He's way too jumpy and twitchy to be sober.

Keep digging

Pretty obvious even to the non alcoholics among us.

Wow, he’s a bit unhinged. Can’t wait for the journalists to bring receipts.

Definitely coked up to offset the booze from earlier.

Lying trump 💩!!

Real hardcore drunks are great at covering symptoms, especially speech. Experience taught me so.

Only the Russians who’ve hacked into his signal account know for sure

He’s utterly and completely out of his depth. He is unfit for the role and his incompetence will only become more apparent and more dangerous. Military personnel deserve better, the country deserves better. Tragically, Trump demands that sycophants surround him so he feels in control and superior.

SOP for Trumpies, deny everything, admit nothing.

I mean, you can tell he's sputtering because what he did was indefensible and embarrassing. And he's drawing from an old playbook, which has worked for #Trump in the past, but it just looks even more amaturish and sad under these circumstances

You know I enjoyed watching Pete Hegseth explain his bumbling leak today to a reporter SO MUCH, that I made a gif of it so we can watch it over and over and over and over and.. well enjoy! #PeteHegseth #Hegseth #leak #castofidiots #signal #warplans

His body language tells me this is how he talks to his wife after each time he’s been caught assaulting a woman

All he needs is long hair and manicured long nails and he’d be a Real Housewives of the White House flipping his hair back and having an outburst

So who bombed the houthis, Pete?

OMG - he is so inept and such a loser. What an incredibly poor representative of our best! and liar

NO EFFING WAY

Because it's NOT just his job that's on the line. But his freedom.

It was no hoax. What a load of shit.

Liar.

He is fluent in Grifting 101.

If this doesn't drive him back on the bottle, I don't know what would. But stay tuned. 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽

What a freaking disgrace and unqualified person. Can’t even admit to something they did wrong and put our country and security in jeopardy. This whole administration is a joke and dangerous

Sounds very Trumpian to me. He’s under orders.

“Highly discredited journalist”from a former Fox News weekend co-host

No doubt Petey got loaded on the flight

He can’t even lie intelligently.

Stoned OR drunk

What happens when you give car keys to an ALCOHOLIC? Surely, the Master Race people can figure this one out.

ROFL When confronted with your utter incompetence, lie about the journalist. How pathetic.

MINI BAR.

Why doesn’t the reporter just say get the fuck out of here? This is from like another fucking planet. How deep is the rot?

I say Goldberg calls his bluff and releases them...

He did have a couple screenshots in his article. www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

During Henry VIII’s reign in 1534, one was legally charged with treason for referring to the ruler as a tyrant. The penalty for the crime was death. Is this where the oligarchs, Congress, and courts are allowing this monster to take the country?

We're not there yet but we're getting there.

Shrill psychopath

Hey whatever happened with the trip to Fort Knox to check on the gold??? Or all those cats and dogs being eaten?

Truly the worst and the dullest.

bsky.app/profile/donm...

He's crapping himself. Patton he's not.

Does he know this was confirmed? Or is he now in the deny, deny, deny, and lie phase?

I'm just stunned someone with Hegseth's background and demeanor could have been so reckless. I mean who could have predicted

Oh , the cover up begins !!

The journalist cares more about this nation's security than all the other people on the group text put together.

🤣

But you’re an amateur, Pete’s a professional.

He's the husband a wife walks in on while he's fucking the maid, denies it, then yells at the wife that she's crazy for accusing him of cheating.

My ex-husband actually did something close to that. Seriously.

Crazy making is a tool a lot of abusive men use too.

Raises fist and says: who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

We are being governed by a group of extremely abusive men.

Then throws her up against the wall

And there we go, lie and deny. The motto of the MAGA party.

Yeah, Pete, and flies don't stick to shit either. Try again once you've had your bracer.

I think that we’re all used to the Trump lies. That his entire administration is full of liars, if I were Greenland, Canada or anywhere else thinking about dealing with the U.S., I would right now be building a massive defensive wall.

He's gonna have such a hangover in the morning!

Liar

And this nincompoop is the US Secretary of Defense? Bloody hell, what can go wrong

men are just too emotional for this type of work.

He looks scared shitless & it’s obvious he’s lying through his teeth. I hope he’s sent to that El Salvador prison where Trump sent innocent ppl with no criminal record. Trump’s ppl are as incompetent as they come but Trump did do the impossible - in 60 days he turned USA into a shithole whore house.

Seems as if the whole administration has taken the course Incoherent Answers 101. I've never heard such bullpucky babble from government officials in my life.

Goldberg saved his ass by not disclosing what all was on the text, but this is the thanks you get from a white priv guy who drunkenly wrecked your room then blamed you for the cleaning bills.

