He also wasn’t a whistleblower he was just downloading scholarly articles from a service he had legal access to use.

The theory that he would be murdered over this is pretty wild as any college student or person with a JSTOR account has access to these same articles, so what necessitates murder in Aaron’s situation? He wasn’t exposing anyone or anything. It was just some douche of a federal employee trying to advance his career by “making an example” out of some kid who arguably didn’t even do anything illegal.

If you want to say they’re inexperienced, then just do it.

Wouldn’t that be “ageism” too? What a ridiculous argument.

The difference here is that we’re not in a cold war with Canada or France.

saving this one nation isn’t worth the increased risk of a nuclear exchange.

If a nuclear exchange happens anywhere, I imagine every country on the planet is going to be affected by it, so you might as well protect yourself.

In the sense that they’re not going to be “the victor” in this conflict but I do agree they’re more than willing to be a mouthpiece for the US government.

I get that but CNN is just a bystander in this conflict. It’s just irritating to see and helps validate all the “MSM fake news” bullshit you see online.

I had some nutjob on a local group tell me that Trump has removed federal taxes as if I and everyone else can’t clearly see that we’re still paying the same federal taxes on my paystubs. I can’t believe how brainwashed some people have become.

Also tangentially related but I filled out my tax return today and owe a lot more this year thanks to his bullshit 2018 tax bill that capped SALT deductions, removed the child tax credit, and only gave temporary cuts to people who aren’t in the 1%. I can only imagine that his supporters are either retired, unemployed, or on social security to also not realize how much more he’s forcing us to pay to the government.

I don’t know if him opening the dams flooded any farms, but come summertime, they’re going to be hurting as the reservoirs empty out long before they should have.

Project Veritas, the conservative nonprofit that goes undercover to expose manufacture what it sees as wrongdoing.

Fixed that bit for them. Project Veritas goes undercover to record a bunch of video that it later splices together to invent a narrative that was never there.

Also because there’s nothing to compel these landlords into telling you the truth.

Why is CNN calling this an “operation” and not the “terrorist attack” that it is?

Especially those people who claimed “it’s the most important election in our lifetime.” They should be outraged that Biden and then Harris, knowing what was at stake, chosen to ignore their base and the American people in favor of some wholly corrupt foreign government. This was low hanging fruit that they left to rot.

I think the bots have arrived in force. Maybe Trump and Musk were so confident about their win prior to November 6th because they had an army of LLM bots online shaping everyone’s opinion.

Looks at that. The previous commentor said it’s “all about timing” and “during the election isn’t the time” and here we are post-election and they’re still downvoting you and refusing to listen to reason just like they have at any given moment over the past 8 years. It’s almost as if it has nothing to do with timing, much like Trump deportations have nothing to do with people having the correct documents.

They want the pro-corporate, diet-fascism and they don’t care how many people they have to alienate or purge from the party to get it. The really weird aspect of this is that they already keep losing elections, yet think that the winning strategy is to push even more people away.

If you think that’s bad, my Denon receiver had to update itself which for some reason fails 100% of the time when using wifi so I had to find the longest ethernet cable I have to connect into the back (or disconnect 20+ wires from the back to move it closer to the network switch) so that it could finish downloading the firmware and complete the update before it would start working again.
