Personal attack? In what universe is "you have a great life" a personal attack? Everything is upside down, I guess.

Let's do this: I did not mean it as a personal attack. I didn't think it was controversial to note that people with less skin in the game find it easier to urge restraint.

I’m just going to chime in with this.

Super, several of your recent posts have come across as antagonistic and aggressive.

No, I’m not going to go back and cite specific posts.

Some of those antagonistic, aggressive posts appeared to be directed at nycfan.

That’s my observation.
 


“…
On Friday, Mulino faces his biggest test since becoming president last summer, in a phone call with Trump, who has made putting the Panama Canal under U.S. control a priority. Trump’s threat has cast Panama into crisis as it confronts its greatest ally over a waterway that is the country’s symbol of independence and generator of wealth. Mulino has vowed that the canal will remain in Panama’s hands.

A pragmatist, Mulino is aware of the asymmetry in power between the U.S. and Panama, a country of four million people that uses the U.S. dollar as its currency and has no regular army, said John Feeley, the former U.S. ambassador to Panama. He said Mulino relies on lawyerly reasoning and doesn’t engage in “populist flag waving.”

… Ultimately, he has little leverage beyond a personal appeal to Trump, some concessions and the rule of law—something he is used to as a lawyer. …”
 

“A representative from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was granted access to the Energy Department’s IT system on Wednesday by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, two people with knowledge of the situation told CNN.

Wright granted access to DOGE representative Luke Farritor — a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern — even over objections from members of the department’s general counsel and chief information offices, the people told CNN. The DOE chief information office is the department’s IT and cybersecurity office.

Members of the general counsel and chief information offices “said this is a bad idea” because Farritor hadn’t had a standard background investigation needed to access the department’s system, one of the people told CNN.

“He’s not cleared to be in DOE, on our systems. None of those things have been done.”

Farritor was granted access to basic IT including email and Microsoft 365, one of the people said. The chief information office only does a small amount of IT and cybersecurity work for the National Nuclear Security Administration, they said, including providing connectivity and running basic internet services for NNSA’s headquarters. It does not run IT systems for the nuclear agency’s labs controlling the nation’s nuclear stockpile.

There are also plans to install a different SpaceX network security engineer as DOE’s new chief information officer, the people told CNN.

… Energy Department employees working at the department under a year have received emails they’ve been deemed to be on probationary status and warned they could be fired immediately. These types of emails have gone out to over 1,000 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency as well.

There are at least 1,000 DOE staff working in relatively new offices in the department created after Biden’s infrastructure and climate laws passed a few years ago, including the Grid Deployment Office – which works on modernizing and securing the nation’s electrical grid. …”
 
Dems need Collins, along with Romney, Murkowski and one more to caucus temporarily with Dems to stop this illegal stuff

I guess it depends on their reaction to any perceived encroachments on their operations. From what I've seen they aren't afraid to get down, so I guess it really boils down to what our armed forces do on and around the border.

If a cartel opens fire on a “run-of-the-mill” National Guard unit, it will soon meet Marines, Rangers, Airborne soldiers, SEALS, Delta, fixed-wing aviators from the Navy, Marines, Air Force, and helicopter units from diverse American military branches.

We’re more likely to see a Gulf of Tonkin incident.

The utter silence of the board’s Republicans today on every topic other than the irrelevant EO attacking trans athletes is quite telling. And pathetic.

Yep. We did have a few posters who popped up several days ago saying that they hadn't been posting because they were "taking a break" from the board. I'd love to hear them defend things like NASA taking down "everything about women" in leadership roles from its websites. Of course they probably agree with it, and they'll never publicly admit it because they know how it sounds.
