So, when will he have his ELEVEN HOURS in front of a Congressional committee inquisition? Lord knows it shouldn’t take that long to demonstrate that, in fact, national security WAS compromised! #LockHimUp
3 or 4 of his own personal picks for his top aids
are fired for leaking and now this, it's time he walked away before he's fired. The quicker the better for the US National Security. Maybe he'll get his old job back at Fox News working the weekend shift.
The former SecDef had a medical emergency and the GOP demanded he resign for not notifying the President, but is silent when the unqualified current SecDef repeatedly broke security protocols that endangered the people he's supposed to be leading? Black folks get one chance with no forgiveness.
I have said it before. The InfoSec a teenage girl has to hide a boyfriend from their parents is better than the InfoSec of this administration between DoD and DOGE.
He's an unqualified, card carrying member of the kakistocracy, drunken pos.
This quote from the guardian article is perfect.
“Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered by his singular stupidity,” Duckworth said.
The defense secretary is still in the learning stage and should thus be given a little slack. Like anyone else starting a new profession mistakes will be made. Fortunately he has a great leader who from experience is able to provide the insight he needs. By 2028 he should be up and running.
Let us be honest - is this likely to have ANY negative consequences for Hegseth? Even if every single officer above the rank of - say - Lieutenant Colonel- said they would not serve under hegseth, they'd just fie them all.
I remember when Obama’s BlackBerry had to be overhauled by White House IT so he could use it. I remember Hillary’s emails swinging an election. So suddenly information security is no big deal?
(They can’t comprehend irony and don’t care about hypocrisy. It would be nice if they did, though!)
You would think he learned his lesson from the 1st signal gate mess. But the reality is he doesn’t give 2 💩’s about what he does wrong. His m.o. is he’s gonna do whatever he wants, like his mentor, felon47. Obviously, he doesn’t care about national security.
If the Donable Dipshit could promote him even higher, he’d do it! Using personal phone is easy for foreign ears to hear.Put*n’s 🐩 Poodle pleases Vladdy! The destruction/fear is the point-That and pleasing Vladdy Daddy-And per Russian TV today, they are all BEYOND PLEASED he’s destroying our country.
Normally Hegseth would be reported to the DOJ to be reprimanded or fired. The problem with that is Pamela Bondi, whom Trump selected and the Repubes voted for, is the fucking DOJ.
Therefore we know what will happen: NOTHING.
They are pieces on the chessboard, people, and Trump is playing.
Serious question: putting aside their heinous political positions and corruption, and let's leave punch-drunk Pete out of this, are ANY of the trump cabinet evenly remotely competent? Like, do they understand the operations of their dept, could they hold a staff meeting, use a phone, or spell USA?
Fire him already🙄
The US has never been more unsafe and unprepared. There is not one person in a leadership position that stands with "We The People" but they do their damnedest to cover those that only seek wealth and power for themselves , did I mention more power and lies without mercy?!?
💙🫶💙
Omphff.. This guy just gets worse and worse. We Democrats couldn't clean of the aftermath of this mess if we tried. Not this time, folks. Not possible. It would take decades.
The GOP regime & US military need to be reminded that even PLANNING a “war of aggression” is a “crime against peace.” It was prosecuted RETROACTIVELY @ Nuremberg & when Trump’s fascism is defeated, the US (under the Dems) WILL CONSENT to ICC & you’ll all be prosecuted! HANDS OFF CANADA & GREENLAND!
As the saying goes: garbage in, garbage out.
Approving a staggeringly incompetent Defence Secretary means you'll get staggering incompetence on the job.
I think you are right, I read she was sitting in meetings as well. I imagine his drinking problem is way worse than we were lead to believe but Trump doesn't care as long as he gets rid of "DEI" and damages the military.
Do you think that Trump is purposely weakening the military in anticipation of a Russian merger? That's how far down the rabbit hole my thoughts slip these days.
I don't know, I think it's either that or that a lot of money runs through the DoD and Pentagon and they are trying to find ways of skimming off the top, much like Putin and his lackeys did to the Russian Military.
He is aryan brotherhood garbage and he’s already broken the U.S. laws of espionage and the Federal Records Act. That’s 10 years in prison for the first one and 3 years for the second along with fines, immediate dismissal and forfeiture from ever holds any government office in the future.
Kara, remember you from MS and RNWK and respect you immensely but these egregiously horrible things are missing the big picture. These are symptoms, not the disease..focus on the disease!! Keep up the good work!!
Secrets are only valuable and worth protecting if whoever obtains them would know they are true. But hey, Trump threw us into the age of fake news! No secret is worth anything anymore. No more need to classify.

