You’re fired.

Because Trump only hires people who are dumber than him, so the bar is very low

Hire stupid people, get stupid results

Q

He's definitely gonna need a drink after this

Apparently in vino veritas doesn't work with this dude

Deny, deflect, dismiss, disparage and defame the media source

Rule #1 of the Trump Admin's playbook under the section: 'Whenever You Fuck Up and Get Caught.'

Yep. Short version of Roy Cohn’s playbook. 1) attack, attack, attack; 2) admit nothing and deny everything; and 3) always claim victory and never admit defeat. These principles were designed to help Trump navigate challenges and maintain a strong public image.

You Pete, and the entire clown car , must be fired. The clown car is fired.

I really, really hope Jeff Goldberg sues him for defamation. JG has receipts!

I mean sue him to hell and gone

He's drunk off his dumb ass.

Lie your way to cult belief.

In a statement National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said that “the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain.” This article from.. Marine Corps Times

Shouldn't they be reviewing how top government officials were sharing classified information in a chat group?

He’s lying like a Yemeni rug.

Yup. Liars lie. It’s what they do.

So they use an unapproved app all the time and this time there was an “oopsie” made public- how many others weren’t? FFS

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

That guy we added, who told on us, he’s totally not credible and he’s wrong for reporting our conversations. He’s a reporter, just not a good one, until we wrote his story for him.

Which means they were sharing extremely sensitive information with someone they felt was dangerous and not credible. That's not a good recommendation on their security practices.

Excuse him, he misspoke, he was drunk.

Except the NSC said you were so

boy is way too emotional and needs to stop acting like a kid who got his hand caught in the cookie jar

Angry boy say what? 😂

To every Democrat leader right now this is your opportunity to run this into the ground you bring this up every single time. Start an investigation because we know if this is a Democrat administration the Republicans would be having a field day

The Democrats in congress better do something about it. Don't count on DOJ to lift a finger.

I hope they do because you're right DOJ won't do anything

Angry drunk says what?

Technically they were sexting

HAHAHAHAHAH

It was just locker room texting!!!

Boys will be boys.

Gotta tell them: it’s okay to surrender, to give in, resistance is futile. 😘 🌈 have another drink!

Boys with boys? 👀 oh my! 🌈 *meeting at the RNC.* 💞

They have weird turn ons.

Yo dude he has the screen shots. Just like as an FYI. 👊🇺🇸🔥

I feel like they’re going to try to say they are fakes

Going to try to pretend to be the victim here, too. Don't ever let them. Illegal, immoral and showing weakness up to and including the VP. Ironically, Trump might be the only one not DIRECTLY implicated in this, because they tried to keep him out of the loop. It's such a shit show.

Except that as their “boss” wouldn’t he be complicit somehow? I mean, the president “letting his team talk about war manoeuvres on signal” would make him liable, I would think

Baby steps and new normal. In a sane world this WOULD be a problem that goes all the way to the top, but this time, they've set themselves up to be split apart by having everyone but Trump implicated. ANY consequence require MAGA approval Not polite to complain when recieving gifts such as these.

I mean Goldberg has them

If JG takes Hegseth to court, he can prove it was from the app & it's not classified info!

But the White House already confirmed the group was real 🤯 I will not be surprised if they deny though. I suspect the legal team at @theatlantic.com made sure their publication was tightly vetted for potential discrediting and legal attacks prior to publishing though

It is mindblowing that the majority of people are not surprised by the incompetence of this administration.

It was very, very carefully written: lots of “alleged” and “assumed to be.”

Busted.

Hegseth is likely pounding another bottle back.

Give it up bozo we’ve seen the evidence

Wtf was this then? Or was he blacked out drunk?

Also, since when do purse carriers for drunkards dictate when Q&A sessions are done?

Hegseth lies

He’s lying

Accurate.

Liar

Is he drunk?

