    which this is, and not ‘the context of the us government’… ya dingbat

    “in the context of US government documents”… ya dingbat. Living with functional illiteracy must be so difficult, but it understandably makes it really hard to just dip into an article and check the first paragraph before commenting.

    Anyway, I acknowledge now that Politico has used “sensitive” in place of “classified”. The point about that not being what “sensitive” means, however, is ancillary to the point that it is not hard at all to just check an article every once in a while, and it’s not journalists’ fault that you’re unwilling to do that. The headline got across its point fine. We’re not ten years old, and the news isn’t a TikTok feed. It took me 10 seconds to click the article and read just the first paragraph. I have really bad attention problems, and this is sad even to me.

      since you’re also apparently "too lazy to check linked sources:…

      here’s the screenshot of the politico article I linked:

      an article that’s about Kegseth’s signal leaks regarding the attacks against the Houthis that absolutely did contain classified information

      So you can argue that it should be that way all you want, but politico is the one you need to be arguing with. have fun with that.

        I hope you realize I said:

        The part about “functional illiteracy” was my way of trying to be a rude asshole, but now I’m actually concerned.
