  1. Maybe they shouldn’t have confirmed these assholes to begin with

  2. …Only a few know that when he comes home, he ties a chop around his neck that at least the farm dog plays with him and pays attention …

  3. Maybe they should have asked prying questions about the signal chat during the committee hearings last week and not just kiss their ass and move on to other topics.

  4. Hopefully these low poll numbers Trump has been having will give some of these Republican rats and excuse to jump of the trump ship and actually do their job.

    The upcoming special elections might give them some more motivation in tightly contested districts.

  5. > Oklahoma Senator James Lankford saying an inquiry would be “entirely appropriate”.

    This is the guy who also voted against his own bipartisan border bill because trump told him to. I’m not going to put a whole heck of a lot of weight behind his current statements.

  6. > I don’t fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts,” he [Trump] said.

    But if you’re black or a woman and/or a federal employee Elon says needs to go, “you’re fired”.

  7. I don’t really get the need to investigate.

    Trump said his administration was going to be a meriocracy, and if so, then Waltz and Hegseth should suffer consequences. It’s not rocket science, not even Musk rocket science.

    After all most of here on Reddit would get sanctioned by our bosses if we did that, and we’d even take our kid’s phones away for a while if they did it. The only people on Planet Earth that get away with such incompetence are MAGAites.

  8. Yeah, me too, which will make as much of a difference as the impotent asshole Republican lawmakers.

  10. Everyone knew they were unqualified, even the republicans, guess the proof happened too soon.

  11. Trump or DOGE a going to fire any investigation team.

  12. Haven’t you heard? It wasn’t that big a deal, Biden and Hilary did way worse, and everyone has learned a valuable lesson. /s

  13. They aren’t interested in a real investigation, they just want to make it look like they are. 

    They want to pretend like they’ve seriously looked into it. So, they can then claim to be responsible stewards who care deeply about the rule of law, but it just so happens that there was no wrongdoing

  16. If republicans disagree with the current bs … they should just become Dems.
    What chaos that would create. Several sleazy faux Dems did that .., it can go both ways.
    Just a suggestion

  17. How about also a call to investigate Trump’s claim they are already exploring “legal” ways for a third term?

  18. These fucking assholes are responsible for all of this.

  19. They won’t do a damn thing. If they were serious, we’d have articles of impeachment for Trump, Vance and the rest of this incompetent circus of assclowns, by tomorrow morning.

  20. You know of course, they have not stopped using Signal. They are probably doing the same shit.

  21. I call BS, Rep/GOP probably want to know how to blame Democrats for this.

  22. If they don’t do anything, there should be NO action against military personnel that leak secrets.

  23. They just want someone to say their trigger word “Biden” during the investigation so they can fire up another “biden crime family must be brought down” task force

  25. They’re so cucked to Trump, afraid of Musk’s money, and deeply scared of the rabid MAGA base they spent years cultivating that their words are empty and toothless. Nothing will be done.

  26. Can someone find out why Hegseth has a Russian email address. Start with NSA resources. They should be able to handle this in three seconds.

  27. I hate to be petty, but this man looks like he’s made of plastic.

    George Carlin: …why is it that people who are opposed to abortion are people you wouldn’t want to fuck in the first place….

  28. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if the government didn’t regularly fire and prosecute employees for mishandling classified information.

  29. Sounds like a good idea.

    What the heck are these chuckleheads up to, using Signal.

    Morons

  31. The party of accountability holds people accountable about as well as my dogs hold in farts.

  32. Republicans with sanity. Poor souls. Don’t you know how to toe the line? /s

  34. Do us a favor and impeach Trump. Literally everyone on your end but Nixon, Reagan and Bush Jr. were more tolerable…. Grow a spine you guys….

  35. I’m sick of “investigations” what is there to investigate? We have the whole transcript we know who was in there, file charges. What are we investigating??

  36. I just phoned him to scream at him. MAGA sycophant now wants Inspector General to investigate Signal Gate? Trump fired them all didn’t he?

  38. for fuck sake, the crux of this issue is NOT the reporter being added, it’s setting the thread to auto-delete messages and violating the preservation of records that is bound by law.

    they are going to continue to argue this facetious classification point ad nauseum and pretend like the fact that the OP was successful is at all relevant, so anyone wanting to address this issue needs to pivot and take another tact. it’s pointless to face them head-on, you’ll never win because you cannot out-press the PR nightmare machine.

    find out why anything other than “when are we meeting to discuss that classified subject” is being discussed on a public platform using personal devices. that should be the number one question. yes, the reporter snafu is a fun easy thing to point at, but God knows what other highly classified material is being discussed in other threads? the more you pigeon hole the discussion into this single thread, the more you miss the forest for the trees.

  40. You know they’re serious. They’re harrumphing and wringing their hands.

  41. It’s purely performative brow furrowing. Nothing will happen

  43. But does the original brow furrower, Susan Collins, think that Hegseth has learned his lesson?