Yup. His aggressive movements, false bravado, and just general air of being an asshole are all signals. Except he’s always like this, so…

Fun fact: alcoholics are drunk 24/7, whether they're actively consuming alcohol, or not. When people drink excessively daily, their bloodstream is a toxic shit-show. Additionally, a dry drunk is almost always mean as cat shit.

1000%, I have an alcoholic parent. I’ve seen it all. Dry drunk is generally worse :( Luckily mine has been sober for a while, but it’s triggering to see the same motions and hear the same blowhard kind of personality.

For me it was my mom. Same energy though.

Yep. I'm reading dry drunk, at least I did when he made his comments on the tarmac in Hawaii.

Probably.

Wild consider the WH already confirmed they in fact, were! These people are the worst fucking gaslighting narcissistic pieces of shit in existence. I hope they all destroy themselves.

So you’re a nobody. Got it!

They were shared on signal because it’s clearly less secure.. this wasn’t an accident.. imo

This is why you don’t let DUI candidates from Fox News run federal agencies.

This drunk MFK doesn’t know what he did an hour ago.

This is just one of many reasons why appointing an alcoholic to be SecDef is a really bad idea. 🤦‍♂️

🥃🥃🥃

I read Hegseth and crew were doing Jager bombs while the bombing was "going down"... (Jagermeister and Red Bull) Actually I read it in the sentence right before this one, so maybe not that reliable...

Can't wait until he is a nobody again.

Any republicans want to stand up and demand this shithead gets fired?

F'g buffoon.

#Pigseth drinks like a swine.

He lies.

Dumb bitch

GOP strategy: Deny deny deny…

Run away, run away!

and then The Atlantic drops the receipts

So you were texting war plans

One again, lies, lies and more lies.

Have another drink, Pete.

He has A LOT of tells when he’s lying. He should avoid playing poker. Probably why he always gets caught cheating.

Liar

Guess Secretary Tipsy’s own mother was right about him.

Lying sack of you know what.

He just gave himself away.

First rule of trump politics: Deny, deny, deny

Screenshot screenshot screenshot. There are reciepts to this.

is he drinking again?

His body language is a tell

He’s lying because he hadn’t been told it was already authenticated!!! Resign Hegseth or Leavenworth if you prefer!!!!

Lying liar rat faced mf

Asshole

Lies lies lies. What an incompetent bunch of assholes

You're not on entertainment news anymore, dipshit.

He should have to blow into a breathalyzer to unlock his phone!

Every 30 minutes

They just lie

BREAKING: Hegseth’s next statement will just be the lyrics to The Brothers Osborne song, “It Ain’t My Fault”

Is he sober?

He's drunk.

Drunk-ass liar.

www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2009/no...

Sure looked like war plans.

I think we’re splitting hairs on doctrinal terms. Maybe not “war plans” in that sense, but definitely sensitive information that shouldn’t have been on Signal, irrespective of whether or not a journalist was on the chat.

How about Hegseth apologizing for the tragic mistake instead of lying.

He looks fucking insane.

Totally drunk

Combative drunk. It's an addiction thing.

I don’t know what he looks like sober, but he sure looks drunk to me. And what are the odds he maintains his sobriety on the most humiliating day of his life?

This is why I fucking despise alcohol man

He's a belligerent drunk. That's his tell.

When you are on your Fox show and you admit that you haven’t washed your hands in ten years, because germs aren’t real - and that is not the most humiliating day of your life -

😂🤣😂🤣

I shouldn’t be laughing.

I mean… I’ve laughed at worse. It’s my favorite coping mechanism.

Never sit with me at a funeral, Freebo.

🤭😹😸😺🫶

Maybe the wake, we can blame the liquor. (Even if we don’t drink)

We laugh and we resist.

Laughing to me is resisting. We need joy to keep up morale. What did Emma Goldman say when people told her she shouldn’t dance?

