Trump says DHS cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs has been terminated

[Stoic]

To add: Trump's law suits are falling like autumn leaves. The only 'things' benefiting are the lawyers in new polished silk Hong Kong suits with red ties. The red ties will likely come off next year.

Trump's PAC is also benefiting from the additional fund raising.

Not really. Unless it's ones desire to maintain the divide.

This guy is a techie. If he's like 99% of us, he cares about doing the job and doing it right and as such likely has no patience for people that want to play games with the data

I work in the tech world. Most of us despise people that try to pretend they know what they are doing, or that are willing to play games to make points. Its the job and whether it is done right that matters, not some moron's wishful thinking about it.

It's funny hearing YOU talk (a few posts up) about MY hostility -- which, FTR, I acknowledge.

[I][B]By firing Chris, Trump has created a more powerful adversary.

If he actually sent that self-aggrandizing tweet, he clearly suffers from James Comey Syndrome. All the more reason to kick him to the curb -- though pushing him down an elevator shaft would have been better.

Reepi was talking about a tweet by Chris, not Trump, and it's not nice to wish violence on a sitting president.

Please try and stay on subject. This sounds like a philosophy discussion.

Sorry! I got excited discussing my favourite Monty Python sketches!

On Powell/Giuliani press conference:

Chris Krebs, who headed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency before being fired this week by Trump, tweeted after the news conference: “That news conference was the most dangerous 1hr 45 minutes of television in American history. And possibly the craziest. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re lucky.”

Broadcasting American insanity to the world.

Powell had a dose of verbal diarrhoea. Now prove it.

“I am not going to say they don’t have proof, but they better come up with proof and go to court because these are serious allegations that basically say our election was manipulated by a combination of foreign and domestic actors and stolen, and that cannot be left just simply out there, it needs to be proven or withdrawn,” Mr. Rove said.

I was wishing violence on Krebs.

And why is Krebs more trustworthy than Giuliani? Because Krebs' hair dye doesn't run, or because he's aligned with Democrats? Probably both.

By the way, Krebs allegedly was only an expert on foreign cyber security. None of the Giuliani press conference referred to that.

If you can’t tell that Giuliani is a nutter, you are a nutter too. Don’t be part of the problem.

Sure you were. I mean, really, you'd have to be some kind of cult member to wish death on somebody who disagreed with your leader. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Oh, So it's "truthiness." I forgot about that one.

Oh, man, the oozing brown paint. That was mortifying. I thought I was seeing that one Gary Oldman scene from the Fifth Element.
