Kuchner pushing to muck around in gov't computers.. Privatize it.. put it all in the cloud..

[annabanana]

Whose cloud? Time to hand over every last Kingdom Key to the tRump family!

[WhiteTara]

1. you mean his overlords, the Russians?

We don't need no stinking privacy. Give it all away to the highest bidder.

It just occurred to me that Pootie Poot will give the bastard a mansion in the Ukraine.

[annabanana]

3. Yeah... a nice dacha

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. It is all but over, if we impeach tomorrow, put a patriot in the WH (democrat)

we will still have 2 - 3 years of very hard work getting the russians out of our voting system.

[WhiteTara]

22. I wish us luck on that.

I think it is all but over.

[Shell_Seas]

2. Why doesn't Kushner's role violate federal nepotism laws?

Especially since he is profiting from his appointment....

[annabanana]

4. Well, technically it DOES.

It's going to take a lo-o-ong time to corral all these shits.

[Shell_Seas]

8. In the meanwhile,

they burn everything down as quick as they can?

[annabanana]

10. I do honestly think this is the plan. . . . n/t

[Shell_Seas]

16. When all is said and done...

How much $$ do you think the Trump regime will have raked in?

[RKP5637]

31. The goal by some of them is to destroy the federal government and turn everything

over to individual states and to privatize everything. This would eventually destabilize the US and those wanting the US to fail would have achieved their objectives, to kill off the longest living democracy. There is some very evil sh** going on and millions of Americans still can't comprehend how they are being used.

[Shell_Seas]

32. I mean, didn't Bannon specifically state that this was his goal?

How is anyone still unaware?

[RKP5637]

40. A fair number of Americans are clueless no matter what happens, and some just don't care. And a

large number of Americans could care less about anything as long as they get through each day. DU is a unique place, but IMO most people do not follow events like DU does. Hence, they are easy marks.

Yes, their agenda has been stated over and over and over again. I also feel some democrats and independents don't have the guts to stand up to them, and many republicans go along for the ride. Many are making big bucks off of all of this.

[WhiteTara]

5. IOKIYAR

You know that.

[Shell_Seas]

11. I'm still waiting to see when

the "checks and balances" kick in...

[WhiteTara]

20. How old are you?

I hope very young because it's going to be a long long time before something like that kicks in. I doubt if I see it in my lifetime.

[Shell_Seas]

24. I'm old, lol.

I guess I'm more hopeful than you.

[WhiteTara]

26. I'm so old, I've lost all hope

I'm thinking of upping my meds just to cope.

I've watched the pukes my entire lifetime trying to destroy the country that they say they love. They spend all their time demonizing "other" and bending laws to make our lives as miserable as they can.

I know that the arc of the pendulum must swing in both directions, but it seems that arc is way way too long.

[Shell_Seas]

28. For several months, I tuned out after the election...

Then I did up my meds, and got back on my horse.

I live in Texas, so this fight for me isn't new. Trump winning was a crushing blow that I've felt before on local and state levels.

We had a lot of wins with Obama, (even though Comrade Cheeto is systematically destroying them), we'll get there again.

Since you're old, you know that old saying, "the wheels of justice turn slowly."

[WhiteTara]

30. But grind exceedingly fine...

yes, I know.

Glad to hear that med upping has good effects! I'll let you know when mine kicks in.

[RKP5637]

38. And, they call themselves patriots, love of the flag, their god and country and all of the

bullshit they sling. I often ponder, what the F is wrong with Americans. Why can't the see what is going on. I see these F'ed up patriots, always the same, Trump stickers, flags on their trucks, god and country, love of country. FFS! They are so damn ignorant and stupid. They are supporting those selling the country down the drain.

Sometimes I feel like just F it all. I was lucky to grow up in better years. I still have trouble believing millions of Americans support this coup/regime, and then millions just don't give a damn. I guess US = United Sheep!

[spanone]

9. well, donald made 19 million off his DC hotel....this alone would put Hillary Clinton in jail

[Retrograde]

23. Because his FiL is a Republican

whom the rest of the GOP is letting do whatever he wants.

