Maybe a nothing burger, maybe not. But it is for sure fucking amateur hour dumbassery. And why was that journalists number in his contacts to begin with?
The only problem they see is that they got caught. Dumb mistake? Dumb people make dumb mistakes because they’re dumb. Smart people make dumb mistakes when they get caught. Just like when they say something stupid and claim they misspoke.
I don’t know how signal works, but it doesn’t look like the mistake cost any lives.

That’s a pretty low bar for ineptitude. From what I understand, Walz had to add the journalist to his contacts, just like any other messaging/texting app. I think he’s rat leaker.
That could very well be. As I stated in my post, this was clearly a dumb mistake, however it actually happened.
For a quick local update, my state representative in Augusta has followed up her tampons in the boy’s room legislation with a magazine ban on anything over 10 rounds. She literally lives a 3 minute walk from me but I’m not a Socialist nitwit who will use my time to make her life as bad as I can.
She just gets letters that she likely throws in the trash as soon as she sees my name, fully convinced I’m a white supremacist.
Maybe, but weren’t these guys all up in arms about Hitllery Clinton’s use of her private email server, back when she was Obama’s Secretary of State?

I’m not sure the situations are entirely equivalent. Signal is or was an approved method of communication in the government at some point. I haven’t looked into all those details.
As a team building chat room, I see no problem with it in principle as long as nobody’s being stupid with it, like the government just was.
Official communication and anything classified shouldn’t ever happen on it. Emoji and fist bump kind of stuff is no different than a verbal chat, both disappearing into the ether unless someone is recording it somehow
And 4 people died in Libya
But did they die because she used a private email server?
From what I recall they died because Secretary Clinton was neglecting their situation.
Email is orders of magnitude less secure than the Signal app, and was expressly forbidden to use the way she did.

We used it on SWAT for encrypted messages that disappear after so many hours or days.

Shit on her lawn
Nothing I can do to her would be worse than the young Somalian man in a red MAGA hat who I occasionally see walking down my rep’s street.
Maine Democrats can’t import new voters anymore, and they are losing the ones they had in droves.
Lesbians are another group who are wising up. The whole men in women’s sports is deeply unpopular.
Considering the effort to get and celebration over Title IX, I cannot see how any woman would rest a moment until that had ceased.

Keeping women’s spaces exclusive to women is extremely popular in Maine, as is Voter ID.
It makes a lot more sense for Democrats to doggedly support their unpopular policies when you understand that they are two of the only long term prospects they have to continue the wealth extraction scheme of Democratic Socialism.
I cannot overstate how crucial the Trump win was for Maine. I firmly believe four more years of open borders would have completed the takeover in Maine, resulting in a de facto single party state.
The leak is embarrassing. At the same time, it’s nice to know that the Vice President isn’t actively Trying to drive oil prices up.
Semantics, but this seems more like a security breach than a leak; in which case it’s fortunate that contrary to the headline of “war plans”, the info “leaked” was relatively benign.
At least we know that Trump’s appointees are actually working for Trump vs pulling “A Milley”…
I seize myself regularly and feel empowered for about 12 seconds, then it takes a bit before I’m ready to get all uppity about seizing production again.

With respect to the security lapse, the harm done was minimal, thankfully.
The problem is that every single one of these fuckers KNEW they cannot do this, but they did it anyways.
I work on classified servers every single day. I am VERY careful of what I do on my low side versus my high side, because I know I’ll get fired and likely see the inside of a jail cell for 10 years if I spread classified information.
The people using an app to discuss classified information clearly do not have the same fear.
Its the callousness of these people that bothers me… they wouldn’t get punished because they’re privileged whereas I am not.
Rules for thee but not for mee needs to stop, regardless of the offending party.

I don’t know the security or encryption reqirements for communication devices, but who ever put that douchebag on their group chat needs fired and branded with a capital T for traitor on his forehead.
Hopefully some leftoids will mistake its meaning and think he’s a Tesla and set him on fire.
