    I feel like I’m actually going crazy.

    I keep thinking this means they’re actively AVOIDING using proper channels- isn’t that- I mean- fuck I don’t wanna say it but I’m going to.

    Isn’t that- borderline treasonous?

    This cartoon should end at the first frame. But unfortunately we live in a genocidal empire, where genocide is so fully supported that people only get mad about leaking plans for genocide.

      I mean, fuck Hegseth in general, but the Houthis aren’t an ethnic group and are generally bad, being so oppositional to peace in Yemen historically and killing civilians.

        Yeah they aren’t good but also the main reason they ramped up their attacks against shipping in the region was in response to the US support of Israel after October 7th. I mean most of these groups in the region aren’t good but they get supported by the people as they’re seen as a strong opposition to the genocidal regime of Israel and America who are trying to kill them, displace them, and take their land. Sure they also get backed by Iran but without popular support in the region they wouldn’t have anywhere near as much reach and power as they do now.

      CNN reported that they literally did exactly that:
      As soon as bombs were falling, they cheered in the chat and have sent emoji for celebration

      It is hard to choose the right time.

      Either you are too early and you could have gotten more intel.

      Or you are too late and you could have prevented some fucked up shit by going public.

      You always loose.

    The funny part to me is the guy who got the texts thought it was AI spam at first because it’s just too stupid. It really is “who’s texting me?” for real.

    Another bit I think people are missing… Signal is not a government contracted app. They’re trying to avoid written records that can be FOIAed

      Oh it’s even better than that. They’re talking about State secrets outside approved channels. We have secure government communication channels. Random Signal chats aren’t it.

        All the people who were mad about Clinton’s email that aren’t furious about this are hypocrits that should never be taken seriously again.

          I’m way past the point of ever taking any republican voter or politician seriously again. They literally believe in nothing. They just parrot whatever they told to and say whatever they need to. Barely human shit.

          We keep hearing this and keep having to repeat: these fucks don’t give a shit about hypocracy so long as they get their way. They cannot be logic’d out of their shitty, racist views and will bull head-long into things till it fucks them over.

          Unfortunately, everyone who defended Clinton’s use of email is in a weaker position to complain about this. Cuts both ways

            Who the fuck are still talking about Clinton, let it rest man. Fuck that bitch, if she and Debbie Schultz hadn’t stolen the primary, Bernie would have just ended his second term.

            Fuck the bitch.

      More info

      There was another potential problem: Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.

      “Under the records laws applicable to the White House and federal agencies, all government employees are prohibited from using electronic-messaging applications such as Signal for official business, unless those messages are promptly forwarded or copied to an official government account,” Jason R. Baron, a professor at the University of Maryland and the former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration, told Harris.

        In this case, sending of Top Secret information reaches a much higher level of lawbreaking though.

        And everyone is entitled to their own opinions. How I deal with my coping mechanisms with all the crap that is happening in this world is little bit of dark humor. When it comes to higher echelons within the corrupt leaders in comparison to us the 99% out of 1%, they deserve to made of fun and be dragged against the dirt. And the meme never focused solely on the genocide of the innocent but it dug at the incompetence of Idiocracy of these morons.
