lol

Trump's new defense secretary accidentally included a reporter in a text chain about war plans for Yemen.

Rumor says "while drunk".

If he was drunk, remove him from office immediately.

If he wasn't, it's more understandable that accidents happen, but give him a "government contacts only", phone.

I'm more understanding of such an error because me and my company president share the same first name. I get emails meant for him all the time.

I want peeps who are allowed to kill people legally to have consequences when their shit isn't tight.

Again, this is one area where I'm in complete agreement with AOC. Most of the government is filled with technological morons.

Yes.

The Sec Def bragging about bombing people in a group chat is wild af. That it was suspiciously late at night, that he went into specifics about strike packages, blew a CIA agents real name, and cc'd a reporter... that's something else entirely.

This is gross levels of ineptitude. The real DEI hires are the slimy Fox News hosts you meet along the way...

At the conclusion of the mission, did they guy get in the group chat and post "lol pwned?"

"gg noobs"
and if they were feeling really mean
"ez"

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was not upset with national security advisor Michael Waltz after he reportedly added a journalist to a text thread in which top officials discussed pending military strikes.

“Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man,” Trump told NBC News in a phone call when asked about the bombshell revelation published in The Atlantic a day earlier.

I still hate Republican hypocrisy.

You should hate both party's hypocrisy.

But what is the related incident? I don't remember another national security advisor making this mistake?

I keep thinking of Hillary's I people getting let off for the hotel closet email server. So it's either hypocrisy that the people calling for her to get burned then aren't calling for this guy to get burned now, or it's complete equality of "these people are simply above the law, no matter the administration."

Fortunately for my integrity, I'm calling for them both to see consequences.

But then I have been charted almost perfectly Centrist.

I'm going with Hillary's email.

Hillary isn't even close - the closest I can think is a non-politician, Geraldo Rivera, broadcasting the US battleplan in Iraq, from location, on CNN or some shit.

Probably have been some worse ones that have been kept under wraps.

Maybe also that dude who just walked off his OP one day in Afghanistan and joined the Taliban. Or the dude who burned down the USS Bonhomme Richard.

Yes. Burn all of them.

But also including the secret email server. No way in hell everyone thought that was legit, unless they were mind-bogglingly stupid.

Strong agree. That's why I asked about the hypocrisy comment. Don't get me wrong, both parties are absolutely hypocritical and we see it each time the Oval Office is won by the other, but I do not think the Hillary email server is a fair comparison.

Hillary intentionally broke the law. This guy is simply a fucking moron. It's like comparing someone who left their oven on and an arsonist.

Both should be punished, but only one should have lost their freedom.

The Geraldo one is a good example. I'd also accept CNN spotlighting our military's amphibious night landing in Ethiopia or the dipshit who lost the VA laptop with all the names, SSNs, etc. on it.

USA Today stealing our content.

Making an early prediction:

If the bullshit persists, attacking normal folks in the name of civilization and freedom, this is ensuring a Vance win in 2028.

It's pretty far out and a lot can happen, but I suspect the vandalism/aggression is hurting that side with the majority.

dear god.

Wait...instead of "Say No to drugs", we could have just tariffed cocaine?

Kinda fucked up because the only people this really affects are the low-income drug purchasers.
