Ok, it may be breaking a law or two but, BUT, can any of you name a better way to get top secret and sensitive info to Russia in a quicker and easier way? Hmm, can you?
How about sending a delegation of senators and congresscritters to Russia on July 4th?
Arrest him, y'all bumblenuts!
I’m sure he’ll receive a gentle recommendation.
Medal of Freedom, obvs.
The Whitehouse has an unsecured Starlink connection on its roof. Why would Hegseths Signal surprise anyone.
I wonder if it's even plugged in. I mean it's just an Elon grift, who says he's even proving a service for his kickbacks?
What do you bet it's a Starlink based Internet connection
Somewhat of a click-bait headline and article.
By itself, Signal is one of the most secure communications software, it is encrypted point to point with a different cypher per message and the cyphers are already prepared to withstand quantum processing.
The issue is not Signal, is the fact this moron was circumventing security measures as member of the government.
They are more concerned about hiding from the american people and the other 2 branches of gov than any foriegn power.
Plus, Signal may be secure, but is the rest of his phone? What about the phones of the people he sends top secret battle plans to?
What else is this dumb ass running? Tik Tok? Temu?
Random journalists are the least of his worries. Hostile governments have got his communications before his phone has even had a chance to beep.
Well, the issue isn't Signal being bad, it's a government official who violates FOIA requirements because apparently what he says is too damning to be scrutinized.
Buttery males
I'm NOT Sexist and NOT Racist and I would Rather have a DRUNK WHITE MAN PUTTING OUR SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS and NATIONAL SECURITY at RISK then to have a BLACK or WOMAN ANYWHERE in the Military! I'm NOT Sexist or Racist!
i sometimes worry the newbs won't realize the joke, but i love you magat satire account
I know you are joking, but it's the real DEI.
You'll know it's true topsy-turvy world when the red state MAGA types start driving EVs and using encrypted messaging apps.
Why hasn’t he been fired yet?
There's a line for the cannons.
HA. As if anything works at all.
I heard Guard Lieutenant Secretary Hegseth wants cosmetics at the fucking Pentagon so he can be a pretty little bitch in TV lol
Might be good for the next person in that role, since it would not be at all surprising to see him chucked soon.
Huh, wait but why wasn't it okay for the Navy chiefs on the LCS Manchester to do the same thing?
Is he also a Russian asset?
I mean - just because he's doling out classified information into an unsecured line with his personal signal account in the most spied-on building in the most spied-on town in the world, I'd be surprised if he wasn't being passed around all the big dictatorships.
Like a broken slot machine, he just keeps paying out.
I mean he's a Republican so yes
Ok wow now that
That's a new level of stupid.
If anyone deserves to be sent to a gulag, it's douchebags like this one.
That doesn't make any sense
The purpose of using client side encryption is to make it so you dont have to trust the internet connection itself.
I wonder if his recent on-camera mania is booze fueled, panic as his life crumbles around him, or both.
That was a woman we are talking about. And a Democrat. Also, she was being trashed for decades up until that point by the orchestrated Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
So that's different. IOKIYAR.
The main reason for this is to avoid any digital paper trail. The whole thing is to do one thing: not leave anything that can be subpoenaed or have a FOIA filing against.
He is hiding what he is doing just like the rest of the trump regime.
