“By partnering with vetted United States companies subject to the direction and oversight of the Federal Government, we will enhance our ability to counter [transnational criminal organizations’] threats and combat transnational cybercrime, fraud, and other predatory schemes against American citizens,” the memo said.
Look man, you sound like one of those people who for weeks assured me that Mitch McConnell was a dead man. Fully a vegetable. No question, and that I was an utter fool for saying it probably wasn’t true. That of course it had to be true. Just look at the track record of this administration. They lie all the time. Of course he’s a vegetable.
Turns out, it was all conspiracy theory nonsense.
I literally linked an executive order at the top of my last post which was this administration doing the right thing. You didn’t engage with it because it was unimpeachably good. His track record isn’t 0% unless you want to refute the one I linked literally last message in this thread.
It’s not good. This administration has been overwhelmingly bad. But if your desire to hate this administration makes you engage in doublethink where you have to call things evil that in literally any other circumstance you would call good, you probably need to take a step back.
I’m not saying not to be wary. I’m not saying not to have a critical eye. But this isn’t bad on its face. Maybe it will be later, but as a first step, it’s one in the right direction. Nothing about it so far is something to hate on. Maybe that will come later, and if so I’ll gladly jump on the dogpile.
But as written, so far, it’s good. And even in a worst case, it will survive into a new administration who will administer it better. That’s still something good to be looked forward to. So far little to no action has been taken against this issue, so I look to any positive motion as a net good, even if it’s helmed by crooks for now.
Are you seriously defending Mitch McConnel now!? I mean it was obvious from the start you were acting stupid but you really went over the top here.
I don’t think it’s defending the man to say he’s not dead or a vegetable. He’s an abhorrent human being, but so are a lot of people who aren’t dead or vegetables. And denying reality by saying they are isn’t exactly the flex you seem to think it is.
What are you saying!? The dude is incapable of fulfilling his position. From the very start people were saying he had a stroke and that he was unable to function. The joke was that he was dead. The fact that you so grossly misrepresent this is concerning and makes me seriously doubt your honesty.
Look man, maybe you missed the literal hundreds of posts a few weeks ago saying that they’re secretly hiding the fact that he’s dead and that they’re going to announce it at 12:01 on August 3rd. It was “established fact” that the pictures of him were photoshopped, and that his wife was writing all of his messages for him, and that he was either already dead or in a vegetative state. None of that was true.
Should he retire? Obviously. Is he able to do his job right now? Obviously not. Is he gonna return after the summer is over anyway? Probably. He’s been going blank on camera for years now. He’s been unfit for years now.
But that’s not what people were claiming or what I was referring to. People were spreading obvious conspiracy theories that they were “weekend at bernies”-ing him to get past some imagined deadline. If need be, I’ll happily scroll back a few weeks in any politics related community and get you a few hundred people saying exactly that.
