    Never thought I’d see the end of US military hegemony in my lifetime. But this makes it that much more likely.

    Listen, guys. It’s bad. Yes.

    Please if you’re freaking out, watch this.

    If you don’t know this guy, he’s an OG Security guy, very frequent speaker at Black Hat and DEF CON. Brilliant guy in many ways.

    The tl;dw:

    Government is a lumbering giant that is as hard to change negatively as it is to change positively. That’s not to say things are a-okay. They’re not. But there are solutions to every problem, and historically, love wins.

      If you go through the proper channels? Absolutely. If you have babysitters watching him and putting restrictions on what he can do like his last term? Absolutely. When his administration’s babysitters called him out and left the field. Telling people not to elect him again. And now he’s just surrounding himself with Craven yes men. And is going to go outside of normal procedure. To put more Yes Men in place. You can’t count on the lumbering giant anymore.
