DOGE geek with Treasury payment system access now quits amid racist tweet claims

Re: "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity"

The USA back in the 'good old days' when they were a nation of immigrants, allowed only white immigrants but had classes of white immigrant: British > German | Scandinavian > Irish | Italian > Greek > Slavic.

The term for Irish and Italian was something like lesser/inferior white nations (can't find exact text).

Of course in these modern enlightened times, the USA recognises all white Americans of european-stock people as equal.

(odd that the USA ordered ranking of peoples matched their level of irony, and yet the current population of Americans couldn't recognise irony if it came with a magnetic attached)

Re: "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity"

>Define "woke".

Being forced to pretend that Italians are 'white'

Interesting statistics

In the last hour everyone of my posts in the threads related to a former colony have received a down vote.

I do hope I haven't offended a bot !

This is the USA of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" fame.

If they were in charge of naming missions it wouldn't have been "Overlord", it would have been "Operation invade Normandy on June 5th"

That's the really clever trick, instead of having to train your own people, or spend years recruiting Oxbridge dons to groom candidates - you just point 4Chan at 100M idiots and play the odds.

Yes those are all reasons for having USAID in the first place.

But it also applies to almost all the other recipients - so why single this program out ahead of feeding starving babies in the rest of Africa?

I'm trying to work out the geo-strategic advantage to the USA of people not dying of AIDs in South Africa.

Cheaper diamonds ?

Apart from 90% of the aid being required to be spent in the USA. Paying to send cheap food from American farmers destroys local competition and gives you a new market and a country that is now reliant on you for food.

UK Home Office silent on alleged Apple backdoor order

I was only following orders.

Re: What they're asking for is feasible

Except that only applies to locals.

When I go to China my phone still uploads to my own account (through my corporate VPN - I'm not stupid).

So this wouldn't keep out foreign terrorists phones from Ireland, North Korea or America - it would only allow the government to spy on their own citizens

I think the secret policy was leaked by the BBC in the 1970s

Sir Humphrey: Well, Minister, in practical terms we have the usual six options. One, do nothing. Two, issue a statement deploring the speech. Three, lodge an official protest. Four, cut off aid. Five, break off diplomatic relations; and six, declare war.

Re: Same old labour...

The USA has a procedure where anything ordered in the last 100 (?) days of the outgoing president can be overturned by the new guy

Perhaps a policy where all laws in the last 'n' days before an election is inverted and then automatically becomes law if they lose .

It will certainly add an element of strategy to politics.

Re: The cost is infinite

>They expect to complete Rishi Sunak's iCloud account in approximately five million years, then they'll start on Kier Starmer's if the law still exists then.

Remember when Trump's twitter password was "Maga2020"?

Rishi's is probably "I-heart emoji-Thatcher" and ironically so is Starmer's

Now that we are in a post-expert society , government is no longer bound by the mundane laws of mathematics

Now I'm confused.

If Kremlin bots are attacking Starmer - does that mean he is a socialist?

Re: Aren't Government employees neutral.

No, I'm pretty sure it was because of a failure of the people to fully embrace the vision of the Prime Minister(s) and his/her ineffable plan.

Re: Aren't Government employees neutral.

Except being America it's a lot more Machiavellian than even the Labour party procedure and a lot more corrupt than even the Tories could arrange.

It's not one-member one-vote, you vote for delegates from each area but then there are super-delegates, and different states have different rules about who can vote and there are block votes (sort-of) and back-room deals for candidates to drop out in return for cabinet posts. Plus all the nefarious briefings and leaks to keep out undesirable candidates .

Since nobody normal takes any notice of this, it's important to get your name on the news cycle early. So whoever wins the first state wins. So there is a big fight to be the first state on the tour since the candidates all have to make promises about whatever local industry your state relies on.

But at least I got to keep the old plate and put it on the wall. Possibly the most American thing, after a gun.

It's much worse than that every 'city' (=postcode) has its on laws.

I got a ticket because my car didn't have a front license plate = allowed in Pasadena, but not 10 miles away.

We had a payload going to Houston for integration. Stuff flying into Houston airport could be cleared by a freight agent in Houston but the HW going be sea had to have a different agent because Houston's port is in Galveston and the Houston agent wasn't accredited in the different city.

In the European precedent, when the party got into power in March 1933 a lot of people suddenly found it advantageous to join - they were known as March Violets, because they suddenly popped up in spring.

Re: Move fast, break things, drains up.

The irony being that USAID is a way of tunneling subsidies to US farmers to dump cheap food on 3rd world countries, destroying the local agriculture. While propping up whichever dictator said the right things against Moscow and pro Nestle.

An organization that the left has been fuming against for decades.

There is still a better than evens chance that he defunds the DoD by accident and the USA unilaterally nuclear disarms when an intern deletes the DoE.
