He’s clearly one of those “I don’t care who you are, you can’t tell ME what to do” types that has NO business being in any position of power.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He fits right in with the current administration. 🤦♂️
That's a basic qualification in the Trump administration.
Hmmm, maybe he's a traitor?
This man is the perfect DUI hire who is a gift that keeps on giving.
Roughly as competent as the other clowns, Sieg Heiling Space Karen and Felon Drink Bleach.
This man is the perfect DUI hire…
I was tempted to correct you (DEI), but you’re still correct with this acronym.
The joke is that we’ve swapped DEI for DUI
Well the joke is the Administration and the supporters. The rest writes itself.
Man. Fat lot of good all that military equipment does if we have this guy drunkenly wrapping it around trees and stepping away unscathed.
Edit: I wonder if this is all an attempt to discredit Signal. My brother refused to use Signal at first because "isn't that what the idiots in government are using?" Its really hard to explain that signal prevents the message between two clients from being read, not who has access to the clients. Then I had to explain to him that no, a client isn't a paying customer of Signal.
One thing is clear, they have no idea what all the fuss is about.
-gate is the suffix for scandals.
-a-Lago is the suffix for stupid scandals.
This scandal should be labelled as Sig-na-Lago.
Signa balls
Lol gottem
I wonder who has privileges to install apps on office PCs in the military. Does every high level appointee have the ability to install any app the find online.
Gotta love user-mode installers… let alone portable apps.
God i hate these things. And that windows is set up to allow it.
None of that shit gets patched, ever, it just sits in Appdata and rots.
To be fair, a lot of Linux apps also do similar things and ~/.local is a similar swamp.
You can still block it. It's literally secops 101...any EDR worth a fuck can do this.
The issue is...the people running this shit show, usual are bottom of the barrel because those who know what the fuck they're doing go private because it actually pays what they're worth.
I've worked with plenty who come out of the 3 letter agencies and they're usually ignorant to the real world.
I was wondering why the traffic wasn't blocked too.
Everything is so fuckin Silo'd nobody knows a damn thing. I can't wait to not be in fed IT so i can actually learn things that are worth a damn, and not be held down by the unwillingness of the government to use modern tools.
I suppose. I would have assumed that the pentagon would have methods that nerf the user to only install preaproved apps.
I hope the IT guys who set it up kept their work orders.
If your boss orders you to do something stupid, you get that shit in writing
Part of the installation requires you to scan a QR with your phone. Anyone care to ask him how he did that?
Can you print the qr or take a photo of it and then scan when ypu have signal?
If I remember correctly it's dynamic
Wow a scandal. This will surely defeat fascism. \s
