The Guardian has a story detailing the firing of Christopher Krebs, who served as the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa)

President Trump made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, saying Krebs "has been terminated" and that his recent statement defending the security of the election was "highly inaccurate".

CISA last week released a statement refuting claims of widespread voter fraud. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," the statement read. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

Krebs, is a former Microsoft executive, and was appointed by President Trump after allegations of Russian interference with the 2016 election.

    Maybe I'm misreading TMB's first post, but I read it as sarcasm. Either way, Poe's Law is in full effect.

    Every single time I think TMB is trolling he claims to be serious, and frequently his serious posts look like trolling. I think he is more influenced by propaganda and conspiracy crap than he thinks. I haven't seen a single person say voting machines are trustworthy, so he is probably mixing in some of his amger about the election.

    Bonus, he will just deny any support of Trump and NOTHING ever upsets him; even when many things obviously upset him. He might be almost entirely detached from his own emotional states.