This drunk fuck keeps spilling more classified intel than he does his liquor. Those 4 staffers fired were not the leakers at all, it was, is, and will continue to be the drunk!
Even just for self preservation, (because this buffoon Hegseth can get us All killed) doesn't F47's cowardice (he's scared of everything!) force him to give this garbage human the boot?
As far as I’m concerned, it’s all a distraction from the fact that they’re picking people up from Home Depot parking lots and whisking them away to Hell Salvador in a human trafficking scheme.
turns out we could've stopped talking about the first Signal fuck up because the idiot learned nothing and did it again (and it's pretty obvious these are only ones we know about and it happens often)
guess we wait now for the third time he does it publicly and hope Putin sacks him for incompetence
Remember last week when we were giving pentagon employees lie detector tests? Do we all know where the leaks are coming from now? Do you suppose using your personal phone and having additional non-pentagon groups on your chat is dangerous when it comes to classified materials?
Hegseth = Whisky-leaks
“I’m gonna send the airforce to drop bombs on innocent brown civilians in a sovereign foreign nation that we have not declared war on to spread freedom and democracy”
What? You used the wrong APP? That’s unacceptable.
Wow, if only there had been some indication in this guy’s past job performances and life choices that had hinted at the possibility of this kind of debacle 🤷🏻♀️
I don't even use my personal phone to play raid shadow legends. Seriously how do people not carry 2-3 phones?? lmao especially like the head of.... I bet he doesn't even have his own AI Swarm. filthy causal
He's that child who keeps showing his butt acting out because his parents won't take responsibility for his antisocial behavior, no matter who gets hurt or what gets broken. The out of control child acts a fool, hoping someone will stop him but anyone who can, won't. Anyone who wants to, can't.
With Trump’s clown car of a regime in place, the best and brightest of Russian 🇷🇺 intelligence must spend their time doing crosswords and playing chess these days.
It doesn't matter. Can't you even see the American Flag handkerchief in his pocket? Performative patriotism and blind loyalty to Donald is all that matters.
One of the lessons to be learned here is that if you hire people who are going to leak everything that pisses them off, make sure they are qualified enough that you don't have to fire them.
I don't know why people keep saying this. 90 million people didn't vote and 75 million people voted for Harris. 77 million voted for trump. So there are 165 million people who did not vote for this, and that just registered voters. Dont give them power that they never had
Imagine using your personal phone to organize the mass murder of innocent civilians. I'm trying to work out what to be more outraged about, the personal phone use or the scores of men, women and children murdered. Can someone help me with this conundrum?
The most extraordinary thing is that people are more concerned about the security breach than the details of the US blowing yet more people to smithereens.
Almost as if it's all fine as long as the correct phone is used.

The House must impeach and Senate must convict/remove.

We should also be asking: "Why the hell is this walking threat to national security and military preparedness still at liberty?"
Why is Pete Hennessy the Sec Def ?
Pete Hennessy is the Sec Def because of January 6th
Trump declared war.
On January 6th Trump declared kinetic war with the USA.
hyper-power far beyond all of the Earth's militaries combined.
That is a tough problem set.
Trump has systematically acted to develop a set of alliances and power centers focused on that war.
neo-nazi that won't defend the USA against trump, and will be 100% dependent on the pleasure of Trump
Well. That's Pete Hegseth.
He's a virtuoso of amateurism. An expert. A Grand Master.

Trickle down Ineptitude
..Easy! First ask:
¹. How did so many unqualified people get appointed to run major positions in governance?
². How were they allowed to do so much damage & disruption?
³. How is it that no oversight committee has removed them a single one yet, to prevent more damage?

I’m looking forward to the next round, probably too much.
Elections have consequences.
Vote MAGA, get MAGA
“You get what you pay for”.
You’re paying for a Secretary of Defence.
But all you’re getting is a “FOX Talk Show Host”
You made a bad choice there Fat Albert!
