The guy who's schtick you've gobbled up is a midwit. Nothing but unfounded hyperbole and sensationalism. Guy is a hack...and he resonates with you. I'm shocked.
I’m not shocked by your lack of awareness of history, the modern world around, you and a well written screed on the topic.

Like I said…unassailable no matter how you try.

:lol:
Three times you've refused to defend other than obfuscation. You can admit the guy is a drama queen and why you lost this last election. The regurgitation of the same Leftist talking point doesn't gain credibility the more you post. Guys a hack and so are you for deflecting.

No, just a simple observation. FDR is the closest this country have ever come to being under authoritarian rule. Donks absolutely LOVE that wannabe dictator.

One thing this 'perfesser' and others who believe his nonsense fail to realize is in order for all of this subversive cloak and daggerism to take place it has to all be done behind closed doors in the dark of night. To his credit, I can't name a President who has ever been more transparent than Trump.

Transparent presidents don’t have cabinet members using Signal, especially with disappear/delete. They don’t fire Inspectors General. They don’t attempt to use war powers to conceal info when we’re not at war.

trump is no more transparent than Biden.

:rofl: The previous administration used Signal. It's approved by CISA. Once again, name me a government app that gives the same ease of use.

With Hillary, we saw how transparency of government communications work. For you to get your panties in a wad over Signal is peak lazy ass.

Hell, in the last administration, Austin was incapacitated and you didn't seem to care the Sec of Defense wasn't around and nobody knew.

While the Biden administration may have allowed some use of Signal — based on public guidance from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency — it explicitly did not allow use of Signal to communicate "non-public" Department of Defense information, which would have included the conversations Trump administration officials had in their group chat.

An anonymous former national security official told The Associated Press that those with permission to download Signal on their White House phones were "instructed to use the app sparingly." It was not possible to independently verify this claim, and it was unclear whether intelligence agencies aside from DOD and the cybersecurity agency issued policies or guidance about using Signal under the Biden administration.

What part of “trump is no more transparent than biden” do you not understand?

An administration justifying poor choices by saying the previous administration did it is beyond weak.

But thanks for helping demonstrate that the right and left are the same.

I'll ask a third time. What government apps were available that were as easy to use? It's not a matter of who used it first. It's a matter that the Signal app is far better than anything the government has.

Really? :lol:

I can't wait to see which is worse, Signalgate or J6. According to the clown I saw on CNN, this is the worst national security breach of our lifetimes. :rofl:

I know the struggle is real in Donkland, but going all in on something as insignificant as this is preposterous.

Sure. And you’d have the same take if it happened under a donk administration.

A few of many reasons.
Signal is an app anyone can download to their device, which encrypts messages to keep them secure. It's considered a go-to for the military, journalists, and privacy advocates but is not approved for classified conversations.

"It's wonderful for encrypting your communications, from the moment you hit send to the moment it hits the other guy's phone or laptop. The problem is, once it hits one while it's on your device, and when it gets to the other device, it's openly available. And so if those devices are compromised, you know, through some kind of hacking, through perhaps malware that was installed six months ago, through some kind of open surveillance, because the person may be using the phone out in an open public area, these are definitely, definitely concerns we would have about using that platform," Pfeiffer said.

Just one day before the strikes, the Defense Department warned staff that Russia was trying to hack Signal, raising serious concerns about security risks, according to a report from the Associated Press.
