Leakers to Musk: We’re ‘not Elon’s servants’
(www.politico.com)
Fuck yeah. Keep it going.
Speaking as a Federal employee myself, this is now the 4th president I'm serving under. Some of my colleagues have seen more come and go. We were here before Elon and we will be here after.
Well at the rate things are going, you might not be there after; sadly.
You've served under 4 presidents. How many dictators?
The same one twice
Anti Edward Snowden energy. Who are we to think we are entitled to know what our government is doing.
Last I checked we are the people, you know, the ones the government is supposed to be of, by, and for?
I worry the felon and his fella Elon didn't bat an eyelash at breaking that rule too.
I mean they're not unique in that, there's that Princeton study that came out a few years ago that shows Congress has a flat 30% chance of passing a law regardless of whether public opinion likes or hates it, but a much higher chance to pass laws when the wealthy want it.
Edward Snowden did everything right except stick around to bravely face the consequences.
The US was founded by people who rejected taxation without representation. And yet now even people who work for the government feel they have no legal voice.
Yeah, they would have thrown him in prison for life, or tried to execute him. That'll show em am i right?
They would have tried to get him to walk things back for a plea deal, and when that failed, lock him up for around 15 years. He would have been let out early on good behavior.
More likely still be sitting in Leavenworth, if not Guantanamo Bay.
Manning was ultimately sentenced to 35 years in prison. Her sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama 2017, after she had served for seven years.
Actually, given the timing and who has been POTUS since 2013, you’re probably right about Leavenworth.
LOL, I actually googled Chelsea prior to writing my comment as well for reference
Yeah sounds like he made the bad decision here. Give me a fucking break. You’re delusional.
They keep talking about free speech and transparency and then doing this shit. I hate how Damn stupid their base is. They have to be mentally ill or lead in the water
why not both?
This is what heroes look like.
Let me guess. He’s TRACING….TRACING…..ENHANCE….ENHANlolfuckthissnowflakebitch
