Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.

The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.

Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.

    ARREST MUSK

    How is this confusing?

    Arrest his conspirators. Separate them. Get them to give up their international contact.

    No one is as colossally stupid as these kids are. Unemployment is the least they need to worry about.

      It’s not confusing at all, many of us agree. But who enforces that? The Justice Dept, led by Trump’s other stooge Pam Bondi.

          The world is watching too. It’s easy for me to shout towards the US “do something!” but the rich have got people so economically fucked they’d have to choose between fighting this good fight, or feeding their families.

          When they can’t even feed their families, the choice will be much easier to make.

            That’s honestly what it’s going to take, is a collapse like the French experienced in 1789. It’s not going to be pretty. We have tanks, machine guns, bombs, all kinds of chemical weapons (tear gas is a chemical weapon), etc.

            They’re systematically dismantling everything, including farming and social programs created to help feed poor people. What do they think is going to happen when people can’t eat? There’s a reason Rome did bread and circuses. Feed the masses, entertain them somewhat and they stay relatively complacent. They’re not doing that here.

      Over half the country voted for this. Over half the country thinks he’s doing Lord’s work and is finally making America great again. He’s not getting arrested unless he does something way, way worse than this

        Less than 2/3 of the country voted and less than half of them voted for Trump. Don’t give folks a mandate/credit they didn’t earn.

          You’re totally right. I shouldve said that the majority of voters voted for this circus and from what I can tell still very much support it.

            He still came out under 50% of the popular vote. It was close, but they didn’t win a majority of voters.

            But, yes. Lots of folks cheering for things getting worse.

          Did it ever occur to you to take some goddamn responsibility for what your country is inflicting on the world instead of making excuses? Especially when that excuse is “Hey, most of us just sat on our asses instead of doing the bare minimum to keep a blatant fascist out of power! Don’t blame us!”

            Oh yeah that’ll surely fix everything, for all the people that didn’t want Trump in office to take responsibility for Trump getting into office.

            Did it ever occur to you that maybe instead of berating us from your ivory tower (which I’m inferring from your comment is an ocean away), that maybe extending a helping hand would be more productive?

              I’m not an ocean away. I’m in a country that your glorious leader has repeatedly threatened to annex. And I’m extending a helping hand by boycotting your products in the hopes that your economy collapses. I hope to do more but while the people who voted for Trump (or at least didn’t vote against him) are your friends and neighbours that you have plenty of opportunities to talk to and influence I have to do what I can from a distance.

              Thanks for the “ivory tower” comment, though. It’s nice to know what you think of the people who have to suffer for your country’s actions while having no means to directly influence them (unlike yourself.)

                You absolutely sit in an ivory tower when you make comments like that though. You get to absolve yourself of the responsibility you’re trying to lay at the feet of Americans who are also suffering (and who, I might remind you, the majority of which did not want Trump in office) merely because you have the privilege of living somewhere else.

                I can’t control that I was born here, I can’t control that I can’t leave here, and I can’t control that the system is so fucked that I’m basically powerless to change it. Don’t act like you’re better than me because you were lucky enough to be born into (or privileged enough to move into) a better country with a better system. If you do, I have every right to say you sit in an ivory tower.

                The main point though is that this stupid blame game helps no one and just further divides the people getting fucked. Climb on down from your ivory tower and try a word of encouragement instead, or if that’s too much for you, just don’t say anything. Whatever you do though, please stop driving the wedge further between the people getting fucked, because that’s exactly what the assholes in power want.

                  Don’t worry. This person lives in a country that votes at similar levels to the one they’re criticizing. This is a person who probably did nothing about everything their own country and the one they’re criticizing has done before. But now that it feels like it matters to them, it’s time to blame other folks and lash out.

            Did it ever occur to you that framing and context matters to people? That some are more motivated to push back and resist when they see there are more people on their side than not? That the minority that elected the blatant fascist are keenly invested in promoting the idea that they have a mandate to do the things they’re doing? That the protests, lawsuits, and acts of resistance are spurred by recognizing this isn’t what the majority want? Don’t confuse speaking the truth with making excuses.

        Honestly, I don’t believe he won. There are computer scientists who are saying that it was 100% rigged. If you think about it for more than 2 seconds it’s easy to see that Trump shouldn’t be president. I’ll die on this hill.

            her campaign underestimated the mysogyny and racism of latinos, and conservative black men, i used to follow some asian youtubers who were originally willing listening to the other side, but are still right wing, after covid hit they went all in with trump and conspiracies, actually most of it was due to female employee(and past ones) they mistreated, she wasnt playing ball with the owners so they bullied the sht out of her years and not toe-ing the line of thier rants. both are pretty socially conservative,as are asian voters. dint make her look better hanging out with cheney.
