This admin's infosec is insanely bad. No better time to be a spy for a adversarial government than now, they're practically doing your job for you.

There's so many insane parts to this story, you really have to read this whole thing, holy shit

I like the part where they say they'll do it and extort Europe for it later

This story is blowing my mind. The “👊🇺🇸🔥” after dropping a bomb is actually insane

The disagreement I have with this thinking is that the government does have their own messaging system, and very strict rules/procedures around how these things are to be discussed. The problem is that the Trump admin, which is full of people with little to no govt experience, scoffs at these procedures and ignores them. They're also in the process of gutting agencies, crippling programs, and making the government run slower/worse for people that use govt services. So in many ways it's a self-fulfilled prophecy orchestrated by people who already have intense contempt for the government.

So the US government doesn't have their own special encrypted messaging system with the most advanced UFO sourced encryption tech imaginable....they are using Signal just like everyone else lmfao and they don't even know how to use it properly. And yet people still want the government to be in charge of their lives when they can't even handle keeping a secret. The state is bloated, corrupt, and incompetent it shouldn't be in charge of anything.

I take it back Pete hegseth bragging how he'll be sure to maintain 100% opsec is my favorite part

I like how at the end it sounds like any other group chat with all the thanking and emojis

This such a crazy story and so expected an outcome given the quality of people and level of intelligence involved in this administration.

“The only person to reply to the update from Hegseth was the person identified as the vice president. 'I will say a prayer for victory,' Vance wrote. (Two other users subsequently added prayer emoji.)” 😆

with this kinda incompetence, why bother with signal? just tweet it.

It reads like a bad screenplay! The emojis are killin me

Oh, haha... I just posted about this because I am absolutely shocked... I didn't even think to scroll through my timeline first.