[HipChick]

6. Even the cloud is subject to all kinds of federal requirements...

It's not hack proof..

[Mister Ed]

7. So after raising hell for years because HRC kept some gov't info on a private computer...

...they now want to put ALL gov't info on private computers?

[Iggo]

13. Exactly.

[annabanana]

14. pretty much.. you know..

efficiency

[Freethinker65]

29. +1000

[dalton99a]

12. Might as well use the computer experts who already know their way around

Any questions, just call their boss Vladimir

[TBA]

15. I'm in IT

The cloud is just someone else's computer.

[dalton99a]

17. +1

[annabanana]

18. Dosvedanya

pesky data...

[Dave Starsky]

25. These fools probably think it's God.

Your data couldn't be any safer than it would be in Jesus' loving hands up there in Heaven.

[annabanana]

27. Ah hahahahahahah. . .DUzy! . . . n/t

[tblue37]

37. Ha! I said the same thing below--before reading the comments! nt

[Kleveland]

21. He is a fucking moron.

When are these idiots going to understand that you cannot run a Government like a business!

And if they did, we are supposed to take heart in the fact that the only thing that *Rump does well is go bankrupt?

That is what this country needs... Jeebus Christos!

[MedusaX]

33. Example of overt Quid Pro Quo: *45 owes Vlad Access to entire US Gov. Cyber Structure plus

•lifting of all sanctions
• weakening of NATO alliances & power
• Eliminating Minsk Agreement
• Weakening of Paris Agreement
• access to banking & business opportunities in US
• access to /Influence of Pentagon DoD actions
• access to /influence over US Intelligence
• Withdrawal of US from global trade alliances

This allows Vlad the opportunity to strengthen Russia's economy which is based on fossil fuel market...

With access to increased continuous revenue from oil trade, and the overall reduction of Global interference as a result of Vlad's control over US Gov. via *45 & KGOP...

Vlad can assume position of immense geopolitical power and use that to push SCO into the #1 most influential global political alliance and is the union of 4 Nuclear powers....

Vlad wants also to weaken the role of the USD in the global arena ... and wants to increase the role of the Yuan as well as that of a digital currency like Bitcoin......

We are witnessing daily what is Quite possibly the largest most overt Quid pro Quo pay-out, in the form of an unopposed insurgent takeover of a sovereign government, ever executed....
100% facilitated by the KGOP & MSM & all who claim there is no "there" there.

[annabanana]

34. This needs to be an OP! . . . .n/t

[suffragette]

35. Kushner as Technology Czar, one amongst his many other Czar roles.

Imagine he'll be pushing to reduce privacy and privatize, rather than say to improve systems such as GFS to become better at predicting weather rather than continuing to lose ground in that to European systems.

[tblue37]

36. Storing files in the cloud is basically storing it on someone else's computer. nt

[WinkyDink]

39. I think this little plan has been foiled.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

41. Go for it Kushie!

One of my friends has been working on a doomed IT modernization project for the last decade that three different top-tier vendors paid handsomely to walk away from.

[annabanana]

43. Watched my dear late Mr. Banana

battle the .gov IT wars for decades.

What none of these vendors ever seemed to realize is that the Government is an eco-system, not a business. Things were adapted and added incrementally over the whole of US history. What works in one Port doesn't work at another, etc etc

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

44. These guys are unfortunately stuck with an earlier modernization

What seemed like a bullet-proof platform for the ages in 1994 was all but dead by 2004 and in 2006 they were directed to replace it with a high-availability Linux based platform. Now they're just trying to get the original vendor which is several mergers deep to just rebuild the original application for Intel based Linux which is what everyone wanted to do a decade ago but instead it was put out for bids and three successive vendors have failed at reinventing the wheel.

Meanwhile they're buying parts on eBay to keep the existing hardware running.

[annabanana]

45. yeah..

it happens

[sinkingfeeling]

42. The same one that held the unsecured voter data base of 198 million people?
