Hegseth says none of this happened.

But of course it did happen amd the White House confirmed it and Hegseth knew it happened too because he was in the chat. But he did the usual MAGA scumbag response which not only is “LIE AND DENY”but to also go on the attack claiming fake news conspiracy, denouncing and smearing the reputation of the truth-teller.

Guardian Senior members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have been involved in a serious security breach while discussing secret military plans for recent US attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen. In an extraordinary blunder, key figures in the Trump administration – including the vice-president, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard – used the commercial chat app Signal to convene and discuss plans – while also including a prominent journalist in the group. Signal is not approved by the US government for sharing sensitive information. Buttery males!!🤣

Who could have foreseen that putting a drunken FoxNews TV host in a sensitive position might be a bad idea?

It happened because Trump nominated INCOMPETENTS to his cabinet. Everyone else knew that, and you think you're so smart but can't figure that out.... LMAO

I blame Trump.

He provided corroboration. Take blood type vs DNA for example. The same blood type may corroborate suspicion of murder where DNA proves it. According to Merriam-Webster, to "corroborate" means to support with evidence or authority; strengthen or make more certain. Corroboration is not the same as proof. Go tell it to Miriam Webster. I haven't seen anything whatsoever that corroborates or proves you have a clue what either term means.

Wow that's a shock The surprise last minute switch in candidates, the supposed rocketing up of the left in the polls where it doesn't make sense, the unions coming out in favour of the conservative candidate.... You know, it really is starting to feel like a repeat of the US election.

Poilievre better get some orange makeup and a comb over. Joking aside I just listened to Mark Carney answering a couple of questions. He sounded like a male doppelganger of Kamala Harris, many words but no real answers. The word salad is back, time to buy shares in Hellmann's.

In all honesty, he'd probably make a really good Mr Rogers-type character on a kiddy show. He's already shown that he can captivate an audience with that level of intellect and maturity.

Sat next to Jack on a Go train, no entourage, just him. We talked for a while, politics was totally left out of the conversation. The NDP lost their star when he passed on.

Or they could use one of these:

One look at people like eyeball and other supporters here Tells the whole story. They absolutely are horrified at the idea of holding the liberals to account and they do not want that to be a reason why they should not re-elect liberal people. Corruption must be tolerated if we're going to beat those darn conservatives. It all makes sense if you stop believing that your job as a voter is to benefit the country and start thinking of yourself as beholden to a political party whether they do the right thing or not

No, they are very much a Gish gallop of deflection. If you want to debate some specific claim, feel free to raise a topic elsewhere. Likely lying? No, blatantly. Well, unless he got blackout drunk and forgot that he did those things. And he's unlikely to learn anything. As part of the Fox News machine he's been casually lying to you people for years without consequence, so he's unlikely to find a conscience now.

The hypocrite is YOU. When it comes to PATHOLOGICAL LYING, Trump is by FAR in a class BY HIMSELF. Trump made 30573 false or misleading claims as president ... The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com › politics › 2021/01/23 Jan 23, 2021 — The Washington Post Fact Checker's database of Trump claims, originally launched as a project to track his first 100 days, offers a window ...

No. I said the whole thing was a screw up. I'm on the side of consistent. You are the one that is both decrying and excusing lies depending on the side of the aisle they are on.

Nobody is right all the time. Not everybody is in agreement on the facts or perspective. Those things don't necessarily undermine trust, unless they are frequent and persistent. A lie is making a statement you know not to be false or making things up entirely and stating them as facts. Instead of being pissed off that Pete Hegseth lied casually about something that had already been confirmed, you want to deflect and make it about someone else. That's why this is the post-shame era. As a defender of a POTUS who is a pathological liar and the similarly morally compromised yes-men (and women) he appoints, all you have is deflection. Pathetic.

Say what?

It may not qualify as slam dunk forensic proof but it sure qualifies as solid corroboration, especially as it relates to past drinking. As you can see he's left his drinking in the future an open question.

Correct, so who?

Liberals outraged after Bloc candidate says they are worse than Trump | National Post The liberals are fine with calling the conservatives is bad or worse than trump all day long, we're saying that PP is a trump worshipper or the like But it's just scandelous when someone CORRECTLY points out that the libs have done more to harm Canada than trump ever did and represent a bigger threat

Poilievre presses Carney's China ties after India report | National Post Wow! So Carney goes to china acting on behalf of the Canadian government And comes back with a quarter billion dollar loan for the company he is still a major owner in that he just moved to the states. And that loan is still outstanding, and so if Carney is prime minister his major business holding and his job for after politics will be in debt to the chinese for a quarter billion and he knows it. And hes' supposed to be able to deal with the chinese trade war on our behalf? I wondered why the story about our trade war with china with 100 percent tariffs on canola had fallen off the map. I think even the liberal supporters here are going to realize we just cannot have this guy in power. There's no possible way he could be objective in representing Canada's interests

Carney has stolen a good portion PP platform, the same platform that leftists were screaming about just weeks before....and suddenly they like it now... PP should delay all his announcements and one up Carney for the rest of the Election...lets see how unimaginative the liberals can get...Like when carney announced No GST on people building their first home...then PP announce NO GST for anyone building a new home up to 1.2 million...Canadians like money more than they like anything else...including party lines...

