  3. How do you hit something that was non-existent to begin with?

  6. This is amazing. True incompetence on display every day.

  7. He can’t be that stupid.

    On the other hand, of course he can.

  9. At this point I think it’s fair to say Signal is part of the SOP.

  11. This is what happens when you have incompetent and insecure douchebags in power.

  14. There’s an old saying in Tennessee … I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, leak plans once, shame on … shame on you. Leaked plans … I can leak plans again?

  16. Have they though of maybe following protocol and using approved communication channels?

  21. At this point isn’t it possible he is doing it on purpose for some motive?

  26. Likely Susan Collins: “But this time he learned his lesson.”

  28. Obama gave Bush a free pass on all his lies that got us into two wars. His VP becomes president in 2020 and gives Trump a free pass on everything, including a coup.

    Nobody has done more to legalize Republican impunity than Obama & Biden.No wonder republicans do whatever the fuck they want, because they never face consequences.And as we are witnessing now impunity breeds criminality.

  29. His bartender probably knows more national security secrets than JD Vance at this point.

  31. The problem with end-to-end encryption is there’s a person at each end, and sometimes that person is Pete Hegseth.

  33. What credibility? They picked him over literal Generals that have 40+ years of experience. Hegseths never had *any* credibility.

  34. So, if you want info on American security then you should just befriend Hegseth and he will include you in top secret chats. 

  35. Wow, so much incompetence. For all the evil in the regime, it’s also extremely entertaining to watch them make absolute idiots out of themselves.

    Can’t wait for 2028. By that time, America could very well be giant dumping ground, not in any way, shape or form resembling country where people used to live.

  36. *sigh* Why are the beautiful ones always dumb, drunk Nazis?

  39. man you know we’re in trouble when george dub looks is like a little teddy bear. 😳

  40. This man’s incompetence and lack of qualifications for his current position clearly illustrates the dishonesty and rampant cronyism of the Trump administration as it pushes the message that hiring should be based on “merit” alone.

    But putting that aside for a moment, I also want to call attention to the glaring hypocrisy of those on the right who continue to defend Hegseth and downplay his association with white supremacist groups, arguing that his tattoos are being misidentified. Yet at the same time, they continue to falsely accuse foreigners and even legal residents of being gang members based on non-gang affiliated tattoos.

    And this is all while many of these individuals have no links to gangs and no criminal records or convictions. Nevertheless, these tattoos are still being used as grounds for deportation.

    That being said:

    Hegseth has been accused of being an extremist. Even a fellow service member once called him an “insider threat” after seeing a tattoo of his that’s associated with white supremacist groups.

    > The Army considers an insider threat someone who “is a malicious threat to an organization that comes from a person or people within the organization.”

    Hegseth has of course blamed these criticisms on “wokeness,” and even wrote a book about it titled, “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.”

    Hegseth was also pulled from his National Guard duties due to concerns from members of his unit. Not a peep from conservatives about this.

    Then there was his outspoken and controversial support for the Blackwater contractors who killed 14 unarmed Iraqi Civilians during the 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad.

    > Hegseth lobbied President Donald Trump to pardon these contractors, which Trump ultimately did at the end of his first term.

    Shockingly, Hegseth has also downplayed January 6th, particularly the violent role that any veterans played during the attack.

    He’s one of the most incompetent and unqualified persons for his job. So much for “merit based hiring.” And for all of their whining, if the tables were turned, you know damn well that conservatives would be having a collective aneurysm if there was evidence of a democrat being linked to any one of Hegseth’s controversies. And this obviously includes the part he’s played in causing major national security failures.

    But let’s continue shall we?

    Hegseth previously led a partisan organization called “Concerned Veteran for America,” which has strong ties to the Koch Network. Hegseth was eventually forced out of the group due to “mismanagement of funds, sexual impropriety and reports of intoxicated behavior.”

    In fact, he was also booted from another conservative group, “Veterans for Freedom,” for similar complaints. Which raises questions about his suitability for a position that oversees the country’s largest federal agency that employs more than 2.8 million people.

    A report about Hegseth’s time as president of CVA describes him as being “repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity and sometimes needing to be carried out of the organization’s events.”

    Hegseth has been a Fox News contributor since 2014. Merit based you say? Sounds more like favoritism.

    He has also been vocal in the past about his opposition to women serving in combat roles. Many women in uniform have expressed fears that Hegseth will hinder efforts to prevent sexual assault and harassment in the military.

    Hegseth has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in California after a speaking engagement. It’s been reported that he barred the door to her hotel room and took away her cell phone.

    Although Hegseth denied the allegations, he did pay a settlement to the accuser. Questions were raised when his account of the events changed while under investigation.The settlement also included a confidentiality agreement.

    In the name of eliminating “wokeness” and “DEI,” Hegseth’s DOD is also firing persons of color from high ranking military positions. People with distinguished careers and extensive military experience, making them much more qualified than Pete for their positions.

    Hegseth also recently fired General CQ Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a firing that was part of a broader ‘purge” of top military officials all suspected of being so-called “DEI” hires. How rich considering Hegseth’s utter lack of qualifications for his current position and his recent displays of immense incompetence.

    > Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth[…] tagged Brown with being a DEI hire.

    > Although Hegseth had been meeting regularly with Brown… he openly questioned whether Brown had been named chair because he was Black. “Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt – which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter,” Hegseth wrote in one of his books.

    What a load of BS. Hegseth is using these rhetorical questions to justify his blatant discrimination.

    Who’s really obsessed with race here? Because it seems Republicans like Hegseth are the ones always presuming that race or gender has something to do with a woman or person of color being hired to a position of authority, glossing over the fact that maybe these people were hired because of their experience and qualifications.

    > “We want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice,” Hegseth told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday”… “And don’t exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything that happens in their spots.”

    Saying the quiet part out loud… The goal here isn’t “merit based hiring,” it’s to install loyalists into positions of power where they can help Republicans skirt the law.

    Following one of Trump’s recent EOs, the DOD began eliminating “DEI content” by archiving pages that highlighted the contributions of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and minorities.

    They also flagged over 26,000 images and countless web pages for deletion. This included tributes to historical figures and black military heroes.

    The Pentagon also targeted pages honoring the Navajo Code Talkers and the segregated Japanese 442nd regimental combat team that fought in WWII.

    The DOD has also overseen a comprehensive “purge” of “DEI related” terms and phrases from government platforms and online pages.

    This included the banning words and phrases such as “justice,” “dignity,” “respect,” “equality,” “inequality,” “female,” “women,” “socioeconomic,” “underprivileged,” and “cultural heritage,” among many others… (Free speech my ass)

    Most of what’s being targeting isn’t even associated with “DEI.” But that hasn’t stopped the Trump administration from giving itself the unilateral authority to dictate what constitutes “DEI.” These measures are nothing short of authoritarian.

    This effort only showcases the GOP’s glaring hypocrisy and the demonstrable double standards they live by while they continue to cry about “censorship” “free speech,” and their self-victimizing delusions of “reverse discrimination.”

    Republicans continue to ignore this blatant contradiction while they espouse colorblind rhetoric yet complain that it’s really the white, Christian hegemony that’s under attack in this country.

  41. No consequences for the first time, why not do it again

  42. I’m not sure what’s worse. That he did it again, or that he wasn’t smart enough to hide it.

  44. First one didn’t matter this won’t break through either

  45. I’m only mad bc I thought of this when I saw it at dinner but didn’t have time to meme it
