Well, typically that's because these press conferences and shit always have *approved* media only in there... Those who will abide by NOT asking such questions of him if they intend to ever be invited again. 🫀

UPDATE: Ring just cancelled their partnership with #Flock.

Should you trust #ring now? No.

After all they thought this was a good idea.

And their statement doesn't acknowledge the real issue. More on that in a second.

But this shows: pressure works on privacy 1/

I get it that a lot of people didn't feel great about Harris. But the choice was literally one candidate who'd bring forth Totalitarian dictatorship, and one candidate who would not. This could have been a time to fight for more advances, not watching Americans be kidnapped and murdered.

How A 1990s Sci-Fi Television Show Predicted The Era of Trump And MAGA

(I always loved Babylon 5. As the show progresses you see it is partially about the rise of Fascism, as well as other things. It’s top tier Sci-Fi)

Ya, it kind of got dropped right when they REALLY should have been dedicating a lot more resources towards it. Same deal with Volt Typhoon which, personally I find that very concerninog, possibly more than ST. 🫀

I don’t know much about Chinese spies, but I do think the US has a huge continuity problem now. It would seem foolish to expect the US government to keep promises beyond a single presidential term, even if it’s supported by law, because Americans may at any point install a lawless administration.
Why would any foreign national spy for the USA anymore? You have no guarantee that Trump will allow the US to keep its promises to you, he doesn't even keep America's promises to its allies.

This can be a great time for news media from other countries if they play their cards right. There's absolutely a need for news that isn't tainted by fascism.

Ya, Bondi was definitely groomed from a rather young age... I honestly feel really bad that happened to anyone. But as an adult, she could have broken free of that, instead she dove right into it and she might've even become an abuser herself.

We had that all last year or so as well,. During #StopProject2025 we constantly did posts showing exactly what Project 2025 would bring, if Trump won. We got accused of being lazy for trying to make everyone aware of the serious risk of fascism. Now they're all like "well why didn't you stop it?" πŸ™„
