....and other nat sec flubs in the first month, although this one seems pretty yuge. Given Hillary's private server was essentially disqualifying for so many, I'm expecting an appropriate amount of outrage over this, and the rest.

yuuuuuup. Except not, because somehow HRC and Trump are held to different standards.

I'm guessing Richard DeAgazio's Mar-a-Lago membership has been revoked by now and he's high up on the shit list Omarosa keeps for Trump.

ETA: Or maybe not. http://heavy.com/news/2017/02/richard-deagazio-donald-trump-mar-a-lago-facebook-photos-pictures-twitter-youtube-actor-boston-bio/

My fav parts of the article:

"Why is this important? Mobile phones have flashlights, yes — and cameras, microphones and Internet connectivity. When Edward Snowden was meeting with reporters in Hong Kong at the moment he was leaking the material he’d stolen from the NSA, he famously asked that they place their phones in the refrigerator — blocking any radio signals in the event that the visitors’ phones had been hacked. This was considered the most secure way of ensuring that the phones couldn’t be used as wiretaps, even more secure than removing the battery. Phones — especially phones with their flashes turned on for improved visibility — are portable television satellite trucks and, if compromised, can be used to get a great deal of information about what’s happening nearby, unless precautions are taken.

Precautions weren’t taken. One of DeAgazio’s photos shows Trump using a phone at the table, within view of other diners (and while sitting next to a foreign leader). It’s not clear what phone Trump is using in that picture, but it’s known that he uses a relatively old Android device, even while serving as president. As we noted last week, Trump generally uses that device when he’s not in the middle of a work day. Shortly before the dinner with Abe, he tweeted from it.

The problem is that Trump’s Android phone would be very simple to hack to provide precisely the sort of access described above. NPR dug into the question of how secure that phone might be, and Berkeley computer scientist Nicholas Weaver was blunt.

“Donald Trump for the longest time has been using a insecure Android phone that by all reports is so easy to compromise, it would not meet the security requirements of a teenager,” Weaver told NPR, and while he couldn’t say for sure, “we must assume that his phone has actively been compromised for a while, and an actively compromised phone is literally a listening device.”

But yeah, he's totally competent as president, and not a lying hypocrite AT ALL

Free publicity for his business too.

Here's my "favorite" part of the article:




REALLY? Does anyone here think it's smart to post a picture like that to your facebook page? And didn't it occur to the so-called-prezident that this particular attache is a thing to show off, and not someone you go around introducing to your friends?

W.T.F. I didn't see this earlier. I just cant with the sheer stupidity/irresponsibility of this. Just when I think he cannot be any more careless, dumb, insulting, or useless he proves me wrong. EVERY. TIME.

On a related note, I have a new name for him (thanks to social media/urban dictionary).

SCROTUS
Acronym for So-Called Ruler of the United States, as in POTUS, President of the United States.
SCROTUS today said, "See you in court."

I don't think it matters if he is a security risk, if he lies, it doesn't matter, his supporters will still defend him until he does something that impacts them personally in an adverse way......

This image made me laugh hysterically (emphasis on the hysterical part, since it's all so horrible that I feel panicked).

What I meant, of course. Looks like the so-called prez is not the only one who should consider hiring a proofreader.
