Americans Demand Breathalyzer Be Attached to Pete Hegseth’s Phone

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Amid the outcry over the leaking of top-secret war plans, on Monday millions of Americans called for a breathalyzer to be attached to Pete Hegseth’s phone.

In an emotional apology at the Pentagon, Hegseth said that someone in his position “should never drink and text, and so I am giving up texting.”

According to national security experts, a journalist was given access to highly sensitive war plans that are normally available only to people using a public bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

Oh dearie me, sounds like highly sensitive war plans have become the substitute for toilet rolls.

There was another lie he A tlantic invnted and was proved to eb false anyway. Th shit you to believe is really crazy BS.

Its been confirmed 100% true.

Not the right man for the job.

This doesn't seem to be the kind of thing that should be discussed in a phone message group in the first place, unless it is with some kind of proprietary app that can't just accidentally be shared with someone in your contacts.

Bozo's arselickers - hand-picked because of their blind loyalty - proving to be incompetent morons. What a surprise . . .

DJT does not select them based on race at least... Christmas every day with Trump in charge, liberals are fully exposed. And it will keep going... Give that man a third and a fourth terms and clone him so he can make some other. Best thing to ever happen.

If it's 100% true as reported, he should be fired...end of.

"The White House confirms that a journalist was inadvertently added to a group chat where senior US officials discussed plans for a strike against the Houthi rebel group

Editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, says he received an invite on the encrypted messaging app Signal from an account labelled White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz

Officials apparently discussed Europe paying for US protection of key shipping lanes, with the account appearing to be VP JD Vance saying he hates "bailing Europe out again" while the account appearing to be Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth describes the continent as "PATHETIC"

Hegseth, who is alleged to have shared details of planned military strikes in the chat group, tells reporters "nobody was texting war plans"

Trump's national security team's chat app leak is a stunning failure, writes BBC's Anthony Zurcher

US President Donald Trump says he "doesn't know anything" about the group chat

"A soldier with the rank of major with degrees from Princeton and Harvard can't be that bad?"

LMAO!

Got to love dumbmikes ignorance, never let a fact stand in the way of your ignorance there Mike bwahahaha.

No fact checking, no waiting to see what develops just post your usual BS response and don't give a shit how stupid you look.

Chance of this loon stepping up and admitting his stupidity NONE but he will repeat this over and over just like the thousands of times he has done it already on this site and still expect us to swallow his BS as if we were as gullible as he is.

I stand in awe of you dumbmike as someone of such a low IQ can some how still breathe on your own is truly something, well done that man.

Many photos of Hegseth across the internet show him drenched in sweat.

He is clearly an alcoholic who probably drinks on the job.

Trump has appointed a government out of billionaires, with the remainder incompetent toady sycophants.

There were NO war plans discussed it was allabout weather here were agrement on the issue of emen - with The VP Vance questioning the timing . In any event the only thing deccided on what entails aerial and missile attcks and even a kid of 9 year old would have known that is he only waay Trump handle issues - no ground troops getting involved in hat mess, In any event what war plans have been discussed - surely not discussion of the detailed instructions on target and . War plans are not that type of dicussion and evvn schol kid ould know that ot her han an aerial bmbardment would occur, Once that decision is taken the local commanders would be provided as to targets to be bombed and those were not even lnked to them directly - that is the instructions on equipent ad taget would be delivered tt to the admiral in charge would receive them from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

You again wen Awol; n issues, When under Boden 5,1 million army related document as set to an individual in Mali and although it was scndalous it was a topic in responsible media for a few days - but never in he fak emdia you are involved in.,

"

How the ehll has logic got nothing to do wit h the BS spreader on site. After Biden that neve spoke to his Secretaries of he Treausry and Defense Secretary for 9 months before his very welcome desdrture ffom the Presidency - their needs to be co-odination between Departments and cabinet mmbers to ensue that all pinions re taken into account on issues,

What was discussed reaes t the issue of air strikes against the Houthis - a terrorist organizaion controlled and funded by Iran. What was discussed was the strategy to be followed in actions against the Houthis and not the acual air attacks o be implemented, W hata ctually what happened was the Waltz - as White House Advior on the issue set up a Chat group service and he allowed a staff member to design and imkment the c hat group system.

