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!

If foreign actors were breaking into these systems, in the same manner that Musk and his cadre of techno brownshirts are right now, they would be dragged out into the street and executed.
The least we can do is hold this administration accountable for who these people are and what steps are being taken to document what they are doing and what security measures are being followed. Of course none of that is being done. The brownshirts are anonymous, unvetted and unaccountable. Their actions are not being documented. They are not following any security procedures. Remember the years of outrage Fox and its NPC audience lathered on about the security implications of Hillary’s private email server? What is happening right now is many orders of magnitude more dangerous and insecure and illegal. It has profound and direct implications for every American right now.
We need to stop hoping for a legal resolution to the violence being perpetrated by this administration and its private wrecking crew headed by Elon Musk. We need to identify the actors, dox them. Physically intervene if needed. Every fucking elected Democrat should be spitting into a microphone, today.
Again, imagine a foreign actor riffling through these sensitive systems. If you take comfort in knowing that the president and Musk would never let a foreign actor have such access, then you should be more freaked out than anyone given the unaccountable way this is going down. How do you know that Musk’s organization isn’t compromised?
Technically he's South African...which makes him literally a foreign agent
