There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

They are absolutely right. The current AG of the DOJ is protecting powerful pedophiles and putting their victims in jeopardy. Just despicable. Pam Bondi must be disbarred for being so dishonest and then charged for crimes when this regime is done.
BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence!
“I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and thought that could scare us by putting our names out.”

When this criminal regime has run its course and we have responsible leadership once again, we need to go scorched earth against the corruption and criminality that these people have done in betraying the country. I trust one man to be the Attorney General of the United States.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how the regime is burning taxpayer money and driving up the deficit.
We now have confirmation that the Social Circle warehouse cost ICE $130 million, bringing the total spent on warehouses to $714 million. ICE is also reportedly planning on buying a second warehouse in Oakwood, GA and is finalizing the sale now.
Billions more will be spent on retrofitting/staffing.
