    In my heart I feel that there are yet higher levels of fuckup still to be scaled.

    Basically, highest level of fsck imaginable SO FAR.

    The ringleader, and President of the United States of America, is a convicted Rapist. They don’t give a fuck what you think about them, because you’ve proven that you’ll elect them anyways.

    Why would they care? Republicans went on tirades for like… 3 years about “Epstein lists!” even though we knew beyond all doubt that Trump was on those lists, but they somehow don’t think he’s a pedophile. We know Trump raped “Katie Johnson,” a 13 year old girl with Epstein. From his base? Crickets.

    They just plain don’t fucking care. They’re evil people masquerading as non-evil people.

    Say incompetence. INCOMPETENCE!

    They are scared you’ll see their incompetence. They don’t care if you see their f**k ups. They don’t care if you see their crimes. They don’t care if you see their evil.

    But they really don’t want you to think they’re incompetent. Which of course, they are.

    Every time they fire somebody and they have to rehire them. INCOMPETENCE

    Every time they say they’re going to do something and it doesn’t get done. INCOMPETENCE.

    Oh, believe me, their egos are so fragile, they will pitch a fit.

    Except it’s not. It’s on purpose to avoid required record keeping and FOIA requests. Illegal as hell but here we are.

      The fuck up they’re referring to is the fact that they accidentally exposed themselves using Signal in the first place.

      FOIA has nothing to do with this.

      These are discussions of military operations and our relation to foreign nations. It would basically instantly be considered sensitive for quite some time. Think “years” and it would be pretty trivial to get that bumped up to decades.

      This was solely about the convenience of not needing to use a VTC room or the fancy computer in their office (that they probably leave the door unlocked to but…) and possibly being able to show it to russia.

        Read the story. Waltz set parts of the messages to be deleted after a certain time period. That by itself is illegal as hell and does indeed pertain to record keeping requirements and down the line FOIA requests.

    “Fuckup” is an understatement… Inviting the journalist was a fuckup. Intentionally discussing classified information over an external app like Signal is “very fucking illegal”.

    They already decided what they’re gonna do about being caught using signal exclusively for communications:

    Nothing.

      The only way to respond is to blitzkrieg the media cycle and get them talking about something else outrageous.
