A DHS agency said America’s elections were secure. So Trump fired its leader.
President Donald Trump fired Chris Krebs, who led the Homeland Security Department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Tuesday evening — days after the agency, which is in charge of protecting elections, called the 2020 presidential election “the most secure in American history.”
Trump did so because the agency’s — and Krebs’s personal — defense of the integrity of the elections punctures Trump’s baseless claim that the election was stolen from him.
CISA’s statement rebutted many of the conspiracy theories Trump has used to claim there was some sort of wrongdoing, and said, in part, “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.”
On Tuesday evening, Trump dismissed Krebs in a tweet, falsely calling the statement “highly inaccurate” and claiming that because of that, “effective immediately,” Krebs “has been terminated” as CISA direc

I think you're smarter than you appear here so please answer this - when did American elections get secure? 2016 wasn't. It was in all the papers. And Trump refused to do anything about it. Also widely reported.
So how did this happen? -
The statement referred to outside the US interference not in house cheating. They did not monitor Dominion.insinceredawg said:https://www.vox.com/2020/11/18/21573119/chris-krebs-trump-fired-dhs-cisa-election-security

I find it hilarious that this board always takes the word of a pathological liar over professionals who are just doing their job. Do you think Trump would be screaming about voter fraud if he had won?

There are no professionals left. It's all one side or the other the same with the courts. That you don't see it is funny.insinceredawg said:I find it hilarious that this board always takes the word of a pathological liar over professionals who are just doing their job.

There are 2 sides. The truth and misinformation/lies. Trump is the king of the latter because he knows his braindead supporters will believe every tin foil hat conspiracy theory he tweets out. From skimming this board over the last two weeks since he got his ass kicked, it appears he is right for once.Sledog said:
