      >Last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top officials were exposed for using encrypted messaging app Signal to discuss sensitive information regarding an attack on Yemen—a significant breach of security. Now, it’s been reported that Hegseth shared similar information in a second Signal chat, this time with his wife and brother present in said chat. 

      >His response to this second national security bombshell has been to insist that it’s simply a politically motivated smear campaign rather than yet another massive faux pas. 

      >“Your agenda is illegals, trans & DEI — all of which are no longer allowed @ DoD,” Hegseth wrote late Sunday night in response to the Democratic Party’s X account saying he “needs to go.”

      This guy, impressively, might be the dumbest person in the cabinet.

    3. The inability to self-reflect and correct course of action is a staple of this administration and is a fundamental feature of an autocratic regime.

      My lack of surprise that an alcoholic flips out at his own behavior. Sober me would never do this! It’s everyone else’s fault!

    5. I just think he is too shrill and emotional to be in a position of power. And his laugh is weird.

      Wait, no. What I meant to say was that he is a drunken, violent, unqualified bigot who was always going to be a failure and was chosen by a man so incapable of good decisions that only the seriously incapable would imagine he had the skills to lead a country.

      No patriot, no person with any respect at all for the US, would tolerate him remaining as SecDef.

    6. forget competence, this guy may be too emotional to be the secretary of defense

      A case of Jack for your resignation, Pete. Your tantrums are lower than an unconscious homeless drunk with his head in a toilet bowl, so I want to give you a chance to raise your dignity.

    8. Using Signal should not be the headline.

      The 1st chat they used Signal and turned on the automatic deletion service and low and behold the COA could not retrieve the directors chats. That is illegal even if nothing else is.

      If it wasn’t a problem for them the first time then I’m sure the administration won’t fire him this time

    10. Just an FYI, they shouldn’t be using Signal for these communications ***in the first place.***

      This administration is a dumpster fire in a train wreck that is going over a cliff…

      FFS I am so God damned embarrassed of The United States of America right now. Just amazing how far we have fallen due to these absolute childish clowns.

      Um he didn’t eat his entree with a salad fork ffs

      I can’t imagine how much the right-wing blogosphere and media would be having their collective heads exploding if Kamala had won and her Secretary of Defense did any of this.

      “Your agenda is illegals, trans & DEI — all of which are no longer allowed @ DoD,” Hegseth [wrote](https://x.com/PeteHegseth/status/1914148561664561433) late Sunday night in response to the Democratic Party’s X account saying he “needs to go.”

      “The Trump-hating media continues to be obsessed with destroying anyone committed to President Trump’s agenda. This time, the New York Times — and all other Fake News that repeat their garbage —…“

      Nice try fellas, but you’re no Trump. Calling the media the „Lying Press“ doesn’t quite have the same punch if it’s not coming from his tiny invisible accordion playing hands. You guys just don’t have the magic, the cult likes Dotard and Dotard only.

      Hegseth and Vance were seen talking about the Pope the other day, and then the Pope dies. They must have conspired as a distraction.

    15. Everywhereslugs on

      In the military, especially in leadership roles, you are taught about responsibility and accountability. This guy is blaming everyone but himself for his errors. Hegseth must have been an absolutely worthless officer when he was in the service – nobody would want to serve with a guy with such low personal honour.

      „Your agenda is illegals, trans & DEI“

      This administration will find a way to insert trans, illegals and DEI in every single fucking conversation. Lol

    17. AlfredRWallace on

      Ok then. Conservative sub says it’s bs and they don’t trust the NYTimes.

      So let’s have a full investigation, and figure out if it is true. If it is true, Hegseth needs to be removed and perhaps charged. Come on Republicans, do it.

      „I’m so pissed off you guys keep catching me doing stupid stuff!“

      ^(Really more like „I’m so pissed,“ amirite?)

    19. I would love someone in the press corps to sacrifice themself and ask

      “This is a two part question…

      Just how stupid is Pete Hegseth?

      And just how stupid is the President for making this guy Secretary of Defense?”

    20. iloveyouand on

      He’s alleging these are malicious lies being published which would be legally actionable as libel.

      Truth is, he has no case because the reporting is independently verifiable. All he can do is get in front of a camera and repeat the „fake news“ song and dance for MAGA.

    21. I_think_were_out_of_ on

      As a vet and gov employee, the fact that an official Defense Department spokesperson actually said, “The Trump-hating media” bothers me more than the signal thing. Public service isn’t presidential service.

      It’s almost like if you elect a narcissistic con man to be your leader, it will result in a gross perversion of the meaning of civic duty. If only we had known, he was a con man and a criminal before he ran. Oh wait…….

    22. Know how to get people to stop pointing out your mistakes? Stop making them. This one seems pretty fucking easy. Follow protocols laid out in front of you. As a former armed services member he should know how to follow orders. 

    23. The presence of JD Vance killed the Pope, yet this guy is probably more dangerous.

    24. ricks_flare on

      A fucking imbecile in a cabinet of imbeciles led by the biggest fucking imbecile to ever be elected president by *70 million fucking imbeciles*

    25. If this were a Democratic that did this the GOP would be screaming from the rooftops to oust him.

    26. Courtjester1976 on

      It’s ok… Donald is on the case. There’s nothing to see here, It’s Biden’s fault. You guys still believe that one, right? Don’t worry, Pentagon leaks won’t change anything. We’ll go forward. What a few more needles deaths from the military. They’ll make me a fortune. God, i love uneducated people, life’s blood of this great nation. Simply the best, other county feel education is a great thing, well not here. Work hard, drink budweiser, and watch football. This will M.A.G.A. for us Billionaires.

      This is why you don’t hire an alcoholic TV personality to be the Secretary of Defense. Hegseth is a national embarrassment.

    28. Trumps base is literally on yahoo finance now calling Powell a loser too, who, and I quote

      “Powell is disconnected from reality. Him and his buddies all live rich lives in comfortable homes and don’t worry about jobs or money. So easy for them to sit there and let people lose their jobs due to high rates”

      Their constant hypocrisy and pure stupid blindness is almost commendable. If it weren’t so fucking blatantly disgusting and shallow minded. How do they even function???

    29. “Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered by his singular stupidity,” Senator Tammy Duckworth commented.

      Now that’s a quote

    30. CombinationSad8742 on

      Just think, if you are maga you have to wake up and defend this guy today. Can’t even say, ‘wow, this idiot is dangerous—Trump fucked that one up. He should fire him.’ Instead you have to trash the NYTimes, or bring up Hillary Clinton. Must be getting tiresome for many.
