Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Anyone with 2 connected brain cells understands that:
Trump = Russian asset = Russian infiltration into every aspect of U.S. gov't.
Only a matter of time before Russia and China take over and divvy up the U.S.
Mine are not connected. I don't understand the winning strategy of most billionaires. How do they maintain their wealth when Russia and China take over the USA? How can the people who own the media let Trump be elected if it means that they will lose their wealth?
Their greed makes them think they're untouchable. When Trump and D.C. let Putin & China do whatever they want those that can flee certainly will with all those billions saved in banks around the world.
The billions are not in banks but in shares of US companies. Even the money, if they start to sell billions of dollars the value of the dollar will collapse, taking their wealth with them.
I'm sure they have bank accounts with tremendous amounts and plenty of assets out of country.
Sure, but that doesn't recreate the power and wealth they have in the US. Why should they support Trump if all they get is a reason to leave the USA?
It'll be like Man in the High Castle but it's China and Russia dividing the Americas
I meant to watch that, guess no need now.
#Truth
By the time trump hands over the US there might not be anything left, considering how much has exploded in 4 months
I'm sure there will be a swift response, hahahahaha I can't even finish it. There will be nothing, just Americans rolling over and taking it cause daddy Cheeto said so..
America, again get your fucking house in order.
How?
If you are desperate you could try the Syrian way.
Well, y'all have that whole second amendment, don't you?
You have to stand up and fight the tyranny. Id like to tell you that peaceful things or court action would help, but I think you better start reading up on the second amendment.
America, again get your fucking house in order.
It is genuinely upsetting to watch from the outside as a cold war baby who has visited the states a heap of times and is really fond of the place but this about sums it up.
Every day more of their corrupt illegal treasonous crimes come out and nothing happens. There’s nothing “shocking” about it anymore.
And just remember, there is a starlink connection at the White House. We are so fucked.
The second the Treasury was compromised it was 100% over. The government is basically compromised beyond repair. The entire digital infrastructure is infected it should be considered compromised.
Secure erase and full reinstall.
Omg, USA taking it all in da butt while doing nothing to resist
Treason.
Yes, this is happening. Meanwhile also this is happening: US office that counters foreign disinformation is being eliminated, say officials - a coincidence?
Aside:
“around ten gigabytes of data are, quote, the equivalent of a full stack of encyclopedias worth if someone printed these files as hard copy documents.”
On one hand I hate dumb comparisons like that, on the other hand it's really important for people to understand how little storage actual information, i.e. text/numbers, requires. The whole Bible is less than 5 megabytes - each and every picture you snap on your phone fits it twice! Google's daily dose of your personal user surveillance is probably just a few kilobytes, and is gone around the world and back while your video is still loading. In an internet dominated by high throughput video streaming people need to understand how little storage is required to get perfect data sets. 10GB just might fit all social security records of all US citizens (excl. media of course).
That comparison is way off. Plain text works out to about 677,000 pages per gigabyte and regular printer paper is alot 0.1 mm thick, so 10 GB of data - 6.7 million pages - would make a stack of paper two thirds of a kilometre high.
Even if we're talking image files of scanned text, you're in the neighborhood of 15,000 pages per gigabyte which is probably in the neighborhood of an encyclopedia set, making 10 GB roughly equal to ten encyclopedia sets...
CNN interview: https://youtu.be/TsqgXfrSksI
Drone photos of him, taped to his door.
Threatening him directly. "Talk about this or else."
I love Dan. A true IT nerd hero! His explanations are plausible. And, his lawyer:
"There are others in other agencies who have witnessed things similar to this."
Let that sink in.
"shocking"
Whos shocked? Everyone saw this coming.
Pikachu was shocked.
“Shocking”
Just about the only people who are surprised are also people who don't object.
THIS is HARD PROOF! That the Department Overseeing Foreign Hostile Influence in America needs to be DISBANDED! And DONT worry about your Social Security getting GUTTED!
“The second data point, which is really critical, is that DOGE has also been using Starlink as a means to exfiltrate data,” he continued. “What that means is that, from our understanding, Russia has a direct pipeline of information through Starlink, which means that anything going through Starlink is going to Russia.”
And he was going to help Ukraine with giving them Starlink transceivers. Right.
But the most shocking allegations came from Bakaj, who not only claimed that accounts based in Russia were using newly created DOGE usernames and passwords to access sensitive data, but also directly tied the effort to Elon Musk and his Starlink concerns, which has a relationship with the Kremlin.
“There are two data points that I wanna point out that should give everybody pause,” Bakaj said. “The first thing, what Dan witnessed was that within 15 minutes of DOGE employees creating user accounts, i.e. Usernames and passwords, within 15 minutes of those accounts being created, somebody or something from Russia tried to log in with the right username and right passwords — that is to say — the right credentials. And that happened over 20 times.”
They know who they really work for
