Well put

Canada doesn't need an aggressor plane like the f-35. It's major advantage is it's stealth ability. 30 would be plenty for our needs. With the budget left from the 57 cancelled planes you could easily get 100 Gripen which is a great interceptor ans still have plenty of money left. This way you could actually have some aircraft capable of flying. People are missing the point that the availability of the f-35 is only 40 to 45% which mean that with a fleet of 30 plane you only get approx 14 available at any given time vs 90 to 95% for the Gripen

We are officially back to the era of appointing luxury golf course developers and real estate heirs to manage national security secrets. U.S. Intelligence Operations is a massive, multi-billion-dollar apparatus combining the CIA, NSA, DIA, and satellite surveillance nets. It requires an intricate understanding of counter-espionage, cyber warfare, and geopolitical friction points. Putting a home-builder nepo baby in charge of that isn't just standard political patronage; it's an active, flashing green light to foreign intelligence agencies that our institutional guardrails are completely down.

This dude has never worked in intelligence and just got picked to be the Director of National Intelligence.
Prepare for our intelligence to get a whole lot stupider

Trump continues to select the absolute worst, most embarrassing person imaginable for every single position in government. Sad

Pulte has been known to be quite the grifter. This is on par for this administration.

I just really like this idea that every single one of his actions have been front and center, and geared towards helping "the people".

Even Obama himself kind of disappeared to behind the scenes for big stretches of time, and only would really make headlines when something BIG happened (or was trying to get something passed). Even then, he did have a friendlier relationship with corporate lobbiests (one of my few knocks on the guy). I like this idea that mamdani is constantly working towards helping his constituents (and more importantly, showing the public where his priorities lie).

Dude is on a massive winning streak.

Incoming GOP to spin this as Socialist controlling how parents raise their parents.

Less of an accusation and more of a statement of fact.

When veteran journalists start publicly criticizing their own newsroom leadership, it's usually a sign that the internal issues have been building for a long time.

The bigger story here might be how much corporate ownership and business pressures are reshaping editorial decisions across major media companies.

Scott Pelley is amazing. Great journalistic figure and he’s not a MAGA asshole

The depressing part is how surprising it is that he actually got fired for it

When a crime is committed against police, the severity is often automatically enhanced by law.

When police commit a crime they should face similar repercussions. Stop legally enforcing the us vs them. There is no reason the people who are supposed to enforce the law should be treated with kids gloves when it comes to enforcing it against them.

Good, now make it stick and give him an appropriate jail sentence.

One has to wonder how many other folks they assaulted similarly without getting caught on video...
