He is doing a fantastic job, he is great. I have met his wife, really good Americans.
A true patriot.

Whiskey Leaks is at it again.
Donald Trump Jr pushed back on the opinion piece, saying the author is “officially exiled” from Trump’s political movement. “This guy is not America First,” Trump Jr wrote on X. “I’ve been hearing for years that he works his ass off to subvert my father’s agenda. That ends today.”
The fuck?
The MAGA movement is a cult. Don Jr, the eldest son of the cult leader, is telling the other cultists this author is excommunicated from the cult. Thus the cultists know to ignore anything relating to this topic and can continue their blind devotion in peace.
I’m actually a little surprised that the fact he was an atrocious appointment took to as long to be proven!
It’s also crazy to me that we’re still in the “could cost him his job” era
Susan Collins told me he learned from his first mistake though. I'm starting to think he didn't.
What he learned is that there are no real consequences for such "mistakes"
Was she counting money when she said that?
He learned how to do it better, not how to not do it.
Thirty or forty more mistakes like this, and I might start to think this Susan Collins might not be a good judge of character
This is just another badge on his lack of a resume for the 3rd Trump term unfortunately.
who could have guessed that a Fox News pundit would make a shit secretary of defense.
Pretty much everyone that doesnt have Trumps balls in his mouth called that one.
The same goes for the antivax weirdo with a brain worm and pretty much all the MAGA picks.
Others do and HAVE been court martialed for less. Like no hyperbole, you are fucked if you are anyone else.
That's what I can't get over. I mean sure, we know double standards are rife in this administration but OMG how is the entire security community and leadership (looking at you, Congress) not absolutely losing their minds at this? Didn't they send a SWAT team or something after one of the War Thunder forum leakers for posting a simple manual?! This is just insane.
Sad, sad Drinky Pete. He's cursed with too many friends who share names in his phone.
There's a joke here about his wife and his brother getting sucked in, but I haven't figured it out yet.
This just in, the dumbest mother fucker you know might actually be dumber.
Let's tack Donnie into that call for losing their job for not doing a damn thing to prevent this after the first time around. Incompetent management, why do we not have a no-confidence vote mechanism?
Mr President, there's been a second Signal chat.
What I don't get about this is the reason. You'd think maybe more insider trading, but why would you need such specific information for that? A simple "attack on Yemen at...“ would be enough. In the first chat at least the people were tangentially concerned with the content, but his wife and lawyer? And ten more associates? For what, bragging rights? He must have known on some level that this is quite sensitive information and should not be shared with just about anyone. The sheer stupidity of all this is incomprehensible to me, it truly boggles the mind.
And one more thing: all of this has had no real consequences for the troops yet, but these kinds of failures will lead to catastrophic outcomes eventually. The Pentagon is now a clown-show and it is dealing with live-and-death decisions constantly. What a crazy time.
What I don’t get about this is the reason.
The man is, as predicted, staggeringly incompetent. He's just that bad at his job.
That's legitimately his only qualification for the job. That and being a brown nosing Yes Man.
