  • This is assuming it wasn’t an intentional publicity stunt to generate sympathy for a raging narcissist during a struggling election campaign.

    I’m not one for most conspiracy theories, they’re usually clearly batshit, but that ear sure looked perfectly fine just days afterward, despite supposedly being struck by a round from an AR-15 style rifle. A staged event to create a “badass” photo op going against every action you’d expect from the Secret Service seems more likely honestly, especially from a President that cares about public perception more than anything in the world.




  • This right here is a perfect example of how misinformation spreads so easily, intentionally or not.

    Most people simply don’t pay much attention to details about things that aren’t directly affecting them. Signal and insecure were the things taken away from that debacle, not that it was entirely Hegseth that fucked up.

    Not that the issue boiled down to simply adding someone to a thread they shouldn’t have been in, which happens all the time to people with regular text messaging. We expect that government officials should be verifying what they’re doing when handling classified info. The fact it was a modified and insecure version of the app wasn’t actually part of the issue. And that Hegseth fucked it up a second time didn’t even register apparently.
