Can't wait to check out e-Chirp.

For those non-IC folks, e-Chirp is essentially Twitter on the high side. It was intended to be an information sharing platform, but like all social media devolved into memes and pissing contests. It is, however, a somewhat useful tool to gauge the pulse of the IC to see what the worker bees are thinking and not necessarily what the policy makers are saying. And before OPSEC Wizard says something, this is all public knowledge.

I've never bothered checking it, but then again I make a point to limit my time on JWICS because for a while they had a sort of news page as the default homepage in every browser that showed all sorts of interesting information that I didn't feel comfortable looking at or knowing about.

e: State Department had a forum on OpenNet that people could use to bitch make suggestions about things. It was mostly a honeypot for firing contractors and ruining FSO's careers.

Virtually all the information to be found on JWICS is not worth looking at unless you're specifically looking for it. It's not like the internet where you can go on a Wikipedia rabbit hole, clicking from one article to the next. Unless you're directly involved in analysis or are extremely knowledgeable about tech stuff, it's pretty boring. On the other hand, most everything on SIPR has been boiled down and sanitized to the point where it makes sense to most people. This is where you can find cool gun cam video and poo poo like that. JWICS is set up by intel nerds, for intel nerds. The only other people who use it routinely are comm nerds, and that's mostly to make sure it's running properly.

Also on easy ways to kill your career, there was (is) a clone of Reddit on JWICS. Haven't checked it out in a while, but I imagine it's probably still a ghost town.

Four black teens kidnapped a special needs white man in Chicago. A woman streamed them on Facebook Live torturing and beating the guy up. He was forced to drink toilet water, had his head cut up, and the guys put cigarettes out on his wounds.

Well when one views an entire group of people as deplorable nazi racist scum they may feel justified in the actions against them. I think it's obvious they had no shame in this if they were posting it to facebook. The audience isn't supposed to feel remorse when the inglorious bastards are brutally murdering their enemies.

If it was a actual white supremacist, or even an actual neo-Nazi, getting tortured and humiliated and not some poor bastard who just happened to be white my reaction would be completely different.

Did you watch the video? Anyone who hasn't needs to.

Everyone involved should be hanging from street lamps.

Chicago PD chief however doesn't want to call it a hate crime. Which is a compelling reason to torch cop cars and police stations.

And this will accomplish what, exactly? I saw the video; it's reprehensible. There is no excuse for what what done. But they've been arrested. Unless the cops and DA gently caress up in the most idiotic fashion, this is an open and shut case. They're going to jail for the next couple of decades and will be forgotten about in short order. Hanging them from lampposts will turn them into martyrs and will only incite more hatred and resentment.

Well at least someone isn't going to look the other way on Donnie's friends. Ukraine was a tough call since they're not in NATO so starting a shooting war with them wasn't going to happen. Perhaps more sanctions than they got would have helped, maybe not.

Pence is a worthless piece of poo poo but if Donnie gets tossed out fast along with a bunch of his people I'll sleep easier.

Hopefully this is more of an attempt to hype the GOP base into a "gently caress Russia" mindset and start driving a wedge between them and Trump, and less of an attempt to seriously try to get a live reenactment of "On The Beach" going.

It's simple really. The high-level trumpers have basically decided that if you're pro-trump or helpful to trump, you are Good. That's how you get Gingrich, Palin, and Trump all praising Julian Assuage (lol) when even Trump was pushing for Julian's death in 2010.
