What gets me is that he has the means to become the most beloved man in history pretty much on a whim. I can’t even begin to comprehend the amount of good he could do by dumping half his fortune into good causes, which would still leave him with orders of magnitude more money than he’d need to buy/do whatever the fuck he wants with.

The attention he craves is right there. But he chooses instead to be a villain. Why?? Be a fucking superhero - even if it’s for completely selfish reasons, humanity won’t give shit.

I don’t get it.

If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I’d spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!

…a gif? No no no no, a masterpiece like that needs the full-length visual and audio experience!

Take a boomer with you to cosign a shit ton of loans. Go to college, get your cancer treated, whatever; then flee the country to a less shitty part of the world. You get a better quality of life, and the debt goes back to the ones that fucked us! Win win!

(normally I can’t stand using the /s, but just in case it needs to actually be said, this is not a serious comment)

No soldier with any sense of awareness to the fact that Donald Trump is an enemy to the US (which admittedly is depressingly few), would want him there anyway.

He hasn’t botched the tariffs - his goal is to weaken the US as evident by the outcome of every fucking decision he makes. And to that end, he’s accomplished his mission.

Stop treating him like a village idiot who’s trying to run our country and failing; and start treating him like a domestic enemy to the US who’s trying to destroy our country and succeeding.

‘Botched’ is what happened when that rally shooter missed, and what actively happens every time someone who swore the Oath of Office/Enlistment/Commissioned Officers is within arm’s reach of that traitor and fails to uphold their obligation to defend our constitution from all domestic threats.

Automation and job replacement is a good thing. The reason it feels bad is because we’ve tied the ability to satisfy our basic needs to employment. In an economic model that actually isn’t a dystopian hellscape, robots replacing jobs is something to celebrate.

And to switch our economic model to one in which a person can thrive without pissing the vast majority of our lives away on the grind; we just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!

It’s very human.

He’s a narcissistic idiot and a baby enemy of the United States. He deserves to be mocked mercilessly tactically engaged by our military the same way they do to the leaders of our other enemies like ISIS or Al Quaeda.

Whether or not he’s truly an idiot, he should be treated as though the damage he’s doing is 100% intentional. He isn’t trying to cut government waste and failing at it, he’s destabilizing our country and the rest of the planet.

He is a hostile enemy combatant.

Just chuck him in a dumpster, where he can rot with all the dignity he deserves.

Copy and pasting from a similar thread - tldr is that lapses in infosec are fucked because it’s a direct attack on YOUR security; and any official info running through other-than-official channels is fucked because that’s an attack on your rights as a citizen by circumventing FOIA or accountability. When that happens, you should be pissed off regardless of which side of the aisle the culprit resides on.

Anyway…

I keep seeing Hillary’s server brought up to highlight the red team’s hypocrisy, but there’s some introspection to be had for us as well on that topic.

Hillary’s email server was one of many stepping stones on the path of increasingly fucked infosec. Now, the vast majority of neanderthals foaming at the mouth over her emails only gave a damn about it because of the (D) next to her name, but those idiots getting angry at it for the wrong reasons doesn’t mean it wasn’t a big deal.

My perspective on all that when the story was first breaking: I was fairly new e-nothing junior enlisted medic in the USAF. The closest thing to classified info I ever dealt with was ‘confidential’ medical shit covered by HIPAA, and like people’s social security numbers. That’s it. But even with zero-access to military secrets, at the absolute rock-bottom of the chain of command, I still had to take lengthy infosec courses every year (or every quarter? idr) to ensure I knew how to identify and properly handle classified information. Fuckups in infosec are NOT tolerated: like if I took a single page of classified info home without authorization, that’d be a court martial / potential jail time / stripped of rank / dishonorable discharge level offense. Then we have a fucking Secretary of State - someone who handles classified info all the time and should be a subject matter expert on the do’s and don’ts of it - running her own shady-ass server away from the prying eyes of FOIA, claiming to not recognize classified indicators?? Then before anything could be done about it, we got the whole bleach-bit and hammer-to-harddrives scene, so some nice destruction of evidence as the cherry on top.

100% we should have crucified her.

Just like we should have crucified the dipshits before her using private email platforms like gmail or some shit to send or receive official / classified communication. Every one of those fuckers knew better.

Then Trump happens and makes everything prior, Hillary and all, look like fucking j-walking compared to the scale and blatancy of his crimes. ‘Crucified’ doesn’t even begin to describe what needs to happen to that fucking traitor.

…but the dismissiveness regarding the email server does kinda strike a nerve for me - she fucked up BAD, and we dropped the ball by not holding her accountable, as that left the door open for dipshits like Trump to continue the trend of worse and worse infosec.

Again, it’s peanuts compared to Trump - I hate writing shit like this for even the flicker of a possibility of drawing a false equivalence. There is no equivalence here. But I really wish we’d collectively change our tone about handwaving the ‘buttery males!’ shit because it is hypocritical to do that and then get pissy about the red team’s conceptually-similar-albeit-orders-of-magnitude-more-severe fuckups.

At the end of the day, we should expect our leaders to do their job and do it correctly. If they don’t, then get angry - it’s your security they’re playing with. None of them get the benefit of the doubt, regardless of which color their campaign stickers are.

One monitor straight ahead for games, 2nd monitor off to the side for discord or some media.

Or 2nd monitor for the map of the game in the first monitor (game devs!! Pretty please?!).

“when I was your age I made -half- what they’re paying at mcdonalds now, and I paid for a car, a house, college, and and supported my wife and three kids with it!”

But an arrest and trial would

be an absolute pony show ending with no conviction.

We only have a criminal justice system for the poors. If you want justice for people like Musk, vigilante is the only option.

Leave your cellphones at home, mask up, wear gloves, cover your tattoos / apply temporary fake tattoos, park WAY off site / don’t take any route to or from that exposes your license plate to cameras (like turnpike’s, etc).

lol. This was the only glitch?

Remember when your dumb asses fired the people who maintain the nuclear stock pile?

That was all intentional. Everything he’s done to fuck up the US, the economy, and our relationship with our allies has all gone according to plan, because he’s an enemy to the United States and a domestic threat to our Constitution.

There’s nothing elite about those leeches. We’ve allowed them to rob us of our blood for so long that they’ve swelled to a ridiculous size, but that’s nothing a blade and some fire can’t fix.

…all I want is a President who can assume the duties of a President. Starting to feel like a unicorn.
