I have to warn Mr. Speaker that Trump sometimes looks back when he gets his ass licked. If he then sees you wiping your mouth, the pants might go up again.
MJ: "Look, as long as nothing was said about or linked to the secret Grindr app accounts held by shot-callers in the GOP House I think we can all breathe a bit easier and relax. God knows I can."
Johnson: So we added a random person into a high level top secret conversation about bombing another country. Big deal. Next week we’ll have an even bigger fuck up and you guys won’t even remember this.
If this happened under the Biden administration, you'd be "outraged", Mikey. You will defend anything, won't you? Your eyes don't see what they see and your ears don't hear what they hear.
Is Johnson drunk too?! They leaked classified information to a reporter through an unsecured messaging app! Christ knows what else they have leaked to other people over the past few months.
American news reporters are as soft as butter with their questions....and always have been. I'd love to see some of my Australian journalists make them melt into the concrete with question after question.
Wonder what this twit would have said if an incident like this had happened in Biden’s administration? The double standard and hypocrisy is just overwhelming.
Maybe the people actually executing the plan had precision, but these top level officials were anything but precise. The didn’t even know who they were chatting with, lol
Are you fkg kidding? This could have cost Americans their lives
and they are treating it like making plans for a church social dinner????? Wth? Disgusting.... I have pure disgust.
Dude, all those unqualified cabinet members on the chat knew better and weren’t concerned with security of military personnel. That is not gold star work. Johnson is such a suck up, it’s a miracle there is any air left in the room. 🤬😹
And the reporter knew what he had. And he waited until the Operation was concluded before sharing it. Because Jeff Goldberg values national security more than the SecDef.
No. What you did see was all the US National Security appointees, on a text chat, that was obviously open to non secure parties, which none of the participants even noticed.
They put every soldier involved in that mission at risk. And, Mike Johnson doesn't care!
Precision dumbassery at peak levels. I'm starting to think that putting an army reserve major in charge of the most powerful military on the planet might have been a bad idea...
Speaker Johnson doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. They might be top level officials who are totally unqualified for their positions. The were not following protocol and if they had been they would not have had their phones with them. No oversight of these morons.
Let me beware of the sleek-faced hypocrisy which is armour-bearer to heresy and infidelity. Knowing the deceivableness of unrighteousness, let me be wise as a serpent to detect and avoid the designs of the enemy https://www.biblegateway.com/devotionals/morning-and-evening/today
What we saw were some kindergarten kids trying act like grown ups and run the government
They ran it just the way you would expect kindergartens to
They screwed up bigly, yet think they did a good job
They couldn't even be smart enough to do something basic - use a classified communication method
No America did not see that at all we saw dangerous, reckless, malfeasance, unprofessional conduct, and risky behavior on the part of morons. America is embarrassed in front of the world yet again because of Trump and the Republicans.
I am relieved to know that according to House Speaker Johnson, if I ever violate my OPSEC training, I’m in the clear so long as the mission was a success
A group of criminal bank robbers can get on a chat, plan the bank hit, do it well, and execute the crime with precision. Does that mean bank robbery is no longer illegal?
How can anyone take these people seriously is beyond me. I had a friend who had served in the Navy as a physicist on submarines, a smart guy… he came to my wedding in 2016 and promptly told other guests that he was voting for Trump. I tried to argue with him and he just spouted a lot of nonsense…
The ability to lie with such ease while the truth is a billboard behind you I’d disgusting in this administration and the 49 percent who still approve blows my brain!
What this sanctimonious twit doesn't say is that no one was jeopardized by Pete Hegseth's irresponsible divulgence of classified information only because the journalist included showed more concern for their safety than Hegseth by not divulging the information to people unauthorized to learn it.
Claiming no-one was jeopardised because no-one actually died...
...is like saying I wasn't in jeopardised by jumping off a thousand foot cliff because I was snagged by a branch I didn't know about after falling twenty feet.
Witkoff was apparently in Moscow, of all places, when he was added to the chat.
But I'm sure there's no problem with that, with Putin being such a nice bloke and considerate friend.
Yep. Our pilots and crew could have easily been killed if the inadvertent “JG” chat member were (say) an Iranian asset instead of the editor of The Atlantic. Dodged a bullet.
And now, why would (ex)Allies share ANY sensitive info with this administration, at all?
If it had been Biden's people in that group chat, and a Fox host had been erroneously invited, the Fox host would have revealed ALL on his show.
Of course, this would never have happened because Biden appointed intelligent, experienced professionals.
And what won’t be reported is how nobody we want to trust us with sensitive intelligence will do so as long as these fucking idiotic clowns are in power.
Aside from being a spectacular display of gross incompetence because they included a journalist for The Atlantic, that this chat occurred on the Signal chat platform is an abundantly clear indication they were doing this to disregard multiple FOIA and record keeping laws.
And we have no idea what was possibly revealed by the use of a public app on unsecured devices, at least one of which was in Russia when this took place.
They held hearing after hearing on Benghazi. Shit, they were furious at Obama for wearing a fucking tan suit. But looping in a journalist to an unsecured group chat discussing military operations is “doing a job well”?
That idiot trying to spin classified material posted on an unsecured public platform. And then Kegsbreath (I borrowed this) tried to deflect blame and insulted the journalist.
Typical Republican.
Precision is what you expect from top level officials, in this case it was career military, not the idiots cosplaying as defense and intelligence leaders.
There is no NCO or Officer in the US Military that would not have been aware that texting on a text chain on Signal was not secure. No one with any care about our military would ever, ever, have done what this leadership did.
So this is how they discussed handling the breach, downplaying it and making like no big deal, focusing on the "success." Trump bold face lying when he said he knew nothing about this. Incredible
Speaker Johnson, if I wanted to watch a dude polishing collective knobs in public, on video, I’d go to pornhub. Jesus Christ, man. Stop gargling nads. Have some self-respect. 🤦♀️
We saw it bc they added a journalist to their chat on an app away from national records and is inappropriate communication for national security. Completely and totally unacceptable, reckless, and disqualifying.
Johnson: I know that Hegseth exposed the country to espionage and possibly revealed our human assets and military means to carry out airstrikes. But, I think his disregard for regulations and protocol were executed with precision..
It’s the Trump MO: when confronted with your failures just lie, blame others and feign ignorance. And it works for him and his administration every time. We will hear about Hillary’s emails for eternity but this will be swept under the rug like all the other crimes against the state
Benghazi, Afghanistan withdrawal, email servers. The lesson is that Democrats need to start their disinformation campaign immediately. Get in front of cameras and start the drumbeat NOW!
If a person actually falls for this then I’m sorry but you’re just stupid. Trying to spin this is as a positive is so embarrassing and they should pay a price for this.
Yeah, and what I see, is downplaying an absolutely HORRIFIC breach of protocol, security and the law, by people too inept and/or lazy to meet in person, or on a secure call.
It was the Centcom (the combatant command) plan. (not the pentagon). Hegseth resent the Centcom plan - which was probably TS/SI.
These "top officials" didn't do squat but pass classified info over an unsecured network.
all are fucking stupid and should be fired.
kakistocracy
This republicans would all be hard boys, but didn’t have the balls to point out there own shit and say: yes, this was shit and it must have consequences!
Lies upon lies upon lies until the truth doesn't exist anymore ...
Mike Johnson tonight teaching his children the art of lying & #Gaslighting. Can you imagine what twisted adults those kids of Mike Johnson's will be? Probably a lot like coke-sniffing Don Jr. ... or like rapist drunk Pete Hegseth.

