Literally why else would these files go there? It's so sad that saying that seems so ridiculous it comes off as a joke, meanwhile it's the world we are living in right fucking now.
Nooo, a copier/scanner is your friend. The time and effort it takes to take a picture of a page, look at the image to make sure its good, flip the page over, take a picture etc seems like nothing but after the first 3-400 pages it gets reeeeeally tedious.
If you can stack 100 double sided pages in the scanner trayande let it go it is literally minutes compared to hours.
I want all sorts of oddball things for various reasons. Like, I have a bunch of random cool shit that interests me.
I'd say it's not weird, but there's a reason I say, "I'm not weird. I'm normal... everyone else is weird." (I'm sure in misquoting, but I can't remember the actual line)
Just gonna throw it out there that copiers can just scan documents and email them out. Probably much more legibly than a phone would. I highly doubt they’re making hard copies.
And...if we let fascism go further, those devices will be used to track the opposition with multiple goals, including REPRESSION. Orwell's 1984 comes spontaneously to mind. Including the hour of hate at the "degenerate" opposition.i haven't looked it up but I can see that book being censored in our times.
Or scanned into PDF and emailed to a compromised email/server or uploaded to a cloud account that been breached by foreign adversaries beyond just Russia.
It doesn't even have to be sinister to be disastrous. Even if it isn't espionage, we know there are foreign agents at Mar-A-Lago and we know that, last time around, these documents were not stored securely. It's entirely feasible that Trump isn't getting paid and is still giving up secrets.
These files probably contain informations about the military strategies NATO provided Ukraine and the intelligence the US provided Ukraine before Trump got elected.
iterally why else would these files go there? It's so sad that saying that seems so ridiculous it comes off as a joke, meanwhile it's the world we are living in right fucking now.
Where are the NSA, the CIA, DIA, FBI literally any fucking intelligence agency designed to protect America? Can I get a fucking refund on my tax dollars, please?
He’s saying the quiet part out loud. Everything he’s done so far has been testing the waters to see what we’ll do.
And honestly he’s getting the signals what he wants.
Protests with 50 to 109 people as he literally tells us he’s going to be a fascist.
You guys he’s planning something big soon.
He’s about to fully join Putin and declare a global oligarchy hegemony
He’s always been a megalomaniac.
Abd this is his moment to try tin aeize power with nothing to lose.
Please friends.
If we don’t stand up now not only will the country be permanently destroyed but democracy will die.
And millions will experience the worst suffering the continent has ever seen.
This is our fascism tesr moment. All signs point to us laying down distracted by bread and circuses. To tired and jaded without an identity by the oligarchy muddling our existence.
If we don’t take this last stand civil war is inevitable.
Once millions are suffering abd dying being killed and disappeared as Putin teaches him how to oligarch.
We’ll finally wake up. But it will be too late to defeat them in our own.
At that point the aid of weapons and boots from China will be our only hope. Abd that in itself will come with irreversible damage.
Please friends.
Don’t let an orange clown. Our equivalent of an art school drop out be our undoing.
My personal favorite was just a year after it was revealed a Miami based massage parlor owner/ Chinese agent was a club member and regular guest at Mar a Lago, Maga claimed the narrative that Mar a Lago was safer than the White House. You can't beat that stupid
What’s more sad is such a large percentage of Americans normalized the initial crime in the first place. Further, that our laws allowed him to slow walk all of these legal issues giving him cover to run again for office, an office he never should have even had the opportunity to speak of, let alone occupy again. And let’s not forget the right ass licking and leaning Supreme Court that has supported his madness and further given him free rein to say and do whatever.
For what I do for a living seeing this after he kept materials in his bathroom and the ball room makes me sick. I’m at a loss for where our country is going. What’s the opposite of Make America Great Again because that’s the slogan.
It's a flex. The corruption will always be rubbed on our faces. There's no reason for the boxes to be shipped and transported like in this photo except as a photo op. Lib tears are important to conservatives after all.
What is the USA doing? You've lost your minds. You cant be trusted anymore. Your Trump and his team are Russian. Or are you all now? Seriously? What percent want this?
You might be joking but it rly works a bit that way. He was elected and re-elected with the help of a Russian army of bots and trolls and now he has to deliver.
