Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

I will sleep the sleep of angels knowing that these NSA employees are working hard at (cough) protecting the country. (cough). Again, how dumb do you have to be to post these things on an internal messaging tool?

Another homophone issue — wonder if he dictates these?

Anyway, “just let it all happen and watch” sounds more than a bit like “just lie back and enjoy it”.

Disabling the national security apparatus in this country is precisely the goal Putin tasked her to accomplish.

I don't think the apparatus being discussed is related to national security.

I don't think the apparatus being discussed is related to national security.

Then why are the people being fired?

I am not sure why anyone would use an internal message board at work for personal discussions (maybe because their security systems prevent general internet access all day and they have the same need for discussion as most internet board posters?) but otherwise I am struggling to see the outrage about these discussions among people who have apparently had sex change operations?

Federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE

Federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE

Twenty-one civil service employees have resigned from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they're refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”

I agree that there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with adults discussing these things and infinitely more graphic should they want to.... On their own time and on apps that are not internal to the NSA and intended for intelligence community use.

I would think...but maybe I'm insane...that i would weigh out the overall value of the employees versus the obviously inappropriate use of work assets. There are tools to discipline poor work behavior that fall short of termination. However, I generally think of people as having flaws that lead them to make mistakes when they might otherwise be beneficial to the organization.

What I'm not into is the overall performance art on display here. If you honestly believe that the only inappropriate chats to be found on that same server have to do with trans folks, then I don't know what to tell ya.

Also, trusting Tulsi Gabbard might be even more short sighted than trusting Elon Musk.

Why? If it's not a security issue,( if it is, it's a due process issue) which you say it isn't, then it's a free speech issue. Do you not think that having operatives and agents of different orientation or with an understanding of alternative lifestyles might be more efficient in infiltrating or making contact with a lot of elements than a bunch of white bread males with a stick up their ass? I do.

Honestly if ISIS had made the video it would have looked exactly the same.

I had a similar thought.

I'm waiting for the equivalent of velvet Elvises. Probably gold lame' Trump.

Anyone still supporting the GOP is constitutionally incapable of feeling humiliation.

 

[OGtruthhurts]

Shout-out to any potential Dem voters that sat out (or voted for Trump) over Biden/Harris's handling of the Gaza situation.

Brilliant strategy

isnt that cute.......now how many women and children deaths did biden allow in the area? neither party gives a fuck altho i understand why controlled sheep think differently

Or they have a humiliation fetish. Let's not kink shame, but maybe kink ask "Why?"

 

[ChileG]

Gotta say, if one’s aspirations are Hitler-esque, starving 400,000 kids to death is a bangin’ start.

Just another example for the “I don’t see any harm in anything DOGE is doing,” crowd.

Shut it, worm. You've already admitted your take on politics is meaningless to anybody, including you.

Of course. He can afford to pay anybody's bail while they are waiting for Musk's sub President Trump to pardon them.

Best to just not respond to him. He’s playing a tired, worn out, recycled, pathetic bit that nobody finds clever and adds less value than even the dumbest would-be troll. Best to just let him talk to himself. I think at this point most of us just pity him and hope that he finds the psychiatric help he most likely needs.
