Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.

It's amazing how inept these morons are. Think of all the thousands of corporations, groups and agencies who manage to never do this. Even McDonalds has better security when they're deciding on employee of the month.
The Trump regime is full of IUD hires (Inequitable nepo babies, Uniformly stupid, Discriminatory) because their mothers definitely should have used IUDs.
Nobody will sack him unless we do. For this and so many other things - impeach and begin the long process of reform. All Americans need to demand an end to this mockery of our ideals. This administration is disastrous.
You know in the game Scrabble, when you get to that point and you just have to turn in all your letters and get brand new ones? Yeah, I feel like we’re really at this point.
The oligarchs and corporations own our press. Rupert Murdoch is running a foreign propaganda system with Faux News. Of course they are going to scream their heads off with every little error Democrats make and will be absolutely silent no matter how horribly MAGA betrays America. Nationalize it all.
‼️ [1/2] This scandal has coincided with a period in time where we are seeing the biggest rallies & protests in America. Ride the wave. 🤙🌊 Demand impeachment.
[2/2] If you can, take family and / or friends and show up at their office. It's important to make our Democrat & Republican Senators & Representatives confront you, so they can't treat you like a faceless voter.
They took away children’s survivors benefits from social security. There are parents saying it all over the place. All because musk said that Soc sec gave loans to kids. This money is because their parent paid into Soc sec and died before collecting. This needs fixed. Please.
Watching the heads of US Intelligence at the hearing today with glum faces somehow trying to say nothing happened was both hilarious and fucking scary at the same time.
And if the continuous failures of Trump’s handpicked appointments are not evidence of Trump’s inability to perform his duties and keep his oath, it’s time to demand all our democratic leaders call for his removal. Time to use the phones!
I had a TS/SCI clearance for 21 years. Intentionally discussing classified information over an unsecure medium would have put me in prison in violation of US code 798.
"Was he drunk" is giving pre-excuse. Hold these people accountable. Drunk or sober, none of this should have been in a group text on Signal. The only person w/o blame in this is the reporter who has more common sense and patriotism in his pinky finger than all the others put together. #FireHegseth
Thank you, Rep. Crockett! I do, though wish everyone would stop focusing on the incompetence and made-for-prime-time comedy of it--because more than anything, this is extremely dangerous.
as an embarrassed white person, stop listening to white men about anything whatsoever. They are always wrong. We are in this position because of white men and white women. Let's just be honest about the racist bias whites have in america and get to work on fixing this garbage
There were others on that undocumented, unarchived, unsecure text that should be confronted as well. All of them. And thank you, Jeff Goldberg, for your professionalism and your ethical strength.
He's a careless idiot & the military decisions that were made were probably idiotic as well. We've yet to hear from anyone in the military who is competent to analyze that. Sounds like a bunch of macho bravado cosplay.
EVERY LAST DEM should be on the steps of Congress in front of TV cameras denouncing this bullshit & calling for resignations until you move the needle. It's not us here on bluesky who need to know what happened... it's the rest of the US who are not paying attention.
Please clean up the language. I know it's of the moment, but tomorrow called and it's not necessary.
Let's begin to build the world we want our children to grow up in.
Just saying if she truly has national aspirations it would be in her best interest to clean up the language.
Didn't seem to solicit a profane response, but okay.
The senators that confirmed these unqualified and beyond incompetent cabinet members, all need to be held just as responsible for these supreme fuck ups!
The whole DEI was meant to be offensive. Imagine being handed everything and critizing those who had to work their tails off to just take the first step.
Between, Musk, Hesqueth, Rubio- they are definitely not looking like the sharpest tools in the box & we are still on the honeymoon period of this regime- just wait till they get sloppy & complacent!!!
MAGA is a DEI jobs program for D students, dropouts, conspirists, rapists, felons, pedophiles, traffickers, cons, grifters, thieves, people who couldn't make it in the normal world and are sick of smart people being their bosses. Revenge of the jocks.
I went to an elite college and always had to hear that I got there because of affirmative action. Meanwhile the kids of rich donors had a special “probationary” acceptance where they were given tutoring for free so they wouldn’t fail their first year. Same vibe.
I sure hope our troops are feeling confident the next time they are ordered into the battlefield by generals receiving orders from the reich that they aren’t walking into an ambush. I sure as hell wouldn’t.
Are you certain? That Atlantic journalist probably thought the very same thing when he woke up that morning. Then, he was invited to join a chat in Signal, lol.
DEI over DUI… but honestly how many secrets does the US have except the Epstein files and how that orange toilet stain got in twice… that orange rat more than likely sold off all the classified secrets while a twink named big balls is sitting with the personal data of US citizens…
This term, "Cut & Paste", is Especially Worrisome.
