As you know, the big news this week is that what passes for the best and brightest in our kakistocracy not only discussed operational plans for the US military to attack Houthi targets in Yemen a couple of weeks ago over the unclassified and insecure Signal platform, but they included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic in the group chat, thus providing their very own really big security breach.
This prompted Signal's founder (and former Twitter head of cybersecurity) to tweet:
In the 1940s, the Allies kept operational
details of Operation Overlord secret for 18 months, thus surprising the hell
out of the Germans with the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. But the vice
president, national security adviser, secretaries of defense and state, White
House chief of staff and CIA director happily blurbled and emojii’d their way
through the attack planning and execution process for several days without checking who was on
the group chat list.
Also—one of the members was actually in
Moscow for part of this time, where we can be assured that his devices were
monitored and the unsecured chat was greatly appreciated.
The rest of the week was them coming up with
a whole flock of (different) lies (including while testifying before Congress) about what happened and elected Republicans assuring us that it’s a big nothingburger, happens all the time, what
about her emails!
Well—this being the case, the only earworm
we can have today is “Chain of Fools”, and who else to sing it but Aretha.
That women knew her fools.
