If “woke” means asinine politically motivated witch hunts and hiring practices then yeah, and rightfully so

We'd have to look at the longest-running democracies and observe how they handled periodic refactorings

Except, of course, that this is historically wrong. Transitions from democracy to dictatorship are common, but I cannot think of one that happened because of "loose fiscal policy".

Dig in? Was already aware of his book, and he's made many more weird books. Trump's cabinet are all weird little goblins, some more Nazi than others, like Miller.
isn't that "hackers" supposed to get some unknown secret scandalous stuff? if you're digging amazon FOR them, what's the point of their activity? and by "digging", yes it's digging because is that link THE FIRST RECOMMENDED THING from amazon? gosh I didn't even say "trump cabinet is the best and perfect"... ...damn did you get like 300 on SAT reading?

that's the thing that people overlook the most in regards to this war.iran isn’t doing this on its own. Russia, China and north korea have been backing it from the start. they’re the ones helping with intel on US base locations across the Middle East, supplying drones, and working out strategies to drag things into a stalemate, plus whatever else iran needs along the way
Russia and North Korea are obviously doing so, but I haven't seen any direct evidence that China is providing intelligence support to Iran, do you have any links? It is certainly plausible, China would love to see Russia tied up in Ukraine and the US tied up in Iran.
China is for sure providing material for drone and rocket manufacturing as well as air defense systems.

honestly, look internally. after the plane from qatar. after the son-in-law's real estate dealings. after the visible-to-everyone kalshi and oil futures bets frontrunning the administrations announcements. for you to still feel the need to frame things as "border-line (to be polite)" is, in and of itself, the perfect example of the overall problem. take your inability to draw a clear-as-day conclusion and state it pl…
"no politics" is the immune response to the social-media-fueled, conspiracy-theory-driven "we are the good guys, you basically deserve to die" craze. Both sides are culpable here. In the US, both parties were literally claiming that the elections were stolen (Republicans in 2020, Democrats with the since-debunked 2016 Cambridge Analytica scandal). Other countries had different issues, but the shape of the problem was…
This is not even remotely true.
One party broadly mobilized a country wide effort to overthrow an election and usurp the incoming duly elected government, culminating in a violent attack on congress itself.
The other party had concerns about foreign interference in our elections.

I think theirs was the right conclusion, but for the wrong reason. If there was anything really damning, Iran would rather use that as leverage. The fact that they released it publicly means that the most embarrassing part of it is just the hack in itself.
If I was Iran I'd leak the innocuous stuff first to let them know I had access to potentially more damning things, to try and force the US to the table.
I'd feel obliged to add some "but, her emails..." reference. But it feels million years away. It's interesting to wonder how you get out of a spiral of incompetence and border-line (to be polite) corrumption at the highest level. Putting those people in charge was quick ; sure, a future administration could put them out quickly enough ; but how long will there be decently skilled people willing to take those position…
Referencing Hillary’s email would be kinda silly. She self hosted the email account she used for official government business. It was loaded with classified information. This guy, while incompetent, had his personal email hacked. Important distinction.
Trying to distinguish between the two acts is like splitting hairs on the same arse.
Just makes you look silly.
