So, basically, he just admitted that the chat is not secure, even within the U.S.? Kind of confirms item 2 above, no? And worth repeating again that Walz said the journalist effectively hacked in by changing his screen name so he looked like someone else. Leaving that there's no evidence that happened, this is Mike Walz's own claim about how secure the chat was. He searched for someone by name only and added them to the chat... And he even thought that excuse was legit enough to play well on national TV! Giving out info on that basis alone could get you fired from high street retail.

nigel99 567 #29 April 11 Talking of apps. It occurred to me that in this escalating war between Trump and China they have the power to shut down Tictok in the US. I wonder how well US politicians would survive the barrage of complaints if that happened? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday, Trump signed ANOTHER EO allowing TikTOk to remain another 75 days. It's now China threatening to shut it down. Sounds like they might have read, "The Art of the Deal" also. It's like watching two men at the pub rub penis heads and the first one to smile loses. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve not heard that saying before! I wasn’t aware of the EO or that they have threatened to shut it down. The reality is they are highly unlikely to shut it down because just like Facebook and Twitter they get to harvest enormous amounts of user data and it’s a very effective disinformation tool. I’ve no doubt that their algorithms can promote material that undermines Trump. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But kids think it's cool, so let's allow it. Fucking unbelievable the ignorance that is AmeriKKKa. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It now turns out that Hegseth shared the same information at the same time on another group chat he started using his personal phone... with members of his family and friends. I look forward to hearing him explain how his own wife tricked him into inviting her into the Yemen Warplans Casual Group chat. "It's not my fault, she changed her screen name! I thought she was the babysitter..." Edited yesterday at 08:03 AM by jakee 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to tell my father why I did not appreciate working for DoD under this secretary (he was surprised when I didn't gleefully agree with him that Hegseth was a great SecDef). I told him Hegseth was woefully unqualified for the position. Looks like Secretary Kegstand is proving me right time and again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Hegseth, 2016, on Hillary Clinton using an unsecured email server: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts." So when will he be reporting to jail? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when will he be reporting to jail? Along the lines of “elect a clown and expect a circus” I don’t think it takes much thought to realise that a journalist/tv personality natural instinct is to “get the scoop” and share news. Honestly, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if there isn’t a signal group going with him and a couple of Fox News staff/Joe Rogan’s. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. This isn't the first - or second - time he's done this. It's just the second time he got caught. And it wouldn't at all suprise me to learn that one of the recepients is something like @JoeRogan (K Kilimnik.) But it's not his fault because the other guy lied about his name.

A common tactic cheaters use is to name a contact inauspiciously so John is really Susie from the pub. I’d imagine a republican who’s an anonymous source for the fake news might use the same tactic.
