Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat. “If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

bsky.app/profile/msnb... Great point. There was no regard to share this information in that chat with any of those people.

“We have Pete Hegseth defending the indefensible and doing nothing to fix it.” Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) and other House Dems call on Pete Hegseth to resign after military plans shared on group chat.

The Administration is a lawless and vindictive cesspool. Filled with Grifters, Charlatans, and idiots. The clown car is full, and the chat room is filled to the brim with ego, fake testosterone, and simpletons.

The greatest leaders are able to admit when mistakes are made, and own their role in them. If you can’t admit your own mistakes, how can you expect those under your leadership to admit theirs? If mistakes are not acknowledged, how can they be learned from? Epic failure of leadership at all levels!!

He, they are going to kill someones, possibly many if that hasn’t happened already due to their egregious incompetence and careless disregard for our troops and intelligence services. Do they care?

Bewilderment?How is it possible that anyone’s left who doesn’t know that Trump demands "his" people agree with his delusions, support every distorted belief, agree with whatever horrible decision he makes and actually “challenge” nothing. He’s way too fragile to tolerate dissent. They’d be GONE.

Stand up to help our beloved veterans! "Thank you for your service" is not nearly enough. Let's show our Vets we appreciate their service and the sacrifices! Use your voice. Everybody everyday! Call your elected officials 202 224-3121 Senate 202 225-3121 House 202 456-1111 White House

"If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said."-- Trump's key promise to fans: that they could Do Whatever They Wanted & Never Take Responsibility. Just like Donald. Military realities clash with that philosophy of life. Life is unforgiving of toddler-style.

Trump has little to no respect for Vets or those serve to protect America He acts as though they are toys who's lives don't matter. These brave men and women are someone's child, they're parents, they're husbands and wives, they're loved. They deserve a "commander in chief" who appreciates them.

Trump Coup doesn't need air cover, when it has a Russian nuclear umbrella backing it. This is a foreign enemy hostile takeover, subcontracted out to local traitors! Look at who else was in the room with Witkoff as the strikes struck! www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

cbsnews.comAs top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in RussiaAs Trump Cabinet members sent texts on Signal, one of them, Steve Witkoff, was in Russia, but the White House says he didn't have his phone.

No military personnel can possibly have any faith, respect or trust for Hegseth! He's got their life in his hands. The military need to remember their oath is to the people & constitution not Trump & his corrupt & dangerous administration.

Can’t allow dtrumpf and his minions sweep this under the rug… Arrogant stupidity and blatant liars will get someone killed.. if they haven’t already… What happened to the people who gave the intel about the location of the target. Someone had boots on the ground. Completely unacceptable. 8647

Guys, chill. Those moronic people made the world a safer place. All countries will now have advanced notice of a strike. Just sit back, wait to be invited and relax. Don't forget to be in point with emojis when responding 🙂!

Criminal Investigation Unlikely: Attorney General Pam Bondi signaled there was unlikely to be a criminal investigation into the sharing of military operation details in an unsecured text group. Marco Rubio confirmed he was on &said someone made a “big mistake” by adding a journalist to the group.

"Bewildered" - My Ass! It's Too Late for this #Hegseth Jasper to, "Say He's Sorry"! This low-life used (still using?) a Government Device-with accounts on Both Secure AND Unsecure Servers! He did a Cut&Paste of Classified Text-From a Secure Targeting Program-Into an Unclassified Signal Chat App!

Trump is a 78 year old man with early symptoms of dementia being prop-up by complicit people like Stephen Miller, that surround the mad-king, to carry out a dead-letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible authoritarian theocratic government under “Project 2025” blueprint. White Cult.

When DEI was in place and the playing field was leveled, we didn’t see this lava of incompetence of these. It is now crystal clear that the anti-DEI crowd is a group of people who, without their money would not have friends or jobs.

I'm not even sure getting people killed will affect this administration. Houthi rebels could shoot down a handful of planes due to DOD incompetence and they'll just tell everyone they were DEI hires by Biden, sell them right out, and these maga morons will eat it up.

If military personnel didn’t already know, they should know now…..trump admin just doesn’t care. They just don’t care!!! Trump is more concerned about his ego than human life!

And his own revenge on anyone and anything that ever in his warped mind did him wrong or anyone who reminds him of someone who did or whose name begins with the same letter. Doing him wrong can of course mean: didn’t bow down to him or be exploited by him.