Bye bye Pete. One can always hope.

He is done.

Hogpiss is a FUCKING LIAR! Jeffrey is career journalist with great credentials. On the other hand... HOGPISS IS A DRUNK, LYING SHIT PILE SYCOPHANT DUMBSTER SCUMBAG.

Not the measured, well thought out response a true military leader would give.

Drunk on the job.

Hahaha sadly the numbnuts who love these fuck twats will eat this up

Taking his cue from Fox "News" and tRump and Levitt and...

Lie.. that’s what he does best!

High level alcoholics are good at hiding their intoxication.

What is really sad is I trust the Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg with national secrets more than I do anyone in the Trump administration.

The dude did the most #Patriotic thing he could do.

Every hoax he gave as an example has been proven true. 😂🤷‍♂️

Compare and constrast:

🤣🤣🤣🤣so incompetent. Someone called it, said they'd blame the journalist😡

#firepetehegseth

His excuse sounded more like if the Biden administration did what they should have done I wouldn't have had to send the text. How embarrassing for him.

DTs hitting

What? He needs to go pronto. I would not trust him with my super secret salsa recipe that I don't have but might have tweeted insecurely

Totally SHITFACED. Motherfucker deserves a billet.

I don’t know if he drinks and drives, but I know that he drinks and lies.

It was a text book MAGA answer. They’ll swallow it.

Straight from the play book: attack, deny & never admit defeat

I think maga was counting on a Pete explanation to push back on the accusation. What they got was a bad review of The Atlantic

How many cabinet members does it take to screw in a light bulb?.. 🙏👋🙏👋💪🇺🇸🇺🇸

How many does it take to screw the country?

lol same answer sans emojis. 🤓

He’s scared shitless with that answer

I thought I read in the Atlantic article that someone from the administration already confirmed its authenticity. So, go home Pete. You’re drunk. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

I am kind of shocked that people appear to be so surprised. This seems totally on brand for Trump’s level of “talent.”

I’d read it… but Mediaite is a trash site that literally hired an employee of RussiaToday to write Conservative articles to “balance” the legitimate ones.

Who is VP ? Putin?

Haha. You’re obviously not a pro like Pete. Try cracking open the Jaegermeister at 8 am for a few weeks and see how you do

He does realize half the internet has seen them, correct. 🤣😂 what a dipshit!

I wish I had the confidence to scream “nuh-uh” all the time. I bet he always wins an “I’m rubber… you’re glue…” battle.

"functioning alcoholic"

The man is shook.

He's a professional 🍸

Too many Cokes?

Or too much

It’s all the bourbon Canada sent back 👀

That's a possibility as well. I'm guessing powder and drinks are defo on the plane ride, just a feeling.

He must be hammered right now.

He probably is drunk.

How else will MAGA justify this otherwise? This is on par.

But no denial. Just attack the reporter, attack Joe Biden and praise Trump.

Oh no now it’s fake news? Please…😠

"no officer you see there was a squirrel that kept running out in front of my car and the squirrel was Biden"

I’m surprised he didn’t say it was Biden. That’s their “go to” scapegoat for everything they’re getting wrong.

He’s trying to cover his ass

You don't think he was drunk here? I do.

The playbook - deny deny deny - and the low hanging fruit will just believe.

He's been at it for a while.

Lie lie deny (smirk) attack - he’s got his own little twist on the Roy Cohn way 🥴

Not gonna hack it.

He’s an absolute idiot. Moron. First thing he does is shift the blame. Like this discredited journalist added himself to the chat right? Riiiigght! Actually buffoon might be a better word for this disgrace to the uniform.

To be fair, he's had a lot of practice.

Has anyone started a pool on who gets fired first? I’ve got five bucks

thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Well @gtconway.bsky.social we know where Hegseth was before the call. He was grabbing breakfast.

I have had a few drinks in my day, but no manner of spirit has ever helped me deny reality. I need to know what Pete is drinking to help me get through the next 48 months.

His huge White Nationalist tattoo infected his tiny little, alcohol soaked brain.

If he didn’t leak them, they can be published. Since it’s fake news.

JFC

It’s classic. Deny and point the finger. Trump Tactics 101

Good possibility he is drunk.

He’s had LOTS of practice

Oh the lies! Too many to count. Stupid liars always get caught!

Don't believe what you see and hear 😤

'Managing 4 yrs of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration' - haha- that will be true in 2028 since they're on track to let the country fall into ruins. But seriously wow what a disjointed, nonsensical non-answer. Flood the zone w/BS & blame everybody else. Trump Art of Governance 101.

So called "secretary of defence"... So called "president"... Time to flip the script..

