      We’re at the point where it’s necessary to check the source for everything, because it’s a 50/50 chance that any of this shit is satire.

        It was 50/50 about a year ago–feels much closer to 90/10 now if you ask me

    That didn’t happen.

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

    And if it is, that’s not my fault.<-- You are here

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

    And if I did, you deserved it

    Traffic (2000)

    You know, when they forced Khruschev out, he sat down and wrote two letters to his successor. He said - “When you get yourself into a situation you can’t get out of, open the first letter, and you’ll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can’t get out of, open the second letter”. Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - “Blame everything on me”. So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn’t get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - “Sit down, and write two letters”.

    From a movie and not real, but basically the playbook they’re using.

    It is the 41st Millennium.

    For more than a hundred centuries Donald Trump, the Emperor of America, has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Washington. He is the master of the US by the will of the nutjobs and master of a million tariffs by the might of his moronic followers. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Generative AI. He is the MAGA Lord of the vast Imperium of America for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die.

    Yet even in his deathless state, everything is still Joe Biden’s fault.

    … in the tenth decade of the MAGA Empire, a new political catastrophe occurs … as in previous occasions, Biden was again blamed for these problems.

      In the year six thousand and eighty eight since the flood the Free People wondered if they’d lived suitably MAGA to be redeemed from eternity in the domain of Biden, Lord of Evil.

    Did Biden explicitly prohibit drinking bleach and eating rusty nails? Because if not, go right ahead you incompetent fucking morons, bon appetit!

    Holy fuck. Because for some fucking reason, the goddamned director of the fucking central intelligence agency doesn’t fucking know that just because you’re able doesn’t mean you should.

    Never fucking mind also apparently just not fucking knowing about the JWICS that’s designed for this exact motherfucking purpose.

      The “feature” they are looking for is that it deletes itself, despite that also being illegal. They don’t want records of anything to last because when you are doing illegal stuff, records come back to bite you eventually.

      They are using exactly the right app for the features they want.

      The real app they are supposed to be using archives it like everything is legally supposed to be handled. For the express purpose of accountability and eventual transparency.

      They see that as waste.

      “Why do we need to spend all this money on custom coms gear, software, and standards when an off-the-shelf mobile phone bought from a rando retailer with unknown supply chain (likely manufactured in an adversarial country) and using a commercial app not vetted for sensitive government use is cheaper?”

    Why are they still doing what Biden says, didn’t he retire? Are they just following the orders of some random citizen? This just keeps getting worse.

    “We were not allowed to have any messaging apps on our work phones,” said one former top national security official on the condition of anonymity. “And under no circumstances were unclassified messaging apps allowed to be used for transmission of classified material. This is misdirection at its worst.”