Hegeth had fuck all to do with the strategy and as unaware of hom would get the issue iscussed - so BS ters followed their fake emdia again to attack anything done by Trump. Waltz accept full responsiblilit for the fact that ne of his appointees put one of the worst enemies of he Trump administration - the Chief Editor of the Atlantic - an ultra-left fake nes ag ency even worse than The G uasrdian ccess to what was discussed. The man was obviously a plant in becoming the lair-in-Chief after Schiff access ti what as discussed and as was clear that the case was once against BS. Waltz accepted full responsibility what happened and Trump decided not to take action against Waltz. The same cannot eb said o the staff member who set up the system - he is likely to ace ch arges of High Treason for doing what he did. I would not be surprised if he ends up with anything less than 20 years in jail.

Trump's pograms on Federal Public Service clearing out criminals and treasoners from the Federal Public Serice is enuh to deal with the remainig BStes the criminal DP still can use in their fight against he elected Governent of the USA. So no wonder the support of the voters of the Democratic Party is now down to 27% -since they became a Party associated with bribery and corruption as well as high treason exponents. So I am in full support f the D P self-destrcting.

. . . . .

Mike, it was a shit show. There's no explaining it away.

The memes are gonna be good at least.

A gree it is a sh t s hw - but it also include infiltration by the ulra-left Democrats into Trump's Administration and I am glad this came out now and the manner in w hich it came out. It is esarly enugh to open Trump's eyes who are the traitors in his Aministration.

Get over it, he's a common drunk.....finish en klaar!

He didn't set up the chat...common drunk lol...he might be a drunk, but he's not common at all...I don’t like him much...too windgat, but it's unlikely that he's a drunkard.

His own mother thinks that he's a common ratbag .

(Ed we need emojis please).

I wonder why they lied about it under questioning. The whole world would know they're lying when they denied sharing classified info, there was nothing to gain by it apart from ruining your reputation. Better to be known as an honest incompetent than a lying incompetent. I know politicians lie for a living, but you kinda need to have plausible deniability to not look like a total doofus.

Nah, with this Maga lot there will undoubtedly be another new, 'wtf.'s this all about moment', sooner rather than later !

He lied, I watched the interview, to his credit he appeared sober but he was probably suffering from a hangover. Doesn't matter he's a Gatkruiper and a dronklap appointed by the lunatic who runs the WH.

Liberals are all about submission. They want people to submit. They want a society people must submit. Always the same. It is very funny. The more unbeilevable, the better. When you spur believable incorrect stories, you never know if people submit to the believable side of things or to you. When you force on people blatantly incorrect stuff, you know they submit to you and no one else. Liberals work that way. They take unbelievable things, they know no one believes (even the negroes liberals repute as the least intelligent segment in humanity) and they want those unbelievable things to be the official statements, the consensual version. At least, religions have that little space for excuse, religions can always hide behind the impossibility to prove a god does not exist. Liberals on the other hand do not hide, they leave no room to know their stuff is all incorrect, that there is nothing in it. Liberalism is totalitarianism. Submission, submission, submission. Standing corrected on one point though, it was expected that this trump administration would slow down but no, for the moment, they seem to get speed instead, every day is more revealing than the previous one. And it is not the best, the best is all the liberals who want people to believe that Trump is not a globalist, that he is a constitutionalist, that he is a low and order president, a peace president, a human right defender, an equal under the law president, that the US are the most benevolent power in human history and stuff. It is not about the Trump administration, it is about Liberals and who they are, their hatred on humanity, their will to destroy it.

Storm in a tea cup...embarrassing, but really a nothingburger.

Incompetent, drunken lickspittles include a left wing journo in the group discussing a military attack . . . and the Trumpanzees are saying "nothing to see here . . . move along."

LMAO!

