Per "Jack Reacher", "There are four kinds of people who join the military: following a family trade, patriots who want to serve, looking for a job, and those who want a legal means of killing others."

The military vets their recruits.

ICE is hiring rapists and thugs because they don't care.

I'm noting this because I recall in the last administration they intentionally lifted that vetting - they want the worst people to terrify the rest of us.

Let's shake it up a little and see what horrors drop out? Because I guarantee there are rapists and child molesters that ICE has hired & armed.

Who will ask this question to the WH press secretary or the DHS puppy killer:

"How many ICE agents applicants have been rejected because of past sexual assault or child pornography convictions?"

Just like that, because when they say, "None!", the follow-up:

"Are you vetting them at all?" 🧐

But like this earlier story, it involves a married straight man having sex with a woman or women introduced to him by Epstein.

This has always been the Chump way: play the short game because you'll have gotten the grift money and be gone before the long game becomes important.

Translation: burn your allies, burn your sources, burn your bridges.

I had seen a Guardian article outlining exactly this in more detail - and now I can't find it... 😖

But it sounds like an interesting prospect. Newsome here in CA should threaten it and start moving on it as soon and as loudly as possible!

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

This is an AMAZING idea:

"THE EPSTEIN SHUTDOWN!"

They should say it every single time it is referenced!

The withholding of taxes is an interesting option.

What if states (eg. California) simply said, "No taxation without representation", and collected federal taxes and held them in escrow?

Hmmm....

Oh, absolutely!

What stuns me is the lack of responsibility and agency here. It's as if all of these terrible things happened to him, like being struck by hail. And not that he is responsible for them happening.

Thank goodness she & her daughter got away from him.

RPO = Risk Protection Order (thx to the comments.)
Translation: he owned guns and was mentally unstable enough that he was involuntarily committed for three days and they took his guns away.

"Why doesn't anybody want to live with me and my mental illness and my guns? Whaaaa"
