Sometimes these jokes write themselves .

Rememberthat wholeSignal group chat where top-ranking US officials discussed “war” or “attack” plans on a non-secure non-government app?

Yeah, it wasn’t great!

So, Mike Waltz is/was the National Security Advisor, and he’s the one who actually invited the journalist into the chat.

He was the emoji guy:

He posted on X after the whole thing, admitting to, well, nothing.

So, he’s out. It wasannouncedthat Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, are leaving their posts.

As Anthony Scaramucci said, “Waltz lasts 9.2 Scaramuccis.”

One person with a very similar name I confuse him with all of the time has a viral tweet about the whole thing: Tim Walz.

Here’s Tim’s reaction:

I think this reaction is the only appropriate one to his:

Bye!
