  1. Spoiler alert this won’t get republicans fired up because……..checks notes……..reasons

  3. His response just now was extremely pathetic. He just loves to say “warrior ethos” and other ridiculous shit. It’s like he didn’t realize the WH already admitted this happened and blamed the journalist

  4. I highly doubt that they’ll fire him. They kept Gaetz around, after all. Hell, he probably would have been confirmed had he stayed, I reckon

  5. Trump basically said “well the bombing went well so the leak couldn’t be that bad” so I’d bet on no major consequences, and definitely not Hegseth’s resignation

  6. The intel that was spilt would get Tulsi in trouble. They’ll throw her on the fire first.

  7. From a GOP secretary of defense we expect nothing less than that he will translate all military secrets into Russian and send them to the Kremlin asap,

  9. Well, he won’t resign and he won’t be fired. He’s a future scapegoat, so firing him for his own blunder would be a total waste.

  10. Trump only hire the best peoples. If you disagree the FBI will have to investigate you. You are a threat to this country.

  11. Elon Musk might want to fire him, because Hegseth didn’t add him to the chat group! /s

  13. Even if he does get fired, Sean Hannity is probably next in line…

  14. He could pull a Cam Brady.

    *People are taking this thing entirely out of context. Is anyone asking how my hand feels after punching that iron like jaw of that baby? I can barely make a fist!*

  15. Not just Pete – everyone in that little chat needs to go!

  17. Waiting for them to blame the journalist. Hegseth will not get fired though.

  18. Fired? Try jail time

    Edit: but wasn’t it Waltz that sent the invite to Goldberg?

  19. trump just said he himself didn’t know anything about it. If trump doesn’t know anything about this who is in charge at the White House? Should the reporters be asking elon about it? Who is running the presidency? There should be hearings.

    Edit: ya’ll I know trump never accepts blame, I know he’s incompetent, I know his staff is incompetent, I know there will be no hearings, I know no one will be held responsible. My response is what the right would be saying if Biden had said this a week after saying he didn’t sign an order to illegally deport people.

    It’s such a bad fuck up even the conservative sub isn’t defending it.

  20. Nazis leaking secrets to their enemies is part and partial to the brand, so I don’t expect him to be going anywhere. 

  21. The nations’ security is non-existent with these idiots in charge.

  22. the republicans just need to keep acting like an LLM with zero context and they can keep cultwashing

  23. I wouldn’t want to be the most junior person on that Signal group. Because someone’s looking for a scapegoat.

  24. Everyone flailing around as if it matters and something will happen.  MAGA are waiting for another opportunity to own the elite libs who keep thinking that competency matters.  

  25. Trump will never be told what to do by anyone other than Putin. He’ll keep him on, just like he did with that billionaire Nazi

  26. Accidentally including the media in your clandestine war planning Signal chat has to be the stupidest and worst thing any Secretary of Defense could possibly do. You couldn’t brown toast with the combined brain waves of the 2 people in this picture.

  27. I remember Obama in the war room, trump was not even in the loop.

  28. The Atlantic article was terrific. A peak into how dysfunctional this administration actually is.

  29. This is the guy who said, “Under the previous administration, we looked like fools,” Hegseth said. “Not anymore.”

    He better have a couple swigs of Jack.

  30. >if this doesn’t get you fired, nothing does.

    Laughably/tragically incorrect. This kind of analysis relies on pretending like administration officials are measured by their competence rather than their gang loyalty.

    Hegseth could be fired in an instant by being competent and showing even a modest fidelity to our constitution and laws.

  31. When asked about it, Trump claimed this was his first time hearing about it.

    So as if lying about it isn’t bad enough, the lie he chose to go with was that HE DIDN’T KNOW?!?!

    Even if it’s true, that’s WORSE. Fucking hell…

  33. Former Navy officer here: I’d have been arrested and locked away for this. For less than this, actually. This is catastrophically bad.

  34. Every single person on that group chat should have made it known to lawyers that Signal was being used to discuss national security issues. This is a “secure” app, but it is not authorized for this kind of information, almost everyone would have KNOWN this. Every last one of them should be prosecuted.

  35. Just Hegseth? Everyone else in that chat is complicit. Vance included.
