Dealing with the former at the moment & no one’s taking it seriously due to this double standard.

In many ways, Trump and the GOP profited off the inability of (and deliberate stonewalling of) the US to learn any lessons from the Enron fraud.

"The Enron fraud is a story of synergistic corruption. There are supposed to be checks and balances in the system: the lawyers are supposed to say no, the accountants are supposed to say no, the bankers are supposed to say no, but no one who was supposed to say no said no. They all took their share of the money and put it in their pockets."

Summary

Trump defended National Security Adviser Mike Waltz after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing Yemen military plans.

Trump dismissed the incident as a minor mistake, saying Waltz had “learned a lesson.”

Democrats criticized the security breach, demanding an investigation into the use of unapproved messaging apps for classified information.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House officials denied sharing classified material, calling the chat a “policy coordination” effort.

The government spent years probing allegations that a Dallas HOA created rules to kick poor Black people out and that Texas discriminated against minority residents in Houston after Hurricane Harvey, only to suddenly reverse course under Trump.

Original post text

Given the recent detainment of a French person who got detained because he said something bad about the current administration in his WhatsApp messages. It makes me wonder if WhatsApp is truly end to end encrypted as they claimed. How did they even single him out?

As a corollary question, if I were to pass Customs, and if I delete WhatsApp , Reddit etc just before I reach the counter, will they be able to find out that I just deleted the apps minutes ago? I’ll be deleting them from my phone but keep them on the cloud.

Clinton punctuated her reaction on the X platform with an eyes emoji and a link to an Atlantic article that revealed how Trump officials inadvertently broadcast plans of US airstrikes on Houthi rebels through a Signal group chat with a journalist reading along.

Trump and his supporters criticized her ruthlessly for her classified emails and private server use before and after he defeated her in the presidential election nine years earlier, even calling for her to be imprisoned.

Among them were some of the participants in the group chat reported on by the Atlantic: the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth; the secretary of state, Marco Rubio; the Central Intelligence Agency director, John Ratcliffe; and the national security adviser, Mike Waltz.

“If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now,” ex-Fox News host Hegseth said on his former network in 2016, as CNN showed in a montage which went viral Monday night.
