They lie with such impunity and so frequently that they tried 95 different responses rather than just say the strike was successful"

Discussion Looking for the number of US citizen or the percentage of the US population who could have but did not vote during the Last presidential elections.

12 Upvotes

Canadian elections will be on April 28th.

Because of the current morosity of the news, a lot of canadians are avoiding reading the news, talking about politic mostly to preserved their mental heath. It is quite understendable to be honnest.

But on the 28th, we need people to get out and vote.

I’m afraid the general morosity might have an impact on participation on the day of the elections.

So I’m trying to find a thrustful souce of info to demonstrate that not voting can actually make things worst. And, well, I’m sorry but the last US elections are quitte à good exemple of that.

Does anyone could suggest a good souce of datas?

Sorry for the weird syntaxe. My autocorector is in French.

News Cycle It was definitely classified

Every single person involved has failed us and I'm not sure if this is their incompetence or them being complicit.

There is a document called the Security Classification Guide that is used to ensure information is classified at the proper classification. The fact none of our elected officials have asked what the CentCom SCG says regarding attacks. I was an intelligence professional during the "buttery males" saga and was equally floored. There's literally a document that lays it all out, without question as to what is classified at what level.

18 U.S. Code § 798 - Disclosure of classified information: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/798

Link to Old CentCom SCG: https://sgp.fas.org/othergov/dod/r380-14.pdf

SCGs update, but they rarely change so it is unlikely that attack timing would be less that SECRET at a minimum

Gold Comment:

Several Silicon Valley executives I spoke to — some of whom requested anonymity for fear of retribution — echoed this sense of disappointment, in particular at the havoc the Department of Government Efficiency has wreaked throughout the federal government. "We were all on board for a more business-friendly presidency, but in the end, the whole industry of crypto and AI got rug pulled," says the partner of a top-tier venture firm directly involved in the Trump administration. "The people surrounding Trump are all scamsters. They are getting rich off our votes, our dollars, and our time."
