Oh, shut the hell up. You damn well that kidnapping college students off the streets to send them to prison labor camps is SEVERAL STEPS beyond anything that happened in the past.

For real, fuck off. Do something productive. Be better.

And also, be less of a pathetic liar. Obama did not invent the phrase "enemy combatant". I was there when GWB used it every damn day.

They are supposed to have rigorous, thorough training about what types of channels are considered secure and legal, and which types of communications are secret, top secret, confidential, etc.

Discussing war plans is top secret and if the highest ranking members of our military don't understand that, we are all fucked. The thing is, they do know that, but they are obviously choosing to communicate on Signal so that all of their communications are off the record and undiscoverable, which is another primary reason that what they are doing is illegal and immoral.

The precedent has been set. We are playing their game and these are their rules.

No, we need to take over the Democratic party. If you realistically want to actually win as opposed to grandstand.

I think Walz/Ocasio-Cortez would be a much more popular and palatable suggestion for the electorate, even though I personally prefer your proposal

Rallying and engaging people in these states is absolutely crucial to any further strategy. There is nothing they can truly do to fight without tons of popular support. They are trying to reach some of the 90 million people who didn't care enough to vote last year, to ask them to start caring.

It's honestly the very best thing they can use their platform to do right now.

You're getting downvoted but it's important that we remember this. She's hot, she's white, she's an actress. She said herself she thinks it's thanks to her friends and family working with the media that she got released at all. I bet she'd agree with you that being white played into her favor here.

Think about all the people who don't have those types of resources or public empathy points. We have no idea who is actually locked up right now or what will happen to them.

You sound triggered. Take a break.

No. The biggest mainstream players in social media are all already aligned with the current administration. Meta et al. would be the ones to be available for free, and alternatives will be paywalled.

Probably figured they could get married real quick and everything would be fine, "Trump's only going after the thieves and rapists".

That's exactly who he is trying to appeal to.
