Somehow the real eye opener that they are using signal is glossed over when the real news should be that they are not doing this via proper channels?
buttery males
Trying to fall on the sword but missing it completely is typical GOP syncophant behavior.
I think it’s more like he fell near his sword such that it went harmlessly in between his arm and side, played dead for a few seconds, then checked through one half-open eye to see if anyone bought it.
I mean I know most of this admin are complete buffoons, but for some reason I can’t give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe because it took this long to own up to it, and other people in the group chat denied multiple times that it even happened.
Shares a name with the codename of a Russian asset, that’s all, innocent stuff.
Sorry, I’m OOTL. Which asset is that?
Just a joke about the Trump administration being immensely compromised by Russian intelligence, not thinking of any person in particular.
Oh, gotcha. I thought I was missing some juicy details. Thanks!
Well, apparently some of them were in Moscow at the time
But your comment sounded like you had something specific in mind. It doesn’t really work as a generic joke
No no no, Hegseth said he didn’t do it
Definitely some of The Narcissist’s Prayer going on:
That didn’t happen. (Hegseth lead with this yesterday calling the journalist a liar)
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. (Trump was here last night saying it was a small glitch)
And if it was, that’s not a big deal. (Now they’re saying “whoopsie” about adding the journalist but not addressing the use of Signal at all)
And if it is, that’s not my fault. (stay tuned)
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
Conspiracy Theory: use it as an excuse to charge the reporter under the espionage act to chill free speech of the press.
Will he get a lifetime supply of hay? For his role of a scapegoat?
He started the group chat, it’s not really that far fetched?
That’s probably why was chosen as a scapegoat in the first place. But the primary failure was the use of Signal as a tool, and it remains to be seen whose fault that was.
And calling a grave, mindless oversight that could have cost the lives of soldiers a “glitch” like Trump did shows his disregard to the people protecting his country, and, by extension, his own sorry ass.
Lock him up
