NDAs are the biggest crock of shit ever and should be made universally null and void, yes, even in cases where they’re valid. What the fuck is the point of having freedom of speech if someone can just coerce/threaten/force you to into signing it away?

Technically a Page 13 in a government/military setting is an NDA. Now in your ideal world, sure, you’d never need to keep secrets, but in the real world, you probably don’t want a potential invader to know your exact defense systems, capabilities, guard locations and the best and least guarded places to come in and out.

Even assuming a completely peaceful world, you probably don’t want to be sharing the passwords to critical infrastructure or the private medical information of people on a hospital database.

Not just the US military - any military. Plus the designs for nuclear weapons, bioweapons and chemical weapons becoming public knowledge. How would you like some plague and radiation for breakfast, white phosphorus for lunch, and then nerve gas for dinner?

I think there is an argument to keep them for things like products in development phases to stop people from blabbing to possible competitors, but this particular situation is bullshit.

That could easily be solved by just removing competition from our economy. Lets just work together on shit, that’s a lot better for everyone.

GOOD. No way NDAs should even be a thing for something like this.

Congratulations to Jessica Denson!

This has been years in the making. We’re going to see a shitload more reports (and books) of how incredibly fucked the entire campaigns and administration was under that orange fuckwit.

Nothing in this article mentioned that. Unless I missed it too.

So this is just some guy on the Internet spewing bs at this point.

Wasn’t there like a testimony from an FBI guy about the pee tapes or something though? I think there was no hard evidence, but the pee tapes at least have to some plausibility.

Wasn’t there the theory that he was so friendly with Putin because they have video footage of him getting peed on by Moscow hookers?

No, it was him watching Moscow hookers pissing on a bed in the presidential suite of a hotel, with a previous resident of that room being Obama. It’s been a while since I thought about the piss tape.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
