To their defence, they used the highly obscure language of emojis. It's like using invisible ink for any reader above 50.

What goes around comes around. Hegseth truly fits the Republican stereotype of an EOP hire. Got his job because of skin color. Unqualified. The highly capable person he replaced would never have made this misstep.

I own a pet sitting service and I took more care in hiring dog walkers than this so called administration did in hiring the people who are supposed to guard our nations secrets. I wouldn’t hire any of them to clean a litter box.

I agree with you. They are all clowns.

I keep telling them, "Talk to the mirror." Because every time they criticize others, it's usually them, with 3 fingers pointing back at them. 👉👈🪞

They were told not to use! They ignored it? Or only staffers get hacked on private phones in foreign lands? Criminal Gross Negligence!

👏👏👏

What do you expect from Hogsbreath, Slow Waltz and JD Fancypants?

🤡

The guy who hates DEI is really DVI - Designated Village Idiot.

Here's the thing: We only knew about this fiasco because they accidentally invited a journalist (!) to their Signal chat. They have been, and are, doing this every single day... we only just found out they were doing it. They have been leaking classified info to America's adversaries like a sieve.

Lucky this incompetence didn't cost any Americans their lives this time. I don't think we will be as fortunate in the future.

Unchecked power exacerbates stupidity

None of us asked for them.

5/..."It is impossible to know how much the Chinese will actually get from this breech, but it’s mana from heaven as far as they are concerned."

4/..."In addition to the messages themselves, the Chinese army is also blessed with much hacking experience, many powerful computers, virtually unlimited human resources and unlimited time. ..."/5

3/..."And finally, the Chinese coding analysts have the fully encrypted version of the message from U.S. communications to our troops. The Chinese can line up these three versions of the message to better understand U.S. encryption. ..."/4

2/ ..."First, there are the messages exchanged by the pretend Cabinet members on Signal, a commercial encryption package available on many phones. Beyond that, the Chinese now have the plain text of those messages. .../3

Yesterdays debakel already may have laid ground work for Americans to die. From an excellent comment on dailykos: "Think of what we have here. Or better yet, what the Chinese army has. An important national security disclosure in three versions. .../2

'We' haven't asked them to do anything of the sort. A narcissistic fascist reality TV president can't tell the difference between amateurs playing a role and real experts. Sadly, neither can most of the country.

He/they simply don’t care what “we” think because, privilege and arrogance. He thinks himself as a king who has no competition to the throne, it’s that simple (and scary). That’s why waving plackards from the sidewalks doesn’t cut it.

There is 2 levels of incompetence here that I hope gets discussed: 1) but her emails crowd doing something way way worse 2) the way they talk in private is the same as in public. The clown makeup doesn’t come off this is who they are. Blaming Europe and having unclear instructions from the boss.

💯 FACTS

It's astonishing to me that JG was the ONLY ONE in that chat group to recognize the problem to begin with!

Hegseth should step down immediately from his role as secdef seek treatment for alcoholism. Being a fucking asshole and a liar sadly has no cure.

Deliberate incompetence? They were told not to use the app

In any organization the ability to accept responsibility & admit mistakes is a sign of maturity & leadership. Trump & his admins are the antithesis of that. But no more so that unrepentant addicts Pete Hegseth & Elon Musk. The two are the embodiment of "my Generals lost control & burned Persepolis"

Goldberg disclosed nothing.........it had already been disclosed to the Houthi PC Small Penis Group and boy were there a lot of them.

he was lucky it was Jeffrey Goldberg & not a malign character who could have made considerable problems for this operation

And who knows how many more lives around the world will be in even more danger due to more of America's ignorance, ego and refusal to hold these incompetent people accountable. 😢🇺🇸

Unserious people doing very serious work. They are playing at going their jobs, not actually doing their jobs. This is typical "fake it until I make it" behavior.

Hegseth and Jesse Waters were the Jackass (tm) of network news.

Be more specific please. Republicans have allowed unqualified and inept individuals to serve in high level cabinet positions and as agency leaders because they have one specific quality, complete fealty to Trump. These people are dangerous to national security and democracy.

