Yes, absolutely. Also, I’ve said this time and again, don isn’t particularly clever. He’s floods the zone, self promotes, and he has zero conscience so he understands how to identify a mark. Those are his superpowers. What comes out of his “mouth” is genuine insight into his worldview and aims, bc he has relatively no inner executive.Sure he may be trolling
They are *not* Trump's lawyers. That's the point. They're the United States Attorney's Office. They represent the United States, and that entity is not coterminous with the President.Not cool Trump lawyers.
Kind of surprised that the US attorney handles DC crimes. DC has their own police force and other services. I would have thought the prosecutors office would fall under local control as well.
What is the overall value then of nearly everyone appointed by Donald Trump? What is the overall value of Elon Musk himself? These folks post, say, and do things that are far more eggregious. Is that the level of decision making ability we want controlling every aspect of our government including national security?This is all assuming that the reports are true. I posted the chat screenshots to give some legitimacy to the claims, not because they are unusually explicit. I posted more details from the original article below.
What is the overall value of employees who are so unintelligent that they would think it acceptable to use a tool dedicated to intelligence related to national security for personal chat of any kind? I have occasional personal chats on MS Teams, but they're one-on-one, not on a general, public board.
Second, what is the overall value of employees who are so unaware that they not only waste an intelligence community board for personal chat, but explicit personal chat (some detail below).
Are these really the quality of people, and level of decision making ability, we want working in national security?
One popular chat topic was male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and turning it into an artificial vagina. “[M]ine is everything,” said one male who claimed to have had gender reconstruction surgery. “’ve found that i like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.” Another intelligence official boasted that genital surgery allowed him “to wear leggings or bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.”
These employees discussed hair removal, estrogen injections, and the experience of sexual pleasure post-castration. “[G]etting my butthole zapped by a laser was . . . shocking,” said one transgender-identifying intel employee who spent thousands on hair removal. “Look, I just enjoy helping other people experience boobs,” said another about estrogen treatments. “[O]ne of the weirdest things that gives me euphoria is when i pee, i don’t have to push anything down to make sure it aims right,” a Defense Intelligence Agency employee added.
I don't think its a big deal. You are going to want National Security types discussing non work related things on these encrypted channels for a couple of reasons.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.
Would you have a better day if I changed it to Trump appointed lawyer?They are *not* Trump's lawyers. That's the point. They're the United States Attorney's Office. They represent the United States, and that entity is not coterminous with the President.
I would have a better day if the people he appointed understood this. But if they had understood it, he never would've appointed them to begin with.Would you have a better day if I changed it to Trump appointed lawyer?
I knew it !!! I knew !!!“… Deltek data indicates VA awarded $9.7 billion in contract obligations to service-disabled, veteran-owned businesses in federal fiscal year 2024, which equates to 14.3% of VA's $67.6 billion in total contract spend.
… Of the $81.1 million in savings claimed by DOGE, cuts to veteran-owned small businesses accounted for 89.2% of the claimed savings.
In looking at the total contract value, the cancellations of contracts held by the veteran-owned small businesses represented 81.7% of the $148.6 million in claimed cuts.
Five of the contracts are held by large businesses. One large business holds two of those contracts. The total awarded value is $19 million and DOGE expects savings of $606,000.
One nonprofit company and one woman-owned small business also saw their contracts cancelled.
In his X posting, Collins said that millions of dollars of contracts have been spent on consultants who are developing PowerPoint and taking meeting minutes.
“Folks, if you don’t know how to run PowerPoint slides learn. It’s a tutorial on your computer,” Collins said on his video.
But after looking at the DOGE database and its connection into the Federal Procurement Data System, it is hard to discern if any of the so-far cancelled contracts are for PowerPoint and notetaking. …”
