Integrity: Glass Houses
Inwegen
While the politics underlying this attack are debatable, they are hard to understand. Apparently Yui can't lead, and apparently Yui has been a terrible President. This is an argument, sure, but it's not an argument overly concerned with facts. For example, we are to accept unifying the country around resource wars and expertly organizing NSC as a happy accident. We are led to believe that a slow month mechanically in the Summer is Yui's fault, and of course we are meant to ignore everything Yui actually is doing in Iberia. We are meant to ignore the fact that Yui's media has been candid and consistent long before the 25th.
It is a false narrative, but this is politics and I can respect that. You don't win elections with a fair accounting of your opponents accomplishments, I get that.
What I absolutely cannot respect is the level of unfounded personal attacks I see going on around me as well as the abuse of trust and assumed privacy that has facilitated these attacks. Leaking from the Presidential Daily Briefing is beyond unprofessional, it's short sighted and moronic. Privacy is assumed there because there needs to be a place where the President can be given his advisor's honest opinions without fear of retribution or backlash. To violate the sanctity of that trust is to weaken the country, and last I checked, the country didn't stop being priority #1 during election weeks. Others have been stripped of national positions and privileges at all levels from party to Executive for far lesser offences.
It might not help to complain that the complaints against Yui were out of context, but it certainly doesn't hurt that anyone reading them can see how ridiculous they are. Yui watches TV? Yui's advisors wanted him to write an article? Joking in the PDB? Come on Tenshibo, you have to be able to do better than that. You're destroying your political career, and burning how many bridges, because the President likes Doctor Who? Because the President had some major life events that far outweigh this game?
I'm not saying Yui has been perfect. Then again, no President has been and there is always room for improvement. What Yui has done, however, is his best actually leading the eUnited States and learning/adapting on the fly as needed. That's not a political thing, that's just how he plays the game and has grown immensely as a result. I wonder if those criticizing him can say the same.
And calling Yui childish? Glass houses, Tenshibo. Glass houses.
It used to be different. I can't count the number of times I put aside feuds to serve the acting President and, therefore, the nation. There used to be more of us who cared more about integrity and the country than petty feuds. I know some of you still do. Let's return to that America. We have the power to play this game with integrity. Let's stop tolerating those of us who refuse to do so.

Thank you.
Man!! I was going to thank him but now I'll just look like a boring copycat...
which I am boring so that works
Was not for any personal gain or to piss anyone off. Just meant to set the facts straight.

You do realize your article droned on and on and on I fell asleep.
I know. My article was so long it lasted longer than your relevancy.
And you have been relevant when?
There's an entire article about me written by an oldfag who just returned that's about to hit t5... So I guess right now.
If you consider being called a child relevant sure.
This guy recruited me to USWP years ago.
I recruited Pfeiffer to the USWP years ago. Rainy Sunday too. 🙂
Fucking rekt
lol
AT LONG LAST - as if this is even the first time.
alright, so now what?
Tenshibo violated a huge trust-- that's the issue.
Congress has a rule about making public things that happen in the Private area. I think it's an automatic Censure, maybe even Blacklisting, and then the offended can opt to beg his way back into good graces after (maybe) a mandatory down time.
but what about the Executive? what's the rule? or is there one?
will we see a round of admonishments, then a different President who loves him makes it all better and nothing that happened here matters?

About a Violation of Trust
Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done. A president can choose whomever they want to serve. That's the way it works. Nothing in the law that says Congress can't blacklist for executive violations though. Could be seen as a stretch or a way to exert influence on the exec. That's up to Congress to decide.
as the circle jerks rant...
"Reserved for Integrity", now that it is some true comedy (but, very sad if you actually believe it)
Now that I think on it, Ten's violation of the PDB is a terrible precedent. Thanks for the article.
Anything for you, bud. :3
Tenshibo shot himself in the foot. I'm all for freedom of the press, but not when it goes directly against the government.
Then again, this election isn't even real anymore, so what's the point. To talk too much.

FIST
Looking forward to voting for YUI!
I'm new at this game, can anyone help me with any tank, food, or money ??
hi Inwegen, nice seeing you 🙂
Am I supposed to be mad about this?
Inwegen and his cabal make me mad for some reason and this is the pot calling the kettle black. Wait, maybe he's right? No, he's mad. Words? Lots of words? More words than that? A mere expression of the angst amongst us!
Thanks for checking in!
