Didn't they try to charge Hilary Clinton for using an insecure private server?
This would matter if Republicans and their voters gave a shit about being hypocrites. That is not a new thing. Newt Gingrich went after Clinton for having an affair while he himself was having one for instance.
Gingrich was worse. His wife at the time had cancer and he served her divorce papers while in the hospital and then left her and their child pennyless.
Newt Gingrich went after Clinton for having an affair...
I don't want to disagree with your main point, I just want to say that this is a misstatement of what happened with Clinton. He was being sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones in civil court. He was impeached for lying under oath and obstruction during that investigation.
The hinky part of it is that Kenneth Starr was originally supposed to be investigating whether the Clintons had participated in fraudulent real estate dealings. When that investigation turned up nothing, he was directed to look into Clinton's testimony about his relationship with Lewinsky, which had nothing to do with the original investigation. It was a massive fishing expedition. At one point they had the FBI working with Lewinsky's friend to secretly record her talking about the relationship.
Didn’t they tank her presidential bid on this? How she was unprofessional and unfit for office for this? And his Perfect Ukraine Call, his hacked emails, his every other lapse of OPSEC or security clearance issues… weren’t disqualifying? Or was it just what she had in her pants, same with Kamala.
[This article reads like satire]
The one with Big Bird is backwards. I feel like the reporter was the only adult in the room.
These are golden, absolutely brilliant
Fascists are surprisingly bad at war.
They're bad at lots of things. Stupidity is a highly transferable skill.
#1 thing they are bad at: running a government. Kinda hard to when you don't actually believe in it. 🤷♀️
Fascism is literally all about doing what's best for the IN Crowd, in other words Cronyism, the very opposite of Merit.
If your selection criteria for people supposed to manage anything is who is mates with whom, what's their skin color, what's their gender and what's their sexual orientation, rather than, you know, managerial qualities, it's only natural that they suck at managing things.
Just a reminder that they chose to use Signal for a reason, and those are also reasons we normal citizens should use Signal too! At least try and talk your closest relatives into dumping WhatsApp for it.
Yeah, this article was truly a fascinating read! The one thing that surprised me from Goldberg though, was that he continually questioned their use of signal. I mean, why wouldn't they use it?
They could try to develop their own secure messaging app, but what would be the point of that when another already exists and they can verify the code is air tight because it's open source. And, developing their own app would mean the possibility of relying on software that could contain unknown bugs or vulnerabilities.
The only safe cryptographic systems are open source ones.
Because they did so to avoid official channels which get log and recorded. And yes, the Pentagon has their own apps, what do you think? Yes, using signal is INSANE
Your logic is valid for a small business - yes a SME doesn’t need to create their own messaging app, but this is the US government, they have the resources and need for their own. Further, commercial products controlled by outsiders can be compromised, and for state level targets it’s an issue to not control the communication through its whole journey.
Pete Hegseth is smart enough to use Signal, but not enough to not add Jack Daniels to the group chat.
I mean, signal literally has the same UI as whatsapp. My 87 year old grandma somewhat manages to use whatsapp.
“Powerful start”?
Of course.
This - the abhorrent security alone - should be like, 24/7 on every channel invasion of Iraq TV, but no.
To be fair, it's running at the top of BBC news here in the UK this morning which is kinda weird. They usually dunk stuff like this unless they too have some angle on it.
The Trump administration is so close to making the greatest post of all time on the War Thunder forums
Even my work has better OPSEC on a random stupid meeting with nothing interesting. They review every attendee to make sure no one unexpected is in the chat.
You actually can't make this shit up. WTF!
I wonder if there's a Simpson's episode on this or even an Onion article.
Post is constantly being deleted on Reddit. What is going on?
Yeah. Both on r/worldnews and r/europe. Not in smaller national subreddits though, where people are up in arms about the Europe comments. I don't understand why Reddit would seek to censor these leaks, as they are already disseminated across the MSM everywhere.
Social media companies just doing the bidding of their owners.
Usually it's due to many many many duplicate posts.
They’re just cunts.
Next week: the trump administration accidentally texted its war plans on my Minecraft server.
elect fucking russian idiots , be surprised about the results
Yo what the fuck
It's like an entire administration full of Rudy Giulianis. He had a history of butt-dialing and accidentally leaving unfortunate (for him) voice mails on reporter's phones.
Well, at least it encrypted, unlike trumps bathroom.
I think the screenshot removed your link?
Oh I think it did as well. Sorry about that!
I think I fixed it
Wow. Just wow.