He definitely doesn’t look innocent

We don't plan. We follow the model set by our US based boss. We are reactive. The news cycle is our trigger. We wag the tea cup breeds. By speaking words, my mind does a preemptive magic think declassifion. We follow the orders of our froiegn sponsors for OPSEC.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth. But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

Hahaha!

Heglie. Soon to be in the dictionary. We are all fucked.

Trump already told him admit to nothing if you do your fired.

Headline: Hegseth drowns in his own excrement.

When you hire for incompetence, then you only hire incompetents.

But ya were Pete, ya were

Please, someone, ask SECDUI what the value of a warfighter is to him... clearly, this admin views veterans as unworthy of support & based on this, they could care less about the active military & our security if adversaries could listen in so I wanna fucking know what value American life is to him

Did he miss his Bloody Mary this morning👊😳🫢😑😱He needs to RESIGN pronto🫳🤯

You were…

Hegseth is a lying fascist/Magat sack of pig shite!

“another bottle of Jack for Pete, and put it on his tab”

For anyone who wants to know some 'Inside Baseball' on these latest #Hegseth person actions, here's some info on, "Inadvertent Disclosure of Classified Information". Gonna be a Lot of These Forms passed around, too. www.byrdcenter.org/uploads/6/7/...

Was he blacked out drunk? Jeffrey Goldberg said Hegseth had discussed them but he felt it would be inappropriate to print the information. Maybe he can’t read? Either way, he should resign.

Drunk liar

Sure!😡😡

Are you all just going to allow this to happen? No resignations? Forget about it all by the next news cycle? It is not enough just to notice and bear witness.

Wow - Jeffrey Goldberg just confirmed. Looks like Signal is the “go to” App for DoD - 18 people. What a disgrace thehill.com/policy/natio...

Subpoena everyone's phone involved. Pretty easy way to find out what's true and what's a lie.

He's fucked. He'll be lucky to not get fired by tweet at 2am.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Fox News weatherman is in way over his head

Dude, we have the receipts. Goldberg has the receipts! And because y'all are "The Gang That Couldn't Pee Straight" we ALWAYS have The Trump Crime Syndicate™ receipts. It might take some time, but we ALWAYS get to see the receipts!

📰List is getting longer everyday.

tRump tower of crime & cover ups....

This is an excellent visual summary of Felon which should be widely reposted.~reminds me of the Tower Card #16 in the Tarot which symbolizes a great fiery upheaval and downfall for rebirth to take place

Where’s the breathalyzer? Press corps… come prepared

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for🙄

Hegseth is a moron. Don Jr. would beat him.

bsky.app/profile/laug...

* Do not trust Trump. Trump is a liar. Trump is insane. Trump speaks from the mouths of his political appointees. Trump’s political appointees are lying for Trump. In depth psychology it is called a psychic epidemic or mass-psychosis, aka “Cult”. 77 million fundamentalist voters. *

Discredit the reporter then deny. At least they're consistent.

I'm fine!!! I'm fine!!! Hic..

Why is Signal being used to circumvent the Presidential Records Act?

To circumvent the Freedom of Information Act No records, no information to share if it’s requested

Coke, alcohol? What was he doing on the plane?

Time to show the screen shots and photos.

Did anybody ask how the "not drinking" thing is coming along? 🤔

bsky.app/profile/jess...

I lie about the lies I lied about when I was lying, which is how we break this down!

What did the “reporter” say next? These fascists have gotten this far because of the deceit & cowardice of our so-called “reporters”

Did anyone think there would be an apology! Hegseth’s attorney blew it! Hegseth should’ve never made any comment! But since he did, it’s nice to see how fast they tried to cover up! Hope that Atlantic reporter has good security! 🧌🤬

It's just crazy to say that this motherfucker is going to keep his job. It's like anybody with a regular job who does one fuck up at their job will obviously get fired but this man is in charge of a whole military does one fuck up and still keeps his job? How the fuck does this make sense?

