This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.
BREAKING: Authorities will release the person of interest in the Brown University shooting, officials said, as the investigation continues.

Well, unless you’re building Noah’s Ark to flee the storm caused by your incompetence, it’s an arch.

Can someone explain that to him? Thanks.

Wondering about these crazy drug trafficker pardons? Wonder no more. This is Alice Marie Johnson, Trump's Pardon Czar. She is a convicted Cocaine trafficker that was pardoned by Trump in 2020. Make sense now?

Everywhere and nowhere, Antifa remains Schrödinger’s threat.
