Summary
Trump appointed Elon Musk, head of the DOGE, to investigate how a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing military operations in Yemen.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz admitted fault but could not explain how the contact was saved. Trump speculated that the journalist may have added himself.
The investigation will involve Musk’s technical team, the National Security Council, and White House lawyers.
A federal lawsuit challenges the use of Signal for government communication, alleging it violates federal law.
Trump speculated that the journalist may have added himself.
You can’t even do that on Signal! But MAGAts will eat it up and keep repeating it cuz of how dumb they are.
Ok let’s suppose you could though. Wouldn’t that make it EVEN MORE criminally negligent to discuss classified info there?
Right??? Like oh my actual god, if a journalist could do this (it’s completely, categorically impossible), then every nation-state on Earth would use it to trivially eavesdrop.
Yeah, this would make the story exponentially worse. It’d be like if you got caught cheating on your wife and went "whoa calm down! I didn’t know that woman, she just showed up to my Friday night gang bang unannounced!”
exactly. I use and love signal. its a fantastic privacy tool - seriously! but the amount of pure stupid on display by this administration is just too much to take.
With the MAGAts its best to imagine a very low bar, then lower that again by half the amount and thats where they are in terms of how dumb they are.
“Think of the most average person you know, and then realize that
half of all people are dumber than thatevery one of these morons has the collective IQ of a carrot.”
Why would they discuss classified military plans on an app where outsiders could just “add themselves”. That argument isn’t helping their case…
Nevermind. I need to stop thinking about things. The sheer stupidity hurts my brain.
We’re supposed to think “he (the journalist) is so bad and evil he hacked into the secure platform” — not that that helps their case either.
It seems like their best argument is that they are incredibly stupid, and a smart reporter took advantage of them.
@barneypiccolo @Bamboodpanda really gives you confidence that they all know what they’re doing in the databases to make sure “everything’s computer” in the federal agencies

《criminal mastermind journalist adds himself to confidential chat group》
I dare say I’m beginning to suspect this Trump fellow may not be as competent as he claims
No! Rilly?
“We have investigated ourselves and discovered nothing happened.”
Haha! WTF! It’s a group chat in a messaging app - not some super high tech hacking operation!
Considering what these people are like, it may very well be the entire dark net.
lmao what’s to investigate other than what dumb pieces of shit these are?
How about investigating why they were using signal and not all in prison for it.
They should have used something more secure, like an AOL chatroom. Or public IRC.
“Hey Mr. @BigBrain, can I have an @ on my user name too?”
@BigBrain “Sure!”
Just wait till Leon assigns Big Balls to the case – they’ll get to the bottom of this in a flash
“Elon Musk has offered to put his technical experts on this to figure out how this number was inadvertently added to the chat. Again, to take responsibility and ensure this can never happen again.”
Take responsibility? That would be unprecedented.

Its probably just pretext to arrest the editor, and charge him with treason .
We can all sleep better knowing Shitler is on the case.
This belongs in politicalmemes /s
Unrelated, though what’s with Musk, perhaps other MAGAts, wearing the MAGA hat like that in the thumbnail: barely touching their head, so much that a slight breeze would knock it off.
Is it some sort of literal ‘big brain’ show off thing?
Nah he just paid a lotta money to have that hair and doesn’t wanna crush it with that hat.
probably to hide his hair procedures, how botched it was.
‘first buddy’ ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮
He’s unqualified, but at this point I’m surprised they didn’t assign the case to a cactus named detective pokey.
