BrianKrebsLet's be honest: Haven't we all at one point drunk texted a reporter an invitation to discuss plans for an upcoming military attack? Something tells me Hegseth will be hitting the sauce pretty hard tonight.
Steve Bellovin@briankrebs The story would have been much more believable in that sense if it had been Hegseth who first invited the journalist…
pkprotoplasm (MOVED)@briankrebs there was this one time I texted a girl my plans to nuke something.
Granted, it was a Hot Pocket…
NewkMan... the number of times they tried to invite me to play wordle with them...

While dropping something into a woman’s drink, like he’s done before?

Miles Offit... 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦@briankrebs @fsinn Hopefully the sauce hits back.
T2R@briankrebs What do you mean by "Will be"? Isn't he always "hitting the sauce pretty hard"?
VessOnSecurity@briankrebs Not me. I never discuss my plans for a military attack on another country with *anyone*. I do feel that I need a drink right now, though.
Oggie@briankrebs
But he said he would never drink again if he got into the cabinet! I'm sure he wouldn't lie!
God he's just so...insultingly unqualified.
Karen E. Lund 💙💛@Oggie @briankrebs When his nomination was confirmed he got confused and thought he'd been admitted to the liquor cabinet.
Which, one must admit, is a position he is eminently qualified for.
Ian@briankrebs The DoD needs a DD.
Reay@briankrebs … then I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s headlines.

adison verlice@briankrebs oh boy yeah man. I don't work for the military but i've definitely drunk texted someone and said hey yo, we're going to the bar, meet me there and we will plan bomb attacks. we're gonna get drunk and send them off.
just make sure to not hit the button too soon dood...

Ryan Singel@briankrebs
What I'm wondering is who did Waltz *think* he was adding to the chat?
Also what is the name on Goldberg's account?
MostlyBlindGamer@ryansingel @briankrebs just “JG” which would fit the posture of other people on that group chat.

Mark T. Tomczak@briankrebs A robot can never drunk text an invitation to discuss plans for a military attack; therefore a robot can never be put in charge of military planning.
@mark @briankrebs Cue the droids
sheislaurence@briankrebs i don't think he will. Everybody will cover his arse and this is the new norm, all they're gonna do is their evening prayer, kiss the kids goodnight and then visit the prostitutes. OR something like that. In any case, I don't expect *any* sane response to this, this is #posttruth #postnormality #postsanity, until *we* stop it.
Matt HallI mean...
Hang on...
Are you saying there's a chance he's been sober sometime in the last three months?
Mike (no not that one)@401matthall @briankrebs Probably not. But this particular bender has had. Consequences. Well, unintended consequences. But really, who an tell them apart.
Piiieps & Brummm@briankrebs
Non-native speaker here.
Is "hitting the sauce" an euphemism like "slightly intoxicated"? Or more precise the process getting from sober to "totally pissed"?
You know, they don't teach real English at school. :-)
@PiiiepsBrummm @briankrebs Hitting the sauce is a euphemism for drinking heavily, as in binge drinking or just drinking to full intoxication. There doesn't have to be any other context.
It really just means "he/she drank a lot"

Life's details 🔎@mikey @PiiiepsBrummm @briankrebs
It sounded to me like he was going to have inappropriate relations with sauce
But apparently it's about alcohol
Trump may think he's king but the emperor's last name is Walker
@mikey @PiiiepsBrummm Sorry. Yes, it means to basically get shitfaced as quickly as possible.
@briankrebs it's what you might expect from a DUI hire...
ck@briankrebs as opposed to any other night? rofl
@briankrebs SIGNAL -> Sent Invite Got New Army Leak
@briankrebs Not to mention that editor at the Atlantic, who's gonna be snockered for the next two weeks, what with so many people buying him a drink.
Yes, that includes people who accidentally invite him to the company happy hour via group chat.
Unixorn - 90% Snark by weight@briankrebs That's what Trump gets for picking a DUI hire for SecDef
@briankrebs I thought I read somewhere (who knows if it's true tbh) that he was offered the job if he promised to stop drinking.

What are we doing tomorrow, Brainless?
DT: The same thing we do every night, Stinky, trying to give the world to Putin.

Steff 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈@briankrebs 1) I imagine all the other more sketchy chat groups these people could have added Goldberg to 2) I take some slight solid in the fact it wasn't a Telegram group