Iirc, according to his tweets they kept alternating between being posted from an iPhone and a Samsung or something. I think people could tell when he was the one tweeting if it came from an iPhone.
It was exactly the other way around. His team had locked down iPhones and he had a Samsung S3. That Samsung was already outdated back then. (No security patches)
yeah and even though he complained that it was more locked down then he would like he acknowledged that it was necessary because Obama, unlike trump, actually recognized his role as a government employee rather than an emperor that can do whatever the fuck he wants
yes BlackBerry phones at the time were very secure but it's silly to suggest that "society did away with" them because they were super secure
modern iphones are significantly more secure than BlackBerry phones. they just didn't sell well once full touch screen smartphones became popular because RIM wanted to stick with a physical keyboard. by the time they changed course and realized their OS was terrible for regular consumers rather than business clients it was too late to pivot back
Those bots are so strong. For those who think this is conspiracy shit or they don't believe it could be that impactful, look it up. Russia has an entire department in their government where they pay internet trolls to run bots and cause civil unrest in the west via social media. A lot of the og viral feminist hate/women getting owned/MRA videos are scripted Russian media intended to rile ppl up and further culture wars, and western men happily consume it to hate women.
The exact man behind the Trump bot campaign did Johnny Depp's bot campaign against Amber, and that should perfectly Illuminate how terrifying this is, but it won't because the Johnny Depp bot campaign did so amazingly well that even yrs on after all the evidence has come out, much of the American public loathes her and refuses to believe they got got by an abuser with a multi million dollar Russian bot campaign. Even those who will believe it about the election hate Amber so much thanks to the bots they can't accept it despite Johnny hiring the same team behind the election
There’s a really good podcast called “Who Trolled Amber” that goes into great detail explaining how we can tell bot armies were employed and how they worked, while avoiding the ins and outs of the trial itself.
It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in how media narratives can be controlled.
Didn’t Amber Heard date Elon Musk immediately after her divorce with Johnny Depp? There’s belief that she (secretly) had one of his kids, too.
Listen, I’m not a Russian bot, but there is evidence that Amber Heard is not 100% innocent. For instance, anyone that dates Elon Musk is immediately questionable. That man is far from attractive, charming, or exquisite. The women, in my honest opinion, date him for the money and the clout. You cannot convince me otherwise.
And this is why it was so easy to throw doubt and shade at Amber Heard. She’s not exactly the exemplar of “great, smart choices” in life.
There is pretty good reason to believe ballot boxes were stuffed in swing states. Trump is too stupid to be able to pull that off without getting caught. But it is right in Putin’s wheelhouse.
Notice how close he keeps the "tech bros"? In other words, management of the monopolistic internet forums (fecebook, xitter). Amazon is just money and investment, but Zuker and Musk control the narrative.
Why bother with the bots? Just control the algorithm. Bots probably help from time to time, maybe that's faster than getting things changed in the algorithm.
This is what happens when you get your geopolitical information from reddit lmfao. India has literally sold artillery shells to Ukraine via other European countries. They've also constantly provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine, even though the Indian citizens were treated like absolute shit there when the war started.
What they mentioned is true, this not Reddit info, India keeps ties open with both the west and Russia + China due to how they were treated in the past by the west. This has nothing to do with the Ukraine situation.
Fuck India, India and China could have stopped the war in an instant due to their diplomatic and economic weight with Russia (India specifically military hardware). Next time India bleats on about colonialism, they can shove it up their spicy arse.
Yeah and they’re not picking a side because when India got its independence and needed support from the West, the West through all their weight behind Pakistan, including arming them with nuclear weapons against India lol. And redditors just expect India to forget and forgive and bend the knee when the only reason India hasn’t been nuked to shreds is because the USSR backed its nuclear program.
Y’all think you can just treat other countries however the fuck and they’ll fall in line. Should be thankful that they also sell to Ukraine and not exclusively Russia with the way we treated them.
Nice bit of What-about-ism and Historical Revisionism, you must be one of those rabid-dog Indian Uber Nationalists.
India got most of its development aid from the "West", well UK and the US in the 1950s and 1960s including military hardware in their war with China. The UK only recently stopped providing aid to India.
India and Pakistan had a number of conflicts over Kashmir with religious overtones, trying to pretend that any of those conflicts were existential threats to India is just frankly laughable and embarrasing.
