only way hege is still in office is his pimp is unwilling to admit he picked the wrong drunk sos his wife, with no military clearance, was given the info on purpose. Isn't that illegal? Hegseth shared detailed military plans in second Signal chat that included his wife and brother Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans about a military operation against the Houthis in Yemen on a second Signal group chat that included his wife, lawyer and brother, three people familiar with the chat told CNN. The revelation comes as some of Hegseth’s closest advisers have begun sounding the alarm about the secretary’s judgment, including his former press secretary John Ullyot and three former senior officials Hegseth fired last week — his top adviser Dan Caldwell, deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll, who served as chief of staff to the deputy secretary of defense.
In any other administration, he would have been forced to resign and investigations, congressional and otherwise would be underway. He'll skate. It's the maga way.
more of the dysfunction of the dear leader's favorite drunk. glad to see these guys moved out as none of them were qualified as anything other than a sycophant Caldwell, 2 others sacked at DoD fight back in fiery joint statement Dan Caldwell, an Iraq War veteran who left his role at Defense Priorities to serve as senior advisor to new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, released a joint statement with Hegseth deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, the chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, on Saturday. All three had been terminated, according to reports on Friday. We are incredibly disappointed by the manner in which our service at the Department of Defense ended. Unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door. All three of us served our country honorably in uniform - for two of us, this included deployments to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, based on our collective service, we understand the importance of information security and worked every day to protect it. At this time, we still have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of “leaks” to begin with. While this experience has been unconscionable, we remain supportive of the Trump-Vance Administration’s mission to make the Pentagon great again and achieve peace through strength. We hope in the future to support those efforts in different capacities. The three men had been put on administrative leave earlier this week pending a leak investigation that reportedly revolved around military plans for the Panama Canal, a second carrier headed to the Red Sea, Elon Musk’s visit to the Pentagon in which he was supposedly getting briefed by top brass about military plans for confronting China, and the pause in cyber-intelligence for Ukraine. Details about the investigation were thin leading to all sorts of speculation about whether the three were being unfairly targeted or serving as "sacrificial lambs" for others in the Office of Secretary of Defense. Interestingly, the leak investigation seemed to have nothing to do with the massive embarrassment caused when National Security Advisor Mike Waltz somehow invited notorious never-Trumper Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, into a Signal chat in which Waltz, Hegseth and other top aides were talking about U.S. airstrikes against Yemen in real time. No one has seemingly taken the fall for that public relations catastrophe and likely breach of the Federal Records Act, as yet.
Plastered Pete strikes again. Dude is like the goofy drunk frat boy who has to always tell everyone how cool he is. “Hey look what I know, F18s are gonna take off at 5pm dude!” Just your typical DEI hires doing DEI shit. Morons Are Governing America
MAGA will scroll right past this, without comment. Because they don't care. Because they're patriots, who love America.
hillary ran the majority of the state department communications with her thru a private server that she then destroyed to prevent it from being searched, and Obama knew she was doing it quit trying to whitewash it. this is bad enough, it doesn't need to juxtaposed to anything else
[FONT=cnn_sans_display, helveticaneue, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif]12 people got the highly classified info. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/20/politics/hegseth-second-signal-chat-military-plans/index.html[/FONT] The chat was set up during Hegseth’s [COLOR=var(--theme-paragraph__link-color)]tumultuous confirmation hearing[/COLOR] process as a way for his closest allies to strategize, two of the people familiar with the matter said. But Hegseth continued using the chat, which had more than a dozen people in it, to communicate after he was confirmed, the people said.
When you report to the captain of the Titanic, just assume that everything we hear as the electorate is the tip of the incompetence iceberg.
The fun thing about this hire is that, along with; - the A1 Steaksauce Granny - the heroin addict anti-vaxxer - the unqualified dog-killer - the unqualified conspiracy theorist - the felon who quotes his non-existent alter-ego in texts ....... this DEI/DUI hire shows how non-existent is Trump's desire to actually appoint individuals who can serve and help the populace. It's all actually absurd, as absurd as if Napier insisted that his QB1 for next season was me. Imagine our Gator MAGAs going for that^. Not happening. But when it comes to an inability to serve the country? "No problem, we love you Donald! "
Regrettably—so damn regrettably, this is not so. Tulsi is heads and shoulders the worst and most untrustworthy. And Kennedy is the silliest, most caricature-like pick to lead our national health that I could ever imagine. And Lutnick is proving to be one of the most inept and dangerous picks ever to lead Commerce. But thank goodness they weren’t DEI selections.
She's probably equally incompetent the difference between the two is that Hegseth has the potential to do infinitely more damage than Trump's WWE hire.
