GOP Congressman Says the Info in the Leaked Signal Chat Clearly ‘Should Be Considered Classified’ — Amid Trump Admin Denials That it Was
There is no leak. This is clearly children playing with adult toys. They are out of their league.
These are absolutely adults. We need to get past the idea that "adults in the room" is a thing. Quite a few of our biggest businesses and public agencies are run by people exactly like this.
Then maybe we can stop with the Great Man Theory bullshit and start talking about re-democraticization to get the "adult toys" (high powered long range killing machines) out of the hands of fully matured drunks, ghouls, and sadist bigots.
Quite a few of our biggest businesses and public agencies are run by people exactly like this.
Exactly, there is always a throughline of "I make the rules here, why should I have to follow rules" because they erroneously think "being in charge" means no rules should apply to them. They literally don't understand things like security or why it matters and literally think it doesn't and shouldn't apply to them.
These are not clever people.
It wasn't "leaked."
A member of the press was included, so clearly it was meant as public information.
So the major question is what excuses will these GOPers give to avoid doing anything about this egregious security breach and the incompetence behind it.
Well at least this one speaks out, we should appreciate it while it still happens.
Not a leak. They invited The Atlantic Editor-In-Chief to their group text chat! He listened for a bit not sure if it was real or not before coming clean. And if the material being discussed should be "considered classified"... why the fuck were they discussing it on an app in an insecure manner in the first place!?
It's not an insecure app per se, but it is an uncontrolled app, in the context of an organisation's communication. Some of the GOP have tried to imply that it's the product that's at fault, but it's user error all the way.
Good point, I clarified.
Yes those details should clearly be considered classified and the people who exposed those details because of negligence, and willfully ignoring government policy should be removed from positions where they could cause farther harm, and brought to justice
They are gonna start their own app with backdoors and hookers!