The cabin crew are hurriedly hiding all the empty shot glasses and beer bottles

So, on purpose?

Legit sounds drunk, and I know what drunks sound like.

Big surprise! Hegseth is already denying everything. There has to be an investigation, there would be if a democrat did it, but I doubt it. It's already called a hoax made up by the journalist who will, no doubt, become the fall guy. There was a US on jan 19th and then there is a US since jan 20th.

You obviously don’t know Jeff Goldberg.

Hegseth may be literally drunk, but this whole crew is functionally drunk - they all made the same idiot decision to share this info on Signal.

“This highly discredited journalist, whom I invited into my war planning group chat” is some beer logic

Are you insinuating that hegseth was sober for this interview?

128oz Cadillac margarita is kicking in.

That’s because you aren’t a professional drunk Mr. Conway 😊

Liar!

So proof he’s also a liar..🤥

This is what happens when you put a drunken reservist in charge of your entire military. No surprises here.

😃😆🤣🤣😂

The guy is an idiot… The only way we’re going to get to the truth is when Karoline Leavitt gives her press briefing on the subject…😆😂😆😂😆😂

I didn’t think it was possible for this idiot to sound more arrogant than he looks, but I was wrong. What a tool!

George, only people inclined to lie in the first place could do something like this sober or drunk.

Colossal piece of shit.

What an idiot. This will just prompt the release of the texts .

Espionage. Firing squad

He’s such a DEI hire!!!

Donald Trump’s America.

NORTON!!

Russia, Russia, Russia is real. Suckers and losers is real. Signal chat of Yemen war plans to Goldberg is real.

Sears-Roebuck truss model says what?

Mike Johnson just confirmed it Idiots they are all idiots

He should resign

I can’t even stomach listening to that

i hope that he took screen shots...

What a tool

The 5th dimension chess players didn’t actually do this. But had they done it it wouldn’t have been that bad because it showed a very mature and sensible cooperation within the team 😂😂. Wow, they really need to coordinate their communication better, including Pravda/Fox

Come on now, we are the smart ones. Put a breathalyzer under mic foam…

He responds like Trump does. Don't answer the question and then attack the person asking the question or the subject of the question.

He didn't learn anything at Trump University. Donald should be ashamed.

In his defense he was probably stone drunk.

Edibles?

Both he and Pam Bondi look like they are recovery from a hang over. Pam looked like she didn't wash her hair and her roots are showing.

A hoax that was factually accurate 2 hours later? They really rely hard on the gaslighting.

Yeah everyone will believe that dumbass.

This is real life ... lies and spin maybe all you need on Fox ... but out here in reality there's a thing called FACTS.

I always deny drunk texting war plans

I saw this video. He looked kind of toasted to me.

I think that even coming out of heavy anesthesia, I would still be more coherently than "sober" Pete Hegseth.

Fuck my typo - coherent

Hey, Mr. Conway I have a question for you. With your experience as an insider, were there scandalous tales you heard about all those Stepfordish MarAlago plastic mannequins that are ubiquitous in Trump's space and how much drug fueled office sex do you figure is going on this time around

Drunk moron. Go away loser. I hope you die bitch. You put yourself over the entire military. Fuck you MAGA Pete, you drunk fuck.

He’s a drunken SOB many many people are saying 🇺🇦💙🤘🏽

You think he wasn’t ?

But his texts

He's been drinking on the job for decades... he's a pro.

He was stone drunk

These fucking people…..

* They invited Elon Musk to listen in on top secret China war plans. * They also invited an Atlantic journalist to read top secret Yemen war plans. I'll take How Does A Presidency Made Up Of Convicted Felons, Pedophiles, & Drunks Conduct Business for $500, please Alex.

They also shared Israeli defence secrets with the Russians during tRump’s first admin.

Big Pete is big mad now! Throws out some Trump greivance golden oldies to distract from a spectacularly ridiculous scandal of discussing military operations on a glorified group chat, complete with fire emojis.

If it’s a hoax then they can publish all of it, right? Right? 🤔

We have the DNI and Director CIA testifying under oath multiple times that no classified information was sent via Signal Seems clear to publish.

thehill.com/policy/defen...

Not only is hegseth totally dumb he even accentuates his dumbness by opening his mouth

Two major leaks in less than a week. Pete’s got some splainin’ to do… once he sobers up 🥃

Kinda like: “Did you cheat on your wife”.

Waffle lie waffle deflect waffle lie waffle and more waffle. Just like his boss

BREAKING: Weekend chat show host makes a boo boo.

Keep trying. We can't let them win.

Hoaxes, lol….his 2 examples were literally caught on camera coming from his dear leader….. who is probably big mad tonight.
