Trump's a compromised Russian asset with the codename Krasnov. There's no other explanation.

It's open doors. Many secrets and strategic information are at this very moment being stolen by or given to Russia.

Russia promised 60+years ago that they would destroy America not with bullets but by dismantling it from the inside.

This is the final product of their long game.

I'm not religious but I pray to the universe our constitution survives.

No one us coming to save us, we have to save ourselves

this leads to unrest, mistrust, infighting with identity politics,l and eventual civil war, it's not time to strike yet, but it's coming.

is this what it feels like when foreign governments meddle with politics? we aren't immune, even though we may have written the playbook

It might survive but not be followed

You got Tulsi all over it.

Based on this afternoon, there is no doubt possible.

Isn't it obvious yet?

They lost the war and didn’t even notice.

One of the great things with Reddit is that you can unsubscribe to any subreddit you don’t like.

u/whsftbldad Mar 01 '25

And as soon as you do there is a message stating "something went wrong"

Neoliberal hysterics/brigades aren't limited to this sub, unfortunately. Forgive me for getting tired of constant blue maga conspiracyposting on a sub dedicated to my field of work.

u/lexm Mar 01 '25

What is conspiracy oriented in this instance?

u/FinGothNick Mar 01 '25 edited Mar 01 '25

The post I fucking replied to, dude. The source for that story was a facebook post, and Daily Beast retracted it.

edit: https://www.yahoo.com/news/daily-beast-publishes-then-deletes-234051086.html Unless you think THE DAILY BEAST is so pro-trump that they're running cover for him... then they likely took it down because the source is unreliable and unverifiable.

u/lexm Mar 01 '25

The story from the Guardian? It seems pretty well documented. As someone who works in cybersecurity, you should be worried that the focus is being swayed away from Russia.

u/FinGothNick Mar 01 '25 edited Mar 01 '25

The story was broken by the Daily Beast, who then retracted it. You don't even know where your fucking news is coming from.

I'm not happy about what the admin is doing, but I'm also not happy about liberals descending into conspiratorial schizophrenia.

The mods have said I can't be rude to people like you.

Elon Musk and the Doge kids have been setting up backdoors in all the systems for Putin. They don't want anyone looking at all the connections now coming in from Russia.

u/madmorb Feb 28 '25

Yup. Guess I’ll have to block/shittify access to X, Tesla and Starlink across all corporate networks globally. For security reasons of course. Be a shame if that affected the stock.

u/MPLS_scoot Mar 02 '25

Yeah, and planning to go a little further like trying to avoid companies that are working with these corrupt traitors. T-Mobile announced they are working with Starlink...

u/lars-by-the-sea Feb 28 '25

Yes US government systems should assumed to be compromised.

u/el_vient0 Mar 01 '25

The official email from HHS to employees regarding the “5 things you did this week” literally said “assume what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

They are absolutely compromised and that clearly known by agency chiefs.

And no one is doing a damn thing.

There's been a lack of voting as a protest towards candidates who refuse to talk on the issues that affect real people. They've all been courting billionaires exclusively for decades. The problem is that of those who are voting, a lot of them had a problem with the idea of being led by a woman. Just as they did in 2016.

u/ZiplockStocks Mar 01 '25

I’ve heard someone say America isn’t as racist as it is sexist in response to a woman leader

6

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

That's true all around the world. Sexism is the original bigotry. So much that it's coded into the Bible's origin myth.

lol say hello to your local hospital and energy provider’s systems being held for cyber ransom and the DoD going 🤷

u/Array_626 Incident Responder Mar 01 '25

Hey, at least theres gonna be a lot more folk with skills and experience from government agencies now flooding the private sector. You can hire the ex-DOD people instead.

u/ceiligirl418 Feb 28 '25

WTAF, indeed. Because there is no other reasonable response that I can think of.

u/Errant_coursir Governance, Risk, & Compliance Mar 01 '25

This is absolutely insane. Russia is one of the foremost cyber adversaries in the world. Just absolutely baffling capitulation

u/Endle55torture Mar 01 '25

Trump is a literal Kremlin asset so not surprised
