Weird. Today Trump called #SignalGate "fake news."
1/
"Trump told Hegseth during recent call he did not approve of his texting info about airstrikes to a Signal group..describing what Hegseth had done as childish.. call ended Trump telling Hegseth to keep fighting"
Hegseth is an over-coiffed asshat.
Who behaves like a child playing war games.
And knows fvcking nothing about international relations.

@MalcolmNance We’ve seen these cement heads in the Army before. They call the Chair Force couch potatoes. They call the Navy squids.
He’d badmouth female helicopter CSAR pilots; until he needed one, then he’d say the DEI hires didn’t get there fast enough. Poser.
#PeteKegsBreath a DUI hire!
I like that in a couple of my private chat groups, the group name is “<name> PC small group”.

@SeanCasten Hegseth is a crypto bro so his mindset is inherently pretty limited.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the installation of Signal, a commercially available messaging app, on a desktop computer in his Pentagon office, said three people familiar with the matter.

"Between the lines: Signal isn't to blame for the federal government's operational security failures. But two encrypted communications companies told Axios they've had more customer calls and downloads since The Atlantic's first story about military strike leaks over Signal.
"It's definitely skyrocketed," Andersen said. "It definitely has accelerated interest and traction on a number of fronts, for sure."
Kibu came out of beta in January, and its user base is now projected to double this quarter compared with the first three months of the year, Andersen said. Kibu's users include small family financial wealth management offices, bigger financial institutions and privacy-minded individuals.
Jeff Halstead, founder of Genasys Connect, an encrypted communications tool popular with law enforcement, told Axios that after the initial stories, he had several conversations with law enforcement and city governments.
"They're all using Signal," he said."

Something tells me that #PeteHegseth termination letter is being written up right now. There's no coming back from #SignalGate 2.0, Petey boy.
@molly0xfff After #signalgate you might expect those goons to update their digital skils, but no.
