>>…In an interview yesterday with NBC News, President Donald Trump was asked whether American auto companies will be forced to raise prices given his new tariffs. His response? “I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars,” per NBC’s Kristen Welker and Alexandra Marquez. Trump went on: “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. … f the prices on foreign cars go up, they’re going to buy American cars.”<<

This actually highlights how bizarre all this is. Maga advertises itself as hating MSM, normal policy, journalism. And yet here is the head of the Trump CIA plugging a journalist into his chat. How odd. This would be like FBID Wray just whoops bcc’ing Tucker Carlson or some Rumble podcaster into a sensitive email chain. There is *no way a Wray would have such a person in his contacts but golly it sure looks like Waltz is in contact with Goldberg & apparently Trump (who also contacts the loathed MSM) is fine with it too.

Today DNI Directo Tulsi Gabbard testified there was nothing classified in the communications & SOD “Pete”, the former morning cable tv morning news host, said repeatedly it wasn’t classified at all. Dir. CIA Ratcliffe testified no mistake was made. Have fun bringing evidence.

I just asked for an example as an attempt to reach a common agreed upon principle, any of these will do. Thanks.

Just one other thought - I think you’re talking about stochastic violence. So not a situation where someone calls to a crowd of followers for direct action against someone or something nearby but instead basically ginning up hate & calumny ti the point someone somewhere will act on it. What happened to Paul Pelosi is an example of that, & maybe there’s a left wing example of that.

Update: Trump has announced who is heading up the investigation. It’s DNI Mike Waltz.

Read the question, I posted it above.

Earlier in the discussion I pointed out that a threat needs to be imminent & proximate, that is, realistic. Anyway thanks for the discussion.

>“How do you win elections in Texas as a Democrat? What do you do? Especially statewide.”< That was the question proposed to Crockett. No I don’t think any judge or jury would reasonably believe that she was telling foaming followers in her vicinity to walk over to a nearby Ted Cruz & hit him on the head.

The comp for that would be a politician speaking in a public square calling on a throng of thousands of loyal followers to storm a nearby public building. That would have imminence & a specific threat of violence. Yes I’d agree that person could at least be arrested.

It’s not actionable because no was incited because no one has committed violence at her instigation. But regardless I’m talking about the general principle that we agree should apply to all public officials.

I used to think this. I no longer do. What is “bad” (as in OMB) exactly?

Have you ever looked at how many forums there are here? This is for geeks/nerds discussing whatever. Go pick one, there’s like 15.

Ask the Russophiles.

Let’s just shake on this: a public official who incites others to violence should be removed & charged. The more sacred the institutions attacked, the more senior the officials attacked, the worse the sentence should be. Agreed?

Did you look at the DOD advisory?

I agree, except the last bit. Trump has personally called reporters himself, but regardless someone needs to be held accountable here.

There’s a kid in the hoosegow right now for talking classified on Discord right now. So no about this stuff he can’t talk to just anyone.

It’s funny because if Trump cans Waltz it will be because they think he’s talking to Goldberg, not because of the OpSec disaster.

I understand but it’s hackable by every intelligence service in the world.

Right. They didn’t post an image of a geodesic map just the what/where/when/how so hey y’all no “war plans.”

Nixon was driven out for firing one investigator. One.

That would be the DNI. Whoever appointed him is reckless. But to be clear the message wasn’t encrypted, Goldberg’s just a dude on Signal & any foreign IS can hack or monitor it. Witkoff was in the Kremlin while this was going on btw. What’s your OpSec guide say about that?

Ohhh right, all of them. Got it. It’s like Nixon on crack & wormwood.

Goldberg was reading a USG WHEO encrypted message. Really.
