher told him if he did the speech he would def pass her class. so he did it and she failed him.
long and short of that, he spent 4 years in the eighth grade, only showing up to classes; and not taking tests, refusing to do homework, etc. as long as he showed up, his parents wouldn't get into trouble for his truancy.
he's a great guy, still very shy. he's actually doing very well for himself. thank the good Lord.
i wonder if these teachers realize what happens to kids when the teacher acts like this?
Thanks, fren.
It's funny how events are magnified in the minds of the young vs the adults. Things that would never phase an adult will traumatize a kid. It's something we all need to bear in mind.

Ah ... screenshots .... manipulated screenshots ...
This was the basis on which the Russia, Russia, Russia/ Ukraine Impeachment Hoax was based.