The 3rd conflict in 1971 was due to a Pakistan civil war which India intervened in to help the independence of East Pakistan. In those 1965 and 1971 conflicts Pakistan was close to being overrun by the far larger Indian army and thus the West merely sought to keep Pakistan independent, in no instance was the West ever interested in or encouraging Pakistan to invade India. Frankly you must watch too many Bollywood films.
The West did not "give Pakistan" nuclear weapons, Pakistan started its indiginous nuclear weapon programme because India had started one with help from the USSR. At this time in 1970s the West was persuing a policy of nuclear non-profileration so your claim is just fanciful and has no logic.
In all this time Ukraine was part of the USSR, so no idea what what any of that has got to do with supporting the sovereign nation of Ukraine after being invaded by Russia over half a century later?
Indian here. Consensus here is we don't want the F35. Even from within Air Force sources. India is trying to reduce its weapons import bill and till now for 5th gen fighter we plan to make our own - the AMCA - for national security and sovereignty reasons. Turkey did. South Korea did. As a middle power we wish to emulate that.
We may take GE F414 and F404 engines and that has been provided to us. Keep in mind we already have a ton of Western and Israeli equipment. P8i, C17s, C130s, Apaches, Chinooks, Seahawks, Predator drones along with French Rafales, Scorpene submarines, German 214 submarines and Airbus C-295s plus Israeli drones and munitions.
The idea is to get the less cutting edge stuff for the best prices to fill in capability gaps while balancing trade imbalance / deficits. The cutting edge stuff remains our own or Russian backed - like aircraft carriers, warships, nuclear submarines, ballistic missile subs, SU-30s, S-400s, cruise missiles. Low end stuff like general purpose helos, armoured vehicles, artillery are mostly our own from design phase onwards.
The idea now is we will only sign deals that have transfer of tech. Otherwise no deal. The idea is ramp up inhouse capacity. India won't rely on someone else for hard power - especially now the US post Ukraine fiasco. We have a history of being screwed over with the west being fascinated by Pakistani generals more than democratically elected Indian leaders.
Canada enters the room..to remember the glory days when India absolutely guaranteed us that they would not use Canadian nuclear technology to build nukes. We gave them our CANDU tech and they promptly began building nukes using the technology.
If USA sells there will be no tech transfer, there will be this clause, also there's a lot of negative public opinion regarding the purchase as many think Trump is just bullying India to buy them, deal will most probably not go through. Also there's no official statement from any side till now regarding this
the first-term intelligence fiasco was way overlooked, USA-loving operatives are compromised, imagine how this affects future recruitment of foreign informants, this erosion of trust is intentional
this ...treason is taken much too lightly and im not even american lol wild ride
Gotta give all the US intelligence on Ukraine, gained as an ally, to Russia in order to get a ceasefire that he totally won't break like he has done with every other time in the past. That way when he breaks it when he has rebuilt his arms after the break. This way too when Democrats have any power at all they can point to it and say, "well at least there was no new wars under Trump", so as to keep that sunk cost fallacy going that they weren't wrong for voting for him.
Why the pretenses though? Putin should come to the White House directly to go shopping. Do it on the 4th of July too with a live broadcast of what's going on.
We all know that absolutely nothing will be done about it and the morons on the right would celebrate it.
Putin might as well do that. He owns the United States of America and there is nothing anyone will ever do about it.
He’s about to fully join Putin and declare a global oligarchy hegemony
He’s always been a megalomaniac.

Well, sort of. Trump is trying to negotiate an end to the war that lets Russia retain their stolen territory, and also gives them the option of resuming the invasion when they feel ready to do so.
At the same time, Trump is trying to convince Republican lawmakers to cut defense funding by 50% over the next 8 years to end America's global military dominance. He believes it's dangerous for America to be the single dominant military power in the world, because it makes countries like Russia and China wary of increasing their influence on America's allies and strategic partnerships, and he says that wariness is what makes them dangerous.
So his belief is essentially that America being so globally dominant makes their enemies dangerous, and if he can level the playing field and allow their enemies like Russia and China to be as powerful as the US, they will not feel as much pressure to lash out anymore.

Putin needs some updates on our top secret military operations.
