“We are currently clean on OPSEC” I declare to my group chat as I disclose operational details of an in progress airstrike to a group chat on unsecured devices that includes a journalist.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

This right here? THIS is an attack, by the government, on your constitutional right to protest against oppression.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
