Gabbard’s team dismissed scrutiny as “bigoted” and politically motivated.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They could really use prophylactics though
I was going to comment a joke saying that it must have been "Iminacult1234" only to find out that it was actually a reference to her cult. She shouldn't be anywhere near power.
The password to her luggage is 12345
Shit, I need to change the password on my luggage....
(That joke hasn't aged well, because the TSA has keys to unlock all our luggage now....)
You can just jam a ballpoint pen through most zippers then zip back over it to reclose leaving the lock undisturbed.
Yeah. A zipper on luggage you care about, is pretty stupid.
Those locks were never very secure in the first place.
Only if you use a TSA lock. And those TSA keys started as a collection of keys that were just commonly reused across locks, so people kept them around.
I'm pretty sure the keys got leaked online and you can 3d print copies for yourself
When you have a model number or entire brands or multiple brands that are all keyed alike and sold publicly, it hardly counts as a leak. You could go to Walmart and find them there too. Even before they were called TSA keys.
So the combination is one, two, three, four, five. That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5?! That’s amazing! I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!
Yes, the password was "hunter2"
Wow she can use a computer? I'm actually legitimately impressed. Already a leg up on many politicians.

Investigating Republicans for doing the exact things they say other people do would be a very easy job.
Holy shaddrah these people are bad
Blyat!
I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes!
(There is no indication that she used the password on government accounts.)
Why do we care then?
MOST PEOPLE re-use passwords for everything. Most people use the most-used passwords in every data breach as their passwords. Stuff like this shouldn't surprise anyone. Most members of government likely don't even know what 2FA is, and likely use Password123 as their password. They're not known for being tech wiz's.
Buttery males!
Of course she did. She doesn’t want to make it hard for Putin.

Surely they are making a fuss, who would be interested in targeting the head of national security to one of the biggest countries (and most hated by easterners) on Earth?
Meh, I use the same super-weak password for tons of sites I don’t give a flying fuck about.
I took all the military opsec and infosec courses, because I was in intel, and my partner is currently an IT security professional, but some accounts just don’t warrant giving a damn.
I don’t use it for anything important, I let my password manager handle those, but bullshit “create an account to checkout” stuff that I use another payment system for? Meh.
This doesn’t seem like news, beyond looking for something to report on.
National what?