A sociopath will sincerely feel they did nothing wrong because they are not capable of feeling bad about what they did; on top of that, in their delusion they believe that to apologize is to be weak. Of course, real life doesn’t work like that.

They could have died. Plus, 1. All involved in the SignalGate LIED UNDER OATH (are these the leaders the military wants?) and 2. The unprincipled, imoral, unethical leader of the DOJ said she is “unlikely” to investigate it. Is this type of administration the military wants?

As if "...you're going to kill somebody..." is of any concern to anyone in the repugnican party or the present presidential administration. Remember COVID? Ever heard of measles? Remember Jan 6? How about "the election was stolen" hoax? They couldn't care less.

It's pretty terrifying to have that level of incompetence in charge of life and death decisions. Not to mention, one of the targets was an apartment building with civilian families in it. Isn't that a war crime? Who wants to be committing war crimes in our name?

RIGHT You guys..it is not treason when you have taken an oath to uphold and defend the nation against all enemies from outside or within to stand against a known enemy/traitor in our government. We are being attacked from within by intentional deleterious actions and extreme ignorance of the laws

Any reporter, do me a favor... the next time you are at WH, and Trump refers to the "many people tell me it's great" or "many people think I'm the best" please immediately ask Trump to "name 3 of these many, many people." Yeah u might get tossed but to see his erratic response would be priceless

Ask for three, then follow up with two, and then roll on the flor screaming. "One, just give us the name of ONE individual that likes this idea and isn't Vladimir Putin!"

Trump sets the tone and writes the script for all his minions. Trump has never and will never admit to a small error, let alone gross misconduct. Expect nothing but the same from his crew.

Yep. Speak up. Stand strong. This moron is going to get our Armed Forces members killed. He needs to go. What’s scary is who the next unqualified and incompetent pick will be. There’s no bottom for these MAGA morons.

possible hacks for later: a) when Signal app is joined by 2nd person, Benny Hill theme song starts and can't be ended b) when Signal app is joined by more than 10 people, thread is automatically joined by clippy without introduction notification. After 20 people, the emperor joins thoughts?

😄 what does that make the liars and cheats he exposed? Also, how is the journalist not honorable? Out of that entire group he's the only one protecting our guys on the ground and our democracy here at home.

These former Military pilots need to be heard from. I ask my neighbor and he was appalled, he is a retired Air Force pilot and commercial pilot. Wonder how MAGAt former military feel? Current Military pilots and their crew need to keep their opinions quiet. Their careers are at stake.

Yea, I've tried to avoid talking about politics at work, but I didn't let this one pass. I made it very clear to my Trumpy coworkers exactly what happened and what the consequences could have been. This is unacceptable and should not be allowed to fade into the background.

Calling for him to resign won’t work. If you any of these buffoons out, you need to convince 47 they reflect poorly on HIM and he looks incompetent. One prob w/ malignant narcissists (all of them) is that they Do. Not. Care. About. Others. Only about their image. Get 47 to do the firing.

When are you holding a town hall or rally, Democrats? Why don’t you get on Fox News so 1-2 of Americans hear the FACTS AND TRUTH for a change? So what if they are “mean” to you? You got the chops and the intelligence to FIGHT BACK! We need some forking LEADERSHIPFROM DEMOCRATS!!!

Used to do Force Timing & Deconfliction at HQ SAC back in the '80s. He's right - that onfo is classified Secret *at minimum*, Top Secret or above if the drones are launched from a classified location (a submarine, say).

I worked many years with classified docs as a defense contractor. Often it was not obvious why a particular document was classified Secret. But it's plain common sense that details about a military attack are classified Secret at a minimum. It's unbelievable what Trump and his cronies get away with.

And I guarantee, if the reporter who got added to the chat had worked for the NYT instead of the Atlantic, you fascist lovers would have buried it for Trump. You used all your powers for years, to encourage this to happen.

It’s not safe to serve under the incompetent Tyrannical Government. The TRAITORS are too STUPID, LAWLESS and IMPAIRED to be involved in any Military activities! All MAGA can do now is, LIE BABY LIE!

Like he cares? He is following the Trump playbook: never admit to anything, never apologize, and accuse others of the things of which you are guilty. And if you are called on your lies? Double down and lie harder.
