DOGE Now Has Access to the Top US Cybersecurity Agency
  • DOGE has access to nuclear codes DOGE has access to all medical records DOGE has access to everything

    And we should know that we expected Musk to have access to everything because Trump allows it. But, they're allowing a 19-year old, with connections to hacker groups, with access.

    The whole discipline of not sharing information online is practically moot at this point. How can we trust that this kid won't be sharing this kind of information to his connections?

  • We Might Have to “Shut Down the Country” - Anthony Romero, the A.C.L.U.’s executive director, talks about what he thinks could happen if the Trump Administration defies the authority of the courts
  • Yeah but who the hell is going to step up and actually try to stop him? The populace is divided as ever, they can't come together to agree that one guy's totalitarian nature is destroying their livelihoods in all political fields.

    Foreign nations are starting to realize that they may well just be on their own because Trump can't give a single shit to support or engage in peaceful negotiations.

    All republican branches of government are bootlickers who say bold things but will not budge.

    Congress seems to just sit there.

    Democrats seem to only just shout things and threaten authority but to someone who has proven to not address or even acknowledge authority, what good would that all do?

  • i am currently going through a lot. what can i do to keep my sanity and not become depressed?
  • Distractions. You need a lot of them. Good company. Good hobbies. Something.

    It is never a great idea to let your mind wander off for too long, because it'll go places you wouldn't want it to and you'll sometimes just be held down by it.

  • Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?
  • Hangers with those hooks on the sides that I guess are meant to slip the collar of the shirts into? They don't really serve as a good use plus they seem to get tangled with other hangers at times and hang securely anyways. I've seen better hangers at work where there is a strip of some rubber compound on the top sides of each hanger, they hold things much better and I feel that's the more better of the design for a hanger.

  • How would you explain to a date that you have an abusive family and you're the only sane person?
  • I would inform potential dates that there really isn't going to be a family for them to meet and that I am probably the last representative of that family. If they ask me if they're going to have a father-in-law or a mother-in-law, I would tell them it is probably in title only.

    The goal is to spare your dates or would-be newlyweds from getting involved with what drama or dysfunctionality your family has gone through. You are doing your date a huge favor.

  • What was the last truly innovative thing you witnessed?
  • When phones got developed so much, you can virtually do half of the things on them as you would a laptop.

    It sounded like you didn't see what the point things were when they arrived around your time. But I can tell you, the passing 90s and 2000s just straight shot technology faster than we can comprehend.

  • A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances
  • Yeah you guys can play the selective game all you want. It's hypocritcal that you're the same people who probably cancel others for years old twitter statuses, but because a black man said racial things, then it's a different outcome? Where's the consistency?

  • Why do people from Western societies always seem to complain?
  • I see you've asked this very thing and it didn't go over well for you in the other instance.

    America is not entirely immune from the problems you've seen in Europe. Different continents, different sets of problems. America's problem is how it takes any and every chance it has had, to be a more prosperious country and pisses it away by allowing very few rich people and corporations take it entirely over.

    And it is at the expense of the populace. What's there to be grateful for when YOUR country is the one offering free healthcare, when America has pressurized it's people in a 'pay or die' situation?

  • Trump Signs Order Expanding Power Over Independent Agencies Like FCC and SEC
  • I'm believing it's all just a pipe dream now. People are just simply more talk than action. The people who are taking action, are all the wrong people to be taking action. I'm talking the pardoned Jan 6 rioters who've been re-arrested again for surprise - being the criminals that they are.

    Everyone else is either too scared, too knee deep in commitments, misguided, misinformed, tucked in corners somewhere and just lacking the energy.

  • DeJoy announces plans to step down as USPS postmaster general
  • "Completely tried sabotaging mail-in ballots, slowed things down, didn't pay attention to the intimidation that postmen have dealt with, mail got trashed and I didn't care for that either. Now that I ensured my master has gotten another term, I've done did a good job!"

  • Al Sharpton is a racist. Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X he is not.

    You cannot advocate for the rights of your own race while turning around and taking opportunities to speak in public forums about how bad you think the white man is. Can't have it both ways.

    Oh, we got some people who don't think so?

    Here's proof: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-106hconres289ih/html/BILLS-106hconres289ih.htm

    https://www.jacksonsun.com/story/opinion/columnists/2015/01/07/al-sharptons-racial-slurs-get-overlooked/21352389

    Now try and tell me he isn't a racist. I'll take downvotes as admission of guilt.

  • In response to the executive orders, the activist and Baptist minister Rev Al Sharpton announced in January that a council with his organization, the National Action Network, would conduct a study on companies that are ending their DEI policies. By May, the council will select two companies to focus on. Sharpton and his organization will then publicly scrutinize the companies for backing away from their DEI goals.

    “Donald Trump can’t make us buy your stuff. The Senate can’t make us buy your stuff,” Sharpton said at a speech last month. “In the name of Dr [Martin Luther King Jr], we’re going to do what King did.”

    This is my huge takeaway from this entire article. Another opportunity has risen for Sharpton to run his big fat mouth and be the two-faced individual that he is. He's not here because he legitimately cares about the DEI programs, he's here because he knows he can be racist himself in a subtle matter against white people, as he has long been for years.

    The irony.

  • USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them
  • We're going to be seeing this be a trend in these 4 years.

    "YEAH WE'RE GONNA FIRE THESE PEOPLE! DEFUND THE GOVERNMENT! CUT OUT THE DEAD WEIGHT!!!"

    Few days later...

    "Uhhh...uhhh, we need these people! Omg what do we do? uhhhh uhhhh"

    Welp, how about you do the job then if you're going to fire them.
