A group chat about military strikes in Yemen inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Goldberg wrote on Monday.

Hegseth prime example of why Americans should get rid of incompetent DUI hires.

      More like Indict His Ass

      What he did was illegal, and even if I don’t particularly care about leaking the Yemen strike plan I have zero sympathy for Pete Hegseth the unapologetic literal genocide promoter.

          Gabbard is supposed to be IN CHARGE of all national intelligemce, and she found herself discussing classified intel on an unsecure platform, with a REPORTER!

              Waltz is National Security Advisor, and he personally added a reporter to the classified chat. He either did it on purpose, or he is just virtuosically incompetent. He has literally NO excuse.

                I mean if he did it on purpose they should keep him around… Maybe he’ll expose more shit.

                  Yeah, but he didnt, he’s just another incompetent MAGA bonehead.

                  Dems should amp up their messaging, and start repeating the same characterizations over and and over and over - MAGA is inherently incompetent, MAGAs are all literally traitor, MAGA is a Russian-controlled psy-op, etc.

    Democrats will never learn

    Now the the Republicans will definitely not get rid of him

    Instead, had the democrats come out celebrating, Hegseth would already be out on his ass

    All the Republicans know to do is just the opposite of what democrats want

      Shoulda been like “we applaud this act of transparency and mainstream media olive branch from Hegseth”

      The Dems need him right where he is. This isn’t his first scandal. Remember on his first morning after celebrating his senate approval, when he had to go on air with a raging hangover to talk about how one of his helicopters just killed a plane load of innocent civilians?

      And it won’t be his last. We can expect a monthly scandal from him alone, which Dems can use to slam him and the entire administration during mid-terms.

      Same with Gabbard, who, as National Security Advisor, should know that she should not be discussing classified details of an imminent op on an unsecure thrid-party platform…with a reporter in the room.

      Same with Vance, etc.

      We WANT this administration to remain incompetent. These people were approved for the sole reason of “sticking it to the libs,” and that mission is accomplished. If these people are fired, they might get replaced with those who actually have some level of competence.

      Nah, stick with the idiots. When the time comes, they’ll be much easier to beat strategically by a competent militia led by competent military leaders who were fired for their competency, intelligence, and patriotism. Then these treasonous MAGAMorons won’t just get fired, they’ll get some far worse fate, which they have earned.

      Honestly doesn’t matter what the Democrats do. Republicans learned that their voters will never hold them accountable so why step down?
