Oh, you did intend the irony then. Sorry. My bad. I forget that not everyone regards the DHS as I do, mainly as a method for starving the federal budget of everything not having to do with soldiers, cops, prisons and spies.
What the DHS was doing in that post was counter-intelligence work, trying to identify, localize and if ordered, neutralize threats to its budget. It's not very good at it now, but it's learning. Soon enough, it will know how to silence its online critics more effectively and use its powers to keep its massive incompetence officially secret. It's got a way to go yet, so in the meantime, enjoy the parade of Kool-aid drinkers as they wander through.

It only gets worse from here on down.
