The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does #POSIWID

Perhaps using the Signal app and allowing this thread to leak was not an accident.

1. They let us know that US rules about documents don't govern them.

2. They let us know that getting caught planning war crimes doesn't trouble them.

3. They work for Putin so low morale of US military not an issue.

4. Now hackers know where to look for US military plans.

They ( GOP, republicans, conservatives) are being careless with every bodies life. Think about the people in the apartment building they bombed, the kids getting measles in the midwest, the people expecting our food to be safe and inspected. Students expecting to get an education.
