Politics 🤡 Donald Trump

Blaming Elon as the individual for South Africas past is a low IQ argument.

South Africa’s past is certainly brighter than its future. 10 more years and it will be failed state.

The “Signalgate” lawsuit heard by Judge James Boasberg in Washington DC this afternoon was filed by American Oversight, an independent advocacy group.

The group said its motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) sought to force the Trump administration “to immediately halt any further destruction of critically important federal records regarding the administration’s use of Signal to discuss military planning”, which key figures did in regard to airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, only for national security adviser Mike Waltz to add a journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, to the high-level chat.

“The motion asks the court to order the defendants, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Secretary of State and acting Archivist Marco Rubio, to comply with their mandatory obligations under the Federal Records Act.”

Bizarre as it may sound, Rubio is indeedthe acting national archivist – as well as secretary of state and head of USAid.

As reported by Politico, Judge Boasberg this afternoon granted the TRO, “order[ing] the agencies who participated in the Signalgate chat to preserve all Signal messages between 11-15 March and to provide an update to the court about efforts to do so”.

Chioma Chukwu, interim executive director of American Oversight, said: “Using disappearing messaging apps to plan highly sensitive military operations isn’t just a transparency problem – it’s a national security crisis and potentially criminal.

“These officials chose platforms specifically designed to leave no paper trail for decisions that could cost lives and impact global stability.

It's a pretty terrible practice for people working in governance and public sector roles. Removes transparency.

Seems like more identity politics and political character assassination. Blaming Elon as the individual for South Africas past is a low IQ argument.

It’s quite laughable, he publicly supported Kanye Wests president bid (black guy), but now he supports Trump he is a white supremisist? Okayyyy….

Stop listening to ‘experts’ look at what the guy has actually said and done and make this make sense?

You're wildly off the mark as usual

100% facts. Can’t deny that.

Are you saying the white supremiscist didn’t support a black guy to be president?

Doesn’t fit the mark your lefties mates are building in the their PR hit job but it’s an inconvenient fact!

We should all practices objective independent thinking about the issues instead of just rabbit holing opinions that support your world view.

Masked ICE agents are now snatching dissidents off the streets like a scene from Stalin’s Russia. This isn’t speculative fiction. It’s happening right now, in America…

Hard to believe this is happening. Interesting looking at the comments with some saying the only way to counter this is violence. That country is a ticking time bomb

What’s the difference between a dissident and a foreign agitator? Citizenship

Well ones an institution and the other is a noun for starters.

What does “identity hidden” mean?

Pretty self explanatory what hidden identity is if you watched the footage. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s terrorism. Terrorism in its broadest sense is violence to achieve a political gain. The same outcome of violence is achieved in fear with how they bombard the woman all with their identity hidden. What’s the reason for the masks?

To avoid people coming after your families. + LE always follow military. Ski masks and neck socks have been a thing since I was in. Look at all the Russia / Ukraine footage. Everyone wears face coverings now.

And by your definition, a police crackdown on criminals is “terrorism”. Doesn’t make rational sense.

Go to Hong Kong and organise dissident rallies as a foreign national and see what happens

What rally did she organise to get kidnapped? What charges have been laid against her?

Yeah Gandhi was a tyrant. Was assassinated like Indira Gandhi, but both at opposite ends of the spectrum. No relation to each other, but history certainly views them differently too

They should just go back to the white hoods and robes of the past. Duterte was his own judge, jury and executioner as to who he deemed criminals and he just celebrated his 80th birthday in detention. He’s an example of the direction this sort of power can go
