@jsmithrichards.bsky.social What did you find out about the 2020 Election Skepticism being taught in Oklahoma. You mention this, but there is no detail. The Blue Sky link in the ProPublica article also does not work.
@washingtonpost.com New policy of rejecting comments and not displaying them to the commenter so that they can copy and/or revise it is TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY. I looked up the URL for the Washington Post article on 2 October and that may have killed the comment, but I thought I had used URLs.
Sailors should not be cheering political speech - this is the Navy equivalent of Fort Bragg. This crowd, unlike Ft Bragg, had jr officers in it. I wonder if someone was holding up "clap and cheer" signs in front of them like on a TV show.
Cadet Bone Spurs wants to be on a $1 coin for our 250th bday. If like me, you absolutely hate this idea which also violates the law. He's still alive, not the required dead for two years. Tell the US Mint and Sec Treasury HELL NO
@happy250thamerica.bsky.social I expect many of you do not like the idea of this $1 coin - As a descendant of three Revolutionary War Patriots, I am totally against putting Cadet Bone Spurs on a US coin in violation of his still being alive. Tell the US Mint and the Secretary of Treasury
I was wrong when I thought that this was a Hatch Act violation. Displaying a pride flag is not a partisan political activity. The FBI action, though, may be of interest to Office of Special Counsel as it may be prohibited personnel practice under "Other Discrimination" osc.gov/Services/pag...
Anyone not working due to Govt Shutdown. If your e-mail signature or an agency website has been politically altered, complain to the Special Counsel. This is Hatch Act violation and they investigate this. Political e-mail signature tags were reported in SF to KCBS Radio AM 74.
Unfortunately, displaying the pride flag or any other political symbol in your US government office is against the Hatch Act, but that should have been adjudicated by the Office of Special Counsel not just resulted in a summary firing.
Today was Constitution Day and it is celebrated by violating the First Amendment! Guess the Constitution is really gone after all! Now, we all need to get it back!
@thebulwark.com Is the Bulwark YouTube channel something different that requires Bulwark paid subscriber to pay more for Bulwark YouTube. I am paid Bulwark subscriber and I hit pay wall on YouTube Bulwark!
If you have not read pp 1-25 and 83 (pardons) of bit.ly/4lEgn21, you should - then read introduction and the last two pages of Special Counsel's final report to Atty Genl - bit.ly/46eqc12
Trouble is that you can not arrest someone, especially a former President without well established case with Federal charges - The Justice Department did not used to be political - it had not been since Nixon, not really that much under Trump 1.0, but is horribly so in Trump 2.0's retribution mode
Have you read pp 1-25 and 83 (pardons) of this Special Counsel document? It is as close to a trial as Mr Trump is likely to ever get because Trump may not be mentally fit for a trial when he leaves office. bit.ly/4lEgn21 This ties very much into the video.
War Dept never won any war by itself. It always had the Dept of Navy (est 1798) and the United States only won Spanish-American, Mexican and Civil Wars without foreign allies. US would not have won Revolution without France. French Navy defeated Royal Navy off Virginia and sealed Cornwallis in.
1949 Amendment to Act removed the three service secretaries from Cabinet and renamed the Natl Military Est to Dept of Defense with Secretary of Defense becoming the only Cabinet officer. Dept of War no longer existed when DoD was created.
The Dept of Defense never was named the Dept of War. The WW-II thru 1947 Dept of War was the Army + Army Air Forces. The National Security Act of 1947 divided Dept of War into the Dept of Army + Dept of Air Force and combined these w/ Dept of Navy (est 1798) into National Military Establishment.
