Am I understanding this correctly? Mike Johnson is 3rd in line for POTUS

[Coventina]

And he has given complete access to a 3rd party to scan all his devices for EVERYTHING?

And that 3rd party is loony tunes!!! Who knows what they do with his info!?!?!?!?!

How is this an acceptable way to run our government?!?!?!

OH MY GOD SAVE ME FROM YOUR FOLLOWERS!!!!!!!!

1. Second in line. n/t

[Coventina]

2. OK, I was counting the sitting POTUS as #1.

on edit: typo

3. National security is the new oxymoron.

[LuckyCharms]

4. Yep, your point is well taken. n/t

[themaguffin]

5. I'm not sure what you are referring to...??

[Coventina]

6. He has some firm called "Covenant Eyes" looking at all his devices to see what he does

in cyberspace. It then makes a report to his "accountability partner" who happens to be his teenage son.

It's to prevent the temptation to look at porn sites, but it looks at EVERYTHING!

9. Does this sound oddly like "sponsor" ?

This sounds like something that someone battling an addiction does.

Non-drinking alcoholics have a sponsor they can call when they need a little extra support to stay off the bottle.

Non-using drug addicts have a sponsor they can call when they need that extra support to stay off the needle or the pill.

So Johnson (or his son) have a sponsor they have to account to if they...well...you know what...

Seems like having an accountability partner is because you need someone to keep you off the ...well...you know what. Just weird.

11. It's different from having a sponsor.

I'm not disagreeing with you that this is a sign of an addiction. I'm saying it's different from having a sponsor. This is an abdication of personal responsibility

A sponsor is someone the addict calls for support and guidance in moments of doubt. The sponsor is supposed to respond to requests for support, not spy on the addict or initiate nagging.

This Covenant thing is handing somebody else the responsibility to spy on you. The point of recovery is to take responsibility for one's own behavior. This is the opposite: participants are saying they don't want to take responsibility; they want somebody else to spy on them. And then do what?

13. I don't think it applies to his Government devices...

For security reasons, third party software is hard to add.

[themaguffin]

14. So he has a firm, but not a bank account. That makes sense. Also this doesn't sound like grift at all...

[Bayard]

7. Terrifying, isn't it?

I want to put Biden and Harris in bullet-proof bubbles.

I could see it as another way to install trump again if Johnson was completely in charge.

[getagrip_already]

8. tiny was an even bigger threat......

He wouldn't use the secure phone the ss wanted him to have. he ket using his off the shelf iphone with all his downloaded apps ad spyware installed.

pooty and kimie probably listened to every word in the oval office for 4 years.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

10. He's weird as shit, but I don't know that he is saying he has that tracking app

on government-issued devices. I'm pretty sure the government would not allow that. Like it would be impossible to install it. And if he's looking at porn on his government device so his 17-year-old son doesn't know he's into the porns, then he has even bigger problems.

12. Counting the President, yes.

15. Too bad it's not Mike Pence.

He would be behind a woman!
