👍 thanks for the reply. I understand your position.

No. I am asking if you find the actions of both presidents to be illegal?

In the time since Hamas attacked Israel, which president ordered US military personnel to drop ordnance on foreign territory? Israel has been acting with carte blanche with both administrations.

My 2 cents, rather than talking process, call out his hypocrisy on avoiding endless wars, acting unilaterally tonight, cutting funding for CISA in his big bullshit bill and ask the voters if this helps their daily lives

Did you watch the news today? Are you supporting today’s actions?

And Mitch.

Yawn. Ok.

Well in fairness, quoting her is proof she is utterly unqualified for the job (with no experience in military or national intelligence), but Susan Collins confirmed her.

Why aren’t municipal & state law enforcement entities zealously watching these masked males for traffic violations? Why aren’t traffic control and sobriety check points in place to verify these people are safe to interact with the public? I wouldn’t lose sleep if their commute was 2 hours each way.

Or witchcraft, sorcery, or “outer space people.” And if they think they like the result, then it becomes “God’s will.”

Edited: Why don’t we have more trains, that run on reliable schedule in multiple cities? I am a regular user of the Metro in DC & subway in NYC, but I have given up on my hometown Denver’s light rail system. Essentially 8 routes to run, but the schedule it too unreliable for getting to work.

I said have a blessed day. He seemed to get angrier. 🤷‍♂️

Saw a similar sign in the south suburbs of Denver. Lots of peaceful energy on the sidewalks and support from most drivers. The angry drivers were not surprisingly 50+ year old white folks (like me) who were mad at my sign.

Meh. It’s the Rockies and @rockies.com have a terrible, incompetent owner.

Unfortunately I agree with you, at least for Bednar. He has not been able to win against Dallas or win a game 7. With Dallas missing 2 key players and Avs being healthy, this was a terrible collapse.

I was thinking the same thing. Legislators should offer an amendment to apply the laws to ICE agents and make Republicans vote against it.

This DNI is remarkably slow on the uptake. But in all fairness, she has minimal experience for the job.

Denial to federal buildings could include courthouses. Hard to represent clients if you can’t enter an appearance, unless a critical mass of Big Law collectively says “enough of this crap.” Hopefully it’s more than a “maybe.”

It would be painfully ironic if the PRC message ended with “Hit us up on Signal, where we monitor your old boss.”

Do you think he is mad he wasn’t invited to be in the small group?

Fabulous!

She has never been one before. She was not qualified for the job, as the world saw today.
comment in response to post
She is not a military intel officer (35A MOS). She has been in a combat medical support unit, a military police officer and a civil affairs officer. No training to be a 35A.
comment in response to post
My bad, meant to add “We should continue to demand they do more, update their practices, choose new / younger leaders. Your comment on the limitations as the minority is accurate.”
comment in response to post
You have a valid point on GOP spinelessness, but voters have been demanding Dems do something. This is a small start, 36 hours into the fiasco.
comment in response to post
All good brother. And like you said, she definitely ought to know better. Not a pillar of credibility today.
comment in response to post
LTC Gabbard was a medical specialist, a military police & a civil affairs officer, all as a member of the Hawaii national guard & Army Reserves. She never worked as an intelligence officer. You’re absolutely right she should know CUI isn’t discussed on personal devices. She isn’t qualified as DNI.
comment in response to post
That is remarkable work. Truly stunning.

It was 5 O’clock (or 5:30) somewhere.

Agreed. His conduct motivated me to subscribe to The Atlantic. I used the savings from my canceled @postopinions.bsky.social subscription. Thanks! #NoballzBezos
comment in response to post
It’s not like these officials weren’t warned. Dems should be asking their GOP colleagues if they also ignore these warnings & share info on Signal, and would they support publishing these unclassified messages to let the voters decide. www.cbsnews.com/news/nsa-sig...
comment in response to post
The Director admitted he doesn’t know when senior officials are in Moscow??? I would have thought this would have been bullet point #1 on his weekly email to Elon justifying his employment. 🤦‍♂️
comment in response to post
To be fair, those aren’t mutually exclusive questions or tactics. Democrats should demand resignations and ask in front of cameras why the GOP is silent when they howled about Hillary.
comment in response to post
Good point. The Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) defines classified information, and materials are a subset of that definition pertaining to things that can be analyzed. Classified Material has been defined in previous presidential executive orders and in the NISPOM.

According to MTG, you can’t ask that question. It’s a HIPAA violation. 😉

It all comes back in a flash. Now where did I put those USB drives I found in the parking lot? 🧐🫢