Fact: They broke at least 3 laws, and it is now a big question how much more has been done in this manner to avoid the PRA and FOIA.
What they seem to forget is WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!
I’m tired of them choosing the stupidest 24/7 & then defending it
...so he's hearing the cock crow several dozen times a day, given how often he deliberately breaks the Ten Commandments in his job.
This time there was a whole field of cocks crowing.
and they are treating it like making plans for a church social dinner????? Wth? Disgusting.... I have pure disgust.
Never listen to greatly ignorant and delusional men.
Single handedly done the most damage to the American democracy experiment
They put every soldier involved in that mission at risk. And, Mike Johnson doesn't care!
Just excusing it away.
Absolute disregard for safety. His words are shameful.
Find some dignity MAGA Moses.

Security? Fox doesn’t care.
Killing or war? That’s all fair.
They do worry there was a sin:
Are using emojis masculine?
...we might as well publish all so-called classified information in the media moving forward.
There's no intelligence left in the Capitol.
obtained via FOIA
They ran it just the way you would expect kindergartens to
They screwed up bigly, yet think they did a good job

Four years later I contacted after Jan 6 to ask him again if he thought that Trump was preferable to Clinton. Yep. No change.
It just broke my heart. I still don’t understand. It’s a sickness.
No hill’s too ridiculous to die on for them.
It. Is. A. Cult.
...is like saying I wasn't in jeopardised by jumping off a thousand foot cliff because I was snagged by a branch I didn't know about after falling twenty feet.

Keep giving him enough rope.
And maybe even after that.
Delivering nuclear codes or transferring funds from the national treasury?
He’s required by his masters Executive Orders to provide at least a half dozen pucker-up’s a day. This guy has no credibility whatsoever~
Gross incompetence.
Typical Republican.
Weak, small man syndrome!
We all saw wtf Hegseth did, and to try and deflect by saying they were “DOING THEIR JOBS?”
They didn’t do it well..
Insecure app, including a civilian in text group (could have been Putin).
What other national security info is on that App?
lie, obfuscate, disseminate propaganda, and the dumb fucks will swallow it whole and make it reality.
Trump could bomb Canada and Mike Johnson would still be trying to put a good spin on it!
Can you imagine the furor from Republicans if Biden had done something this stupid?
WTF?? Johnson… kissing tRump’s ass every day!
These "top officials" didn't do squat but pass classified info over an unsecured network.
all are fucking stupid and should be fired.
