Let's be clear: deciding to NOT defend the American people against inimical Chinese cyberattacks comes right after the GOP in 2025 already decided to stop defending the American people against Russian cyberattacks, and dismantled that task force too.
All the unnecessary wars already proved that Democrats are SO much more competent and care so much more, when it comes to issues of defense and the military.
But this time, a neofascist GOP is literally handing over the US' security to Russia and China on a platter.
That's not being "weak" on defense. It's deliberately BETRAYING the American people.
DT has done this over and over - gutting the very agencies that have saved his butt and are safeguarding the nation. DT votes by mail, uses security to evade the assassins' bullets, throws our leadership-gutted military around like they're the food he throws on the White House walls, eats food that used to be protected for us by federal watchdogs and for him still is, etc. Thank you for alerting us to yet another to add to the list. VOTE! Protect, Encourage, Expand
REPUBLICANS are doing this while Trump tweets and golfs and gets rich on criminal cryptocurrency deals!
Stop your TDS and finally recognize how it's the GOP that is deliberately undermining US security. And that's after dragging the American people into wars again and again - endless wars, as the war in Iran already is too.
While it *IS* the Republican cult that's enabling all of this, without PedoPINO Trump as their God-King at the helm, this evil confederation of pedos, bigots, misogynists, conspiracy wackadoodles, science-deniers and Constitution-haters would implode as the hate PedoPINO focuses for them on "the other" instead turned to their fellow Republicans (look what happened with CKirk and the division his death and posthumous worship caused for the RepubliPedoCult. We may see something similar as podcaster/grifter parasites begin fleeing like rats from the sinking Republican cult ship.)
1. the GOP leadership and their ultrawealthy donors
2. those brainwashed by decades of GOP propaganda (= GOP voters)
3. Trump.
It's to make sure that the GOP voter base has no idea of what's going on in the country and inside the GOP that the GOP hired Trump as their distractor in chief, so that they can quietly install fascism day by day.
While I agree that PedoPINO is not nearly intelligent or diligent enough to orchestrate all of this, he is the lynchpin that holds the cult together. My hope is that once we have a legitimate government again, we can follow the threads tied to him to unravel how the corruption is funded and WHO is doing the funding; then expose and prosecute them.
But I agree: this is part of a larger campaign to destroy our Constitution-based democracy and install a PlutoPedoKleptocracy.
Having been in hi-tech for over 40 years with three, global, cutting edge companies: Digital Equipment Corporation, BBN Technologies and APC (Schneider Electric), it blows me away to think how stupid this administration is regarding cyber security - or any security for that matter. Knuckleheads! All knuckleheads.
Ida , it seems that he likes this type of thing. They stopped the cyber leak..so we have no more so get rid of the people who did it, their work is done. We don't have anymore measles, polio..lets stop all the vaccines now.. our foods are safe so we can stop watching our health procedures. He will be the death of us all. I know that it will change as soon as the votes, midterm come in!
I'm telling you guys and gals that Agent 🍊 is truly a traitor and/or a Russian/Chinese/Saudi/Israeli/you name it agent--he has been compromised by any person or country willing to give him the trinkets and the empty words of praise that he clearly is desperate to hear. God help us all and God bless America and all other democracies (actual and aspiring to be).
Hi, Ellen. Trump is incompetent, but what a perfect disguise for the Project 2025 guys who are making the real decisions behind the scenes. In short, I think there's method behind the madness. And we simply *must* get Dems in control of at least one Congressional chamber, or we'll never get to the bottom of this or stop it.
Incompetent--that goes with out saying. There is a level of cynical, malevolent nihilism that is more sinister than simple incompetence. He is so flipping needy for affirmation that he does not care who is pulling his strings. Very scary!!
This should be handled as a hair-on-fire emergency by Congress. Instead, we get mostly silent acquiescence by the GOP majorities. As much as the regime screams about the need to secure our physical borders, our vital digital assets are exposed to plunder and, in the case of critical utilities, to sabotage. The amount of damage that can be done to the nation by cyberattacks makes the immigrant problem a comparatively minor issue. [edit]
Excellent point. Trump sics ICE on the brown-skinned men offering Home Depot customers their day labor, while cyber-attackers invade crucial infrastructure out of sight, out of mind.
The villainy of this scoundrel and his minions knows no bounds. He lost the 2020 election fair and square and he fires the messenger who proved it. And the messenger's job is to keep our country safe. I've said it before: I think this monster would only be happy by burning it all down.
That's right Steve. This is disgusting to no end. Why doesn't he just give them all of our passwords and back-ups. Good God Almighty. He IS trying to burn it all down. Traitors. That is the only word for it. These enabling Republicans are helping him do it. I can't believe I woke up to this, this morning. Whatever. ZERO them out and lock them up. They are SO infuriating. How much more proof do we need for God's sake? I knew this kind of thing would happen when I watched those kids with laptops go into the Social Security Administration. Everyone be sure to watch your systems like a hawk. I have been already. OMG.
Well, I would say that fascism, as an ideology, is quite smart. That's why it is so dangerous. Fascism is only "stupid" from the perspective of democracy, but in and of itself, it's a solid ideology that is continuing for more than a century already, so we better try to understand its logic if we want to truly defeat it, rather than assuming that there is none.
This is why hiring Trump as their clown in chief is such a smart idea. HE often behaves in a truly stupid way, so as long as he can distract us all, we won't begin to seriously debate what is ACTUALLY going on inside the GOP.
Nominate a clown and criminal as your presidential candidate, and you show the entire world that you have officially become a criminal, utterly dangerous political party.
Yes people need to face that. It is so awful that people do not want to believe it. Excuse after excuse. Soon, there will not be anything left to defend. Break the glass for God's sake and get out the firehose. I do not know what it will take to wake up those damn zombies, but they had better get a grip or it is going to be over. Fox News had better get this covered right the frick now. Scream, yell, and shake them if you have too. We have to do something right now. MAGA is going to destroy all of us if this continues for one more damn second.
America First cybersecurity means defending against every hostile actor, not just the ones targeting our rivals. An attack doesn't become acceptable because it benefits one side — that's not policy, it's corruption with a keyboard. Disagree on everything else if you want, but anyone who excuses an attack because a favored person or party profits has already picked the wrong side. Tolerate that logic once and every actor, foreign or domestic, learns our defenses are for sale. There's no such thing as a cyberattack that only hurts your opponents — open that door and we all walk through it as losers.

