I think the DOD issued the same warning at the same time. From the office of SECDEF. The irony.

God, Sorry. Those MAGA folks are on an audacious tear down here. Send help. Divine intervention may be needed. Thanks, The not crazy folks.

True. It’s illegal to hold such meetings and not document them as part of the public record. BTW, using Signal kind of shows NOT documenting the meeting was the intent.

Sounded like he almost said it, “destroyed”. “Peace through strength”, was a Reagan philosophy. Primarily, having more weapons than “they” have. It did work. Then.

Brilliant observation. Without quoting capital, market, or labor theorists, isn’t it simple enough to understand that human beings are at least as important as theoretical capital or cash in hand?

3/ weapons were worth. This might be a better argument: re-arm Ukraine with the Nuclear Weapons they gave up, and then talk about the price of precious metals. Just trying to be fair and true to what we promised. By treaty. If we can’t honor our treaties, nothing we say or sign means anything…

2/ weapons. It was a treaty signed by Ukraine, US and Russia. It was ratified by congress, so we have gotten a good deal, only sending weapons, when we promised to send troops, to defend Ukraine. I’m thinking than when we demand reparations, we should also consider the value of what the nuclear

1/ That is not the question. The question remains: who keeps the territory of Ukraine? The Russians or the Ukrainians? We signed the Belgrade Treaty, agreeing to protect the territory of Ukraine, militarily. So did the Russians. In exchange, the Ukrainians agreed to give up their nuclear weapons.

I like. Very much. Two different species prove that a lasting friendship can be forged between two different kinds of creatures. I find this is an example of what’s possible between the L and R. Ds and Rs. It can happen, on common ground. I speak from the center. With hope. It’s still possible.

2/ trust funds during the past 40 years. Now that the time to “pay back” those funds, people are resistant. The opinion is that this is “stealing”. I agree. The taxes for these trust funds are owed. They should not be challenged. Stop whining. Raise taxes. Pay the money back. Easy peasy.

David Daraskevich @ddaraskevich.bsky.social · 22/02/2025
1/ I differ a this issue a bit. The debt, and its interest are a result of defense spending that we spent, but did not raise tax rates to collect the needed money. If you track the SS and Medicaid trust funds, the government has collected more than it spent for decades, even “borrowing” from those

World Hunger is a huge challenge. But, what starts to become clear is that the empty belly’s live where no substantial agriculture exists. Quite a problem. Some wisdom would imply that they need to move. What are your thoughts?

MSNBC is not a threat. They do a lot of reporting most of it is excellent. Some left wing opinion boosts. From the center, I say I prefer it to right wing Fox, who sometimes makes reference to stories that are not fact.

That’s delusional, I think. Forcing others to believe what you believe, whether true or not, is a sign of mental illness, or just being a.bully. Unsure.

I’m reminded of a line in a movie, when the meaning of the name, “Abby Normal” becomes relevant. “Abby, abby…someone”. Just believing that something is real does not make it reality. Reality comes from understanding what is factually in our presence. Have some of us lost that understanding?

Not a D. Methinks they do not wish to interfere when the opponent is making a mistake. Many of them. One does not stand in the center of a circular firing(s) squad. That is simple. They appear to be ready and waiting, not for a cue from Mark Cuban, but from another leader. Stand back. Stand by.

Why would one aggressively dismiss and “disgruntle” a large group of government employees who have been expertly trained to coordinate, cooperate, commiserate, communicate, inculcate and commutate in our unified state to remediate any reprobate with an immediate effective date? Hmm…

Honestly, What do you expect from this administration? He is a convicted felon, regardless of any argument. He must impress everyone, even his own followers, if he wishes to remain relevant. Everyday must be a spectacle, the top news item, to remain in motion and continue the power he enjoys.

Not sure what “ Mayor Pete” is up to these days, but, he’s an extremely presentable and smart person. If you’re looking for a team, try calling on Katie Porter to check facts and do a lead in. The whiteboard was good, but moving on to big graphing like with Robert Reich is needed. Just saying.

My high concern is a just disposition. It is apparent the current law enforces deportation, the best justice is an award of citizenship. It’s all civil, not criminal, so judgement can be curtailed towards a merciful sentence. How about a civil fine, with a judgement not as a resident, but a citizen?

David Daraskevich @ddaraskevich.bsky.social · 07/02/2025
The conflict I have differs the current law and the results of real justice. I’m thinking enforcement of deportation isn’t just. It’s also unjust to ignore current law, which provided DACA protection, but no commitment to a pathway from resident to citizen. A civil fine, but an invoke of citizen?

To be frank, are you shocked? Or would such an outcome be expected with a leader who instills fear in all the workforce? I mean, what effect does morale have upon workplace safety, when your executive causes you to worry about your job?

It’s been interesting the complete disregard for current employment civil service laws regarding government employment. Long term, government employees have taken reduced pay for the same skill set, compared to company hires. It was a trade off for long term stability and retention. Just saying.

I’m unsure how to feel about this story. Conflicted centrist. Apparently, illegally here and should lawfully be deported. But, also a good citizen and contributing member of US society. I’m not a judge, but sense both sides, so where is the justice within this dilemma? How far?? Be fair!!

True. Privacy is for intimate family principles and facts. Once one make such things public, that privacy is removed. This includes items one should disclose when standing for office, in review, to be appointed to a public office. Let’s be fair, you want a vote, disclose all your stuff. Fair?
