(24,395 posts)The Justice Department and federal court system have disclosed they were compromised as part of a massive breach of federal government agencies that U.S. officials have linked to Russia.

(7,334 posts)I feel we all have to watch each others back in these dangerous times.
Doesn't matter what wing of the party one is in (and even those few realistic and true patriotic rethugs like TLP), these times require all sane patriots to come together.
The enemy is in the gates and we gotta crush them. The time for internal differences can come later after the danger has lessoned.

(24,395 posts)In the Oval Office, President Trump gestures to Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, as he speaks to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. (Alexander Shcherbak/TASS/Getty Images)
I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.

"I'm not under investigation," he added.

(20,591 posts)must direct the FBI to destroy these domestic terrorist groups. Trump's FBI took a hands off approach, and Trump himself emboldened these groups. Of course they think they have carte blanche in this country to carry out their ersatz "missions" to destroy the government. Destroy whatever Trump himself hasn't already destroyed, that is.

(11,885 posts)And protect these and many other businesses from these extremist fascist groups. Congress needs to be exposed where they are with this now, and oust the biggest threat sitting in the WH. I trust anything Mr Nance says, and he's been right all along. I've also worried about trump and putin are plotting to cyber attack our infrastructure groups, Power and water plants, banking, energy companies, and others to use to cripple us with, then take over.

(6,352 posts)Or is there another beef? I think big tech has bent over backwards for the crazies.
It would be interesting if both sides started rejecting social media.
mucifer
(25,667 posts)and trump has had vicious verbal attacks against WaPo and NYT. So their god is telling them to attack those organizations.

(7,359 posts)My husband pointed out to one neighbor, Sharon Maga, that it's only the app that's been taken off of Google & Apple. Her response, "But now we can't congregate!" We have to continuously remind ourselves that they really are that stupid.
Tommymac
(7,334 posts)Qanon has targeted big tech from the outset.
Putin knows the tech companies are the only real line of defense the West has. Destroy them, kill the experts, compromise the servers and infrastructure, and he will have free reign to wreck havoc on the Global Economy.
Social media is a two edged sword. We need it to monitor the crazies, but they use it to try and co-ordinate their actions on a Global scale.
Honestly, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop in the UK and EU.

(3,684 posts)their actions are very Christian. Melinda Gates is Catholic and she lives her faith. Bill Gates has Christian values and has said so.
For QAnnon nuts it is just about tribalism. They follow a kind of hate based idolatry.

(1,910 posts)Being part of a conspiracy vastly increases the penalties. The Garland DOJ must form conspiracy cases against as many who stormed the Capitol as they can. Same with anyone involved in these plots. Once they see some of their buddies going way for 20 years without parole....most of these clowns will start to chill out.

(13,247 posts)Make no mistakeRepublicans, with the help of our enemies, have done this to all of us. It boggles the mind so many of our fellow citizens could be such traitors, yet they are. Wednesdays assault on our capitol (where the entire line of succession of our government were trapped and open laptops and computers were open, and vulnerable to cyber attack) was just the opening salvo. This is far from over and its horrifying! To those who voted for Trump, yes, he has certainly shaken thing up! Thank you GOP!

(13,247 posts)Part of the reason we are in this crisis today is due to the previous moving forward. When criminals aren't held accountable, they take it as tacit approval, and commit even more egregious crimes.

(81,271 posts)When we let Bush steal the election, Bush and Cheney get away with all of their crimes,
it did not bode well for the future. Here we are.
dlk
(13,247 posts)Letting Nixon, then Reagan off the hook for their crimes paved the way for Bush and Cheney, who paved the way for Trump. The irony is the "law and order" party is the home of so many serious criminals. It wouldn't be an exaggerations to say the Republican party has become a RICO organization and now Don is their don.
Irish_Dem
(81,271 posts)They steal as much money from the US Treasury as they can, no consequences.
Then the Dems have to come in and clean up their messes and fill up the piggy bank again.
RVN VET71
(3,192 posts)is not just blustering. These people are traitors, seditionists, seeking to destroy communications networks and media companies. They seek to kill people with whom they disagree and are almost eagerly willing to accept, as collateral damage, the deaths of thousands if not millions of bystanders. These are the, collectively, the resurrected spirit from hell of Timothy McVeigh, the child murderer, and need to be tracked closely and arrested when the evidence presents itself.
Trials, of course, will stretch on and on. But thats our process. Even McVeigh, their patron saint in murder and blood feast, had his day in court.

(24,722 posts)Our local police department is right around the corner from our business. The parking lot where the officers park their personal vehicles is loaded with tRump/pence bumper stickers. Its disturbing.
Rhiannon12866
(255,530 posts)But during the campaign, I noticed that the few houses in these parts that had Trump banners (I saw none in 2016!) also had those signs that said "back the blue."
And don't get me started on Elise Stefanik! Since embarrassing herself by appearing on national television with Gym Jordan during the impeachment hearings, she's become full-blown Trump and in her campaign ads this time around, she was surrounded by uniformed police officers - all giving a "thumbs up!"

(7,794 posts)I wonder, just how great is the separation between a joystick armed monster killer and a joyride murder spree through the other side of town? "Mall Rats" of the 90's are, now, approaching middle age and huffing glue really does damage brain cells.
llashram
(6,269 posts)to make important people aware of this brewing coup attempt for months. Stephanie Miller has had him on her radio show countless times and he kept warning that trump was cooking up something but apparently to no avail. Wednesday cinched it for me. Obviously the messenger was ignored. 5 people died. Many injured. Very few arrested(so far). And trump still looking for a media platform he can use to keep shitting on decent people. The man is a mess. Now what he and his doctors have been hiding about his mental leading state for years is out in the open and he is the leader of a full blown insurgency that threatens our democracy down to its very foundation. Hardball people! That's the only thing these insurrectionists will understand about our resolve. In the coming month. Yes. HARDBALL.

They can't take down all the servers, news rooms etc. Google, yahoo etc. are enormous with servers all over the place. This just sounds extremely stupid on an epic level.