Unless this #Hegseth person Retyped those "Targeting Packages" into that Disappearing Messages app "Signal", it meant the Device he was chatting on, was connected to BOTH the Targeting Package 'Source Program' AND the Signal chat app.
Everyone of them broke the law using personal phones for work. We know this because secure gov. phones don't allow for adding apps.
So to recap:
liars
avoiding FOIA requests by using personal phones endangering national security.
First thing that came to mind. Above my pay grade to judge him, but he looks pretty rough already just a few weeks in. He better not pop that cork, I honestly don’t think he can handle it.
Personally, I think they were using it so they don’t have to log their chats as per the 2025 training they all received. I find it enlightening Pete mentions not pissing off the Saudis since Russia is working with them.
If Pete was drunk, at least he has an excuse! How do we explain our DNI, Sec of State & NSA? Not to mention Chief(s) of staffs? Not one of these “professionals” thought maybe Signal wasn’t the correct system to discuss highly classified National Security plans?!?
3. Targeting other allies all those soldiers have children. I am a soldiers daughter. And there are many more. But please do let me know if I am wrong. Is that information wrong. I would be appreciative of feedback. Thank You.
2. Leader of the free world, but after this ship meeting, it was decided that America would assume Leader of the free world. Europe after WW11 was recovering from the devastation of Hitler. Obviously we all should have taken a higher role but previous admins may not have been interested. Before
🇦🇺 1.I am shocked at how often this current admin blame Europe every time they get caught out. Please fact check me as I remember years ago seeing a report how Churchill, FDR & French leader met on a ship to hash out how to move forward WW11. From what was said England 🏴 was currently back then
Honestly? Congress should demand that he pass a breathalyzer to open the door to his office and before he does anything official. That Signal group should be drummed into the public every single day till mid-terms and beyond. Remind everyone that they don't even vet who they share intel with.
Pete might've had a couple of cold ones and decided to do some drunk texting. By the looks of it, we need some folks who definitely earned it up in there to help them out. They were already bad at governing. Now we know they're also bad at keeping secrets.
He needs to be out before things ramp up. As most knew, he is not qualified, and does not have what it takes to manage one of the most important offices in the country-especially with the regime racking up so many enemies.
*The group seizing our government is scary, but their empty threats are not.
There’s no way to come back from this. They all need removed immediately! Can’t believe the confirmation hearings saw these idiots through. Time for Congress to get to work on articles of impeachment and replace the entire cabinet. The country isn’t safe! ANYONE of integrity could have done better!
OMG Yes! And, how are these guys supposed to be examples of fully functioning humans? Not of any color, beige, black or anything else existing in the WORLD. Morons.
Please don’t forget who else was on the chat - JD Vance, Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard et al. None suggested to switch to a secure way of communicating. The Vice President was in this chat!!!
But assistants don’t need to be on detailed, step by step chats about bombing countries.
There were way too many people on that chat. The secretary of treasury?? Policy?? Susie Wiles? It is beyond dangerous.
I don't think the problem is the channel is not secure. After all, it is encrypted. The problem is it is not an approved channel, and so one consequence is that there is no 'paper' trail. They could be chatting about how to instigate martial law or how to deport all good looking sober people.
The only thing you CAN assume from this, is how this is their normal way of handling top secret, and inviting randoms to impress fray boy impress them is the new normal.
Whomever is running Signal has access to *so much stuff*.
They use it so there's no record of the conversations. The fact that they set it to disappear tells you that. These conversations are all supposed to be archived.
People need to stop saying incompetent. They chose to use Signal as opposed to proper procedures. He's going to squirm out of this because he can claim he didn't know any better. They all knew better and Dems need to focus on why they used Signal.
These positions require expert-level knowledge of security measures. If any of the parties try claiming they didn’t know using Signal was a gross violation of security protocols, they need to be fired and possibly charged accordingly.
There are only 3 scenarios that can explain this:
1. Pete Hegseth was drunk.
2. Pete Hegseth is truly an idiot.
3. Pete Hegseth is an idiot and was drunk.
The audacity of a drunk, mediocre (at best), sketch-ass, white man who intentionally transfered classified war plans to an app (that hides his dealings from the FOIA) who then gets salty about the push back and lies about it moments before the WH confirms it happened...welcome to 2025, bitches.
Drunk was my first thought. And last. How can you not think so with all the Senate testimony about his alcoholism and his promise to stop "for" this job? How did MAGANazi cult senators not think the public would be sure he's drunk in every knucklehead stunt?
As a Canadian citizen let me say that this is terrifying. Our neighbours have more weapons of mass destruction than the rest of the world combined. Those weapons are controlled and secured by the utterly incompetent. How can the world feel confident that Armageddon is not one security breach away!
‼️ [1/2] READERS
This scandal has coincided with a period in time where we are seeing the biggest rallies & protests in America. Demand impeachment daily!

