1. Trump only hires best people

2. More than likely drunk

3. He must have not stopped drinking. smh

4. Sounds like they found the security leak…

5. Don’t worry, he’s not the biggest threat to the security of classified documents around.

   That was the guy that was charged for it, with tons of corroborating evidence, but that went nowhere as the aristocracy didn’t want to jail a president.

   Imagine what he can do now.

6. There a good chance he was drunk when he sent that text..

7. But her emails

8. Leave it to petey Glugseth dt’s favorite DUI hire.

9. Probably drunk at the time.

10. Did he really? Surely he’s not that dumb?

11. Wait: i thought he promised to give up booze while he took that job?

12. It sure seems like the US national security establishment would have an official way of communicating with one another that did not involve open source platforms and allow for inviting random people out of your phone’s contacts list. Are they just doing this to avoid later prosecution?

13. God, it’s only getting worse with these brilliant people

14. Pete must be drinking again.

15. Ironically, he’s showing exactly how incompetent a “DEI” hire can be (seeing as he only got the position due to political ties and no qualifications).

    It’s even more amusing when you consider he’s been in the roll for only ~2 months and has manage to do a major fuck up. FFS the guy couldn’t even last the probationary period in most companies and would/should be fired. But of course, he marches to trump’s tune and won’t be let go and they’ll just give him a slap on the wrist.

    Real nice foresight into the level of incompetency we can expect to see throughout this administration’s tenure.

16. Why is this not getting him fired.

17. Unqualified. Still.

18. The kind of things one does when on something

19. You get the top secret plan, and you get the top secret plan! Everyone gets the top secret plan!

    Oh crap! Now our enemies also have the top secret plan!

    Does this finally prove that these people selected by Presidunce trump are all on our country’s enemies payroll?????

    Duh.

20. I don’t know. I was really drunk at the time.

21. I don’t know why, but every time Hegseth talks, I expect him to sound like Foster Brooks doing his act.

22. Drunk texting for sure.

23. In his defense, it was after cocktail hour and Pete was hammered, again..

24. People go to jail for this.

25. In Pete’s defense it’s hard to figure out what you’re sending and to whom when you have a massive contact list and a constant BAC over 0.10

26. Trump told a reporter he knew nothing about it and The Atlantic sucks. Of course The Atlantic is the source of hos “suckers and losers” comments.

27. Give him a break. He was drunk.

28. To be fair he was likely drinking

29. Can we all see the war plan I mean why not it’s there for all to see.

30. Meritocracy at its finest. 🙃

31. Im guessing even Chief Wiggum knows where the leak is coming from..

32. This is what happens when you give important positions to unqualified people.

33. This is the biggest operational security failure I can remember in a very long time.

34. I probably just got banned from r/idiocracy for posting something about this.

35. So glad Trump and his team really prioritized hiring based on merit and qualifications!

36. it will be forgotten about in less than a week

37. This is why people should be vetted and only reliable professionals allowed to have vital information.

    Not Yes Men and Women at Trump’s choosing .

    Shame on the House for approving these idiots ..

38. I’d be worried that journalist ends up in El Salvador or worse.

39. Hegseth: “That’s my secret: I’m always drunk!”

40. He was probably drunk when he sent the text 🥴

41. Lookout!! I bet Susan Collins is super concerned now! She might even take off her glasses and frown!!
