Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of “Skid Mark of the Week,” featuring none other than Pete Hegseth, who’s turned national security into something you wouldn’t trust with your Netflix password.
So, here’s the scoop: Pete Hegseth and his elite crew decided to hash out a top-secret plan to bomb Yemen, because obviously, the best place for classified military discussions is… a Signal group chat. And guess who got a VIP invite? Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. No accident here—someone actually added him to the chat. It’s like accidentally CC’ing your boss on an email complaining about your job.
Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me? The Government Sent Its War Plans… to a Journalist? On Signal?
Now, while Mike Walz—yes, a member of the GOP with a conscience—stepped up to take the blame, Pete was playing a masterful game of ‘not it.’ His level of responsibility is like me saying I’ll go to the gym tomorrow. We all know that’s not happening.
And throughout this whole fiasco, Pete’s strategy was to basically do a magic trick: now you see responsibility, now you don’t. He’s dodging accountability like it’s a dodgeball game, and he’s the only one with a ball.
To wrap this up, in an administration where the bar for scandal is set astronomically high, Pete Hegseth has soared right over it, turning the Department of Defense into the Department of Oops. Pete, for your outstanding ability to turn a crisis into a circus, you’ve earned the title: Skid Mark of the Week. Take a bow, Pete, you’ve made incompetence an art form.
