The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
-
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.

This is what corruption and mediocrity combined look like
Also, this is where all the people that wanted to burn Hilary due to some emails should come out and burn this administration to the ground... but that won't happen because that is what hypocrisy looks like
But her emails...

Is it weird that the most shocking thing to me in all of this is that they all act like facebook boomers even in "private" operational meetings? "I will say a prayer for victory," coming out of fucking vance's fingers (and then prayer emojis from everyone else) is just fucking insanity. Like, I expected that behind closed doors they all call it nonsense and act like 4chan dipshits.
The mass leaking of operational information is totally to be expected. Just look at russians and Telegram.

In normal times heads would roll. This is the "buttery males" from Clinton except involving actual classified information.
What would have happened in normal times? Congressional and senate hearings. Cabinet level officials being grilled, and being fired.
And that pales in comparison to what would have happened if the offender hadn't been a cabinet-level official. If a junior officer had discussed something classified and accidentally sent it to a journalist, they probably would have been thrown in prison.
What's just pathetic is that the best you can hope for in this scenario is that for a short while, these people actually do start using secure government communications and SCIFs just to avoid additional embarrassment.

Last comment is gold. Neeeeeeaaaarly there...

Evidence is not proof.
Making a claim is neither. Show me.

Unfortunately, they predicted a bad actor getting access to their server/devices. Reality is even stupider since someone accidentally included a journalist in their classified group chat.

Man--you use a LOT of long hyphens--How do you even do that?--The long dash--I can't find it anywhere--Do you have a special keyboard?--
Long press on the dash in your symbols

I said breached, not by whom.
But yes. It's objectively more hilarious than a malicious actor ever could be.
Like no one had to do anything.
Sheer incompetence did them in. -
These guys aren't even playing 2D chess... 1D chess, snakes and ladders?
They're playing tic-tac-toe and losing even though there is a full-proof strategy to never lose at it.

Sure.
I mean, you could have said that about dozens of things per day over the last 2 months, and each one of them would have been more likely to get him removed from office than this. But, sure.

They want to show that they really believe in those bullshit prayers, that they are good Christians or something like that. When behind the scenes they don't give a shit about religion.
They're at least being performative with each other.

Zuck has to be pissed it wasn't WhatsApp.
Signal: so good even people who hate privacy use it!

This is the dumbest timeline

No he's what you can a drunk, he's not functional I'm not even sure how you could buy that illusion from the constantly sweaty red faced man.

A few interesting snippets from the conversation.
nobody knows who the Houthis are – which is why we would need to stay focused on: 1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.
Always blame the previous admin.
But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC”—operations security.
[...]
In his text detailing aspects of the forthcoming attack on Houthi targets, Hegseth wrote to the group—which, at the time, included me—“We are currently clean on OPSEC.”
LoL, the irony.
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.
Well, fuck you too Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth.
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.
These idiots actually believe their own propaganda. We're truly fucked

This is one of those things where if the left had the capacity to practice messaging discipline and media coordination they could repeat everyday for the next two months with brutal consequences for the right-wing administration.
But this will be forgotten about by tomorrow
