- bathtub365 6mo agoSure, but look at who controls the national security apparatus in the US at the moment.

- analognoise 6mo agoWho should have never been allowed to run, both for his felony criminal conviction, his plot to tamper with the election, and of course the assault on the capitol. This is before we even add on the Epstein stuff, or his latest war. It’s pretty clear Trump is a threat and everyone in his orbit needs to end up in prison.

- myvoiceismypass 6mo agoAnyone that supports a person who tried to stop the legal and rightful transfer of power in 2021 has no respect for democracy or the Constitution.

- analognoise 6mo agoFirst off, he's on tape tampering with elections. That should have been enough. Second off: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgawtcOBBjr-xOvmmc6y3VsbjfXqJXsfl https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgawtcOBBjr-xOvmmc6y3... Third off: His felony conviction should have resulted in jail time. Finally: Any one of these should have been disqualifying. This is before we get into Trump's role in the Trump-Epstein files.
- Sabinus 6mo agoIf you add the false electors scheme to Jan 6, it certainly looks like he had a real crack at subverting the election.
- benterix 6mo ago> A duly elected President, as it’s always been. Imagine you elect the president because he promises he will finish wars instead of starting them. And after it's elected, he's doing exactly the opposite. Philosophical question: ws he elected 'duly'?
- k33n 6mo agoI didn’t elect him to “finish all wars”. > ws he elected 'duly' (sic) Yes
- myvoiceismypass 6mo agoExecutive orders and other decrees that read like a demented toddler, announced in the middle of the night, on a a third rate social media site.... as its always been.
- tasuki 6mo agoYes, I suppose. Remember people are parts of various nations. Your "national security threat" might be a "national security opportunity" for someone else ;)
- jmcgough 6mo agoLeaking classified information is a crime, and I don't see why foreign adversaries can't monitor Polymarket to get advanced warning of military actions. A less corrupt US government would ban betting on matters involving national security.
- tasuki 6mo ago> I don't see why foreign adversaries can't monitor Polymarket to get advanced warning of military actions. They can and I'm sure they do. If you were about to be hit by the most powerful army in the world, wouldn't you want to have some advance warning?
- krapp 6mo agoAlso I doubt any adversary worth their salt needs to monitor Polymarket. I remember reading once that when the US was working on the SR-71 Blackbird out in the desert the Soviets could read its cross section by using satellites to pick up the thermal signature its presence on the ground left behind. State level actors aren't doing pedestrian stuff like watching pizza deliveries to guess what the Pentagon is up to.
