The key takeaway from the Signal scandal is that no matter where in this planet or which industry you work, incompetent men incessantly fail upwards while being excused for their most awful mistakes, while top performing women get harassed for sending emails.

Update: since this post is trending, it's my personal policy that I do not engage with trolls. I block. I recommend that you do the same.

As Canadians and Europeans, we grumble a lot. Often for very good reason.

But I think why the US Administration hates and fears both Canada and the EU so much is because they are terrified that one day, their own people will realise that it is possible to live in a society that:

- Makes hate speech a crime
-Takes the concept of the rule of law seriously
-Embraces human rights

The Atlantic today:
“1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”
“1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts”
“1415: Strike Drones on Target”

That’s called lying under oath which *I do recall* is a crime

18 U.S. Code § 1621: Perjury before Congress.

Punishable by up to 5 years in America. Not Russia, hunny bunny.

my political beliefs can be best summed up as “i think everyone should have free soup and billionaires should be screamed at by witches”
