Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT): "Teenagers making plans for a Saturday night mix up group text chains – the National Security Advisor and Secretary of Defense discussing mission details where American lives might be at risk cannot"

Comments

The point is, they shouldn't be group texting at all. Why didn't this discussion take place in a SCIF?
I'll tell you in simple terms.

They're goddamn idiots.
so they tryin to blame it on teenagers so much for protecting kids they throw them under the bus too to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions this is despicable these people are NOT leaders they just hot garbage!
Ok please get an investigation initiated!
Suggestion put a breathalyzer on the phone used to call NORAD
And let me guess the consequences....Drum Roll Please.......................... Exactly
Hegseth is incompetent
Really milquetoast remark.

Are DEMS going to fumble this too??

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Yeah really got'em with that teenager remark. Threaten consequences. I realize Dems don't control the House and can't impeach but go on every news channel yelling about his incompetence and how he should be removed / impeached. Get in the news cycle
The overwhelming majority of Dem MOC are pussies. They've abdicated their responsibility as our elected officials.

I'm disgusted.
Why is Blumenthal not calling for impeachment inquiries?
Exactly!!!
And they were worried about leaking about Elon’s pentagon visit.
Hey, Dems, call for congressional investigation and resignation of all participants in that Signal group!

Insanity!
🤦
Not to ask the obvious question but should national security mission details be texted? What about FOIA?
I might need the enitre US military to strike (pun intended) until Hegseth is removed.
NO such details should exist outside SCIF
NO cellphone has the security of a WalMart cash register EVERY message on Signal is available to anyone with basic knowledge and simple equipment

Everyone on that call has committed jailable offense.
No, no, no! You cannot sweep this away by blaming teenage programmers. This is an egregious breach of National Security!! Hegseth, Gabbard, et al need to be FIRED on the spot! Secure servers are used for a reason.
Okay but Blumenthal is an Israeli spy so he needs to go too.
Oh fuck off
The Senate should be in emergency session over this.
Republicans control the Senate, and they don't give a shit.
Im shocked that this even happened. Also shocked that people here can react so gleefully, make fun of Hegseth's alcoholism, and try to equate this to HRC's server. This is deadly serious stuff. Our country is falling apart. We will not survive this if all we do is make jokes.
Amatuers
Imposters
Fuck ups

They are all complicit

trumps crying about his painting in Colorado and Musk is high playing with silverware.

Wheres Hakeems outrage? Schumer?

#butheremails
On a messaging system chosen specifically because it does not retain messages and group chats so it cannot be subjected to FOI requests.
Blumenthal will be on these incompetent fools like white on rice. One thing about this senator is, he will fight for our military’s safety and also for veterans. He’s no joke.
Ditto!
True. And usually the one who made the mistake never hears the end of it. Let's bring that energy to the congressional floor, shall we?
Those teens get slammed, too.
Children playing at war without parental supervision.
With emojis
But not ONE of them thought it was a bad idea? Fire all of them, or charge them.
Makes you wonder how much more gets leaked due to incompetence, we don't know about yet?
So, Hegseth must...
Going out on a limb here: Maybe they’re not the right men for their jobs?
~gasp~

Ya think?

😂😂😂

My 11-year-old GRANDDAUGHTER could do a better job.
This shows the extent of just how grossly incompetent they actually are — not suited for any job!
And yet…
Can we all just agree to acknowledge the obvious fact that they don't care about "American lives" that are not paying them?
While trying to screw our Allies
I disagree, evidently they can and without consequence.
Out there today! These Are OUR DAUGHTERS And SONS, That’s YOURS AS WELL! LOOSE LIPS SINKS SHIPS!

Rubio and Hesgeth drunk text war plans and dick pics all day
I seriously doubt teenagers these days mix-up group text chats. They are pros
Each new day with Trump World is worse than the last.
So?
Hell, my teenager doesn’t even make that mistake.
Teens know better. Do not invite Becky!
I resemble that remark 🥊
I accidentally sent someone my Wordle the other day. Kinda the same, right???
What is going to be done about this. This is probably how they run the government through text messaging. This is outrageous. There’s nothing to preserve. There’s no sitting around an oval table discussing these things in private skiff.
Dam straight put the fire to Pete Hegseth feet!!!They stole billions of dollars from Social Security and all other departments!
Audit Trump Campaign finance, Audit Musk because he does not have written Contract with the Government! No background on his income, No Proof of Insurance with Government
Why wouldn’t there be passwords to access a call of this nature?
Look at it this way Hegseth.
You can go back to day drinking again. ( wink, wink)
I guess you can't make this stuff up! Show us some real consequences for these errors and do it soon!
But they are teenagers, at least in their thinking and behavior.
News flash: This administration does not care!
They used a group of secret emojis
Can someone check Pilsner Pete’s BAC please?
This is INSANELY STUPID OF THEM!
There must be heavy CONSEQUENCES!
The question is --

Who's gonna do it? Congress won't. SCROTUS won't. The cult loves what he's doing.
Hopefully this behemoth of an error will trigger opposition action.

I hope so.....with all my heart.

However, the pragmatist in me says it's not bad enough yet.
The coercion in that one is strong.

Even the VP took time out from his busy morning of eyebrow plucking and eyeliner application to participate.
Sad but here we are
Immediate termination and charges filed.
