Have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way
Trump is skeptical about the Russian hacking. He wants good evidence before he accepts the claims.
Speaking to a handful of reporters outside his Palm Beach, Fla., club, Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump cast his declarations of doubt as an effort to seek the truth.
I see what the NY Times did there. They said he’s bullshitting.
“I just want them to be sure because it’s a pretty serious charge,” Mr. Trump said of the intelligence agencies. “If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong,” he added, referring to intelligence cited by the George W. Bush administration to support its march to war in 2003. “So I want them to be sure,” the president-elect said. “I think it’s unfair if they don’t know.”
He added: “And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else. And I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation.”
Ah there’s Donnie from Queens – “I know something you don’t know, nananananana.”
It’s still bullshit, too. Of course he knows things “other people don’t know” but they probably aren’t things to do with the Russian hacking, since he’s been refusing to take his daily intelligence briefings. He knows a great deal less than he should know, as we can see every time he opens his mouth.
When asked what he knew that others did not, Mr. Trump demurred, saying only, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”
Spoken like a child. As always.
Then he gave us some important advice.
Mr. Trump, who does not use email, also advised people to avoid computers when dealing with delicate material. “It’s very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way, because I’ll tell you what, no computer is safe,” Mr. Trump said.
“I don’t care what they say, no computer is safe,” he added. “I have a boy who’s 10 years old; he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier.”
Because a courier is way more secure than any stinkin’ computer. Call up Supreme Systems – several outlets near Trump Tower – and give the courier they send your top secret shit and you’re golden. There is no conceivable way a courier can be made unsafe, unlike a computer.
I can’t wait to see him start negotiating with North Korea.
“If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong,”
I hate this argument. If you can dismiss the consensus of the intelligence community any time you want by point out they fucked up in the past, then why have intelligence agencies in the first place? Why not just disband the CIA and NSA?
Well, the intelligence agencies have only handled one thing in the past: the claims of WMD in Iraq. And they screwed it up! They’ve never gotten anything right!
At least Trump knows things!!
I’m starting to see a pattern. When something is beyond his comprehension he declares it unknowable and to be avoided. But proper cybersecurity cannot be had playing ostrich. Someone who really does know something about hacking needs to build a proper national “blue team”. Right now we mostly have a red team (nsa).
Hang on a mo’, didn’t the CIA say that there were no WMD’s in Iraq so baby Bush had some invented so he could have his war? His lapdog counterpart, Tony B. Liar pulled the same trick over here. ‘Sexing up’ the documents because the truth was inconvenient worked well for that pair but Trump doesn’t even need to do that. He just decides that the CIA are wrong and that’s all the proof he needs.
I wonder if it’s uncomfortable for Putin to have that orange head so far up his backside?
Yeah, Acolyte, Bush ignored intelligence, and said what the Hell he wanted to say…so if it is Bush saying there was Russian hacking, and having the message delivered by Colin Powell, time to be very suspicious.
YOU ARE ALL FORGETTING THAT TRUMP KNOWS THINGS!
Ahem.
Sorry.
That was my reaction, Acolyte. I knew before we invaded Iraq that there were no wmd’s, so Bush did too. I didn’t get one intelligence report, either.
No computer is safe but he knows it wasn’t he Russians. You can drive an Oldsmobile through his thinking and never have to touch the steering wheel..