It fucking does NOT!

I can smell the alcohol on his breath in this clip.

But Hillary’s emails

Hes swaying alot as if unbalanced.

Idiot

🤣

Foghorn Leghorn Fox Analyst leaks U.S. War plans while cosplaying SecDef.

Sure...

Ugh. They really don’t care about anyone hacking into their discussion do they.

That's just it. No one hacked them, this was a classic "Reply All" kind of situation.

They "invited" the journalist!! 🙄

I was think about other nefarious actors hacking into the Signal app

Signal is probably infected with all sorts. Sure as hell not "secure".

but they were…

*spoilers: they were texting war plans

Gin and soda.

I hope i am still alive when they are jailed and this horseshit weaksauce treason is played in perpetuity in their jail cells.

They should make a sitcom out of it with obvious laugh tracks.

"Nobody was texting war plans" said man who texted war plans

Does he think we’re stupid. Talk about propaganda but the base will believe.

Um, yeah, you were

Liar

Liar

DUI hire.

It makes you wonder....

I'll take badly singed trousers for $500, Alex.

This entire administration is trying to gaslight an entire population and it's not working lmao

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. Nothing. This country is fucked beyond belief.

FoxNews scrambling to blame Biden administration and DEI for their fu*kup.

"It was Hillary!"

Oh, I thought that was Hegseth running for a 🥃

He’s got the receipt for it

Does Hegseth think he can “Jedi mind-trick” himself out of his?

Jedi mind tricking himself!

“We’re not the dopes you’re looking for…”

Right

Foolish deranged souls-sold-to-demons-willingly grabbing devil’s (Satan’s) temptations-seductions thru demons w/o a sec of hesitation who R in WH in control of the USA 🇺🇸?!?!?! ….. TalkG abt pathetic, doomed Country…. Oh LORD, have mercy on the PPL who R desperate to do righteously in YR name, LORD

Is he willing to say the same thing under oath?

Do you really think he’d think twice about lying under oath? Nah.

Of course he’d lie under oath. But lying to the press is not a crime, lying under oath is.

That’s what the lawyers are telling him to say!! Big fu** up Petey…. BIG!!!

Now it’s time to release the screenshots.

Screenshots were included in the article.

I wish the journalist had had foresight to take a photo of the screen just as proof that it really happened. They’re going to do a character assassination on the journalist, just wait.

Liar.

Freaking fuckwit.

I loathe him so much it’s hard to even listen

The reporter should counter that #Hegseth s team already confirmed it. Hegseth is such a Liar!

And an alcoholic: not a secret alcoholic, but a full blown, fired for being an alcoholic, alcoholic.

They could show us and easily debunk him then

Deflection, Evasion, and Inversion. DEI. I get it.

It depends how you define 'war', and 'plans'. They were just plans to bomb some guys.

Bullshit

Lies!! Lies!! Lies!! Weak, corrupt, incompetent and unqualified!!! He must resign now!!!

He seems stressed, he’ll be ok, it’s happy hour time in DC

He is lying. He lied in his appointment hearing. He is despicable just despicable

Yes. by all means, keeping digging a hole for your self.

2+2=3. Next question.

Fire him

What a chump

Wow- a Secretary of Defense who is totally dishonorable and an out and out liar. What could go wrong?

What an effing liar!

untrained and not qualified... A real leader would have either not let this happen or would be investigating the spill.

How far back do you have to stand to not get “contact” drunk? Just curious.

BLOCK THAT CHICK BOT!

I just did, thanks! 👍

Nobody was texting war plans. It was "concepts of a plan".

Who needs spies when gov officials just text state secrets? At this rate, expect nuclear codes on BeReal next week. #Oops #NationalInsecurity

These folks still think if you repeat a lie enough times, it becomes the truth.

They continue to lie and lie about not only the nefarious shift of wealth to the top but also their blatant incompetencies.
