I was going to write about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth discussing war plans in a group chat, and inadvertently including a journalist in said chat, but this current administration is so mind-numbingly fucking stupid that writing about them too much damages the soul. A GROUP chat. Location data showed that one of the members of the chat was in Russia at the time, where he was meeting with Putin. I’m sure there’s nothing to that, eh? Even Republicans on Capitol Hill are having a hard time hiding their WTAF faces after this one. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is laughing so hard she can’t get rid of the hiccups.

What the hell. The soul is overrated. Other than Florida considering undoing child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by suddenly deported immigrants, what else is there to write about? Drunk Pete it is!

I have a current group chat with 3 guys that deals with all things sports. Lots of dinging and buzzing during March Madness. It’s the same phone that reminds me when I have a dentist appointment. At this point I think America should collective block Hegseth’s phone # to avoid future subpoenas. If he can do something like this, imagine the dick pics going awry?

What next? Every time the guy is deep into a Miller-Lite 12-pack Carrier Strike Group 5 has to go on high alert?
