Surviving a second Trump admin

[Vrede too]

I saw they have something about it on the fox news website. Didn't see anything on TV about it though. CNN on the other hand was talking about it

Lead story on ABC News.

Yeah, this is a winning strategy when they're showing the texts.

David French Calls on Pete Hegseth to Resign Over Shocking Security Breach: ‘Potentially Criminal Charges’

New York Times columnist David French called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign on Monday after it was reported he was in a group chat on a commercial server discussing sensitive war plans....

To be fair the invite to join the chat came from National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. If we lived in normal times someone would be fired to make PINO look tough, or would fall on their sword to make the admin* look honorable. We'll see, could be some low level aid that faces consequences, if anybody does.

"pulling a supsale" could be our shorthand for any deceitful excuse making and deflection by MAGA.

Looks like the NSC has removed Hegseth from its comms list. Smart.

Damn you'd think they'd at least get the story straight before saying anything once word got out. IMO it looks less bad if they just own up to it. Instead Hegseth decides to just make stuff up

Fox’s Brit Hume on Hegseth’s response to war plans texts: ‘Oh for God’s sake’

And the headline on the Fox News website.

Pam Bondi threatens prosecution amid DOGE's findings about fraud: 'We're coming after you'

Bondi thanked Elon Musk for uncovering 'a tremendous amount of fraud'

Yet she never gave a concrete example, just some nebulous accusation that the SBA gave out 330 million dollars in loans to eleven year olds.

Oh, and Oops.

Homeboy was pounding down some drinks on the flight over. Also "warrior ethos"

We are at the fake news phase of denial.

Will Hegseth apologize for the LIES and the attack on Goldberg? Nah, he's a MAGAt. They are irresponsible cowards.

CNN Airs Damning Supercut of Trump Officials’ War Leak Hypocrisy
TABLES HAVE TURNED
“If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now,” Pete Hegseth said in 2016 about her use of a private email server.

Hillary Clinton Gives Perfect Response After War Plans Leak

... Rubio blasted Clinton in a Fox News interview in 2015, saying, “The exposure of sensitive information to foreign intelligence agencies by communicating in an insecure manner is incompetence, it is malpractice, it’s inexcusable.”

Waltz, who was the one to invite Goldberg to the group chat, was still bringing up Clinton’s emails in 2023....

Trump has repeatedly called for Clinton to be jailed for her use of a private email, leading chants of “lock her up!” at rallies.

FBI Director James Comey opened an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email 11 days before the election. Although the investigation reached the same conclusion—that Clinton had been “careless” but not acted criminally—two days before voters went to the polls, Clinton maintained it was “the determining factor” in her loss.

By using the Signal app—which is not approved for sharing classified information—to discuss highly sensitive plans about national security, the administration may have violated several laws, according to Goldberg.

He said the chat should not have been used to discuss military activity given that officials have designed spaces called sensitive compartment information facilities (SCIF) to do so.

Opps.

Hegseth, meanwhile, was apparently under the impression that security was airtight all along.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC,” he texted the chat, claiming the group was complying with “operational security” while Goldberg was still in the chat.

This last text is Jon Stewart's favorite.

... Stewart began his Monday monologue with a “quick update” on what he sarcastically described as “an administration that is once again carrying out its plans with competence and professionalism.” ...

The outrage from our local righties, CPF and LNF is so overwhelming they can't even talk about it.

You can send private messages to other users. Not sure about chat rooms though. I can guarantee President Dipshit likely sends PMs.

Sometime during his first term it was discovered his password was something easily guesses: maga2020!
