The Whitehouse has an unsecured Starlink connection on its roof. Why would Hegseths Signal surprise anyone.

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!

This is to bypass freedom of information laws and the record keeping it requires. This is straight up breaking the law.
If anyone deserves to be sent to a gulag, it's douchebags like this one.
The main reason for this is to avoid any digital paper trail. The whole thing is to do one thing: not leave anything that can be subpoenaed or have a FOIA filing against.
He is hiding what he is doing just like the rest of the trump regime.

This right here... 👆
What do you bet it's a Starlink based Internet connection
Instead of OPSEC, they have OPNOSEC.
Opsec? No we have !# Backdoor
OPSEC? More like NOPESEC!
It was right there, and I missed it.
It's ok, you're doing great
Thanks, Mom
Let's be honest here, yours makes more sense than mine!
Aaannd...
I believe it was Hagfish himself that declared (early in the conversation) "We are currently clean on OPSEC"...
And again, later in the convo: "But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100 percent OPSEC."...
WHEN HE WAS THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY SUBVERTED OPSEC BEFORE THE CHAT EVEN STARTED.
Fuck, this guy is as dumb a dumb ass as dumb asses get... 🙄 🤡 🤦♀️ 🖕 🖕
This is what happens when an idiotic washed-up game show host selects his cabinet from watching (actual) fake news outlets and thinking their hosts would be so totally awesome in their given roles....
I'm NOT Sexist and NOT Racist and I would Rather have a DRUNK WHITE MAN PUTTING OUR SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS and NATIONAL SECURITY at RISK then to have a BLACK or WOMAN ANYWHERE in the Military! I'm NOT Sexist or Racist!
I know you are joking, but it's the real DEI.
i sometimes worry the newbs won't realize the joke, but i love you magat satire account
Arrest him, y'all bumblenuts!
I’m sure he’ll receive a gentle recommendation.
Medal of Freedom, obvs.
Buttery males
Huh, wait but why wasn't it okay for the Navy chiefs on the LCS Manchester to do the same thing?
I heard Guard Lieutenant Secretary Hegseth wants cosmetics at the fucking Pentagon so he can be a pretty little bitch in TV lol
Might be good for the next person in that role, since it would not be at all surprising to see him chucked soon.
Why hasn’t he been fired yet?
HA. As if anything works at all.
There's a line for the cannons.
Is he also a Russian asset?
I mean he's a Republican so yes
I mean - just because he's doling out classified information into an unsecured line with his personal signal account in the most spied-on building in the most spied-on town in the world, I'd be surprised if he wasn't being passed around all the big dictatorships.
Like a broken slot machine, he just keeps paying out.
Ok wow now that
That's a new level of stupid.
BUTTERY MALES!!
That was a woman we are talking about. And a Democrat. Also, she was being trashed for decades up until that point by the orchestrated Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
So that's different. IOKIYAR.
