  1. Fired at the very least. But nothing will happen to them except Trump may give them all made up awards for being so great.

  2. unfortunately we have a society where people have no shame anymore

    shame should make a comeback

    but currently, people do dumb to horrific things, and they don’t care

    everything is just so trashy now

  3. The way they rode Hillary about her emails, just for this to happen… Republicans are disgusting hypocrites. What else is new?

  5. To borrow from Futurama:

    They should be fired….”out of a cannon…into the sun “

  6. Reality Winner probably thinks all of those people should be arrested. And if she doesn’t, I sure as hell do.

  7. Fired? All these people should be in prison like anyone else would be that did the same. Hegseth should be detoxing in Leavenworth right now.

  8. I’m just gonna go ahead and skip to the end – nobody is going to face any consequences for anything that happened

  10. **Use of Unauthorized Applications** ✅

    **Utilization of Personal Devices** ✅

    **Lack of Signal Training** ✅

    **Journalist Included in Group Chat** ✅

    **Russia Included in Group Chat** ✅

    **Breach of Presidential Records Act** ✅

    **Discussion of War Plans** ✅

  12. What confuses me as a non-American is that _this_ is the thing that’s prompted calls of leaders’ resignation.

    Not capitulating to Russia.

    Not threatening to annex other countries.

    Not Elon burning down every government department.

    It’s like Americans will whine about their evil government but only find it unacceptable when it’s also incompetent.

  13. I bet $20 that the Trump administration will try to blame and/or imprison the Atlantic journalist.

  14. “It’s April 6th and the Signal team has some how destroyed the offices of Congress but they are to be given sucker and a finger wagging and made to write a fake apology letter.” /s

  17. Trump is just going to say something about how Hillary Clinton should be in prison but she isn’t and just let all of this blow over without any repercussions lmao

  19. Fired fired fired resign resign resign

    These people should be ARRESTED! It is insane that I guess the best we can come up with is don’t pass go don’t collect 2 hundred dollars when we should be using go directly to jail 

  20. Get veterans involved. Make it a public outrage campaign. Criticize their competence. They’ll be fired if they become a liability to have in the administration.

  21. Republicans don’t face consequences. It’s a big part of why they are such horrible human beings.

  22. This whole thing is just further proof that the idiots at Fox News are incapable of doing the job that they’ve claimed democrats are incapable of doing. Hegseth didn’t even make it 3 fucking MONTHS before fucking up worse than he accused Hillary of doing. He’s a JOKE. We have a CLOWN in charge of American defense!

  23. But they won’t. 70 million voters wanted this shit show. They don’t care if this mistake was made. Dems try to make this a gotcha moment, but what they aren’t getting is that Republican voters don’t care if they are clowns.

  26. But they won’t because because how can you get a kakistocratie without criminally incompetent people?

  27. Mr Colbert you are being too mild. Yes our illustrious cabinet Members should ALL be fired but most of them also belong in jail. BUT this will be another bum of crap under Trumps carpet

  28. Imagine if you, a regular person, fucked up to this level at work. You’ve probably been fired for much, much less. I hope people are pissed by the hypocrisy at the very least.
