In response to the reporters’ filing on Elon Musk’s security clearance details, the network received an email that read, “Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team.” Musk’s security clearance has been a hot topic in the media as his DOGE team has gained access to sensitive data across the federal government.

      Yes. It’s time to unalive your local Nazis. Remember that these people could be impeached/convicted and removed from office in under 24 hours, but every single Republican has chosen to support the Nazi cause instead.

      The 14th Amendment states that people exactly like Trump have a “disability” that prevents them from holding office, which can be removed by congress. It also states that congress has the power to enforce it. The criteria for this disability is listed in the amendment.

      The moment that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court swore in Donald Trump as President, while Congress refused to enforce the Constitution, all three branches of our Federal government conspired to overthrow the US Constitution.

      If we don’t even follow the Constitution, then we are truly a lawless country.

      MSMS have always shilled for the right with more airtime, they only try to look balanced, when they are showing the gop as a victim of the “left”, and always portraying D in such a way that gop are not the aggressors.

        The right produces more outrage fodder and instead of dismissing it and getting on with the actual news (what they’re trying to distract us from) they indulge it and talk about it with 4-10 panelists.

        It’s hard sometimes to know if it’s malicious or incompetence. I think it started with incompetence because it was more profitable to be lazy and it’s just malicious now … as apparently almost every major news outlet is owned by a billionaire.

          It’s always been about the class divide. One of the sides went too far this time so it’ll at least be interesting to watch the fallout.

          Also not both sides-ing, Republicans are authentic fascists, but dems are content to sit on their hands and complain they have no power when Republicans have been effectively obstructing government as the minority for ages.

    Got to wonder what some lawyer told them was going have them bent over to suddenly say Musk is just an advisor with no authority and try and erase things like this. I’m guessing we find out soon enough while Donnie tries to scramble to gaslight everyone about what he said before.

      Isn’t this something that the fed worker union should respond with strike action or something?

          But I don’t make the decisions.

          Yes you do. You absolutely make the decision of whether you, personally, comply or fight.

            I am in no position to make any decisions at all, I am a lowly engineer, who doesn’t even work on-site at the facility i work at. The most i can do is support my colleagues on-site who are actually being questioned in person.

              Being a contractor or low in the chain of command is not an excuse. Remember, even the lowly guards as the camps got held accountable despite “just following orders.”

              Being off-site and therefore physically unable to intervene, on the other hand, is an excuse. But you still ought to do what you can to lock them out of systems/refuse commands/save deleted data/etc.

                Are you seriously comparing being an engineer to a guard in a nazi camp? Get out of here with that bullshit. I can’t take anything you say seriously.
