    stop trying to divert attention from the issue at hand, the Trump admin invited a journalist to a public messaging platform discussing / disseminating classified data,

    according to this US ally

    in 2017, Obama and Hillary were private citizens

    Ohh **** - my Yahoo fantasy baseball group just got a bunch of information from Vance about settlement negotiations in Ukraine. I am guessing one of the Trump Cabinet must have been checking their fantasy rosters and forgot to change their browser.

    Anywho - I guess that Putin is getting Ukraine - but Tulsi is going to start Framber tonight on her fantasy team, so she has asked ICE is cool it tonight.

    (educational post)

    waltz already admitted he added goldberg you partisan hack.

    "A staffer wasn’t responsible,” he insisted. “I built the group… My job is to make sure everything’s coordinated.”

    as has been pointed out to yall multiple times, use of signal is not the issue here. aside from the issue that dumbass waltz included goldberg in the group, the problem was that they were using their personal phone numbers and unsecured personal devices. communicating over the public internet for communications that needed to be sent in a secure way.

    as i showed texxx in my above post, waltz is the only one taking accountability here, although he is still attacking the journalist and claiming he doesnt know him (even though he has his # and there are photos of them standing next to each other).

    the question that should also be raised is how many other times has this happened.

    This is a funny likely to highlight incompetence.

    But the media concentration on this story being the story of the century and not the abject facicsm and black bagging and kidnapping of humans by Federal fascist paramilitary units and shipped off to concentration camps is a significantly larger story and I'm confused why the media spends 20x more on this stupid flub by some frat bro DUI appointees?


    The media should spend more time talking about Pete Hegseth's white supremacist ideology.

    The real story of this isn't even the signal text leaks. It's the oppression of people in Yemen at the hands of the Saudi and US govt.

    Why are Americans so bad at prioritizing news?

    I don't think a pretzel is strong enough to describe the many ways this administration and their supporters are twisting them selves into attempting to downplay this utter stupidity and incompetence. It's really quite impressive. This could've been a 1-day story.

    The "gold standard" here refers to E2E (end-to-end encryption), not the gold standard for secure communication. E2E itself isn't sufficient; secure communication involves more than just using an E2E platform. Signal is a consumer-grade, open-source E2E chat platform.

    The problem is the use of an unapproved channel and process for secure communication. They also likely violated numerous federal laws in doing so. It’s really as simple as that. If you use an approved channel and process, you can't accidentally or unknowingly add unapproved people. The process helps minimize human errors.

    It would only be a 1-day story if someone was fired for their negligent criminality.

    Nay, it wouldn't be. The Dems and Never-Trumpers will continue to pound on this.

    But if they admit the mistake and work to rectify it quickly, people will move on. Instead, it's all politics and blame. This "the buck never stops here" mentality, combined with political games and finger-pointing, is dumbing down a good percentage of the population yet again. A dumber public yields a dumber nation, and that nation ends up voting in fools.

    Let's see what the investigation uncovers. But a little weasel like Goldberg and a Trump-hating (people with deep hatred) employee at Signal could easily send Goldberg an invite from Waltz' account. It's exactly the type of dishonest act that Democrats have no problem undertaking to smear Republicans. Look at the Russia hoax, look at Christine Blasey-Ford (Justice Kavanaugh), look at Jusse Smollett, look at E. Jean Carroll... the list goes on and on.

    Usually the Democrat supporters gobble up the cover story and take it at face value. It's the critical thinkers who pose problems for Democrats' acts of dishonesty.


    GOOD DAY

    Exactly, Goldberg should have immediately dropped himself from the communication chain once he realized he was added in error. His decision to stay was a very poor one. I hope he is prosecuted. And I want to find out how Goldberg was added -- I think there's more to that story.


    GOOD DAY
