Incompetent MAGA chickens coming home to roost

djt has made clear his first priority is loyalty to himself above all other things and people. Many of his important picks for powerful positions in government have far too little training or experience for the jobs they have been put in. But they are loyal to him. With incompetent people in positions of great government power and no real idea of what they are doing, it is reasonable to expect major mistakes and failures.

One of djt's early incompetent moves after being sworn into office was to dismantle US cybersecurity defenses. 

Wired magazine reports that The federal judiciary's electronic case management system (CM/ECF) had a major cyberattack. It was discovered around July 4, 2025, but kept hidden from the public for over a month. This system, which handles both the Case Management/Electronic Case Files platform is used by legal professionals to upload and manage case documents.

The breach is critically important because it potentially compromised highly sensitive sealed documents, including the identities of confidential informants, cooperating witnesses, sealed indictments, arrest warrants, and other classified materials across multiple federal district courts. At least a dozen district courts in several states are believed to have been directly affected

Intelligence officials have identified Russian involvement others as responsible for the cyberattack. Reports indicate that multiple threat actors may have simultaneously penetrated the system, including nation-state groups from various countries and potentially organized crime organizations. Investigators say this is a persistent, multi-year effort to compromise the system. Some actors have potentially maintained access for years. The targeting appears focused on cases with overseas criminal ties, particularly those involving individuals with Russian and Eastern European surnames.

Guess who is going to be buying up $TRUMP meme coin and then asking djt to stop FBI investigations and DOJ prosecutions? 

(Hint: Criminals with Russian and Eastern European surnames, 

and everyone else with money who wants a political favor) 

Who is to blame?

That depends on how one assigns blame. By MAGA messaging, inflation that occurred during Biden's time in office was 100% Biden's fault because he was in office then. As best I can tell, expert analyses assigned ~4% of the blame on Biden policies. The other ~94% was due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, COVID, and supply chain disruptions, things which were largely or completely out of Biden's control.

Therefore, by that reasoning one should accord 100% of the blame to djt. That's just fair and balanced.
