Security by obscurity is not really a good strategy. Lemmy is small potatoes, sure. But that just means they can devote a small number of assets to effectively monitor it.

…it’s safe to say that Pam Bondi’s DoJ did not put its best and brightest on this (admittedly gargantuan) undertaking
Actually they did. It’s just that their best and brightest are fairly dim.

A 2013 email exchange with the British billionaire Richard Branson hinted that he, too, had a familiar relationship with Mr. Epstein. “It was really nice seeing you yesterday,” Mr. Branson wrote, adding: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!” A Branson representative said the two had a business meeting and stressed that the women were adults and had not attended the meeting .
So his reaction is, “They didn’t come to the meeting! I swear! They were just eye candy!” Like the women participating in the meeting is the scandalous part?


A Homeland Security representative responded to the demand saying, “Yeah, or what?” before high-fiving his secretary and walking off laughing.


It’s good to see all this come out, but I bet they don’t get more than a slap on the wrist that they’ll write off as a cost of doing business and then just keep doing the same sleazy shit.


And how do you re-check that eligibility? Is every state supposed to send a postcard to every voter every thirty days, and require every voter to respond affirmatively to prove they are still at that address? That is so monumentally absurd it’s source could only be The Heritage Foundation.


You and I know that, but the cops he’s training eat that shit up and then wet their pants in terror when an acorn falls on their squad car .


The problem is fear. In general, we don’t teach cops how to deal with complex situations. We don’t teach them how to deescalate potentially dangerous situations. We don’t teach them how to peacefully resolve conflicts. All they are taught now is Killology (AKA Warrior Training).
Grossman’s America is a terrifying place where police are both the primary targets of and defenders against superpredation. “Increasingly the police must face organized opponents armed with assault rifles and bombs,” Grossman says at the outset of the class, citing an “explosion in violent crime” and an “extraordinary rise in violence” in the streets of America.
…
Grossman maintains that America is now scarier than ever—and that cops may well be the ones with the most to fear. “We know that if it were not for all the body armor, bulletproof vests worn by officers, law enforcement fatalities in the United States would easily be double or even triple what they are today,” Grossman asserts. “If this is not war, then you tell me what is.”
Cops out there now are terrified that they are constantly in the sights of one bad guy or another. They are in a state of constant terror that anyone might pull out a gun and murder them. People in that mindset cannot be trusted to be “peace” officers.


Fahey said. “Really the only time, at least in my interpretation, where it would not apply would be a situation where there’s an agent that just goes off on a lark and does something like robs a liquor store or something that just has nothing to do with what they’re supposed to be doing.”
Something like murdering an innocent man who they should never have laid hands on in the first place? His legal, official job was not to abuse protesters or assault people trying to dicuss events.


Judges have threatened them with contempt several times now and not a one has followed through.
I think this is the closest they’ve come and all he did is refer it to an inquiry into whether or not they did commit contempt. An inquiry, that I might add, was immediately put on hold by a court of appeals.
This is not a step forward. It’s the same thing over and over. It’s nothing but theater until they actually lock them up.


“The court’s patience is at an end,” U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz
Prove it. Lock some of these fuckers up until they comply with the court’s orders. Stop playing nice!


Fair point. Thanks for the correction.


To paraphrase my betters, I would never wish a man dead but I long to read this fuckers obituary. Ah, who am I kidding. I’m wishing as hard as I can for more than a few of these guys shuck their mortal coils.


The Nazis are not the ones with the moral morale problems, I’m sure. They are all walking around at half-mast over the hate they are receiving and the atrocities they are committing.


The cause of his injuries is still unknown. According to the lawsuit, officers told hospital staff that he was “laying down in handcuffs when he attempted to flee, and then, for unknown reasons, purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
And I’ll bet those officers had a hard time keeping a straight face while they spouted that bullshit too. Considering what has been happening on the streets in plain view of God and everyone, I shudder to think of what is happening to these people when ICE gets them behind closed doors.


Right?! Why the fuck weren’t the agents blocking the investigation arrested for obstruction of justice?! What the hell is going on?


As far as I’ve heard, they are not saying he was “holding” a gun, just that he had a gun. MN is an open carry state. He may have just had a gun on his belt or something and they decided to protect themselves by killing him.


10 percent of Telly’s shipments through FedEx arrived broken
No big surprise there. Shipments I get through FedEx are always beat to hell.
No. Hanging is honestly too good for them. I want them all relegated to the status of second class citizens and treated the way that they have treated the good, law-abiding immigrants and citizens of this country for the rest of their lives. Let the next generation grow up seeing first hand what happens to fascists and their enablers and maybe our descendants won’t have to live through it all again in 50 or 80 years.