We are now governed not only by cartoon characters, but cartoons themselves.

Terrifying to know the next one that’s most certainly coming could come at a cost of American lives.

Jeffrey Goldberg is a hero

Exactly! More fun to come!!! NOT!!!

A whole administration full of people who blame and attack others rather than accept even a modicum of responsibility. It’s “pass the buck” instead of “the buck stops here.”

HA!!! I bought one of those for my mom when she started to have memory issues. I programmed it so #1 was her first born, #2 was her second, etc. She called it her Frog Fone.

I wonder how military leaders now explain to their troops why they are receiving nonjudicial punishment for inadvertently e-mailing personal data on a government system. I wonder how you explain pulling some E-3’s security clearance for posting their deployment return date on social media.

“We’ve asked…?” No, “we” didn’t ask for any of this. And the hypocrites crying about Hillary’s emails are the same assholes who’ll bury their heads in the sand over this.

Reminiscent of m&a behaviour from shitty executives. They always have their text chats offline to avoid scrutiny.

proud to show off insider knowledge of future attacks like a teen wanting to be part of a gang, that he spilled the beans that not only jeopardized military members' safety but showed adversaries his stupidity & easy-to- exploit recklessness. The tough guy facade is being laughed at globally. Karma.

With hegseth we get DUI.

They empowered "useful idiots" And they will dismantle your country.

Is this the most #IncompetentCabinet "at he whim of an oligarch", ever?

How responsible was Jeffrey Goldberg? What a difference!!!

We should all be a little terrified right now

Goldberg has the receipts!

Buttigieg talks about how classified info is put into unclassified mode…it’s either incompetent or deliberate. youtu.be/pQB6BSFbT2E?...

The Signal aspect isn't incompetence, it's intentionally illegal to avoid proper channels. The addition of the reporter was the incompetence.

🔥🔥🔥 these 🤡🤡🤡

There is no bottom to this bucket. They are endless in hubris. There used to be rules. We used to care about each other. Winners are less than 1 percent. And they wonder why the population is in full decline? Because there is a treacherous king in the USA. And his name is MAGA.

Just now upon landing in Hawaii. DOD Hegseth DENIEs texting War plans after WH admits it happen. LIar. How do we have him as defense secretary. He is a total clown! And refusing to take responsibility. Court Marshal this Jack ass.

Due to the highly sensitive nature of classified information and likely future military action, the DoD took the unprecedented step of switching from Signal to MySpace for future communication.

Chat bubbles are hard. We didn't know we could see who's in the chat!

Surprised they all did not admit that they were all drunk and drugged from the night before at one of the MAGA regular Friday night Coke and Orgy parties!

U honestly believe that? Wtf

Keep in mind Goldberg isn’t Russian.

This proves Trump right! He told us government was inept! Now we are seeing it! I expect an apology to Trump from you all.

What about Hilary's emails? And Hunter's laptop? Classified documents criminal trials? Am I too late? I got hit in the head a few times and thought it was 2016, 2019, and 2020 AGAIN, sorry. We will wait for the next "perfect calls"....or texts will do fine, too

No words. 😶

Yep and continue to expect zero consequences and no accountability from this incompetent administration.

✅️Followed you for that one.

Not to second guess as fine and as experienced a journalist as Jeffrey Goldberg is, if I were in his position, I might have engaged a trusted witness (such as a retired high-ranking military officer) as soon as I became aware I may be on an unclassified-but-should-o'-been-classified message thread.

Unwittingly leaks sensitive classified info, using an app that doesn't maintain public records, using unapproved software, etc. Literally all things Congress worried might've gone on with Clinton's emails. DNI, Sec of State, Sec of Defense, Nat Sec Advisor, and Chief of Staff all involved.

The dumb nation didn’t care much Trump had top secret docs stored in his bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago - this is who we have been for years.

#evilidiots #idiotsincharge #dotherightthingSCOTUS

Including errors that get Americans killed.

Subscribe to The Atlantic. Support integrity

if there's a rake to be stepped upon, this administration will find it and pounce.

