They already decided what they’re gonna do about being caught using signal exclusively for communications:
Nothing.
The only way to respond is to blitzkrieg the media cycle and get them talking about something else outrageous.
Oh they’ll do something: They’ll try harder not to get caught.
Eh, mildly harder. It won’t matter if no one can do/does anything about it.
How to use Signal competently: ALCON - Report to a SCIF
How not to use Signal: I AM THE SCIF NOW
Couldn’t find a SCIF in Moscow.
What?
If this is the worst Pete can imagine, then he should be nowhere near Dem leadership because there are going to be much larger fuckups than this.
We need people who will do more than just react, especially when their reactions are just repeating public opinion.
And if you aren’t predicting what they’ll do next, all you’re doing is reacting.
because there are going to be much larger fuckups than this.
I’d prefer to not think about how you could get worst than this. Thanks.
I’d prefer to not think about how you could get worst than this. Thanks.
Seriously?
This was an accident, you can’t imagine they wouldn’t trade this kind of info for personal profit?
Like, they’ve done worse than this even in this situation. The attack was worse than how they planned it or that a journalist was added.
I swear people focus on the dumbest shit to be upset about
It’s exactly what fascists always try for, but they need a population willfully ignorant of history for it to work.
Which is why Republicans and neoliberals united for “no child left behind” decades ago, and today’s younger generations suffer from “brain rot” that shit was intentional.
Knowing that this administration is incompetent is enough for me. I’d prefer to not to spend the rest of these four years or god knows how long thinking about the consequences of their incompetence. Let me have some resemblance of peace.
Hate to break it to you but after these ‘lapses’ lead to a new 9/11 your government is going to blame it on Canada and invade. Your people will be on board and write country songs and have freedom gravy fries and nobody is going to stop them.
Millions are going to die because you think, as a culture, again, that you will steamroll. And after the cities are razed and as you guys are mining and pumping the ruins, a million Canadians will cross, with nothing left but hate, thousands of kilometres of open forest border into a world of lootable weapons, identical appearances, and immigrated guerrilla terror.
Which strawman are you yelling at in particular?
Highest level of fuckup imaginable so far…
This is right up there with Hillary’s hot take.
Also isn’t it in violation of the freedom of information act?
Imagine what the folks in Langley are thinking. The fucking Kremlin is proud of their orange fuck up.
In my heart I feel that there are yet higher levels of fuckup still to be scaled.
Basically, highest level of fsck imaginable SO FAR.
Except it’s not. It’s on purpose to avoid required record keeping and FOIA requests. Illegal as hell but here we are.
FOIA has nothing to do with this.
These are discussions of military operations and our relation to foreign nations. It would basically instantly be considered sensitive for quite some time. Think “years” and it would be pretty trivial to get that bumped up to decades.
This was solely about the convenience of not needing to use a VTC room or the fancy computer in their office (that they probably leave the door unlocked to but…) and possibly being able to show it to russia.
Read the story. Waltz set parts of the messages to be deleted after a certain time period. That by itself is illegal as hell and does indeed pertain to record keeping requirements and down the line FOIA requests.
At least Trump’s bathroom doesnt delete the documents.
