Going forward, I will be less present here than I have been. I was just counseled about posting during duty hours... [View all]

Maybe you remember my post with the message from President Biden on March 8th:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218758764

I posted it from my work computer during a break in the action, between a meeting and a teleconference in fact. However, it was flagged as inappropriate use of government resources (My work computer, and DOD bandwidth).

Well, I can't argue that they're wrong.

I was using both those things to post it.

So, I will not be on DU during my workdays, not even to post a lunch break playlist.

I'm not here to bitch that the deep state is against me, or to claim that my rights are somehow being violated.

That's the shit MAGA does.

Simply put, I thought my computer usage was within policy, but I was wrong.

So, if there are gaps in my responses, it's probably because I just don't like any of ya and I'm giving you the cold shoulder.

Or maybe I'm at work.

Peace
