They are unable to understand security in the same way they don't understand "asylum" for foreigners. They are all late 5th grade greedy and shameless deranged idiots, Musk included.

Sounds like someone’s on the take.

Kudos to these ethics officials. It is very hard to stand up to the bosses, even when they are completely wrong. It’s even harder to stand up to the rich people who support the bosses. I have personal experience in this at a lower level of federal governance. The principle is the same.

He was attempting to use Musk’s memory, because his might be whiskey’d up.

It seems as though Hegseth is trying to impress his wife, his lawyer, and Elon with his new begotten access to information. Why else would he be so reckless with it?

tonywrocks.bsky.social•58 days ago

It's like they are filming those stupid videos that they make all cleared people watch each year about maintaining good OPSEC.

You watch the thing and think to yourself "nobody would do that, this is stupid".

“You watch the thing and think to yourself "nobody would do that, this is stupid"”

Yes. There’s a lot of that going around nowadays…

Showing the judgment of a teenager drunk dialing for a booty call. This guy's brain is pickled.

Thanks, important

Crazy frightening incompetence and corruption

goldcamp3579.bsky.social•58 days ago

Terrifying. Give any country our battle plans etc. Hegseth being paid to screw the United States? Serious question…

danie2525.bsky.social•58 days ago

Omfg just blow us up because we are never going to survive more then 3 years of all this BS Trump is up to. I just think we are doomed. Because who the hell is going to save us?

Great Jesus in the sky! Read Elon into SAPs! Might as well send the information to China Daily.

justtrying.bsky.social•58 days ago

Something very hinkey going on there.
The Pentagon China briefing was part of a pattern.
Hegseth facilitating is one thing, but Elon's got an angle. And it ain't "waste, fraud and abuse."

sunils.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh yeah - there is definitely an angle here.

roberts-rants.bsky.social•58 days ago

What possible reason did Hegseth have for wanting two dozen highly classified programs on China to be disclosed to a businessman (who has big investments in China)? Either Hegseth is dumb as rocks or he was under pressure.

acqexp.bsky.social•58 days ago

To find out whether noted supergenius Wile E. Muskyote knows a faster, cheaper or better way of accomplishing the goals of those programs, which are not currently being run by contractors known to be loyal to the Grifter in Chief.

pamnashes.bsky.social•58 days ago

Those 2 things are not mutually exclusive.
Then also there’s the possibility of Musk paying to play…
