Serious question. There was nothing covert about this.

Although to be fair, Musk is a dumbass who doesn't care or understand about cyber security, so most likely every competent and willing intelligence agency has access to DOGE information now.

But of course since Musk also has no hiring standards either beyond surface level loyalty, maybe the DOGE kids are just Russian spies or guys with no scruples willing to make a quick buck.

Yep. Not a surprise at all after Trump cut CVE.

How much inspection do McDonalds cheeseburgers really warrant?

The Georgia congresswoman purchased at least tens of thousands of dollars in stock the day before and the day of President Trump’s pause of a sweeping set of tariffs that sent the market soaring.

Open an investigation as if Trump and company care what it finds. Laws aren't stopping them, the constitution isn't stopping them. What makes anyone think an investigation into insider trading will stop them?

Now they’re going after medical journals. No surprise, of course.

Trump doesn’t post - it’s his team of highly educated traitors that do the messaging.

Whatever you think of Trump, the people behind him that actually know what they are doing, are infinitely worse. They make Ezra Levant look like Jagmeet. They are dogmatic win at any costs, burn everything down in the process, people.

If the judiciary doesn’t stop Trump over the next few months, American democracy is dead. It’s the only check left on his power - unless the military decides it is not going to let him continue.

This is crazy Alex Jones level stuff that is happening right now - the kind of crazy #### he talked about during Gulf War 2. Generals killing the president because he was embarking on a power grab. Is this accelerationism or the great reset in action? Seriously, wth is even happening?

We’ve had 80 years of relative tranquility versus what life was like before that (yes, even Korea, Vietnam, GW1 & 2, Afghanistan were mild in comparison). It really does seem that is over now.

It all comes down to:

1. Contempt of Court charge issued by by the Supreme Court
2. Gavin Newsome’s challenge of Trump tariffs not being approved by Congress, and how that relates back to item 1.

That will tell us whether the USA as we knew it still exists in 2025.

If it doesn’t, then the Canadian Federal Election = shuffling chairs on the Titanic. It’s just a matter of time before we are forced to join them (for our resources). Maybe not even as a State, might be worse than that - some form of vassal relationship where we get none of the benefits while they strip us clean.

Two young German travelers expected their Hawaii trip to be the highlight of a months-long world adventure. Instead, their visit ended in handcuffs, jail time, and deportation — a stark reminder of the risks some international visitors face at U.S. borders.

Ugh there is a video showing he is directly responsible for what he wants tweeted. He’s just to fat and has tiny hands to do it himself.

He has to flood the zone or Americans might start to notice that actual bad things are happening.

This the point of the 3rd term discussion. Not to get a 3rd term. To swamp the media with outrage as cover fire.

Larry David lays waste to Bill Maher's dinner with Trump

Imagine my surprise when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler. I had been a vocal critic of his on the radio from the beginning, pretty much predicting everything he was going to do on the road to dictatorship. No one I knew encouraged me to go. “He’s Hitler. He’s a monster.” But eventually I concluded that hate gets us nowhere. I knew I couldn’t change his views, but we need to talk to the other side — even if it has invaded and annexed other countries and committed unspeakable crimes against humanity.

He was wearing a tan suit with a swastika armband and gave me an enthusiastic greeting that caught me off guard. Frankly, it was a warmer greeting than I normally get from my parents, and it was accompanied by a slap on my back. I found the whole thing quite disarming. I joked that I was surprised to see him in a tan suit because if he wore that out, it would be perceived as un-Führer-like. That amused him to no end, and I realized I’d never seen him laugh before. Suddenly he seemed so human. Here I was, prepared to meet Hitler, the one I’d seen and heard — the public Hitler. But this private Hitler was a completely different animal. And oddly enough, this one seemed more authentic, like this was the real Hitler. The whole thing had my head spinning.

But it wasn’t just a one-way street, with the Führer dominating the conversation. He was quite inquisitive and asked me a lot of questions about myself. I told him I had just gone through a brutal breakup with my girlfriend because every time I went someplace without her, she was always insistent that I tell her everything I talked about. I can’t stand having to remember every detail of every conversation. Hitler said he could relate — he hated that, too. “What am I, a secretary?” He advised me it was best not to have any more contact with her or else I’d be right back where I started and eventually I’d have to go through the whole thing all over again. I said it must be easy for a dictator to go through a breakup. He said, “You’d be surprised. There are still feelings.” Hmm … there are still feelings. That really resonated with me. We’re not that different, after all. I thought that if only the world could see this side of him, people might have a completely different opinion.
