Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

I just read an article about how the Pentagon sent out a message just last week advising their staff not to use apps like Signal. How did Hegseth NOT get that memo? Unless... he deliberately used it so someone else could access it?

A Pentagon-wide email recently went out warning about Signal's vulnerability

Signal was implemented by the Biden administration.

NPR.... lulz.

Speaking of NPR/PBS or any other media that receives funds from our government.. that should be some of the very first budget cuts immediately.

This isn't 1970 anymore.

No, NPR said it so I read it with complete skepticism.

Defund NPR.

Correct. The 1970s were a time of high inflation, supply chain disruptions, economic instability and radical political upheaval.

Sounds like 2021-2024

Just like the 70's, we got through it.

Be honest, Back. Do you really care about this whole Signal thing, or are you blowing it out of proportion because you are so desperate to cling to something to be like "OMG! Trump sucks!"

Because really it's looking pathetic.

I could understand if this resulted in a mission failing or ended up getting someone killed, but as far as we know none of that happened. So this was a mistake that didn't have any effect on literally anything.

If this affects the way you vote even a slightest bit then most likely your opinion doesn't matter anyways.

When pressed by the “The Ingraham Angle” host on why Goldberg’s number was on his phone to begin with, the White House official claimed he didn’t know.

“Have you ever had somebody’s contact that shows their name and then you have somebody else’s number there?” Waltz began.

“So, of course I didn’t see this loser in the group,” he continued, referring to Goldberg, who is viewed by many as an antagonist of Trump. “It looked like someone else.

“Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened by some other technical means is something we’re trying to figure out.”

He's just making it worse! Why didn't he just say something like this.. "I made a mistake. I'm sorry. Luckily, no harm was done, other than my embarrassment. We have taken steps to ensure it never happens again."

By attacking the journalist, who appears to have behaved more responsibly and honorably than any other participant in the chat group, Waltz is ensuring that the controversy continues.

This part is ridiculous.. "Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name and then you have somebody else's number there?"
