Is that because Signal is as good or because they refuse to listen to anyone telling them to stop using it? Not a serious question, I know it'll be a decade or three before it can be answered from open sources.

But of course I forgot, it wasn't really even Signal they were using...

> they refuse to listen to anyone telling them to stop using it

That's one of the reasons, yes. Their whole MO is "we have power, we are not accountable to anyone, fuck you"

It’s more that they’re morons. Like, Hegseth is not a smart man. Walz, Nunes, Loomer, Noem—these people were chosen for loyalty. Not brains.

Morons with absolute power.

47 wanted Yes men, not expert advisors.

Who cares about laws if you stack the court and they give you complete immunity for actions you, and only you, decide are official or not?

Who cares about competency when your boss will make all decisions for you, regardless of their expertise?

"'In the end?' Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."

That’s more about officials acting illegally avoiding accountability by shielding their communications from their government. (Of course there’s probably a backlog of foreign governments on those devices.)
