If Republicans had been the victims rather than the beneficiaries, they’d be pushing for an entire new department with cabinet-level authority.

“Some have voiced concern that eliminating the position will only make America even more vulnerable to cyber attacks.”

Yeah, that’s the point.

I didn’t realize that Bolton was in thrall to the Russians, too.

Some hawk.

Weird, it’s like a bunch of octogenarians don’t understand computers or something. Sad.

To be fair, the position was redundant. They’d already outsourced the job to Russia.

This is just absolutely damning. Just speaks for itself.

What part of the oath that they all took don’t they understand?? I know, I know, the answer is self-evident.

Totally unnecessary position.

Next up … air-traffic controllers, police and firefighters.

They’re not even trying anymore. When does Putin move into the White House?

Convincing the Trumpian masses that a Russian takeover would help them by hurting urban blacks and NPR whites will be a short hop from here.

Amazing. They even don’t bother to pretend. They could have maintained an appearance and insisted they are taking the threat seriously while appointing someone Nunes-esque to the position to effectively undermine the whole efforts. It would have been a little nice position to favor another Trumpkin idiot.

Instead, they eliminated it altogether.

Wow.

Is there some super secret entity designed to destroy the United States of America? Say like, the rest of the world.
Who ever may in charge of this catastrofe definitely hired the right imbeciles for the job.
From trump all the way down through the senate right down to the lowly right wing fanatical house rep.
Somebody close the damn door.

They just want to demonstrate their power and control and Democrats can’t do a thing about it!
