Not: Fist-bump about the burning flag?
fisting the flagβs ring of fire
American Conservatives in 2015: "Wikileaks is the greatest threat to domestic security! They'll destroy our reputation at home and threaten the safety of our brave men and women fighting abroad! Edward Snowden and Julian Assange and Reality Winner should be executed for high treason!"
American Conservatives in 2025: "Actually, it is incredibly cool to post Collateral Murder videos to the public group chat."
What a pathetic, limped dicked circlejerk. "Look Europe, we're destabilizing the Middle East so that we can bring down oil prices for us, why aren't you guys gargling our cum?". Fuck those morons and fuck whoever voted for them.
That's pretty good. Someone needs to go through and add a bunch of citations, though. Wikipedia standards and all.
Kudos to the Wikipedia editors.
53 people were killed.
None of the right ones though.
Did you mean: ππΊπΈπ₯
These text messages are super cringe and so unprofessional.
If this were pitched as an SNL skit it would have been thrown out of the writers room for being too unbelievable.
Fiction has to seem plausible, rational even. Though, reality is anything but.
What a joke
The question is: Can the US government actually do something about this? The journalist had been invited, and probably no-one had reiterated to the group that the contents are top secret.
They are supposed to have rigorous, thorough training about what types of channels are considered secure and legal, and which types of communications are secret, top secret, confidential, etc.
Discussing war plans is top secret and if the highest ranking members of our military don't understand that, we are all fucked. The thing is, they do know that, but they are obviously choosing to communicate on Signal so that all of their communications are off the record and undiscoverable, which is another primary reason that what they are doing is illegal and immoral.
This is "proud boys"-level OPSEC π
It's interesting to see that these morons have bought into their own bullshit. The hypothetically smarter GOP politicians at least know that they're disingenuous bastards. These idiot sticks are actually this stupid.
How is it possible that it took less than a day to add this, but when I add articles it takes months?
Once you hit a certain threshold of account age/edit count, you don't have to go through the draft submission process, you can just add an article to mainspace. That said, unless you know what you're doing with writing an article, it'll probably get moved back to draftspace.
Thank you for a proper explanation π
Its highly topical, so it could have been prioritised.
Notability?
I think you know why
