Literally the short hand for evil
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

it is genuinely hilarious when you move faster than other people and they get angry instead of just being happy and accepting work that they were either going to have to do later or simply not going to get around to on time

The funny thing is even if you go to the point of cracking open the CIA handbook, the people replacing you will almost certainly be more incompetent than you could ever pretend to be
On the question of whether to quit over principles or stay and try to resist from within, the answer seems clear as far as lawyers who are needed to file cases is concerned: quit
Hard to overstate the degree to which DOJ's simple manpower bandwidth has totally collapsed, at a time when the government is being overwhelmed with litigation against its crime spree, because attorneys are quitting en masse and willing new hires are both few in number and wildly unqualified.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

"Jeffrey Epstein is believed by most to be a stock character from the early 3rd millennium used in insults. To say one was 'in the Epstein files' was to call them sexually depraved. Some believe that Epstein was a real person, but if so, likely one who has been grossly exaggerated" - Fr. Antos, 3037
In 1000 years they're going to think he was a mythological figure.

Everyone needs to read “Waging a Good War.”
It’s short, informative, and explains the brilliant tactical reasoning that the civil rights leaders used - including “intentionally getting arrested.”

David Attenborough: “Having tired of actually beginning to win for once, the leftist does a classic maneuver and begins to turn on its nominative allies. This ‘own goal’ is a favored technique in the protest season, and ensures that they will never actually have to reckon, with holding power.”

In these difficult times, when ICE agents are demoralized by the onslaught of leftist antifa warriors and unsure if they might even come home safely, the least you can do is provide aid and comfort to their struggling wives. They don't have to know—but it's funnier if they do.
they're talking about fucking ICE agents' wives on the other site

haul Bovino’s ass in front of the judge every six hours to explain this shit
keep hauling him in, hold him in contempt, make his life miserable until he tells his goons to cut it out

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I think it's good actually if someone whose takes I've hated does a good thing for a good reason and is sincere about it
yeah I want to be clear that there are thousands of people doing what I’m doing and there’s absolutely no way I could do it without their heroic contributions. I have been trying to draw attention to what’s happening here because I’ve got enough of a platform to talk about it safely.
there are people with actually good politics who have been doing what he's doing for much longer and who understand it's best practice not log on and document your every move. he's obviously going to be so annoying about this the next time he sees someone complain about grocery prices or something

Pitch: Eat The Reich with ICE agents
Someone will make a John Wick-style movie that is entirely just set pieces where they depict increasingly brutal and elaborate means of killing former ICE agents working as hired muscle or whatever (plot unimportant) and it will make a billion dollars
