    I feel like I’m actually going crazy.

    I keep thinking this means they’re actively AVOIDING using proper channels- isn’t that- I mean- fuck I don’t wanna say it but I’m going to.

    Isn’t that- borderline treasonous?

    This cartoon should end at the first frame. But unfortunately we live in a genocidal empire, where genocide is so fully supported that people only get mad about leaking plans for genocide.

    Another bit I think people are missing… Signal is not a government contracted app. They’re trying to avoid written records that can be FOIAed

      There was another potential problem: Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.

      “Under the records laws applicable to the White House and federal agencies, all government employees are prohibited from using electronic-messaging applications such as Signal for official business, unless those messages are promptly forwarded or copied to an official government account,” Jason R. Baron, a professor at the University of Maryland and the former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration, told Harris.

      Oh it’s even better than that. They’re talking about State secrets outside approved channels. We have secure government communication channels. Random Signal chats aren’t it.

        All the people who were mad about Clinton’s email that aren’t furious about this are hypocrits that should never be taken seriously again.
