Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

FOAD entirely appropriate in this context. Best use of it I’ve ever heard in fact.

Unfortunately the chances of the former before the latter look slim.

DHS Staff thought their devices were bugged by Noem / Lewandowski

Noem / Lewandowski were looking for media leakers and subjected staff to lie detector tests and searches. DHS staff started using faraday bags for their devices to prevent Noem from bugging conversations

Meanwhile, a few days ago…
Corey Lewandowski finally fired by Trump Administration …

Corey Lewandowski resigned from DHS when Noem left and Markwayne Mullins took over. Noem went to a new job as “Special Envoy to The Shield of the Americas”. Lewandowski then showed up at Noem’s side during a government meeting at the US Embassy in Guyana . Shortly after the new pictures emerged, it was announced that Lewandowski was leaving all government positions… Trump may have forced Lewandowski out due to allegations of massive kickbacks while handling various DHS contracts

Safe to who? Not him or his allies. Luckily that amounts to two countries.

Though what he means he will probably blow it up.

While I agree with you regarding Trump, the climate of mis-info and far-right propoganda that led to him would have existed anyway. He’s just the first person to take this much advantage of it.

Unfortunately, it would have taken more than one blow job to save our timeline.

All countries need to blank trading with the USA and find alternative markets until this idiot is gone!

On the one hand, that is very difficult to do - particularly as customers of American technology.

On the other, the fact that Trump was elected for a second time really points to the fact that in this era, other countries need to find economic alternatives that are permanent.

Yes. Decouple from US tech, weapons and media companies. Total boycott of Israel, beyond even the South Africa sanctions. Switch to renewable energies in all possible fields. Creation of independent EU military with strong alliances with Canada and Australia.
All of these have to be the lessons of this shitshow.

Spot on,The US has again proved they are not a reliable ally.Get well away from them,the Oz Govt should pull the plug on the mirage class subs,and tell him to get shot of the bases and ship Pine Gap,anywhere.
Decoupling from Israel is a must,rhe US is the only reason they have got away with everything the want.
On their own they would be a whole lot quieter.
