I wonder if, now that they've seen the direct consequences of Trump's wreckless hate speech and shit-stirring, will the supporters of Trump here finally denounce him?
Or will they dig their heels in further and continue to support this scumbag no matter how much blood they get on their hands?
No prizes for guessing correctly. Hint: The post below yours is an indication of where Trump supporters will be heading.
And it's "reckless".

Something on the lighter side.
'Owner of MAGA-Friendly Yelp Knockoff Threatens to Call FBI After Researcher Exposes Security Holes'
The rollout of a Yelp-like phone app aimed at helping Donald Trump’s supporters find businesses friendly to MAGA-hat wearing chuds is going about as well as you’d imagine.
After security flaws in the app were made public Monday night, the developer behind “63red Safe” flipped his shit online and threatened to sic the FBI on the researcher who had outed its sloppy source code.
...
A French researcher who goes by the Mr. Robot-themed handle Elliot Alderson tweeted that they’d reviewed the Android build of the app and discovered several urgent issues—the first being that the credentials of the app’s designer, Scott Wallace, appeared hard-coded into the application itself.
Alderson also found there was no authentication required to access 63red’s backend API, meaning essentially anyone could download the purportedly private information of its users, including their user IDs, email addresses, profile pictures, and more. More than 4,400 users had created a profile on the app so far, they said.
Alderson also noted that, given the unsecured API, it would likely be simple to download the entire user database en masse.
“Do not use this app, your personal security is at risk,” Alderson concluded. 63red was not pleased.
The company fired back on Tuesday with what begins as very Facebook-esque response, promising that it takes its security “very seriously,” that security is its “primary concern,” and that it would continue to improve its “systems in any way possible” to guarantee the safety of its users.
If only it had stopped there.
“As we have seen across the United States, conservatives particularly have come under attack for their political beliefs — verbally, physically, and electronically. This is unacceptable in a free society, and we will take every action to stop it, and assist our users in that as well,” the company said, adding: “We see this person’s illegal and failed attempts to access our database servers as a politically-motivated attack, and will be reporting it to the FBI later today.” (emphasis ours)
It went on to say that the “perpetrator” should be “brought to justice” and that it planned to present its server logs to the authorities “as evidence of a crime.”
To be clear, no apparent crime has been committed here. Nothing was “hacked.” Based on Alderson’s description and 63red’s own statement, it appears the company simply failed to secure its users’ information and its admin left his own credentials visible to the public.

It's my political belief that that's a very shoddy bit of consumer software.
Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.

I do love the understatements that appear on this forum sometimes.

Trump is cornered, with violence on his mind. We must be on red alert
As investigators close in, the president invokes the support of the military, police and vigilantes. This is a perilous moment
What does a megalomaniacal president of the United States do when he’s cornered? We’ll soon find out.
House Democrats are beginning a series of investigations and hearings about Donald Trump. Senate Republicans have begun to desert him. Twelve defected on the wall. Seven refused to back Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.
Almost all have gone on record that they want Robert Mueller’s report made public. That report, not incidentally, appears imminent.
Trump cannot abide losing. His ego can’t contain humiliation. He is incapable of shame.
So what does a cornered Trump do? For starters, he raises the specter of violence against his political opponents.
In an interview with Breitbart News published on Wednesday, Trump noted: “I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough – until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”
In case you missed it, “they” are Trump’s political opponents, including House Democrats and the mainstream media. And the “certain point” could be impeachment but is more likely to be reached if the House investigations reveal crimes Trump committed both before and after he became president.
He is a fucking mad man.

Yeah, yeah, don't get excited. That asshole would have encouraged you to continue to follow the law regardless of your leaders too...

I think the other balls represent the others who have tried to take him down.
