Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago

quote [ Our first stop was Mar-a-Lago, a Trump country club in Palm Beach, Florida, where the president has spent most weekends since taking office. Driving past the club, we picked up the signal for a Wi-Fi-enabled combination printer and scanner that has been accessible since at least February 2016, according to a public Wi-Fi database.An open printer may sound innocuous, but it can be used by hackers for everything from capturing all the documents sent to the device to trying to infiltrate the entire network. ]

Dude is incompetent on nearly every level, and it's spilling over into ever more dangerous places.

Thing is, with Trump happily spilling secrets to the Ruskies, any half-decent hacker doesn't even have to break into Mar-a-Lago.

Someone may find the recipe to that amazing chocolate cake.

I'm guessing that the intelegence community is taking full advantage of Trump's insistence on single page, bullet-point list briefings to keep the more sensitive details that would normally be included away from this President.

His upcoming first foreign trip should be interesting, especially the first stops in Saudi Arabia and Israel. The Israelis are reportedly furious over his blabbing their intel to the Russians.

He's susceptible to flattery. Saudi Arabia in particular will play him like a fiddle. Applaud everything he says, then put him in whichever hotel suite has the most golden faucets.

Israel, on the other hand, is intertwined enough with the US that they don't really need Trump. Publicly, they'll say all the nice things, but I don't think there'll be much warmth when the cameras are off.

I honestly thought you were kidding. I should know better by now.

I just...I just can't understand it. Why would you not want all the information for your decisions? Aren't details helpful? I would think Drumpf would at least want the information to feel smugly superior about.

Sadly, no, and that's,"if it's in writing." I'm guessing he prefers cartoons with minimal word balloons. He also doesn't want to be reminded of things he's already been told in previous briefings. Apparently he has such an amazing memory that he can keep all the details of running the US as well as the geopolitical situation of the rest of the world in his head at once, all the time. He really must be, "like a smart person"!

Trump: FBI inquiry is 'greatest witch hunt' in history.

Ha ha ha ha.

And that includes actual witch hunts!

He's the Greatest Witch.

So the people so concerned about Hillary's private email server will surely be upset over this, right?

It's a golf club and resort. It's no different than going to a Trump hotel and crying about their wifi not being secure.

Plus, Trump doesn't use a computer.
