    This is to bypass freedom of information laws and the record keeping it requires. This is straight up breaking the law.

      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?

    The Whitehouse has an unsecured Starlink connection on its roof. Why would Hegseths Signal surprise anyone.

      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?

      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.

      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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
