The entire staff of the Defense Digital Service (DDS), the Pentagon’s decade-old technology development office, is leaving by the start of May, with nearly all individuals resigning, a current member of the office confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday.
The mass exodus, first reported by Politico, means the service will effectively shutter in less than a month.
It’s a moot point to debate whether Trump is a Russian asset or not. Either way, he’s acting as if he was.
It matters a lot, actually; when you recognise Trumpian fascism as the product of domestic, structural, problems, you can make the kind of policy changes that reverse the slide into fascism. But when you blame all the countries problems on the sinister machinations of perfidious foreigners, you’re just going to end up rushing even faster into jingoism, militarism, and McCarthyism, which will ultimately only accelerate the slide into fascism.
Yes, but we do get to abuse brown people right?
Future Republicans are going to be very ashamed of the Republicans who support Trump, they still exist in the future.
Oh sorry, you must have just woken from a coma you entered in 1995.
Republicans? Ashamed?
I see you haven’t met many Republicans.
Lol, I heard the same thing about George Bush
Good joke.
They have long since eliminated the part of their personalities that feel shame.
If history is the best way to predict the future, current Republicans will be ashamed of future Republicans, but in private. In public they’ll play along.
The scenario I’ve been imagining would go like this. The Cheney/Romney/McConnell GOP would abandon the Republican name to the MAGoos and do a hostile takeover of the Libertarian Party. Right now the Libs have about 800,000 nation wide. The Cheney bloc could join and overwhelm the old guard and be on the ballot in all fifty state instantly.
Moscow Mitch doesn’t get a pass,
Get real.
Mitch is going to die comfortably and probably have some schools named after him after he’s gone.
There would have to be a lot of people killed before things changed wnought to change that, and I don’t think it’s worth the cost.