Can you just imagine how much foot-stamping and indignant finger-pointing there would have been if this had been the Biden administration? We'd literally never hear the end of it . . . but Bozo's hand-picked clowns get a free pass . . . just a storm in a teacup!

How the hell do you know Hegseth is a dunkard? Idiot to believe all these media BS dispelled by his family and BB lied about what his mother said about him before the Senate hearing. Remember how the Democrats bribed his ex-sister-in-law to make a false statement about Hegseth and his ex-wife said what her sister said was BS. He is a huge amount better as Defense Secretray that his predecessor Austin was - who fucke d up royally when he was a dud and so were general Milley, Both lied to Congress about the catastrophic Afghanistan when the US army during the night fled in chaos and left behind billions in armaments and thousands of green card holders and US citizen for the benefit of the Taliban.

. .

D uplicate

Rudehole...the only actual data of the attack was the times...nothing else...no targets or other specific detail...yes, it was a pathetic blunder, naive and stupid, but nothing compared to the desaster of the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal...perspective...

"So the person who supposedly added the journalist to the Signal group chat, Alex Wong, was an attorney for Covington & Burling, one of the law firms that Trump included in his EOs about government contracts and security clearances. "

Draad

He will not be working for anybody soon - he better become a lawyer in full time emplay by the DP - who have gone totally mad in the process,

After the election results became known the DP decided that they will take everything to courts. so as part of the startegy in December the DP submit a list of Justices they want approved immediately, Those Judges are the one's who the DP approach for decisions to undermine the Trump Administration. The court cases are in the main disastrous from a political perspecftive, For instance only a very small percentage of the voters oppose the deportation of gang members from the USA, The voters wants a moderate Democratic Party - the ultra-left radicals wants the criminals in the USA. No surproise though - there are a long stream of Democrat Politicians who wanys the Justice Department turned their activities away from he crimes they committed - so crminals are standing together in that case.

I went through that transcript and it does not contain any war plans at all - so t hat was the first media lie, The next one was to bame Hegseth fpreverthing and that was BS as well. The one was the reference to the fact that the USA has to protect the ships in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, Without the USA Protection the Cape Route wi; be the only alternative and that push up transport cost,

The fact is the media lies about what was discussed and called it war plans which it was not. At best it could be called the impact of eh Houties on ships using the shipping route to and hrough the Zues Canal. The idea basicall is that the cabinet members should prepare themselves for detailed discusson at the next Cabinet Commttee meeting, Nothing that was discussed is of issues he public are well aware of even if the fake media pretends otherwise and spoke about non-existing "war plans:":

What is not amazing is that site idiots ran wild on an issue blaming everything on Hegseth who did not implement the group discussion system and was aware it was to conduct secretive discussions and was as surprised as to potential leakage. Fact is as it turned out the leak was to be blamed om Waltz who set up the system and left it to experts to devise the system, So the media are shitspreading and our site idiots fell for it totally.

There's nothing wrong with a man loving his dop but there's a helluva lot wrong when he drinks on the job.

That's the problem when you're a pisspot.

Is there any evidence that Hegseth is an alkie and drings on the job?

Hegseth has been accused of sexual assault and excessive drinking, and has endorsed extremist Christian doctrine

Guardian staff

Sat 25 Jan 2025 02.57 GMT

The Senate has confirmed Fox News host and army veteran Pete Hegseth to be the US secretary of defense, placing him in charge of the federal government’s largest agency after a tie-breaking vote had to be cast by JD Vance.

Three Republican senators – Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins – and every Democratic senator voted against his confirmation, leaving him with 51 votes, enough to become Donald Trump’s third cabinet member to secure Senate confirmation.

Here are five things to know about the next defense secretary.

