      The only thing Hillary has done in the last decade is lose Democrats elections. Seriously look at her staffer’s win rate; they are poison to anything they touch.

      If she actually want’s to benefit the center or left she will shut the fuck up.

    Heads should roll? Maybe, if you ask nicely, the French may share some equipment and experience.

    The worst thing is aside from being inept and careless, there is no chance they aren’t selling secrets to anyone willing to pay.

      It’s bad, but not even close to the worst this admin has done. However, with proper screeching of NATIONAL SECURITY and shameful reminders about BUT HER EMAILS, this might be the first thing that Dems could sell to the Republican base as grounds to remove people. And let’s be honest, that’s who the Dems are really angling to persuade.

      Probably not tho, lol. Nothing will actually change. 🙃

        You don’t even really remind them about her emails you can just remind them about the laws they wrote making her emails illegal after the fact in a failed attempt to “lock her up.” We can scream “ILLEGAL MILITARY CHATROOMS” and “ILLEGAL ESPIONAGE”.

        The article claims that legislators on both sides were upset and I was making a joke about how the conservatives were okay with everything else up to this point.

        To be clear, if 13 GOP senators and as few as 3 house reps voted to remove Trump it would be done.

    Hegseth is now saying it didn’t actually happen, matching their incompetence with dishonesty, the tone of this “merit based” administration

    I think the important thing here is to not get distracted and focus on what’s really important:

    Hillary’s emails.

    Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) criticized the use of non-secure systems, warning that adversaries like Russia and China could exploit it.

    The singular problem with Americans doing a holocaust abroad is that another country might find out about it in advance.

    I mean, just think for a minute. What if we wanted to bomb a Russian orphanage or a Chinese university? They could take advantage of our data insecurity to thwart us!

    Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) condemned the administration’s mishandling of classified information, saying it endangers national security.

    We’re carpet bombing people on the other side of the fucking planet. This is so far outside the scope of “national security”.

    Absolute Ghoul Nation.

    I’m shocked that the administration of “Put the big boxes of top secret docs under the bathroom chandelier” would mishandle secret war plans.

    Remember in 2016 when the entire magat crowd screamed that Hillary should be locked up for using a private, secure server that was only accessible to authorized individuals?

    Surely they won’t be hypocrites and try to brush this under the rug, or worse try to blame the editor-in-chief who had no desire to get wrapped up in this.
