Is Pete back on the booze?

A. Stupid enough to use a group chat for war plans.
B. Copy a reporter into said chat.
C. Surrounded by idiots that didn't know: A is bad, or catch B

Irresponsible shit like this is what happens when you have incompetent people in powerful positions that they have no business being in... hell, I am surprised drunk Petey didn't accidentally send a dick pick out to everyone and thought he was just sending it to Pam Bondi. Haha

I think Pete’s and Pam’s babies would be pretty. I would support that hookup. Much better looking than most republican love children.

I suspect that the chat web was around before Trump's return. I would be very interested in why a reporter is automatically part of the chat. However, like finding cocaine in the West Wing, I'll wait for the investigation before hurling stones.
... Rather obvious that someone from the Deep State added the
Atlantic reporter fellow to the discussion chat.
In a rather obvious attempt to smear the Trump administration.

Let the liberal lads laugh and scoff - they have so little else.
Not even voter approval. ...

And the reporter wasn't "automatically" added to the group. One of the idiots minions invited him,..


Your "mates" BS holds even less water...unless the deep state is ran by the Retrumptards.

One of the big things *I* hate about donny: got a big mouth that definitely causes chaos like this. Those on the hill with a braincell know they shouldn't let him see classified stuff, potus or not. Just end up in the shitter or stored in the shitter room in florida.

Before you go off on a tear...remember how Biden outed Seal Team Six.

Now, an explanation but maybe not THE explanation. Someone sits down at a computer where the OFFICES are listed and not the occupants. They are all national security officers. I can remember company email chains for Production, Sales, Operations, and Research. No names, just the computer in the office. Still have to ask why was a reporter, that reporter, read into this?

It is sloppy and there needs to be an investigation and, unlike Biden, accountability.

Anyone familiar with Jeffrey Goldberg? Pete Hegseth doesn't seem to like him very much.

I've seen people demoted (and termed) for a lot less. Not to mention, these people who are so sloppy have been named in public. If you were a foreign state actor with skilled cyber assets would you not be targeting these people's freeware messaging apps and devices?



Hello China, Russia, North Korea...idiots on the web using private devices for secret government communications, and the owners are probably too dumb to even keep them up to date on security patches. LM nailed it, incompetent and unqualified people in positions they shouldn't be near.

I don't think anyone said it was smart. Like I said, it was sloppy. Unlike you, I'm waiting for an investigation. Stop trying to create drama where there is none.

lol...me trying to create drama where there is none? Even the Dumpster administration can't get their story straight on this. Let's see that accountability Tulsi said was required...for herself or any of the other idiots that are this stupid.

I don't know what happened to my comment of a few minutes ago but;

In my opinion, this is a Trump troll to catch chumps.

The journalist/editor is famous for pushing the discredited story about "Trump calls soldiers loser" while in Europe. Goldberg is not on the list of favorites. He ended up on a text chat...that sounds so far fetched unless it was intentional. Why?

To discredit Goldberg? To introduce to the public and European leaders the thought of the administration? Let Europe do some stepping up. That and maintain deniability.

What's wrong with this picture?

A casual chat among peers without any banal comments, no abbreviated texts among people who are all the same page? Clear language designed to let laymen understand the conversation? Seems odd.

Then there is Goldberg saying they were discussing whether or not to commit. That decision was already made. The jets were loaded and on the flight deck. The missiles had been tasked. Two hours according to Goldberg. The only decision left was a last second abort because Nicholas Cage was holding flares in his hands.

This whole thing is too pat and the journalist is suspect.

Troll bait based on what we know so far.

One last thing, if something was classified then the response should be "no comment".

Lesser people have lost their rank and job over such.
There are reasons why hardened communication channels are in place and rules governing their use. All of this was completely ignored.

You can't claim that when the WH has confirmed it happened.

And regardless how the thin skinned melange one perceives the guy, he was of such journalistic integrity that he didn't openly spout off the Top Secret aspects of such loose jabberings of all the idiots involved.

This ain't a troll in any fashion.

It is a glaring display of the complete idiocracy of those that have been chosen for their ability to apply their oral orifice to the orange prostate. This quality was chosen over people of professional calibre. People of both parties.

I will state again that this shows a bias I have. Family and friends I have worked in the intelligence field. Deeply so that when they separated they did not have freedom to do such things because of the clearance they have/had.

To see people shoot off their mouths so wrecklessly disgust me. And that journalist was probably the only one who sat on the classified stuff. Lord knows who else got ahold of it because of these stupid bozos.
