Drinking Liberally — Seattle

by Darryl — Tuesday, 1/28/25, 5:13 pm

DLBottleWe’re back to Tuesday. That means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will gather at the Roanoke to engage in conversation, celebration, commemoration and commensuration over a cocktail. Stop by, if you can.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room of the pub. We start at 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

    WOPR was harder for Matthew Broderick to hack spews:

    So about that letter to civil servants telling them to return to office or take a buyout and resign.

    The IT folks in my life have their hair on fire. It was sent as a plain text message, no encoding and included an opt it button to resign in the body of the email,

    Assuming the Tech Freaks now trying to run the show knew what they were doing about cybersecurity many people forwarded it to the press. So now that it’s out there, anyone can copy the code for the resign button and if you know the proper email of a Federal employee….resign them.

    Also those unencoded buttons in an email are a really high hacking risk as it gives someone with the knowledge, or even a small amount of Chrome “Inspect Page” skills the destination IP that is naturally a US Government server somewhere.

    Like for real.

    And they are worried about the security breech possibilities of TikTok.

    If presidents can’t be sued while in office because that would distract them from their official duties, then they can’t sue while in office, either, for the same reason. Therefore,

    Lawyers for the board that awards Pulitzer Prizes asked a Florida state court to pause the defamation lawsuit President Trump filed against board members in 2022 until Trump is no longer president.

    @1 The boxes and boxes of classified docs in the Mar-a-Lago shitter and Tulsi Gabbard’s nom for DNS tells you the orange guy at the top doesn’t give a fucking tinker’s damn about security.

    In fact, setting up federal workers and federal agency servers for hacking probably is deliberate.

    Republicans have been telling us for years they hate government and want to destroy it. We should believe them.

    Trump is getting back at Gen. Mark Milley the only way he can: Revoking his security clearance and pulling his personal security detail.

    Hegseth will also direct a review to consider if Milley should be stripped of a star in retirement based on actions that “undermine the chain of command,” Fox News reported on Tuesday.

    Of course it will be stripped and his retirement pay cut.

    The last portrait of Milley will also be removed from the Pentagon, Fox News reported.

    Beyond petty, but to be expected.

    I don’t know if this is a harbinger of things to come. I don’t know if Trump froze farm support payments. If Democrats win Florida’s April 1 special elections, it’ll be almost impossible not to believe a serious backlash is afoot.

    By now it’s becoming clear Trump will ignore the Constitution, statutes, separation of powers, civilized norms, and public outrage and do whatever he wants, and it will be up to courts to rein him in. This is going to be a Full Employment For Lawyers administration.

    The trick behind Trump’s offer of severance pay to federal workers who resign by next week is that he “doesn’t have the authority to even make that offer” and there’s “no budget line item to pay” the promised severance, so once they quit they’ll discover the promise of severance pay is unenforceable.
