Decades from now students will learn about this whole period in schools - and they'll call the teachers liars and say there's a shadow government altering history.
Because no one will believe we had this level of stupidity and idiocracy. You literally can't make this shit up if you tried your best.
He's really going around bragging "Heh hurr durr, check out these plans I have access to because I'm the mf'ing top dog, I'm so good, let those doubters calling me a drunk eat a fat one." Repeatedly. Micro pp energy all the way.

Well, you are certainly more optimistic than me.
Good thing these fascists are this incompetent. 🤭
To be fair, he was drunk and just finished beating his wife. He thought that sharing state secrets would show his wife and brother how cool he is.
This fuckin' guy.
So?
-BUT HER EMAILS Republicans!
I'm fucking sorry but anyone with a clearance would point out that if any one outside of the Trump admin bumblefucks with perfect OpSec included a spouse and family in this type of information without a need to know, we'd be jobless and in a god damn jail from day one.
How god damn drunk, insecure, and clearly a danger to national security so you have to be to want to brag about knowing TS material to your friends and family to feel big while betraying your nation?
This honestly pisses me off so god damn much because those of us who actually take this shit seriously day in, day out, respecting OpSec no matter how absurd it can be because we are entrusted to keep national security secure.
And these assholes mock it, mock those of us who take it seriously because it's a serious fucking matter, they smile on God damn propaganda media and joke about this like it's a fucking kids game and make excuse after ridiculous excuse.
Honestly, charging them with treason isn't enough.
Uh, ~~Ralphie~~ Pete, get off the stage, sweetheart.
Goddamn, that is beautiful.
I mean at some point something has to give right?
Democracy
Buttery males
"Can't meet you guys at the bar for drinks we are about to bomb Yemen. Don't wait up, my boy JD and I are going to get blackout drunk and try to drift a motorcade vehicle around the lincoln memorial." Or something to that effect.
Darn. I read this as Hegseth was reportedly attacked by a shark.
Can we try that?
i wish dude
we're currently clean on OPSEC
This is the dumbest man. Also this is the dumbest, man. Fuckin' 80 years of being instructed on how to recognize and resist a rising tide of fascism down the drain because not enough people understood that it was real and not just fun and games, and too many thought themselves the kind of rugged individualist who would survive full blown war, famine, and genocide by the nature of their incredible strength and willpower. The somehow don't take into the formulation of their plan to survive fascism by siding with the Nazis that WWII was brutal for the Nazis. 5-6 million Germans died as a result of military losses and Allied air raids
That silly drunken rascal.
bona fide gooooober! Plastered Pete, always up to something a little devious!
Has Donkey Dick Doug been reached for comment?
I’m SHOCKED!
DUI Hire Pete sucks at his job
He only got it because of DUI
Yeah, very shocking a drunk in charge of top secret information isn't the best idea if you want to avoid grave damage to national security.
Who could have seen this coming?
And the ball sucking. Don’t forget that.
I uhhh seem to have forgot.
Do I want to remember?
He sucks Trump's balls because Trump is always right, which is what ALL government officials in the Trump administration do.
