Greg Bovino's "performative horsesh*t" is absurd and laughable, but it's achieving its purpose - playacting for Donald Trump, and signaling to the people of Chicago that he's an occupier, not a law enforcer.

Pay attention.

"Plenary authority is legal power that is full, complete, and unrestricted in a specific area. When used in reference to government officials, the term "plenary power" is more common."

My Magic 8 Ball says, "All signs point to buckle the f*%k up."
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

What complete performative bullshit. Kash Patel and the Trump Regime are trying to turn the FBI into a reality TV joke. I highly commend this special agent for standing up for what is right.

I fear yesterday’s hearing won’t amount to real accountability. Which means it’ll fall to us to inform and speak truth.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

So awkward to be living through a dystopian novel about techno-fascist billionaires who have banded together with white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and international dictators in an attempt to overthrow democracy and commit genocide, all to establish tech-enabled fiefdoms in their wake.
