The incoming chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee has pledged to severely cut the powers of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency or eliminate it entirely.
“we survived for what, 248 years without them”
Ahhh yes, 200 years ago was the golden age of the internet
Can someone please remind me exactly why Republicans are trying to speedrun the collapse of, well, everything?
Every single pick he has made so far has made our nation less safe. Like outright, not even trying to hide it.
And now this clown is chair of such a vital committee?

Look at it this way. Outside of long-term cocksuckers like Gaetz, do you honestly think Trump even knows who 95% of these people are? Or for that matter cares? Do you think that the crayon-eaters Trump has advising him has a clue who 95% of these people are?
Trump has his orders. Get these people into these positions, come hell or high water. And Trump is passing those orders down the chain of command. The only “question” is who’s giving Trump the orders. And if you want the answer, give it a few months and then follow the money. It’s not like the trail of breadcrumbs is hard to follow. The crumbs they throw down are the size of a loaf.
Lol given there are a good number of countries who engage in constant increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks, this might be the stupidest one yet
I hope you guys aren’t too attached to having money stay in your bank accounts and your utilities working reliability
We literally just had China hack our telecommunications and this guy wants to eliminate the agency countering overseas nation-state hacking. It’s almost like Trump’s cabinet is not really on our team…
Lol Rambling Rand trying so hard to be fuckin relevant again
Russian tool. Republicans are traitors.
There are few places where I agree with Rand Paul, but the abolishment of “Homeland Security” is one of them. We got this shit because of 9/11. It greatly expanded the power and control of government over our lives and we weakened our constitutional rights (e.g. illegal search and seizure) because of it.
I completely understand that weak cybersecurity is a threat, but we already have the Department of Defense, Department of National Intelligence and Department of State covering it, so there is already built in redundancy, why do we need DHHS doing it too?

Given the fact that Trump is going out of his way to install the worst candidates for every possible government position in existence, I’m actually glad for all the redundancy. With any luck, Trump won’t notice that at least one of these departments exists, leaves someone with more than 3 functioning brain cells in charge, and gives us at least some semblance of cybersecurity.
