Musk aides lock gov. workers out of fed computer system

[FAUlty Gator]

All I can see in my head are posts from you hating on Biden while defending trump.

Maybe that’s a me thing.

I think what you see or remember is me talking people that things aren’t as bad or crazy as they’re making it out to be like when they say “the end of democracy is coming” and I tell them that I seriously doubt that. People jump on that as defending Trump.

Or when people say that “Trump is putting people in cages” and I remind them that they didn’t give a shit about those cages when Obama built them and did the same thing so why do they care now?

I'm just imagining if a Democratic President did this they would be hounded into resigning within 72 hrs. There would be a bi-partisan impeachment and then conviction.

But because we live in the insane times with a completely broken political and media environment, pretty much crickets.

Just incredible.

25th amendment coming.

25th amendment coming.

Zero chance. This Cabinet is composed largely based on loyalty and very little merit. They’ve repeatedly demonstrated their cowardliness and fealty.

I just like this title to the linked blog post:

Bessent gives unelected drug-addled fascist full access to the Treasury’s payment system​

Bessent gives unelected drug-addled fascist full access to the Treasury's payment system - Lawyers, Guns & Money

Have I mentioned recently that Joe Biden, who was not the Democratic nominee for president, is very old and didn’t provide a lot of juicy scoops? Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system...

I'd rather thousands of people abuse the disability system in place than a truly disabled person not be able to get the help they need because the system has been gutted.

Oh....Aren't you such a good virtuous person??...It's okay to massively steal from American taxpayers so you can feel good about yourself...

Is this a replay of Russia in the 90's?

The difference is we have a lot more guns. In the next few years a few of the oligarchs will get Luigi’d and soon after fun laws will change. Dead kids couldn’t do it, but dead oligarchs will.

Old enough to remember when the GOP absolutely hated "unelected bureaucrats."

I'd like to know how somebody/some people can walk into a government building and plug in a server and get access to this data

I know your MO is brute force. And I get all the reasons why. Agree with all of them. But it’s not working.

As I said in another thread I don’t know what will work outside of violence. But your approach isn’t working either.

I really don’t know if anything can work.

You cannot simply fix the ignorant stupidity of the American electorate overnight

Next dem admin needs to cancel every last contract the US gov has with any of his companies.

One thing that I don't worry about is X replacing banks

What could possibly go wrong letting the world's richest man letting his computer guys hook into the treasury. This is starting to feel like a coup.

Prior to now, they would have never created a Bond villain that would be trying to do something like this because it would have seemed TOO out there for even the Bond films.

And the Democrats are tweeting about prices/inflation while this is all going down.

I feel like a portion of them are complicit at this point.

This should be enough to enact the 25th amendment.

Never gonna happen.

A majority of current or acting heads of 15 cabinet positions would need to agree with the vice president to invoke the 25th Amendment. The other potential option, a disability review panel, would need to be established by a statute that is signed by the president, or if vetoed, approved by two-thirds of the House and Senate. Such a panel is not currently established.

Too many bootlickers and folks that have no spine are all in for trump and just shrug their shoulders on his actions. Too scared to get the Liz Cheney treatment.

By 2028 there will hopefully be a consensus to do something about the oligarchs and to end the 2nd gilded age. Might be demanded by the public.

Musk and the Trump administration are openly breaking the law here by giving a private citizen and his private organization access to all this federal data.

Musk is hopefully gonna have to be worrying about jail time by 2029, not just the dinging of his business empire.

I wonder what Elon and Putin spoke about on their phonecalls. Private phone calls with Putin guy is being given access to our systems.

25th amendment coming.

Biden practically begged for the 25th amendment to be carried out with his dementia riddled actions. Yet the Democrats denied covered up his mental acuity for at least 3 years.

I missed the part where DOGE is an official government office with Musk confirmed as its head and granted permission to do, well, anything.

Yeah, but we all knew it was coming. Despite what dumbasses like PF said.

Congress should step in but they are scared of his money.

🤣 I had to go through all sorts of 💩 to just get granted access to the test system of this. Interview with secret service, had to have a neighbor agree to one and at least one personal friend. Then a follow up interview with the agent. They just gave up access to the production one with no vetting 🤣 The biggest question they focused on was foreign influence. I'm happy to be out of the IT federal contracting world.
