The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

[neohippie]

Source: The Atlantic

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen.

I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.

This is going to require some explaining.

Just wow, but her emails

Trump security team clearly violating operational security and likely the records act using Signal app and setting messages to self delete

Like top security war plans. How’s that Nuclear arsenal doing, drunken Pete?

6. "Accidentally" is hardly the right word for what is, at best, staggeringly gross negligence.

8. Trump's administration is leakier than a colander

Their filing system probably consists of the cabinet's bathrooms.

9. "incompetence, thy name is trump'

His will go down as the most head-up-its-own-ass administration in the history of history. And it's only the third month.

12. This story is insane

I never want to read another “emails” complaint from MAGA ever again.

13. This is EXACTLY the level of competence anyone should have expected from a man who talks at the level of a 4th grader

and goes out of his way to fill his cabinet with the most unqualified people possible.

15. I can't help suspecting he did that on purpose, but then I doubt he knows the competent people

He only chose "loyalists," those he knew personally, either friends of relatives, his attorneys or those he saw on Fox TV.
