That everyone is just sitting back watching private citizens openly hacking into government systems shows what dangerous times we live in.
That their made-up “agency” is named after a canine internet meme shows what stupid times we live in.

Physical control over key buildings is a major factor in whether coups succeed and Dems need a better plan than what they've done so far. Elon Musk even bragged about his plan before he did it.
