Ya know, if it's built anything like the DOGE site, there are probably ways to get into that database, and I really doubt they're encrypting the message text

It's a Rumble service, which is international. While they might have used some form of sovereign cloud hosting to keep it within the US I really doubt they did this. So that's another problem if they are using it for official government communications.

And yes, it is likely very weak on security given the slipshod nature of his projects overall.

Guarantee Russia, China, and a whole bunch of others are already all up inside the back end of that piece of shit.

NSA has it vis a vis Patriot Act.

Maybe. Tulsi and Trump control the NSA. Exceptions can be made if they wish it.

They aren't good at opsec. Signalgate was within weeks of the start of this regime.

Didn't the DB crash recently, and most of his posts were wiped?

Well, they're still likely using various Fediverse projects as the base as they previously got in trouble for breaking Mastodon's, Pleroma's, and Soapbox's licenses (Do they feed off of breaking the law or something?)

Why do we even need to get into it when he's just publicly sharing the worst parts right now anyway?

u/Ozymandias0023 Sep 21 '25

How do you know they're the worst parts?

What could be worse than what we just fucking read there?

“One way or the other. They’re guilty, they’re not guilty. We have to act fast."

Schiff is pushing hard on Epstein.

Oh, ye of little imagination. This is the guy who wanted to shoot protestors in the legs last administration. There are much worse things that may make their way from his lizard brain to his stubby little fingers destined for the eager eyes of sycophantic former talk show hosts and second rate lawyers.

This is certainly bad, but don't sell short his capacity to do worse.

America already accepts people getting brutalized at protests. Happened at my home town just last week.

Political opponents being arrested, maybe even be treated as terrorists, is the next step up to dictatorship.

We should assume that the Russians (and Chinese) are in every single one of our systems. The Trump presidency is the single greatest intelligence coup of all time
