- SO MUCH TEETH
Something something Hillary E-Mails something something lock her up. Does this mean we can lock up Trump now?
Hahaha consequences, like most big scary 4-syllable words, roll off Dumpty Trumpy like water on a duck's back.
- Honestly? We really should be chanting to Lock Him Up by now. Seemed to work pretty well for them
- Certainly seems that way, and I can only think of 3 reasons for that.
  Incompetence, whoever set it up doesn't know how to limit the email group to only authorized or even just internal-only emails.
  An oversight, same scenario as the first, but just a step missed in the setup process as opposed to incompetence.
  Whoever set it up purposely didn't set it up correctly so this exact scenario would occur.
  
  I'm guessing they opened it up so people from DOGE could send email blasts to all federal employees without going through the normal agency channels, and they couldn't figure out how to whitelist just one address, so they just opened it up to everyone and hoped nobody would notice.
- Wait can anyone email this or just internal addresses? Asking for a friend…
Cool. Now when (if) he leaves office well now have back doors all over the place within our national tech systems.
Perf.
abusive
Idk, sounds empathetic to me
I love it, however it also applies to pretty much every job I've ever had and I've never had a government job.
