minus-square@randon31415@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink55•22 days agoWhy did you fire your aids, Hegseth? Because they leaked the batshit insane plan to invade Panama. How did you figure that out? I wiretaped them through the NSA. That’s illegal Hegseth! Ok, I didn’t wiretap them. I just didn’t like them. They didn’t get along with my cheif of staff. Then just say that! You have the power to fire people you don’t like without both confirming a leak and admitting to a federal crime! Well, to be fair, I was also drunk…
