• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thank you Barack Hussein Obama for making DOGE a reality

As opposed to believing an anonymous poster on a forum, who provides no links or proof to support their statement?

Very good point!

You should exercise your judgment and intelligence to discern what information to believe and what to disregard. Typically, I am skeptical of content posted on online forums, even if accompanied by a news article.

yes, they can legally have access - and what would take the government years to do, might just be able to be done in less time by highly intelligent persons not part of the swamp.

You are correct that DOGE, under the USDS, can legally access federal data. However, there are specific conditions attached to this. An employee from the USDS may have legal permission to access NSA data, but they must possess the necessary security clearance. Simply being a USDS employee with permission to access NSA data does not entitle them to freely enter an NSA data center and connect their laptop.

Though I cannot speak for others, I am a highly intelligent and experienced professional with 30 years of background in information technology. In my expert opinion, it is not feasible for any team to access all U.S. federal government data within four years.

I understand current republican party thinks every federal government employees are incompetent or part of the "swamp." In reality, many brilliant minds of our generation have chosen to work for the US government because they wish to serve their country. Throughout my 30-year career, I have had the privilege of meeting several of these exceptional individuals who have dedicated their lives to building highly secure information systems for the US government.

But , you don't have to take my word for it; I'm just an anonymous poster online. You can believe whatever you want.

Do the DOGEsters wave a magic wand and have the very best and most modern software that interfaces with decades of government code?