1. He is immersed in extremist far-right Christianity, and has the tattoos to prove it

1. In a series of podcasts, Hegseth appeared to endorse the theocratic and authoritarian doctrine of “sphere sovereignty”, a worldview derived from the extremist beliefs of Christian reconstructionism and espoused by churches aligned with far-right Idaho pastor Douglas Wilson.
2. In the interviews, Hegseth expresses agreement with the principle of sphere sovereignty, which envisions a subordination of “civil government” to Old Testament law, capital punishment for infringements of that law such as homosexuality, and rigidly patriarchal families and churches.
3. Extremism experts have sounded the alarm over his nomination, also pointing to his tattoos, which feature a tapestry of symbols widely embraced by Christian nationalists, including a Jerusalem cross on his chest, an American flag with 13 stars partly obscured by an assault weapon below his shoulder and the words “Deus Vult” (“God wills it”) on his biceps.

2. He has been accused of sexual misconduct and aggressive behavior toward his ex-wife

1. Although he has denied the allegation, Hegseth paid a $50,000 settlement to a woman who accused him in 2017 of sexually assaulting her. According to a police report, he took her cellphone and blocked the door of a hotel room they were in to prevent her from leaving. During his confirmation hearing, he refused to answer questions about the incident, calling them “anonymous smears”.
2. Senator Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the armed services committee, confirmed this week that senators have received an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law alleging that the nominee’s aggressive behavior prompted his second wife to fear for her safety. Hegseth and his ex-wife, who divorced in 2018, have denied the allegations.
3. According to Reed, the affidavit outlines claims that Hegseth regularly drank alcohol to excess and caused his family members to fear for their safety.
4. The affidavit indicates that Hegseth’s second wife, Samantha Hegseth, became so fearful that she instituted a “safe word” with friends to indicate when she was in danger and once hid in a closet to escape her then husband.

3. He has also faced allegations of excessive drinking at the workplace

1. The New Yorker reported last year that, according to a whistleblower report, Hegseth was seen drunk at multiple events hosted by the nonprofit he led between 2013 and 2015. “I’ve seen him drunk so many times,” one person who contributed to the report told the New Yorker. “I’ve seen him dragged away not a few times but multiple times.”
2. The affidavit seen by senators also alleges that he regularly drank to the point that he passed out at family gatherings, and on one occasion, he needed to be dragged out of a strip club while in uniform.
3. The New Yorker also reported that Hegseth ordered three gin and tonics at a weekday breakfast meeting as recently as the spring of 2023.
4. During his confirmation hearing, Hegseth acknowledged he was “not a perfect person”. He promised senators that he has stopped drinking and would not do so if confirmed as defense secretary. But he would not commit to resigning if he did drink on the job.

4. He has said women shouldn’t serve in combat roles

1. Although he walked back the comments since being tapped by Trump, Hegseth has said in recent interviews that he doesn’t believe women should serve in combat roles. “I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles,” he said on Shawn Ryan’s podcast in November. “It hasn’t made us more effective, hasn’t made us more lethal, has made fighting more complicated.”
2. Women on the armed services committee, including Iowa senator Joni Ernst, a former army national guard commander, have expressed concerns about his comments. Ernst, nonetheless, has said she will support him.
3. According to Reed, the affidavit obtained by senators also alleges Hegseth has said that “women should not vote or work”.

5. He’s been accused of financially mismanaging nonprofit

1. According to reporting by the New Yorker, Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit groups that he ran, Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America, due to allegations of financial mismanagement in addition to claims of sexual misconduct and drinking.
2. The New Yorker obtained a whistleblower email sent to his predecessor at Concerned Veterans for America that detailed how Hegseth “treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account”.
3. At Veterans for Freedom, the financial situation under Hegseth was so bad that donors tried to figure out how to take control of the organization away from him. “I watched him run an organization very poorly, lose the confidence of donors,” Margaret Hoover, a former adviser to the group, told the New Yorker. “The organization ultimately folded and was forced to merge with another organization who individuals felt could run and manage funds on behalf of donors more responsibly than he could.”

Bob...all I see is accusations...and like I said, I don't like him, but that's no reason to accuse him of drinking on the job...

PS...much more concerning was that they bombed the building of one of the terrorists' gf to kill him...let that sink in...they intentionally attacked a civilian building...and the journo complains about him giving some time layouts for the attacks...amazing.

A wife-beating, incompetent drunkard.
