So the people who were obsessed with Hillary Clinton‘s emails will be largely silent about Pete Hegseth’s war plan group chat, which also involved a journalist?
@Strandjunker ... but it was end-to-end encrypted!!
@Strandjunker we are currently clean on opsec
@mwyman @Strandjunker
Exactly. JFC!
@Strandjunker well, we always fought for transparency in government decisions.
(I'm joking of course)
Yes. That goes without saying.
I have a theory that this is not even intentional (because: Who ever could handle this amount of cognitive dissonance while still conscious), but an indication that an insidious mutation of BSE is going around and has already infected the whole GOP over the last two decades.
@Strandjunker Fuck both the clintons--their sleazy corruption is why we're in this mess. But you're right--hell, the media seem to entirely ignore all those tornadoes. Gosh no prezdent visits. And no FEMA? who would know? or care? nobody.
@Strandjunker Of course, they don't care. It never was about the emails in the first place. It has always been about partisanship and nothing else.
Arguing with those folks is useless.
@Strandjunker should we talk about the fact that they planned an attack on Signal like if they were in an online call of duty lobby?
Also the “I’m so tired of bailing europe again” was the icing on the cake.
@void @Strandjunker <Ukraine entered the chat>
@Strandjunker on a platform, that is Russian (or used disproportionatly by Russians)
I mean...
First there was that discord bragging kid....this somehow is even worse
@girlnamedwar @Strandjunker I think you're confusing Signal with Telegram here.
@Strandjunker this comment on Lemmy said it better than I could:
This is one of those things where if the left had the capacity to practice messaging discipline and media coordination they could repeat everyday for the next two months with brutal consequences for the right-wing administration.
But this will be forgotten about by tomorrow
@maniajack @Strandjunker Well let's keep bringing it up anyway
@maniajack @Strandjunker
Broken any Operational Security 101 rules in the last hour, Defense Secretary Pete "Boozehound McRapey" Hegseth?
It's all fun and games until they get us into a real shooting war.

@Strandjunker
That is how "man in the middle" works, even with E2EE.
@Strandjunker It wasn´t his private server though .. ;)
@Strandjunker Correct.
@Strandjunker They will be as outraged about this as they were about boxes of classified documents piled up in a bathroom.
#uspol #trump
@Strandjunker Dying to hear what Hillary Clinton has to say about this shit
Not Hegseth's fault. He was likely intoxicated at the time. You can't expect him to remain sober under such stress, can you?
And, we cannot reasonably expect him to be careful with security and state secrets when drunk.
@Strandjunker guys with dicks can do what they like apparently
@tootbrute @Strandjunker *white guys
@tootbrute @Strandjunker LOL: "guys with dicks" ... Does Hegseth have one?
(There's a scene in the original Ghostbusters where Bill Murry says that some EPA guy doesn't have one - the audience typically laughs so I guess it is a good joke to repeat, even if more than a bit crude.)
Seriously, though, this is a serious security breach. Whoever set it up should be dinged with a security violation - too many and that guy should lose his clearance.
You know they will be!
@Strandjunker and it was on a commercial product! It’s not like there aren’t government secure comms!
@Strandjunker Hey I’m shocked it wasn’t an RT or TASS reporter, aren’t you?
@Strandjunker They care not a whit about hypocrisy when they're committing it
@Strandjunker As conservative, particularly far right politics are fundamentally built on treating people differently depending on their status, race, provenance, gender or other criteria, this should come as no surprise.
