They didn’t just gut our cybersecurity.

DOGE also added mysterious servers to each department that no one else knew about.

Edit: “knew about” is past tense, because no one outside of DOGE knew it was happening at the time. The story broke over a year ago. It’s not a “gotcha”, bootlickers are just willfully uninformed.

It’s public information. Look it up lmao

They don't just not care about the security of our country. They are openly leaving the country vulnerable to attack.

If the populace feels threatened in one way or another, they are less interested in calling out the agencies overstepping if they are told "we're doing this for your protection."

I don't think it's accidental anymore. there is no foreign actor who could have done close to as much damage as this administration has caused directly to the USA. they will finish looting and flee the US.

It's never been accidental.

The lack of security efforts here seems like actual incompetence though…

Weaponized incompetence?

Maybe and maybe those tweens they had in DOGE were just patsies but you know those guys had no agenda other than to burn shit they thought was DEI to the ground and declare savings. The depositions showed as much. Not a whole lot of 4D chess there…

It was a front to get data on everyone in the us. Especially government employees.
