    Each individual piece is damning, let alone the whole thing.

    Using a random chat app for your war plans. Accidentally adding a random civilian. The bizarre rage over Europe. The intentional withholding of information from Trump by his cabinet and VP. The comment about how Trump’s actions do not align with his actual messaging, implying it’s just impulsive bullshit. The way Hegseth speaks like a drunken uncle on Facebook.

    Just traitorous dipshits the whole way down.

      Its not a random app. It has disappearing messages and is outside the other means of communication that are saved and documented. This is not the only chat group on Signal, I’d wager.

        exactly. signal was chosen precisely because it is widely considered to be secure and, more importantly, outside the purview of any mechanism which would hold them to account.

        This is not the only chat group on Signal, I’d wager.

        absolutely.

        still, this is a reasonable boost for signal and briar (or similar) as a backup.

            To be fair, it’s also not secure for the average consumer, if they accidentally add a journalist to their gc

            oh, agreed. these people should have been nowhere near it - as evidenced by their incredible fuckup.

            as an average consumer, and barring binary or device compromise, I do trust signal and a few others to traffic info that could incarcerate or worse.
