@RepSwalwell
Everyone on the public WAR PLANS group text should immediately lose their security clearances and be fired. Their idiocy just put a giant target on America. We are not safe.

(4,466 posts)They simply do not care about doing what is right. In fact, they relish defying norms and laws. They shit all over our laws, our constitution, our military, our intelligence agencies and DARE anyone to do anything about it.

(44,738 posts)There has got to be a punishment phase involved. The clumsy NONCOM who (actually) accidentally exposes classified information gets something much more severe than firing. Imagine if Dems had done this drama. Youd have to Imagine it because it never would have happened. There are protocols to be observed.

(943 posts)Not just push back on the reckless disregard for security protocols, but remind everyone that this shows how much the Hillary email thing was made-up bullshit. That, and orange doofus had boxes of classified in his bathroom.

"save" insignificant amounts of federal money. There's a reason why he only nominates/appoints the least qualified people possible for all the important positions.
Is DOGE going to come in and fire these actual, verifiable low perfomers? Make things more "efficient?"
LOL. Somehow, I doubt it.

(32,354 posts)...MAGAts by the tens of thousands would be rioting in the streets, maybe using it as an excuse to re-enter the Capitol to smear their shit on the floors and to again threaten the lives of public officials. Absolutely inexcusable.

(2,797 posts)We know Trump won't fire anybody and nobody will lose their clearance -- hell, half of them probably didn't have any clearance in the first place.
But if MANY Dems can carry through with the message of the day, this will put the GOP on the defensive. Force them to go on Fox News explaining why this was NOT a huge security breach.
The keys to making this work are:
1) create opportunities to be in front of a mic every day
2) Make sure all Dems know the message of focus every day
3) No matter what question is asked, turn the response into a comment about the message of the day.
For example, if a reporter asks, "Do you support the President's efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine?"
Answer, "You know, the central issue with Ukraine is the security of Europe and our NATO allies. But now we have a case where Trump people are giving out 'secret' war plans to reports and using unsecured communications. We even hear reports that Trump's Pentagon is giving Musk for a war he might be considering against China. With this administration being incapable of protecting military secrets, I'm not sure anybody from this administration should be talking to Russia about ANYTHING."

(2,003 posts)The entire modern conservative movement in this country is built on distrust and hatred of experience, intellect, and competence. Incompetence is something to be proud of, even rewarded for. This administration is the inevitable result.
There is nothing more dangerous than powerful, unqualified idiots, and that's literally all they are.
Bluetus
(2,797 posts)You don't do that with complex, abstract arguments. That is better accomplished by lobbing grenades.
"Trump people are incompetent" is very soft, and easily ignored.
"Trump people can't stop giving away our top secret military plans" is harder-hitting.
Karasu
(2,003 posts)There are a going to be a lot more military fuck-ups where this came from.
Bluetus
(2,797 posts)Trump regrets giving classified secrets to Putin. Basically, their worldview is that EVERYTHING about government is wrong. And that includes obsessive concern about classified information. Heck, "big data" knows everything already. What's the big deal? And the operation was successful, so just sit down and shut up while we show you the new way of running Washington.

(2,625 posts)about the China defense strategy until it was exposed via a news report. The Felon or should I say Sgt. Schultz said "I know nothing".
But high as a kite, Hegsworth knew about it.
But hey you have more important things to worry about than the safety of our country. Like removing heroic minorities from our military history and such.

(1,564 posts)Who else besides Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly included? Were there any Russians on the chat? Was it nefarious? Should, say, Tulsi Gabbard answer a few questions? Congressional hearings are undoubtedly called for.
