Perhaps the only things that outpace the incompetence is their immorality and cruelty.

And that is pretty f-ing disturbing.

quality of competence.

Competence = 0

Incompetence = they just keep outdoing themselves.

Mr. Michaels’ comment about sloppiness from the Trump administration is right on, and parallels the security breach during the attack on the Houthi’s (sp?)

And It starts at the top…

I’ve never used a printer in a hotel business center for anything more sensitive than checking the weather or sports scores.

on a public wifi..it's an open invitation for hackers to steal you blind...Trump's coterie of grossly incompetent assholes makes the Three Stooges look like mental giants...

...just to make Dotard look even MORE INCOMPETENT than he already is???

We already know Russian media is practically giddy about how fantastic Putler was and how bad Dotard looked.

This shit show was just that - a shit show for Russian propaganda, NEVER IN A MILLION years some sort of "peace" deal.

The Hotel Captain Hook?

Cripes... Not The Onion!

TY for sharing.



On edit: It was The Captain Cook, not Hook. Ty, Ocelot for correcting me, although Hook would've been appropriate considering the guests.

It's real; I've seen it. It was named after Captain James Cook, who was the first person to map Alaska's shoreline.

Captain Crook would've been better.

As a kid I stood in line at Disneyland to ride the Peter Pan ride. That phrase was repeated ad nauseum for the forty minutes we were in line. It’s now imprinted in my cells.

I didn’t know about mapping Alaska’s shoreline

It was Juan Gaetano, from Spain, who was the first European to discover Hawaii, in 1552. He named them
Isles de Mesa, or the Table Islands. Even he may not have been the first. Another Spaniard, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos is rumored to have discovered Hawaii in 1542, but has not been confirmed. By the time of Cook's arrival, there was already evidence of Spanish language spoken, and traces of Spanish culture.

Just a side note from a Hawaii expat…

This bunch of amateurs seems to have been chosen specifically for their incompetence.

loyalty to Trump and his wish to tear down U.S. democracy and all its agencies and institutions. Or both, of course. They sure are proceeding apace.

that you're a useless, incompetent buffoon like your Dear Leader.

There numbers were rigged by about 80 pounds. Scales were probably selected
based on DEI.

The outcome is the same

Smh

…or deliberate?

Pootie is terrified of being poisoned.
How does Frump not know this?

... that's why he orders everything from McDonald's.

FFS...

Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's economic advisor and attendee, has been heavily sanctioned by the US Treasury, UK, Australia, NZ, and Taiwan for various nefarious activities. Trump wants to do business with him.

" meeting" was nothing but a farce, like everything else in this travesty of an "Administration."

They even popped Champaign together. These MFs were celebrating.




(Per documents at link)

... like an errant schoolboy who was about to be paddled.

Not a very good one, but even so, why was he and Bessent, the Treasury secretary, at a meeting that's supposed to be about ending the Ukraine war? It's always about money with that crowd.

during his 5 minute speech he was hinting at trade or investment deals.
Maybe Russia will build a $20 trillion Stolichnaya plant in North Dakota.

Unless Trump were to just give it back.

as the impacts of his disastrous reign degrade their lives more and more.

We can turn into a nation of drunken peasants! Winning!

is a Republican Expert-mill tactic, constantly at use in both Trump administrations.

There will be historians who will try to document the crazy things that happened during the Trump years, and they will do it with earnest and all seriousness to show all the abusive things we had to tolerate. But in the end, when it comes time to write the script for the movie it will be events like this one that will make it past the cutting floor and we'll end up with a comedy. But, only if we survive this era.

The sub thrower will also be immortalized.

Even if the MAGAs don't pick it up, everyone will see them for the dopes they are for supporting this mess.

Noh rilly...iss beeg dyeel, right?

-Best to forensically check the documents for fingerprints and semen stains asap!!!

From his Underaged railroad tunnels of Maralago (where he sneaks children off to be sold to other rich people in foreign countries). I doubt they care a whole lot about national security.

The pedo express

Thankfully there was no DEI involved in printing sensitive state documents on a hotel's public printer.

Did they skip the training on this? That's definitely given before the employee even starts. If docs need to be printed, it can be done at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson not some public hotel.

Filet Mignon... I'd love to be able to just afford a small sirloin on the grill again. Thanks, Krasnov.

Oh, and that bald eagle statue probably ends up in a dumpster in Siberia. I can just picture one of those cheap, mass-produced plastic statues that you see in every MAGA tourist trap. The one with the fake ribbon that says "We The People."

a lot…even most…printers keep electronic images of the last xxx number of documents they have printed.

Were they classified docs, or the lunch menu?

Every single news reporter, every single news pundit would go berserk.

Most modern printers have a memory module, often a hard drive of some kind, that stores the last several print jobs.
Anyone that knows what they are doing can print out the last several print jobs. Might be worth the look because you know that it's unlikely they only printed one thing.

like they're not even trying..

Some people say. Fox News

"HIS EXCELLENCY VLADIMIR PUTIN"? Really?

I wake up in the afternoon (habit from a lifetime of night shift work) literally thinking, what has he done today

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even average Joes have I known this for decades.

Or were you making a joke that went over my head?

If so, my apologies.

A number of years ago, Ricoh (office supply company) was selling repurposed printers and it turned out everything anyone had ever printed on them was stored in its memory. Everything it prints is essentially scanned first.

I’ve also dealt with classification issues on submarines

I have never heard of a copier with a hard drive. Not ruling out the possibility of there being one in all the world of electronics, but it’s unlikely. It would be an added cost and additional parts for no good reason.

However , there is a security issue with older copiers. Copiers used to use cylinders coated with selenium (a light reactive metal) to transfer the image from the original to the copier paper. Images of past copies could be lifted from this selenium drum. Therefore the classified copier on board (used mostly by the nuclear trained personnel) had special procedures. One was that when a drum had to be replaced, the old drum was handled as having classified data. Not sure what specifically that entailed; I just changed the drum and handed it off to the radio guys.

Nowadays I’m pretty sure that all copiers are digital, and any copy scanned is just ones and zeroes in a memory chip.

Live and learn; I decided to do research after writing the above. It turns out I’m 💯 wrong. Many modern copiers actually do have hard drives.

“Ready, fire, aim!”


My apologies.

All that being said, our government did run a scam on a Russian office (embassy?) back in the 50s or 60s. They managed to insert a film camera into the copier that handled classified information. It took a picture of everything that got copied. Then, when they suspected the film had run out, they sent a maintenance technician back for “maintenance “ and retrieved the film.

I only knew that because I happened to read a news story many years ago about how copiers needed to be scrubbed before they were sold or leased to someone else. I work at law firms so I took it seriously.

I admit that this is very likely the usual Trump circus incompetence.

But…

What if some people there are horrified at what’s being agreed to, so they’re “losing” sensitive papers on purpose?

Or maybe they’re just goobers.

This luncheon offends me. I am glad that it was cancelled but Putin got to see the menu/invite

and brandy are ingredients in at least two of the dishes?

Papers left behind in a hotel printed revealed the minute-by-minute schedule for the summit. It also showed Trump presenting Putin with a ceremonial gift.

" trump may have given putin some sort of ceremonial gift at this event"

For a would be assassin. Where are the Homicidal maniacs when you need them ......working for Putin and Pedo Trump no doubt.

Good to know that precise locations and times are easily acquired and unclassified when next the 2 meet again. Enemies will be watching more carefully.

Weird that they planned to eat when both psychos are afraid of being poisoned.

If you are an enemy. Russia does love eagles.

Par for the Trump course.
