Current American administration has to be the most incompetent in the entire history of the USA. I'm just gonna throw some popcorn into microwave for tomorrow because surely they'll fuck something new up for sure.

I was going to say something about 2016, but no, 2016 at least had the patina of comptetence from all the republiQan retreads who were slobbering MAGA tools like Jefferson Beauregard the Perjurer and Dr. Pyramids-are-Grain-Storage.

Idiocracy now?

national security adviser Mike Waltz
lol

just do the opposite of whatever he advises I guess

It’s almost as if Trump shouldn’t have waived the mandatory FBI background checks for cabinet members. Y’know, the ones that would’ve caught all of these vulnerabilities?🤔
-
Do we have a list? Have any of these girls turned 18? Daddy needs some sugar, and Mike will have to deny knowing these girls. 🤣

Ok that's stupid af, but also why is that even an option?

It says none of their actual transactions was visible, just their friends lists. And Venmo has a long history of trying to be the "social media" of paying people.
So, like, I'm no fan of the guy, but ik confused why this is news? I can probably see his followed people on Twitter too, but that's not a scandal. If there aren't any sketchy payments or anything, what's the issue?

Other accounts carry the names of a wide range of media figures, from on-air personalities like Bret Baier and Brian Kilmeade of Fox News and Brianna Keilar and Kristen Holmes of CNN to a cable news producer, a prominent national security reporter, local news anchors, documentarians, and noted conspiracy theorist Ivan Raiklin, who calls himself the “the secretary of retribution” and once created a deep state target list. (Fox News declined to comment; CNN did not respond to a request for comment.)
Think of it as a fascism map

It got this from his phone contacts, so while some are totally expected, one wouldn’t necessary expect/want to see that he has some of those contacts.
-
Fair, but I didn't see any contacts that were terribly surprising or concerning.

I think it would be reasonable to want the country's national security advisor to the president to keep up with best practices. Or at least not be technologically inept.
-
I mean, I think most people on Venmo have it set this way. It's the default. I wouldn't call it inept.
It's not privacy focused for sure, but then, using social media in any capacity isn't. I'm unconvinced this is crazy worse.
