Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know it's my own damned fault.

In regards to the five bullet points email, why is no one talking about how OPM is not in the chain of command of any Department, and have no statutory reason to know what federal employees have done. That is the purview of their supervisor up through the Cabinet Secretary.

Serious question, once trump decimates immigrants, legal or otherwise, rolls back the civil rights gains, and effectively destroys civil service, what group is he going after next? Dictators need an enemy to retain power, but the more he destroys, the smaller the circle of the "approved" remains.

Republicans are basically giving the Democrats the mid term elections, if they don't f up in the comms. Get some young people on the national team that knows how information spreads through Millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, whatever. And learn to flood the zone like the RW media does.

Question. Since Elmo is a government employee AND a contractor, and he also bought Twitter (with money tied to KSA), why isn't any Democrat raising the alarm that or filing suit demanding to see the algorithms he used to promote right wing accounts before the elections? Seems like elex interference

The algorithms on the Elmo Network are too much this morning. I need to come here for a little peace

Top Dem on the House Intel Committee Jim Himes says in a statement that he understands that the White House “insisted” on the CIA transmitting the list in an unclassified email

Thoughts about a post I saw on F$B.. Dems need to put systems in place NOW to ensure we still have midterm elections. This must include exposing the RW influencers and mediasphere and who they take marching orders from.

You've got a be f'ing kidding me. If that email was sent without the appropriate end to end encryption, then it's likely our adversaries now have the names of all these employees. And don't think field agents aren't the only ones that can be targeted.

So who's in charge of guarding the prisoners sent to GITMO? The military or ICE/DOJ? And how do we know these are actually dangerous individuals,? Why haven't they been repatriated to their home country at a much smaller cost? And do they have access to consular services?

If the US Attorney is serious about prosecuting people for simply posting the names of federal employees online, there's a guy with a massive platform who did this to a bunch of federal employees last November: www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...

Rankin County friends, do any of you have an opinion (🤣) on Fred Shanks? Gotta be honest, I've seen some of his FB posts and he seems friendly enough, but don't know much about him or his politics.

Damn...... Lots of Elmo stan-bots being deployed on the Twit today. Guess he's taking that pushback seriously.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Since ICE is very publicly announcing apprehensions of violent immigrants here illegally less than a week into the new term, it occurs to me that they knew where these people were for some time, and decided to wait until a new regime, more to their liking, was in office.

If he's not careful, it's gonna be called the Gulf of China. Mexico and Central America aren't beholden to the US, and China has been making inroads in the area. People who do not realize this maybe shouldn't be in foreign policy positions coming up

Elmo's got the algorithm seriously f'd right now. Seeing almost all the dumbest and dangerous accounts right now. It's almost as if Twitter is the embodiment of the effects of Norovirus.

Wanna bet this won't come up in confirmation hearings? www.newsweek.com/tulsi-gabbar...

I'm starting to think people didn't think about long term consequences. www.npr.org/2024/11/23/g...

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

If Jr doesn't work out as the new DEA head, trump has a backup plan.

If Elmo really did encourage people to seek a diagnosis from Grok, then this is medical malpractice, and state medical boards should be demanding investigations.

Consider this: Out of all of trump's picks so far, MAGA Congresscritters and the Russian paid RW media sphere seem to be losing their shit trying to get Gaetz in as AG. Why would you tie yourself to prob the most unqualified and compromised nominee? What don't we know?

I think Biden should direct the DoJ to release as much info as possible about this, and the foreign connection to so many right wing influencers. Tenet Media was just the tip of the iceberg. trump uses these influencers as a proxy press office/ad campaign. 1/ www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

A lot of people are going to express shock when they see images of the National Guard ripping abuelas out of the doors of their homes. But it'll be exactly what they voted for. Many others who voted for it will be cheering. A human rights atrocity is coming to America.

Other than a few, narrow MOS, the US military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. This will be a clumsy, blunt operation that will cause a lot of collateral damage. If he had any thinking adults in the room, they'd reverse this.

If you think this program ended with the fall of the Soviet Union, you don't know that Putin was a high ranking KGB agent, installed by Yelstin, to keep trying to destroy US hegemony. bigthink.com/the-present/...

Do yourself a favor and read this from Fox News contributor Ben Domenech. I’d like to report a murder

In what universe is Matt Gaetz qualified for anything but the sex offender registry? This is a clown show of unforeseen proportions.

The last time my account grew this fast, a dumb guy sued me.

You know, maybe Joe wouldn't have had to cancel student loans if those loans weren't predatory with most lenders offering daily/monthly compounded interests. Just sayin'...

Who else thinks trump is just clowning us with this list of Cabinet appointments, and will pick really dangerous ones once he's sworn in?

With all the talk about trump and Elmo having a falling out over egos, let's not overlook that Vance was Elmo's boy. What's not being said is Vance will work with Elmo (and Thiel). trump is a bridge to get the real leaders in place.

1/3 OMFG IF AN OIL COMPANY IS FUCKING CALLING THE ALARM ON TRUMP'S PLANS TO DESTROY OUR WATER, AIR & PLANET, YOU KNOW WE ARE FUCKING DONE Oil giant ExxonMobil opposes Trump’s plans to pull out of the Paris climate agreement, a company spokesperson told CNN in a statement.

Every time you see an article about raising the full retirement age for Social Security please scream with me, “AGAIN??” The full retirement age of 67 is still being phased in. We get more and more likely to die before collecting. Why not raise the income cap on contributions?!!

Now that trump has a compliant Congress, does anyone think he's all of a sudden going to push to expand SCOTUS, and fill the seats with Heritage Foundation nominees? He'll have a supplicant Congress, especially if they nuke the filibuster.
