The problem is general federal incompetence at IT. It’s all purchased from best connected deepstate support contractor, you know like Obama’s health care app.

Well, they can use the money they will be saving by not paying out money to non-existent 150 year old pensioners to upgrade their computer systems.

Since their site is unreadable with all of the clutter...
can you tell me if they have an example there?
If that many were sent out surely someone shared their message.

So far, nope.

Aside...if the computers are glitching how are the messages being sent?
Computers do what they're told so somebody told the computers to send out the message.

JMO, YMMV

Glitches? In a computer?

There is no such thing. Something broke if this happened.

Computers are machines that follow instructions. They don’t just start flipping out. The term glitch supposes there are gremlins running up and down the wires. It’s a term used by people who either dont understand the system…or whom the people who run the system deem too ignorant to understand.

Journalists fall under the latter.