I didn't ask you to shut your mouth, just reminding you your foaming at the mouth. Don't feel sorry for me, because i really don't think all that much about you...I happen to like most of PP plans ...while you have been suckered by more liberal BS coming from the same party that has brought us to where we are today....Carney has spent years advising Justin...not sure why you think things are going to be different... Yes 16 % of the population want to become the 51 st state....after 8 plus years under the liberals who can blame them...the country is a wreck....and your nose blind to all of that...but hey let's give the liberals another 4 year term because they are have done so well already....8 years what did the liberals really accomplish to better the nation...most of that was from the NDP... Funny you mention BQ who's sole goal is to separate from Canada Great example, even they want to leave so i would say more than 16 percent want to leave....Besides the the last thing the US wants is a bunch of whinny Canadian leftists, they got their fill of lefty's already....

Just keep running. Much easier than admitting you are a liar and wrong.

They're whistleblowers various news reporters quoted on condition of anonymity. That's how media often works. In any case Hegseth's own words provide strong corroboration to the whistleblower's veracity. During his confirmation hearing, Hegseth acknowledged he was “not a perfect person”. He promised senators that he has stopped drinking and would not do so if confirmed as defense secretary. But he would not commit to resigning if he did drink on the job. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/24/pete-hegseth-what-we-know

Name the "co-host" that said this. You can't. No one did. You have anonymous sources that were not a host, but just some random person affiliated with the show that has been refuted by the actual co-hosts who are on record.

Who did that?

You have to ignore all the people he worked with on record saying he was not a drunk and listen to anonymous sources that were directly contradicted by the facts and evidence on the record. Why? Because you are a liar here.

Unsubstantiated slander against conservatives: This IS true. I just know it. Anyone who doubts this is a liar and a racist/misogynist!" - Libbies Accusation, with incontrovertible evidence, against Liberals: "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! IT'S AGAINST SCIENCE! ONLY A RACIST WOULD SAY THAT! WHATABOUT WHEN THAT GIRL SAID THAT SHE WAS RAPED SOMEWHERE IN NY STATE IN APPROXIMATELY 1996!!!" - Libbies

This is two lies. This was not your only assertion and this assertion is not true either.

Carney and his fellowship have already succeeded in doing the first thing he must set out to do: get the ignorant voters to squabble about who is more or less "left", "right", "woke", etc. Partisanship is the very thing that keeps democracy from actually working. People have been duped into thinking he has been a "public servant" but in reality he was schooled in the real world by the same people who control and run the US economy = Goldman SUCKS. The job of every Wall Street alumnus is to seek to effect legislative, regulatory and enforcement of finance within each economy. If Canadians are stupid enough to elect him (and they probably are) the Hill will be controlled by the same people who now run what is within the Beltway. You see: they really are now "too big to fail".

That pretty much IS everyone who opposes trump

I'm not a dipper but think choices are good. Heaven forbid we turn into that god forsaken two party shit show we see to the south of us.

BREXIT was a perfect example of the perils of falling for jingo bullshit populism. Trump is another. Will we learn? Who knows, as the man said, the only thing we have learned from history is that we don't learn from history.

We just assumed you felt really really really strongly about it

and you washed her mouth out with soap?

So where were you back in the day? Bad-mouthing critics of these decisions as capitalist-hating commies would be my guess.

More Libbie nut cases. No wonder they fail so regularly.

Look at that, a fascist who claims he's not scrambling to defend the internment of the Japanese American in order to defend illegal deportations by a criminal President. How low can you go?

Did the vaxxines really save lives and end the pandemic? There is meager scientific evidence that vaxxines reduced c0v1d infections or deaths. To the contrary, there is abundance evidence that mass vaccination had only brief efficacy against c0v1d, including the now undeniable fact, summarized in the February issue of the European Journal of Epidemiology that "Countries with a higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COV-19 cases per 1 million people." Consistent with this now global problem, US deaths in 2022 were - after mass vaxxing - higher than they were in 2020, prior to vaxxing. Although the average death from c0v1d early in the pandemic was 82 (with 4 comorbidities), Aegon Insurance reported in 2021 a rise of 40% in deaths for people under 65, "the highest percentage in any quarter since the pandemic began." Because this truth has not been reported by corporate media, it's understandable that you might find it surprising or unbelievable. Nonetheless, it is true. And it's a global problem that is continuing. In addition to the charts below, S. Korea, Australia, Canada and the US all report similar statistics. The tendency of COV vaxxines to INCREASE illness and mortality is a predictable outcome of the well-documented phenomenon of vaccine induced "pathogenic priming". Pfizer’s own data, which they attempted to keep from the public for 75 years, suggests that for every COVID death that the vaccine averts, it will, over time, kill four additional people from cardiac arrest. This means that vaccinated individuals then become more likely to suffer from COVID infections, hospitalizations, and deaths than unvaccinated individuals. Which is exactly what the world's top epidemiologists, vaccinologists and immunologists were trying to warn about, but **THIS** guy shut them down: Anthony Fauci - June 9, 2021: "Attacks on me, are quite frankly, attacks on science. So if you are trying to get at me.....you are really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science." It should have troubled people that the US's leading public health technocrat would utter such a narcissistic and scientifically absurd statement. Compare that statement to the new NIH director, Dr. Jay Battacharya: "Science should be an engine for knowledge and freedom, not something that stands on top of society and says 'You must do this, or else!'"

that might be spies! OMG you are thick as a f*cking brick.

You're not serious, are you? I mean really not serious in that you can't be taken seriously. I've lost count of the times I've been called stupid names on here, "woketard" being the preferred by you guys. And PeePee's Cassandra act, parroting Trump, that Canada has been doomed to total destruction by Trudeau... not worth saying more about that. But you know what? You guys go ahead with your insulting accusation-confessions. It seems to give you some needed self-affirmation. I'm content. Hope you feel better.

If I didn't know better, I'd think this was some really clever self-parody on your part. Then I remembered that actually requires self-awareness, and cringed for you.

Stop making sense.
