It's not ridiculous but what is ridiculous is any notion that the population of Greenland lacks self-determination.  If they should vote to become a possession of the US so be it.  The way the issue is portrayed by the media is that somehow the US will forcibly take over Greenland.  That is ridiculous and a sign of Trump derangement.  

 

I've got to say, that you have got the attention of my senses, since you started posting in this topic, @73 Reds .

 

Thank you for that, @73 Reds.

The housecleaning at CISA is long, long overdue:

 

https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/cisa-staff-report6-26-23.pdf

 

In the years since its creation, CISA metastasized into the nerve center of the federal government’s domestic surveillance and censorship operations on social media.

 

CISA moved its censorship operation to a CISA-funded non-profit after CISA

and the Biden Administration were sued in federal court, implicitly admitting that its censorship activities are unconstitutional.

 

CISA wanted to use the same CISA-funded non-profit as its mouthpiece

to “avoid the appearance of government propaganda.”

 Again you are right as far as need for revamping systems to make them more apolitical….1) they need to be made under the context of keeping our country safe asap paramount…2) and , no offense intended, I am not a Trumpian zealot like you… I have a very heathy distrust of both sides and this new weaponization committee seems like politics as usual.

Let's see what illegal acts they pull, like the last Biden regime's favorite tricks, such as constant spying on American citizens and actively surpressing the First Amendment.

 

The housecleaning of the leadership was well earned.

Just to unpack this a little bit. CISA - the agency started by DJT during his first term - had a mission that followed the roadmap laid out in 2018, including the presence of a non-profit. So DJT hated the very thing he created and approved that Biden just allowed to happen. What irony. 

 

This report widely cites reports by an OIG investigation done in 2024 (before DJT 2.0). The very same OIG that was fired by DJT 2.0. Feels like there is an Inception-level irony here. 

 

Let us not ignore the fact that while Biden Admin got sued, SCOTUS dismissed the case. 

 

I don't like the expansion of CISA beyond the few very narrow specific things, but to lay this at the feet of dems is disingenuous.

Cubs, have you ever heard the expression... "Consider the source"? Do you ever fact check what you read?

 

But then again, there are those who listen to Trump and believe most (all?) of what he says. The man lies so much you have to wonder about the people who believe what he says. The sorry part of this is that he has sucked in some reasonably smart people as well as the die hard members of his cult.

 

It appears that some here will listen to any far right BS and take it as gospel.

If you haven’t heard MAGA thinks fact checking is evil.
