You say exploit I say feature.
Something something Hillary E-Mails something something lock her up. Does this mean we can lock up Trump now?
Hahaha consequences, like most big scary 4-syllable words, stick to Dumpty Trumpy like water off a duck's back.
Honestly? We really should be chanting to Lock Him Up by now. Seemed to work pretty well for them
SO MUCH TEETH
Does anyone know? Is it people just emailing [email protected]?
Certainly seems that way, and I can only think of 3 reasons for that.
- Incompetence, whoever set it up doesn't know how to limit the email group to only authorized or even just internal-only emails.
- An oversight, same scenario as the first, but just a step missed in the setup process as opposed to incompetence.
- Whoever set it up purposely didn't set it up correctly so this exact scenario would occur.
I'm guessing they opened it up so people from DOGE could send email blasts to all federal employees without going through the normal agency channels, and they couldn't figure out how to whitelist just one address, so they just opened it up to everyone and hoped nobody would notice.
Sounds like the sort of "innovation" you would expect from tech bros like Musk.
This is bloody beautiful.
I love it, however it also applies to pretty much every job I've ever had and I've never had a government job.
