    Hey, remember when he used insecure Signal to communicate highly classified information? Whatever happened with that?

    No, really, why did that story fade?

      To clarify: Signal is secure as far as we know, but these fools used a Signal knockoff that is basically a very insecure wrapper around Signal that totally undermines it.

        I was actually surprised they were using it, because it keeps a record of communication (which the government officials are required to keep).

        So it was a weird mix of irresponsible and responsible behavior.

      Because Americans have brains roughly the size of hamsters so they can’t fit much else beyond Dancing With The Stars and Real Wives of Whatever in there at any given time.

      Also, we wake up to some new embarrassment from this administration every. single. day. So our timeline is pretty extreme right now.

        That’s right, jimmy! People easily forget due to Firehose tactics as well as Bread and Circuses.
