Oh, Look, Signalgate is Back
How many emotional support family members does this guy need?

So this came out yesterday:
Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details about an imminent attack on Houthis in Yemen in March in a second group chat using the messaging app Signal that included his wife, his brother and his personal lawyer two sources familiar with the contents of the chat told ABC News.
Those details shared in the second chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets involved in the pending attack on Houthi positions, according to the officials. […]
Why weren’t his kids and his mommy also in the chat? I don’t want to throw shade at recovering addicts, but Hegseth clearly can’t do anything but pushups without a bunch of supervisors making sure he keeps his hands off the bottle.
Needless to say, someone as grossly incompetent and in need of adult supervision is not impressing anyone at the Pentagon:
The Pentagon is in “total chaos” and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.
“The building is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership,” John Ullyot wrote Sunday in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece. “The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”
Ullyot, who resigned from the Pentagon last week, described a department in collapse. He accused Hegseth’s team of “falsehoods” about why three top officials were fired last week, saying they hadn’t leaked sensitive information to the media. He chastised Pentagon officials for how they handled revelations that Hegseth shared sensitive military information in a Signal chat, and he pointed to other leaks that caused embarrassment to the administration.
Remember when Lloyd Austin wasn’t totally forthcoming about being in the hospital for two weeks to treat prostate cancer, and the Pentagon IG dinged him? Well, we don’t do that anymore. Instead, we have a man child who needs his wife, brother, personal lawyer and jebus knows who else to watch his ass.
One of the many resolutions that Trump seems to have made for his revenge tour second term is that he won’t fire anyone, but when someone like Hegseth essentially begs to be canned, I wonder how long Trump will hold out before he excises this tumor.