Totally

It was a drunken frat boy Text. He revealed detailed info to people who didn’t need to know it Gross incompetence. These are forced errors

‪Covie‬ ‪@covie93.bsky.social‬ Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

It's the DUI hires!

A New Level of Incompetence Using Signal is wildly irresponsible, Making high security totally impossible. Trump’s team did the unfathomable, “Highest level of fuckup imaginable.”

What could go wrong? Well it already has and likely more than just once

Imagine if the put airfarce one in jeopardy,and someone shot it down,THE WORLD WOULD REJOICE🙌

What’s scary is that no one on the chat thought it was inappropriate to be discussing this stuff on Signal.

😂

Or Putin leaking intel to shame us

We’ve located Hillary’s Basket of Deplorables, & War Hero & Former Senator John McCains’ Hobbits From Middle Earth… Apparently they’re running The Country now…. news.sky.com/story/trump-...

What could go wrong did go wrong and none of us are in the least bit surprised.

I need a drink

More to come! For sure.

“Asked?” The pee wee amateurs came in and DFA’ed all the professionals.

Unforced error = indictable violation of national security laws. C’mon Scott.

Goldberg is a better person than the whole conglomeration of tRumps dim bulbs.

Good comparison

Are we at high crimes yet?

Hegseth: Gladly accepted ALL the US alcohol which was removed from Canadian store shelves. Priority shipments direct to the Pentagon.

Hegseth needs to resign tomorrow or be removed. Period.

Mike Johnson: "this only shows how well they did their jobs" sure?...but using a platform that is not allowed in the government, with a civilian invited in to hear all. hand wave all you want, you piece of shit

Five EYES? More like Five Guys.

The Secty of Defense has committed a crime. Jeff Goldberg has incriminating evidence of the crime. The Secty of Defense MUST be tried and convicted of that crime. The legal situation is obvious. The political ramifications (Hegseth keeping his job) are up to the insanity of our current govt.

The head of the snake kept classified documents in a bathroom. We should expect no less from his goons.

All of them in that chat knows they should not be using an insecure service, they all should resign!

Maybe we’re not looking at it the right way? These things are good for our enemies. The same enemies, our president has relatively good relationships with, especially personal economic ties.

Yes, and Tulsi will be the 'fall person' when the big bad thing hits! She is a woman and does not have Peroxide Propaganda so she was hired to be the scape goat!

Correction: Convicted Felon conned a return to the White House then planted his merry band of loser miscreants (with zero skills or integrity) to cosplay mission critical roles. Elon is now rooting around the Treasury and databases, side hustling with world leaders both friend and foe. #FUBAR

That is an insult to the pee wee leagues. It’s not about their lack of skill or experience, it’s their disdain for the law that makes them unfit.

These “unforced errors” are actually in violation of security and record keeping laws. But as a sign of the time… I don’t think anyone expects resignations, firings, or even investigations by the loyalists in gate keeping positions. How does this make us GREAT?

ATTN; @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social PLEASE PUBLISH THE FULL EMAIL THE YOU RECEIVED AS A "DUTY TO WARN" SINCE THE SITTING ASSHOLE IN THE WH AND HIS STUPID AND DUMBASS CABNIT DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG SENDING YOU THAT INFO... Thank you, the concerned ppl of the United States

This is the equivalent of putting a drunk high school girl in charge of national security (no offense drunk high school girls)!

We have et asked anyone to do anything. We objected with every tool we had. It’s the GOP in the senate that allowed this.

They are banking on the 24 hour Signal message deletion hoping to God that Goldberg didn’t keep screenshots of the rest. Goldberg should be permitted to share his screenshots with the world now that we know there was no national security information exchanged.

bsky.app/profile/your...

Who is this we you speak of: Steve Miller, Musk, Trump and who else?

Which of the 12 steps involves sharing classified information?

Scott: they never would have even known he was in the chat if he didn’t leave. this unforced error was colossal.

Ummm WE did no such thing. WE take no credit and no blame for this shit show.

Just stunning that these mouth breathing inbreds gutter thugs didn't expect Goldberg would release the details after they called him a liar?

DUI hire Pete Hegseth needs to be removed and disciplined

People like this are running Treasury and the IRS.
