    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.

    If this were pitched as an SNL skit it would have been thrown out of the writers room for being too unbelievable.

    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.

    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.

    How is it possible that it took less than a day to add this, but when I add articles it takes months?

        But they don’t call each other it. It’s not like they even use it, we could change the meaning. Blacks should have pulled the uno reverse and started calling ex slave owners and confederates the N word. You can’t tell me that shit wouldn’t have been super effective. It would be like us calling white Christian natíonalists the f word. Take their power away. Love it or hate it, you know I’m right.

          Enough.

          Every single person in the group chat, minus the guy from the Atlantic, has done heinous degenerate treasonous shit and deserves to be called out for it. Use truth. Stop with the slurs.

            It doesn’t work. We need to start using hate my man. Truth serves no purpose when the people you use it against don’t believe in it. You have to HATE evil. I’m done.
