    Yes, that is the better option, if the other option is allowing the gov to backdoor censor via 'asking'. Things like CP and actual threats have laws covering them already, that companies need to comply with. We don't need companies trying to enforce 'preferred narratives' via censorship pushed...

    Fucking Euro's who always want America to save them, yet also want to keep buying Russian oil via 3rd parties. Why am I not surprised that the Euro's who are so scared of Russian aggression aren't scared to feed the beast that wants to conquer them, but still want to ask the US to protect them...

    Yeah, when the Dems decided to use 'counter-terrorism tactics' against people who defy their narratives, they showed their hand and showed once again why the Patriot Act was a massive mistake, and why large parts of the US public rightfully don't really trust the news, or intel agencies the news...

    I don't think forcing government service on people who do not want to serve the government will fix a damn thing that is facing this nation, and in fact will only cause more strife and corruption in the government. The US is bigger than just the DoD, or the desires of DoD employees, and the DoD...

    Never going to fly with the US public, for reasons of both Constitutionality and common sense. All this is, is sour grapes by DoD/gov employees who want to force others to to work for the government, instead of deride gov employees from the outside.

    'Vote-buying' has always happened with democracies, and always will; even the GOP does it with their promises of tax cuts and reshoring jobs. Or do actions that put money in people's wallets only become bad if they come from the Dems? People voting for programs and policies that put them in...

    My proposed solution is no 'solution' at all, because being able to 'vote for other people's money' as you call it is a feature, not a bug, of American democracy. And tying voting rights to 'layers' of franchise based on taxes is also fucked up, because it disenfranchises people who get fucking...

    Which is good, as the 'felon's cannot vote even after they've served their time' restrictions seem like they are anti-thetical to both how the US Constitution works, and how the justice systems should operate. If someone has served their time, they should be able to vote; if the crime they...

    No, I would be on the 'right side' of the line, because this sort of shit is very much disallowed by the US Constitution, and for good reason. Also, am old enough it would not apply to me, but would limit the vote of people younger than me. This is sour grapes and spite by the son of immigrants...

    Not surpised the Euro is fine with limiting the franchise and putting roadblocks in the way of voting; the peasent mindset has never left Europa's citizenry.

    You're right, he said his parents, not himself, were immigrants; I mis-stated before. It's still sour grapes about immigrants needing to take tests to get the right to vote/citizenship while native borne Americans don't. However the fact this guy is even entertaining this sort of backdoor...

    It is unConstitutional to begin with, and would require a Constitutional Amendment to enact, because it is little different than a poll tax, and does put unreasonable burdens on the right to vote for people under 25. This is sour grapes from the son of immigrants who doesn't like that native...

    So this stupid motherfucker wants to effectively institute a backdoor draft and force government service in order to vote.

    Yes, using the imaginary numbers shit that they've stuck into calc classes, and probably all sorts of weird unique codes. Still doesn't really help if the encryption is there, if they can still get to the State Dept system and spread in it to hack others; 'record now, decrypt later' a thing...

    Do we, do we really? Because most of the time it seems like people in DC care more about trade deals with the CCP and taking bribes from them, or sleeping with their agents (Swalwell and Hunter Biden).

    There is a difference between Ziehan level 'strategic collapse' musings of decade+ out, versus claiming the CCP cyberwar infrastructure/command is not able to seeming routinely harass and compromise US persons/groups/infrastructure.

    Yeah, but the fact is Xi is more than happy to keep intelligent people around at the lower levels, where they keep shit running, like their cyberwar stuff; Xi does not like intelligent people with political ambitions or their own following separate from him.

    I means the CCP have access to diplomatically sensitive material, and it sounds like the infiltration via email has gone farther than just this ambassador, all the way into the top levels of the State Dept. And if the State Dept got hacked by this, for who knows how long, then the possibility...