Without a shot fired

There are three different players here:
1. the GOP leadership and their ultrawealthy donors
2. those brainwashed by decades of GOP propaganda (= GOP voters)
3. Trump.

Look to The Heritage Foundation.
Love this: "throws our leadership-gutted military around like they're the food he throws on the White House walls"
Perfect!
All he cares about is vengence and making lots of money. Please everyone that can vote MUST VOTE in November!
By mail !!

Obliterated the Iranian nukes. Case closed. Oops... go to war to prevent Iranians having nukes. Huh?

Trump is definitely committing treason. The midterms cannot happen soon enough.
YES it is treason. It has been for a long time. My head is spinning.
Thank you Adam

Stupid is as Stupid DOES!
No, not stupid. The DELIBERATE empowering by a neofascist GOP of the enemies of America's democracy in order to destroy it.
Yes it is deliberate. No doubt in my mind at all.
I’m so glad you corrected me. We could argue are methods but they are essentially the same.
Well, I would say that fascism, as an ideology, is quite smart. That's why it is so dangerous.

Elect a clown get a circus; elect a criminal and get crime!
Nominate a clown and criminal as your presidential candidate, and you show the entire world that you have officially become a criminal, utterly dangerous political party.
There, corrected it for you.
He wants to destroy the country. People need to face that.
Yes people need to face that. It is so awful that people do not want to believe it. Excuse after excuse. Soon, there will not be anything left to defend. Break the glass for God's sake and get out the firehose. I do not know what it will take to wake up those damn zombies, but they had better get a grip or it is going to be over.

As he cuts funding to agencies and fires truth tellers, his bank accounts and lies grow.... hmmmm?

Yes Dan. This right here everyone. Read it and understand.
I wonder how much Trumpcoin China had to buy for this or whether they just have a copy of the Epstein files like Putin?
Another great reason to vote MAGA, Trump and his minions out
Wish DT would just implode, period.
