Replying to legorhin #jazardly

found another government employee to release https://x.com/NBCNews/status/2083241296756355350

Moreso an employee, his boss, and his boss's boss cuz I'm pretty sure so many people need to confirm this before it's shown publicly lol

(Not Spooky) Spark Dragon Aug 1, 2026 8:35 AM politics

The guy probably just said “hey boss got that presentation done.” And they just went with it without even looking at it. It’s the government they don’t take any extra seconds to do anything more than they have to

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:36 AM politics

nah, that's too efficient

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:36 AM politics

like Kribbles said, there were probably a huge number of do-nothings that all had to review and sign off on this

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:37 AM politics

From what I've done, it's like a 3 week review on every stupid little thing when it's sent externally. Especially publicly

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:38 AM politics

State Dep is also one of those funny organizations, where if you are competent at all, you work overseas in an embassy (the whole point of the org)

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:38 AM politics

if you're DC-based, you are a fuckup of a magnitude that would shock people

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:39 AM politics

or you're brand new, since I think your first 1-2 year rotational is training in one of the State Dep. Annexes

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:39 AM politics

Hey at least you get free food during the DRP thing and you get TSA precheck

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:39 AM politics

you also get a cool different colored passport

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:40 AM politics

though you get that too right Kribbles

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:40 AM politics

yours is red?

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:40 AM politics

Mine was brown idk

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:40 AM politics

yes, red

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:41 AM politics

ok, the new red is actually pretty brown and depressing

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:41 AM politics

idk when they changed it

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:42 AM politics

I never had to use it, no one gave a shit. And when I did use it, everyone freaked out and, like, fuckin' "thank you for service" shut up im a retard

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:43 AM politics

Oh, the older one is really bright red yeah

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:43 AM politics

it's actually really hard to find pics of all the different colors together

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:44 AM politics

These are my two passports

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:45 AM politics

(were)

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:45 AM politics

I had to return the official passport, but I've got to go get another official passport immediately again lol

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:47 AM politics

I hope they kept your old one to return to you

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:47 AM politics

and its all piss-stained or w/e they did to it in the Navy

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:50 AM politics

To bring it back, I would hate to work for the State Dep right now cuz they are about to have such a strenuous and rigorous review process moving forward that is over the top and completely obstructive.

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 8:51 AM politics

And then after a few years, dial it back and back until another accident like this happens.

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:53 AM politics

Semi related Twitter has been feeding me ads about buying citizenship visas for other countries

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:53 AM politics

Idk who it thinks I am

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 8:54 AM politics

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:57 AM politics

I dont quite understand the point of them

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:57 AM politics

But maybe im not rich enough

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:57 AM politics

Why would I need a different passport other than ig places that are hostile to to US like some of the middle east or china

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:59 AM politics

Unless Im able to setup alternate identities, then it could be useful

Regi Aug 1, 2026 8:59 AM politics

I still want a second ssn

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 9:00 AM politics

tax shielding and yeah, non-US visa perks

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 1, 2026 9:00 AM politics

Kribbles Aug 1, 2026 9:06 AM politics

Regi Aug 1, 2026 9:07 AM politics

Its always weird remembering just how big of a jump there is to the next tier of wealth

If you pick just china and india, you get probably a close enough result

SyrenBell Aug 2, 2026 4:40 PM politics

So close......

Gent Aug 2, 2026 5:08 PM politics

Hey, there are some okay middle eastern countries like Greece

Hey, there are some okay middle eastern countries like Greece

Greece gets grandfathered in because it contributed to civilization a long time ago

@mint congrats! party time

Whatre we congratsing

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 10:34 AM politics

Abdul El Sayad won in Michigan

Regi Aug 5, 2026 10:58 AM politics

From the 5s of news i watched yday of him talking he seemed alright

Regi Aug 5, 2026 10:59 AM politics

I have no idea what party he was, tho i assume being non white he is dem, or what he has been pushing

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:08 AM politics

Yeah he's anti israel and against money in politics

mint Aug 5, 2026 11:23 AM politics

Hell yeah, was apart of the volunteer team for Abdul, although ended up bailing on my shift due to work conflicts. Did not expect this tight of a win ngl. if only bloomquist could have also won.

mint Aug 5, 2026 11:24 AM politics

I tired to stay up and watch the call but that went on way too late

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:24 AM politics

1% margin, fun to see

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:24 AM politics

It wasn't called until like 8 or 9am

mint Aug 5, 2026 11:25 AM politics

Lots of 1 percent margins last night. Michigan always wins by 1 percent margins

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:25 AM politics

Virginia had a different kind of 1%

mint Aug 5, 2026 11:25 AM politics

Yeah but most news broadcasters called it at like 3am

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:25 AM politics

1% turnout

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:25 AM politics

really? for the 18-25 y/o's?

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:26 AM politics

We had our real primary earlier this year for redistricting, no one cared at all about the vote last night

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:26 AM politics

Even the people running, since all the campaigns were for the unfunny gerrymandered districts that got overturned by the VA supreme court

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:27 AM politics

When those got thrown out, everyone just went home, idk if there were any real primary challenges at all

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:28 AM politics

My precinct had 4 total ballots cast

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:28 AM politics

I was not one of them

Dialga Aug 5, 2026 11:29 AM politics
