What the fuck are people doing there? By what measure could Elon Musk's non-role at Doge have any relationship to our intel on Chinese weapons systems? And how could there ever be confusion as to who ordered a classified briefing? That's so far from how classification is supposed to work it doesn't make sense how it ever even got beyond a simple rejection.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It was intentional until it leaked. They'd rather look even more incompetent with classified info than just admit whatever the real reason is or make up something fake to cover.
Looking even more incompetent is the best option they thought. That should be extremely worrying. Having yet another classified information scandal is the best option.

Every time something major breaks and it seems like everyone involved is extremely incompetent, this is what I assume.
They knew exactly what they were doing. It was intentional from start to finish. They just don't want to admit that, because then they would have to admit the real reason, and that thought terrifies them.
I'm talking about the actual people making the reports, not the political appointees. They should have never let things bumble on being uncertain about who ordered the presentation. The systems and bureaucracy of the government have just completely failed to maintain processes and standards.
And the leaks keep coming, heh.
The leaks keep coming and they don't stop coming
Ignore the rules and keep the booze running
Doesn't make sense that his jobs not fun,
He keeps on drinking and he never had to run.
So much to tell, so much to say,
What are government secrets anyway?
They'll never know if you don't blow
Who'd thought we sink this low? Yo!
From yolo to low, yo
And the leaks keep coming, he(gset)h.
🙃
They were going to brief him then it got leaked and they pulled back.
Weird seeing Elon dressed like a normal person.
Im hoping it went like a black ladder episode and held back the good stuff.
And now Fusk is entering the arms market. Insider trading anyone?
