The Trump team would like to do a federal takeover of our cell phones to "protect" us against the Chinese. Uh, no.

Oh I'll keep your phones safe alright, you can trust me.
Courtesy of Axios:  

Trump national security officials are considering an unprecedented federal takeover of a portion of the nation’s mobile network to guard against China, according to sensitive documents obtained by Axios. 

Why it matters: We’ve got our hands on a PowerPoint deck and a memo — both produced by a senior National Security Council official — which were presented recently to senior officials at other agencies in the Trump administration. 

The main points: The documents say America needs a centralized nationwide 5G network within three years. There'll be a fierce debate inside the Trump administration — and an outcry from the industry — over the next 6-8 months over how such a network is built and paid for. 

The proposal apparently offers two different plans for protecting cell phones, one involves nationalizing the industry, while the others has the cell phone companies competing with each other to provide safe, hack resistant 5G network.

However sources say option number two is really not the goal as the administration sees only a government controlled network as being "safe."

It seems clear to me that the choices are really to risk the possibility that the Chinese might hack our phones, or hand our service over to the Trump Administration and insure that the Russians will definitely hack our phones.

Keep in mind that this guy does NOT work for us.

Just take a moment to imagine the incredible Right Wing backlash that would have occurred if President Obama had even suggested something remotely similar to this.

They would STILL be screaming about it.

    My God. What's next-taking guns away from liberals? I'm sure that ALEC has bills all over the country taking away my right to vote. They think so little of us women that taking our health care away and our ability to work safely without being groped is not enough-they want our voices silenced as well.

    2. The Republicans are lobbying the Supreme Court to allow Pennsylvania's unconstitutional gerrymandered maps to stay in place for 2018 and 2020 until after the census to be redrawn. They claim there is no hurry to redraw them. Thus taking away the Democrats right to fair representation, I.E. taking away their votes.

    The government has proven over centuries it fucks up everything t touches. That said, while the Chinese are exponentially more dangerous than the Russians, both pretty much has the ability to get any info.

    China already owns Hollywood and Richard Gere has no career because he voiced his worry over that. China makes Russia look like Disney.

    "... to provide safe, hack resistant 5G network."

    Such a thing does not exist. It has been proven over and over that anything can be hacked. If that weren't true, why wouldn't the focus be on "hack resistant elections?"

    No, he doesn't, and neither do the Republicans. But neither do the corporate Democrats, you fool.