Pretty sure there are gambling sites with bets on which cities the Trusk Administration will blow up first. I'll bet there are side bets on how many US cities they'll take out, and if it was deliberate or through their usual incompetence.
Here in the US, it feels like our butts are strapped on the rocket on the edge of a cliff aimed at the innocent, hapless Roadrunner. Hegseth has the match. None of it makes sense and none of it is justified.
You know, back in my day, we didn't have these fancy signal chatrooms for hosting top secret war plans. We had to sit through "death by PowerPoint" in this thing called a SCIF.
My son is an active U.S. Air Force Airman, and this really makes me nervous about his safety. Some drunk at the switch broadcasting O plains on signal?
It's more insidious why they're using signal as opposed to normal channels. This way nothing can be traced back to them when they give orders to liquidate the country.
Yes! All I can think about are the active duty soldiers who swore an oath to this nation and are giving years of their lives to service while their leader endangers their lives and security
We're fast approaching a point of no return where the military is going to have to act or force us to act. They are the last line of official defense for the Constitution.

Where else are they sharing classified information in such a sloppy manner - and copying journalists! Who else is on these threads, or other threads?
Heads must roll - and DO NOT let this issue fade!

All are fine choices. So uh, anyone see Tulsi? How's she taking the news?
This is their fault.
Along with the Orange Jackass that nominated him for the position.

Without question, 'cause the DKS (don't know shit) hires aren't getting it done....😶
Everything
Intoxicated

his brain doesn’t ’function’ without it : & he’s reckless & hairbrained with it.
Emoji thumping the bombing of very real human beings while indiscriminately bombing the Signal chat… with whomever might want to listen.
Let's begin to build the world we want our children to grow up in.
STOP telling women how they should behave.
So dude should clean up his own backyard before worrying about the neighbors 🐾🐾
Didn't seem to solicit a profane response, but okay.

Point being this is biz as usual for these sycos. The only problem they have with it is someone let not just media but a specific editor in.
They are criminally negligent.
Please translate to Chuck Schumer Is No Longer Leader so we can hear and understand you.
Anything?
What is the penalty for using an unapproved app for government business?
"Lock them up!"
There will always be resentment by the lazy and coddled towards intelligent people that work hard.
These idiots don’t need to be impaired to do something so monumentally fucked up. It’s just in their nature.
They’re emoji celebrating murdering people. Wonder how many fist bumps & American flags were on the El Salvador chat?

Not Good.
Smh..he’s a whole problem
So to recap:
liars
avoiding FOIA requests by using personal phones endangering national security.
Been drunk for years?
No, Not Hegseth. He said he's conquered his problem.
So, has he been lying all this time?
/s
What could possibly go wrong!

I think he’s been drunk since the day he started his new job at the White House.
Who’s gonna stop him?
There were way too many people on that chat. The secretary of treasury?? Policy?? Susie Wiles? It is beyond dangerous.

Look what happened to Russia during Yeltsin yrs….Putin!
I’m Not attacking Yeltsin’s character (don’t know it) but if you’re unfit(he drank)to Govern you’re weak/dangerous for what comes next!
1. Pete Hegseth was drunk.
2. Pete Hegseth is truly an idiot.
3. Pete Hegseth is an idiot and was drunk.
They just don't care.

Buh bye MAGAts maybe not today but soon buh bye
Their choice but Dems can’t sit idly by.
We are becoming less safe every damn day and I want our leaders ACTING LIKE IT!
