    Newsweek suspects hackers crashed website because of negative Trump article

    Apparently it was a ddos yesterday

    "We don't know everything. We're still investigating," Newsweek editor in chief Jim Impoco told POLITICO. "But it was a massive DDoS attack, and it took place in the early evening just as prominent cable news programs were discussing Kurt Eichenwald's explosive investigation into how Donald Trump's company broke the law by breaking the United States embargo against Cuba."

    As of Friday afternoon, Impoco told POLITICO that the main IP addresses involved in the hack were Russian, but that there was "nothing definitive" about the ongoing investigation.

    Trump is a guy who talks about watching supermodels have sex but feels free to say a woman is no angel for being in some reality TV sex scene.

    By the way, I'm loving this mini-Brexit thing with the override of the 9/11 bill veto. So awesome!

    Can't wait for Trump to weigh in on it. Should be well-measured as any response can be.

    If I were Obama I'd be putting forth an executive order that the President can no longer declare war without house and senate backing (even for the limited amount of time he/she can now) and that the use of Nuclear devices has to have a majority agreement in the house and senate.

    I'd publicly do that, right now. Just to drive it home. Let Hillary repeal it when she gets in office.

    Technically it is up to Congress and really the president has limited ability to commit forces without approval. Nuclear devices tend to be marked retaliation only. But that gets hazy.

    Though Obama did set up a new precedent of going to Congress for the Libya intervention and with Syria. He refused to act without authorization which is something no president has done for a long long time.

    It may be up to Congress to full declare war, but it is the President and ONLY the President who has the power to authorize/order the release and use of nuclear weapons.

    And without getting into secure details, I will say that there isn't really a system in place to slap the President's (potentially tiny and cheeto colored) hand when he reaches out in a fit of pique because some mean woman said a mean thing about him. This is what scares me.

    Do you, in fact, have any builds in this shop at all?

    so on this point, with Donald's oh so wonderful temperament being what it is, there is a process to launching nukes right? there are generals or watch commanders or someone who actually has to act on the order. we all know it isn't a literal fucking button, and as much as Donald will want to launch at the merest slight against himself, there's a chain of command that will stop it from happening, yes?

    Read that Katy Tur article and then watched her interview with Trump when he kicked off in the primary. Dunno how I missed this the first time around.

    Trump was going full nutcase today apparently.

    America used to control the internet, but because of Hillary, now it doesn't. And she's acid washing her e-mails because she's probably being hacked all over. So you better be keeping a close eye on the voting machines and inspecting them personally to make sure nobody's voting for her. And have we talked about her cattle investments yet?

    It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so horrifying.
