The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

HomerJS · Mar 24, 2025

In light of right wing hate for DEI it amazes me how hiring incompetent white boys is treated as normal. Hope you people are happy with Trump endangering national security.

Waiting for Trump's excuse makers to chime in.

I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Drunk war making is as old as fermentation. Drunk texting is never good.

I love the part about getting Europe to pay up for something they cannot even do lmao.

Well if there's one thing we know it's that the patriots who spent several years demanding Hillary Clinton be imprisoned for her poor handling of classified information will be right here to demand the resignation and prosecution of these individuals.

After all - Republicans have consistently shown a principled position on the protection of classified information.

If this was a Democratic administration an NYT reporter would shoot the hinges off my front door with a shotgun and forcibly yank my earbuds out to tell me.

I'm waiting for the headline of:
'In an unorthodox move, Trump administration demonstrates modern communication methods to the press'

In the old days, if some foreign power got hold of a classified document, they would be debating its authenticity and considering how trustworthy the source and their motive is. These days it seems that US classified documents can be verified from numerous sources: Stuff Trump has sold, stuff Musk has sold, stuff from a instant messaging source we've got on the books, stuff from another instant messaging source that was easy to hack, Russia's not-so-secure mirrored copy of all US classified docs, the GQP's "hacked" OneDrive account with the password "FOXNEWS4EVER"...

Is anyone truly surprised? It's always been a clown show, and still is. This is what we voted in.

Haha exactly. Thank god we got those DEI incompetents out of there so the qualified people could step in.

Somehow I am not even angry or disappointed.

I've discovered some sort of weaponized state of aggressive apathy.

Weird how pcgeek88, felix88, and greenman haven’t chimed in with whataboutisms, or mistakes happen, or this was Biden’s fault. 🙄

I know. TIC. You have to make light sometimes while Rome burns. Imagine the jokes while the Titanic was sinking.

And make it worse considering that Russia already spied all the USA movements and screwed the situation big time that Houthis might counter USA and ruin the situation.

Even Israel when they attacked, were more secretive.

Funny story I hate Putin with all my guts, due his help to Venezuela, the latter are ruining South America and wants to ruin everything they touch.

Russia at the end will meet a fate worse than destruction with Putin.

The clown show continues in the Trump Administration. I already see MAGA making excuses.

Also, love that they're using Signal - trying to avoid FOIA and archiving laws.

The DUI hire strikes again. What a fucking joke this admin is.

HomerJS · Mar 24, 2025

Give it to white boys and they fuck it up. How about some qualified women or people of color.

Oops that's the dreaded DEI!!!!
