This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Associates of the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese crime families syndicates allegedly backed a multimillion-dollar poker con that uses elaborate technology to cheat unsuspecting players — and brought rare, unappreciated light to the mob's shadowy operations, officials say.

A string of federal operations decades ago nearly decimated New York's major crime families, but they haven't completely gone away.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

It seems Glenn Beck and his ilk are preparing their followers for two possible futures: a) permanent and complete GOP control of the federal government or b) massive resistance to a Democratic victory that will make J6 look like a garden party. One thing they’re not prepping folks for is democracy.

Glenn Beck @@glennbeck•1d
Speaker Mike Johnson just confirmed something | have been warning about for over a decade: Anarchists, Islamists, communists, and socialists are working together to overthrow the West. I was called crazy for predicting this coalition, which we now know as the Democratic Party.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.
