Which idiot created the title?
For anyone interested: there wasn't any Signal security failure, someone sent stuff via Signal to people they shouldn't have.

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!

Trump dismisses Signal security failure as ‘the only glitch in two months’
(www.theguardian.com)
The Guardian, reporting Trump's own words. So I guess ultimately the idiot that created the title is the idiot currently in charge.
Massive fucking OpSec failure. All on the nupties that Trump has hired to run his admin. And of course, the buck stops anywhere but at Mango Mussolini's desk.
Number of "glitches" during the Trump Administration: 1
Number of "glitches" during all other administrations combined: 0
This isn't exactly the stellar defense Trump thinks it is. It's like saying "The doctor isn't a quack. This is the only time he replaced a patient's heart with a baked potato in two months!"
Lock him up!
Lock him up!
Lock him---oh it doesn't matter when you do it.
I'm going to set fire to some electric cars and then in court my defense will be that it was my only glitch in decades /s

no it's not

that's still a big fucking glitch
He is not wrong. Because anything else that happened in the last two was a string of catastrophies.
You had one job, and still you managed to leak data through the most secure software on the planet. When’s he gonna start shouting out Hilary Clinton again?
The first glitch was him winning.
No, that was called cheating
I absolutely despise this timeline.
If he said it, then there have definitely been many more "glitches" prior; this is just the first one that became widely publicized.
This is up there with his "well-oiled machine" statement.
