I agree that "heads should roll"...literally.

• Guillotines for a better America

And just like that, everyone has stopped talking about hillary clintons emails.

Make it happen Senate. It's literally your job. So fucking do it

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

Living in the imperial core where a chat error is far bigger scandal than a genocide.

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

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

But her emails!!!!

No heads will roll. What most stories miss is that the main reason they didn't use official channels for this (and most likely many of their other conversations as well) is that they don't want to comply with the Federal Records Act. They don't want there to be a record of a lot of the shit they're saying and doing and plan to do.

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.

Democrats..."Why I oughta...If I only...boy oh boy are you ever...sigh".

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

Hillary's emails.

"should" is the key word. Trump should be in prison but he's not.

The only person in real danger here is the journalist.

Uh oh, they're expressing outrage now. I'm sure someone will suffer.

Devil's Advocate Hot Take:

This is an expression of power. An intentional leak to show that "We get to break rules, and you cannot." We see it as incompetence and abject hypocrisy, but it could be a purposeful leak because they don't care about being seen as hypocrites, they are about showing us they can get away with it. It could also be a Trial Balloon about the kind of wars they intend to wage.

/takes off tinfoil hat

I really think they really are just this stupid, but I think its at least worthwhile to consider the alternative, because a lot of what conservatives do is about using hypocrisy as a weapon and expression of power over others. They want us getting angry about such things, so they can can be cool and collected and say that we're overreacting because they're so calm while chuckling and sneering at us.

"But her emails!" Yeah they don't actually give a shit, they may just want to show they can get away with it. Much like Trump rejecting using a government issued cell phone in his first term and Bush "losing" millions of emails.

Congress: Somebody should really do something to rein this administration in!

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.

The really sad thing is that in this scenario only Republicans matter. As long as they keep treating Trump as some kind of god-emperor, nothing will happen.

I was going to say "treating him as a king", but England and Canada have kings and would never put up with this kind of shit from a king. England hasn't put up with kings acting this way since the Magna Carta was signed.

Imagine that. You have unqualified amateurs in important government positions, and they don't know what they're doing.

From alcoholics, to heroin addicts, to ketamine fueled Nazis, the Trump administration is running like a well oiled crack addict machine.

SLAMMED

I agree with those who think nothing will happen. Screw ups are an everyday thing for these clowns.
