      How I *RAN* to this thread after the NYT app alert hit

      This has to be terminal for Heggie

    2. Imagine being so bad at your job that you make arguably one the biggest fuck ups ever…and then learn nothing and do the same thing again

      Edit:
      Yes, I see that this was the same attack after jumping back into the NYT app. This signal group goes back to January before he was even Defense Secretary (arguably even worse)

      There is no legitimate timeline where this guy is qualified for his job.

    4. He learned nothing. He’s STILL using Signal despite it being illegal to do because they all want to avoid the FOIA. He’s including people who don’t have any security clearance and it’s on his private phone. This is what happens when Republicans get to continually escape accountability.

    5. How are the people who hold the power and influence over a country and its hundreds of millions (as well as the rest of the world) held to such a low standard? Do they have any redeeming qualities in office? This is the second time Hegseth has done this very thing. wtf

      So he shared them with his wife… Is this the one he cheated on? Or the other one he cheated on? Or is this the one he cheated with one of his wife’s on, then married, and then cheated on her too?

      It’s hard to keep track of a guy who’s so bad at keeping oaths.

    7. The level of incompetence here is truly astounding. Needless to say he should be fired, or removed by Congress if our fascist president won’t do that. Will either of those happen, or will the security of the country be further sacrificed for the president’s ego?

      Also, it is almost certain that signal is being used all over this administration to evade public record laws.

    8. And, of course, they will say there’s no evidence – they used something that would scrub all evidence! That, right there, should be grounds for someone to be fired.

      What do you expect when you put a fox News host in charge of the Pentagon

    10. At what point should I start feeling offended that I’m not in any of these group texts?

      Don’t worry. This time it’s different. Becsuse it’s normalized now.

      The Pentagon now has the security protocols of a small-town grocery business.

      My husband is deployed and I’ve never been scared for him before now. I’ve been worried, I’ve been mad, anxious. But scared for him? Never before this fuck came along. When will he leak my husbands location and compromise his safety? Feels like I’m just waiting for the day it happens now.

    14. So he willfully shared classified info with several people that have no security clearance?

      Aside from the national security concerns, they are doing this specifically to skirt record retention laws.

    16. > Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was mistakenly included, the newly revealed one was created by Mr. Hegseth. It included his wife and about a dozen other people from his personal and professional inner circle in January, before his confirmation as defense secretary, and was named “Defense | Team Huddle,” the people familiar with the chat said. He used his private phone, rather than his government one, to access the Signal chat.

      this is… worse right?

      Pete Hegseth needs to fucking resign. The trump administration is an unholy stain on this country. FUCK MAGA

    18. ragdollxkitn on

      That’s because consequences don’t apply to them. Until they do, nothing changes.

    19. Scared_Berry_6792 on

      So this is a new scandal.

      “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

      Some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen — essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic.

      Mr. Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, is not a Defense Department employee, but she has traveled with him overseas and drawn criticism for accompanying her husband to sensitive meetings with foreign leaders.

      Mr. Hegseth’s brother Phil and Tim Parlatore, who continues to serve as his personal lawyer, both have jobs in the Pentagon, but it is not clear why either would need to know about upcoming military strikes aimed at the Houthis in Yemen.”

      I recommend reading the whole article. I
      think it’s free for anyone.

      It’s headline news in Norway, too.

    20. Straight-Ad6926 on

      Looks like Hegseth is really good at sharing things he shouldn’t be sharing. Signal chat: where secrets go to die. Maybe he should use WhatsApp instead at least those messages are end to end encrypted… until they’re not.

      Imagine spending 30+ years to become a 3-4 star general. It’s everything you are. Then some bozo says this idiot is your boss now. Geez.

    22. internetdork on

      Who could’ve possibly guessed that placing a thoroughly unqualified alcoholic wife beating white supremacist weekend Fox News host as Secretary of Defense would be a bad idea?!?!
