to believe conservative low-information goofs over the FBI. Ha, ha, ha. I can never decide whether to believe the FBI or some certifiably dishonest real estate sleazebag. Tough one.
What has the Trump administration done? That's a scandal: Trump still won't admit that the Russians hacked our election because he's got a hard-on for Putin and Russian dirty money, which has propped up his property business for years.
OK, dumb question category. We've been messing in the politics of other countries for a long time - sometimes just passing up the elections and putting a dictator in power, so why would any rational being not think someone could or would do the same to us?
There's no question that locks are a deterrent; we put them on doors for a reason. No question that some locks and security measure are better than others. Why, then, don't we have better measures to counter outside interference?
My thought is that if you are stupid enough to lay out your life on Facebook, etc, then you don't have the wherewithal to understand security; unfortunately that appears to cover most of the US population. Just one big don't worry, be happy crowd.
With that kind of lapse in intelligence, it's no wonder that anything attached to the internet leaks like a sieve. To be protected, you have to put your mind to it, but first you have to recognize that there is a problem to begin with. A large part of the population won't even own up to the thought of internal election fraud/ manipulation; don't do that, and there are really no protections is place - foreign or domestic.
The other part that most affects business; effective security is expensive; business doesn't want "unecessary cost, and they can get away with it; government can't respond quickly enough to act. Examples: the Equifax bungle is being allowed to fade into the sunset, and Dims are still blatantly claiming there is no election fraud. Stupid is as stupid does.
