    where is "five or six years ago" from? according to the WSJ who broke the story....

    “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” the account posted in July, according to the Journal’s review of archived posts.
    “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote on X in September. “Normalize Indian hate,” the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley.
    "Elez’s account, @nullllptr—a misspelling of a keyword in the C++ programming language—was deleted in December, "

    Interesting. Do the racist, supremacist, fascist, homophobe, xenophobic cards names change each time they happen?

    Pathetic hiding behind religion. Also a convenient stance to take now that 14 billionaires in Trump’s presidency are making these kinds of decisions. There are no morals at play; you’re just going to ignore it because you want to. Two days ago you said you didn’t want a single racist now it’s “meh, whatever our oligarch’s want as long as they’re our oligarchs.”

    Save us the crap, Mr. Soros. How dare a true oligarch like yourself, or Lawrence Fink, accuse others which you disagree with politically of doing the same due to their wealth, and wealth only.

    Thanks for making an honest attempt to comply with the copyright rules but Gator Country will be held to how the article was originally written. If what you posted was more than 4 original paragraphs it would be a copyright violation.

    Musk’s DOGE teen was fired by cybersecurity firm for leaking company secrets

    Can't make this stuff up. We have teenagers and just out of school interns with no security clearances tearing through previously secure government systems with sensitive data. You have some young, inexperienced and easily influenced developers potentially even writing backdoors for our buddy Musk. Who, I am sure, has only the best intentions towards American's well being and our privacy. It's a cybersecurity nightmare and our enemies are drooling.

    Each federal agency should greet Musk's DOGE with, "Doggie want a bone?"

    Bill, maybe a better way to introduce that story would be "Here's what a Republican senator said. I haven't bothered to see what's true and what isn't. But I see no reason why a highly partisan politician would ever be wrong."

    Usually takes a few days for people to expose these lies Trumpies post about USAID spending. At least that's how long it took with the BS from the '50 million $ Gaza condom' guy.

    Which checks out - how can anyone know what MAGA is going to fabricate in advance....

    Bill, we totally get that it feels nice for you to say "jugular", but you posted an article that peddles some of the same old lies about USAID spending that have already been debunked.

    Do you even read your own articles? Or do you just not know what is in them that's real or fake? Do you care?

    The board and world would probably be better places if you didn't post untrue fake news.

    You can even still say "jugular" without posting the fake news. I'm doing it right now, in fact.


    "Jugular. Jugular. Big ole jugular. Nice jugular. Good jugular. Jugular. Jugular. "

    See?

    Based on the tears from your post…I’d probably check your jugular.

    Why does it bother you that there are people actively opposed to Fascism?

    Okay - you got me. No one ever can be hired who:
    Told an off color joke
    Tried an unrequited kiss
    Got drunk
    Was accused of harassment
    Had an unpaid parking ticket

    For 30+ years everyone kowtowed to Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood… until they didn’t. People put up with crappy behavior of individuals all the time - until the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

    EDIT: Mitt Romney passed all the “clean” tests and more and yet the Left continued to try and smear him. That did it for me. IMO, the Left has shot its wad and has nothing more than “oh, here’s how horrible this or that person is”. After Romney it falls on deaf ears.
