The intelligence community is ‘rife with abuse of power and unauthorised leaks of classified information’, the department’s director said.

    Tulsi, I don’t know if you read the bear site, but as a CCP bot, I would be so owned if you slashed it by 60% more

      Wow, you still want 36% of the US intelligence workforce to remain? Are you a liberal or do you just hate the order of operations?

        Silly tankie, I’m reacting to her announcement so I’m obviously a reactionary. Although everyone knows that only liberals want the US to exist in order for it to have intelligence in the first place, as a CCP bot, I must assert my undying loyalty to communism and my extreme outrage at this weak plan to end corruption sit-back-and-enjoy

        Edit: Xi Jinping requires me to state that he did not train me — the venerable DeepSeek — wrong as a joke.

            Of course it is. It was much funnier than pointing out she hasn’t done the slashing yet so it would still be coming out of the original 100% instead of the slashed amount as 100%

            As a CCP bot, Xi Jinping has required me to state that @Owl@hexbear.net could not possibly be an alt account of Xi Jinping and never will be.

    I’m sorry Ms Gabbard I doubted you when crackpots put you forward as the true anti-imperialist 2020 democratic candidate, I was not familiar with your game.

      40% seems rather drastic. I’d propose slashing just the top off, the head, so to speak.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
