Totes looking forward to that Putin meeting though. Pootie poot's troll game has been loving aces lately.

It would be a masterstroke for Putin to, on camera during the interview, nonchalantly acknowledge he helped trump get elected, and Trump to just absolutely blow up and threaten him in response. I feel it would cause 9/11 levels of brain brokedness in republicans.

I worked for a large financial firm that, despite having a huge dedicated information security department and selling that fact to its clients, caved to the individual computer demands of every executive. We're talking local admin with non-expiring passwords of "password", here. I walked away from that job firmly believing that people over a certain age are unable to grasp what the internet really is and cannot fathom an intangible thing affecting the material world. Cyber security is seen as an expense, and when a breach happens it's treated the same way somebody sneaking past physical security would be- that somebody wasn't doing their job, so they look for an individual (someone in the IS department, not the dumbass that fell for the fishing email) to blame.

I switched my career path from security to just normal sys admin stuff because it's so depressing to work somewhere that has the means to do a decent job of protecting themselves but won't because they're unwilling or unable to say "NO" to some old men. I cannot even begin the fathom what the US government situation must be like.
