    We’re barely even trying with the massive cuts to cyber security. It’s almost the exact playbook you would use if leadership were actively hostile.

      Trump and co are actively hostile to the US government though. There have been entire books written about how compromised he is. He’s the perfect insider threat example: in debt to foreign powers, selfish and looking to make personal money, lies about his dealings, easily temptable with honeypot women (and Epstein girls, fucking sick), no allegiance or any form of duty to country or anything bigger than himself because he’s a massive nihilist narcissist.

      Really really scary times for anyone in America.

      See, that’s the thing. I always grew up with the phrase “Don’t blame on malice what can be explained by incompetence”.

      But at a certain point, IS it incompetence anymore??? At this point it’s starting to feel very very deliberate.

        In this case it is both malice and incompetence acting together to create the worst possible outcomes.
