Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.
They should all go through every email exchange they had and inform every single person who received that automatic response that it was set that way without their consent.
Total weaponization of EVERYTHING against the left, even using right wing shooters against the left.
The day this pedo king strokes out will become a national holiday
Pedo king is fitting.
Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.
So we need some sort of …red army…?
Shit is the Russian Revolution a better model for what America’s upcoming period of political violence looks like? Because the “Second Civil War” invokes ideas of a clean boundary between belligerents, akin to the North/South. But it’s obvious that it won’t be like that this time, and until now I hadn’t considered Russia as a better example.
I will be so happy, i don’t even know what i will do.
I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They’ll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.
Is he really capable of leading the party he’s always struck me as the sort of person that would get out of depth in a slightly melted ice cube. Trump gets away with it because he just says it all does something ridiculous and then the story moves on to that. Vance doesn’t really command the kind of following they need.
Are any of them capable of leading the party?
It will definitely be a big baby step
The Cheeto is definitely a cult of personality, and I suspect it will be harder to rally all conservatives behind his replacement. Cult leaders dying can solidify a cult if done correctly (Scientology), but it’s also quite likely that it dissolves.
May these old republican asshats never have a peaceful day for as long as they live
Paywall removed
So fucking dystopian. People need to go to prison for this.
Why is my soup so cold? Blame the democrats!
Surely the false personation laws would apply here then?
They modified the out-of-office message to distribute a factually inaccurate statement, by using the shutdown recipient’s voice & inbound mail feed.
The email accounts are owned by the government. If this was their personal email, sure, but it’s not.
Edit to add: doesn’t make it right or justifiable, but there probably no legal recourse here.
Yeah but Harris supported Israel. So.
You’re right. This is rightful comeuppance for not supporting Israel enough. That’s surely the correct take here.
This is rightful comeuppance for not supporting Israel enough.
Have you forgotten about Trump’s Gaza Riviera?
…The stance being satirizedin the above comment is “American voters brought Trump on themselves by caring about Palestine”. How does Trump’s Gaza anything, in your mind, affect this?
If American voters really cared about Palestine then why did they vote for someone who’s far worse for Palestinians? I’m not buying this narrative of ‘Harris lost because of Gaza’.
Many of the ones who cared stayed home
Inaction is also an action
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
Frankly, me neither - you can take that narrative up with thread OP that brought it up. I’m just making fun of a scratched liberal.
Not that laws matter, but it’s a pretty clear violation of the Hatch Act.
Call me when any future Democratic AG’s do anything to prosecute any of this.
I’ll be holding my breath.

Not from the US, nor a lawyer, but how is this not fraud?
If someone pretends to be you, without your consent, is that not fraud?
You can ask me to change my out of office email and threaten me with being fired if I don’t, but if you just do it anyway, how is that not fraud?
Maybe not fraudulent, since it’s not asking for money, but I see where you’re coming from. I’m not sure if there’s any recourse for the employees affected - did they lose money (for example) because of that message?
Traitors to the United States
Blatant partisanship instead of helping Americans. woo. 🙄😒
No shame, no honor, no sense of decency at all. Just unhinged rabid dementia in a sociopathic rapist surrounded by arrogant nazis.
70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.
30% of the US is giggling with glee over these partisan statements forced on government workers while they fantasize about executions.
that 30% is looking more and more like a sexual deviant masturbating on a playground at 3am.
70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.
70% of the US didn’t vote like that though.
Less than 65% of americans voted in 2024
The point is the overwhelming majority of folks are MAGA true believers. A good chunk of that 70% voted for Trump, not because he convinced them hes a good president, but just as a vote against the status quo. They’ll support a better option for that if there is one presented.
Yeah because the status quo was worse than what’s going on now. 🙄
Americans are morons. There’s no reason to believe they’ll support a better option. They already didn’t in 2016 and again in 2024.
I meant a better option than Clinton or Harris. The dnc are incompetent.
Is there any grassroots movement for an alternative?
Again, American voters can’t just sit around and demand a better option without putting the work in.
All of the media we have used in the past to do such things, starting with Obama, are being controlled by propagandists. Twitter, Facebook, reddit. Theyre making it harder to not just be surrounded my propaganda.
Yes!
Well, '16 other option was an arrogant, self entitled, self serving, rotten cunt. Who made the decision to stay married to a philandering prick just for political cache.
other option was an arrogant, self entitled, self serving, rotten cunt.
But enough about Trump.
And should we talk about his personal life?
To clarify, I do hate Cheeto Chimp.
Half of half of half is not anywhere close to a majority.
It’s enough to change the result of an election.
Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler
You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal
Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.
Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.
Agreed.
We need to give courts the power to order people with guns to enforce their rulings, lowe courts too
We have that. Most judges can empower a Marshall or Marshalls. A federal judge can empower a federal Marshall and a state judge a state Marshall.
He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he’s just gonna flat out ignore it this time.
Agreed.
He’s too dumb, also near death, but mostly, he’s just too dumb. All of them are. Our saving grace is that the evil isn’t smart enough to succeed at evil.
I think we’re way past what’s legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.
It is. But nothing will be done about it
Does anyone have the article or at least what the wording was changed to ? Blocked by paywall for me
Google remove paywall
I’m reading lemmy using the Android voyager client, which seems to open the default Samsung browser which is quite limited in what it can do. I don’t see any options in the settings to force it to use Firefox, or any other browser unfortunately.
So googling for “remove paywall” is not helpful
I have no idea how similar the settings screens are, but in the iOS voyager client there is some kind of option if you go to:
settings
general
other
open links in…
Thanks, but unless I’m blind, there’s no such option in the android one.
There is most likely a way to open it in a real browser.
Wow…
it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?
34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he’s committed without being convicted.
i mean, technically you’re not a felon until you’re convicted of a felony.
Trump was convicted of those 34 felonies, he just wasn’t punished for them.
I know. I was saying how the parent comment said that he had other felonies, just wasn’t convicted of them. you’re not a felon until you’re convicted of a felony.
