It appears to me that SignalGate is slowly drifting away. Magats are still talking about Hillary's emails.
I did another thread where I volunteered to be the public relations manager for the Democratic party for free.
Fist of all, I will coordinate messaging and I demand that all Congressional Democrats seek out microphones and use the same talking points that I give them and repeat my talking points for every interview. Example: when they are asked about SignalGate, no matter the question, every 1st response must be a forceful, "Hegseth, Waltz must resign immediately or be fired by Donald Trump." Then follow up with investigations to ensure that Magats are not still using Signal to delete official communications. Then that Magats have been caught using Signal that was set to self-delete messages from anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks. Then, the law states that deleting, not preserving official communications is a crime with up to a 10 year jail sentence. Then, say, if found guilty these people must be locked up.
Democrats have Magats by the balls and we are talking about Greenland, oh and I also have messaging for Canada and Greenland. Trump and Vance have stated that Denmark and Canada have been bad allies. My 1st message to Democrats will be that Trump and Vance need to apologize to the parents and loved ones of the fallen soldiers from Denmark and Canada who died fighting with us in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Whoever is in charge of hiring me (for free) just PM me at DU.
Do not allow SignalGate to die.

(3,727 posts)People have made up their minds about it. They want to know when their grocery prices are coming down. This is another instance of Trump and his people showing gross incompetence and unaccountability, and it will take it's toll on his approval rating along with all of their other missteps.

(27,325 posts)DU is the canary in the coal mine, Signal Gate is over, if DU wants to talk about other stuff, so be it.
I just think back how a much more minor issue, Hillary's emails, helped undo her bid for the presidency. A much more serious situation, SignalGate, where Magats are concealing what they do, are concealing their illegal behavior by having the conversations self-deleted, according to Malcolm Nance, is the most serious national security issue in our nation's history.
Fuck it then, let's talk about the price of eggs.

yeah Magats can stay on message, and yes we are still talking Hillary Emails and Bidens Laptop. I mean, look around these boards. Magats don't even need to waste their own hog breath to have their oral fecal gas clouds echo into the nether.
but wait, let's switch topic (or 100 topics) like this board does. MAKE IT PELUCIDLY CLEAR!!

(4,989 posts)from setting up a website and diving in with whatever you want to say. You don't need to wait to be asked. Cross-post to DU, Bluesky, Reddit, Insta, etc. If it's good, you will gain followers over a period of time. As well as new issues, you could have a 'let's not forget about' feature for things like SignalGate. And you could have links to articles or quotes that relate to your mission. Links to and from other sites helps the algorithm drive traffic to your site.
It's too bad that 'Talking Points Memo' is already out there. It sounds like the perfect name for what you want to do.

(3,947 posts)Many progressive positions are far more complex and require a more complicated message. Plus the corporate media is more sympathetic to republicans than they have ever been to democrats.
