Hello my name is Daniel Hodges. You might know me as Every White Guy who was at the Capitol on 1/6, both insurrectionists and officers. It was a clever ruse though; I was just the one guy in the last photo. Still am, really!

When I read this I thought for a second OP was suggesting Joe Biden is a living female hostage.

ICYMI:

Stephen Miller's spouse doesn't know Joe Biden exists.

A screencap of a tweet from Katie Miller.

Why are there no living female hostages?

"Accountability" is a polite word that elites use when they intend to do nothing. We need retribution. I explain here what that means. www.editorialboard.com/under-trump-...

Under Trump, there is no law. The people want payback

Forget accountability, says legal expert. Think retribution.

Insurrectionist is mad at Trump because he didn't pardon everyone hard enough, and also hasn't paid for all of their living expenses for the rest of their lives.

The latest wave are likely all True Believers and possibly unemployable elsewhere. People who had been there should have been alright.

The thing is they wouldn't be unemployable if they had quit. Actual police departments across the country are understaffed and would have hired them.

Now they're gonna be unhireable when this administration leaves and ICE is gutted.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I have never in my life seen anything like what is going on between the Broadview police force and ICE. These federal agents just do not give a shit about any kind of back the blue solidarity. Gas, verbal abuse, time wasting.

This article about how Republicans have been promising a healthcare plan but never delivering is from 2020.

Trump has been claiming he's gonna fix healthcare since the Year of our Lord Twenty Fifteen. A decade ago.

I feel like Congressional Staff are the civilian equivalent of the E-4 Mafia and if they don't get paid there's gonna be a government shutdown of a different sort.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance

An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

I know this is serious and all but the near-end of the optic looks like a pair of lips and it makes it look like goon is warning you in a very silly high pitched-voice, like, "whyyy I oughta...!"

This isn't to say *no one* cares. There are other officers who do and I haven't conducted a formal survey. It's just not as much of a hot topic as you'd think.

Journalists and congressional staff have asked me what MPD officers think of the federalization shenanigans in DC.

If you are reading this, you are an outlier in terms of civic attentiveness. 1/3rd of Americans didn't vote last election. Most officers don't care. Apathy is the slow death of the US.

Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray” @ryanjreilly.com · 13d

One important fact to remember when considering the power of memes and partisan messaging from components of the executive branch is that less than half of Americans can name all three branches of government.

Trump administration uses government websites and email messages to pin the shutdown on Democrats

Some federal workers received suggested templates of out-of-office emails saying they were furloughed because "Democrat Senators are blocking passage" of a funding bill.

Trump is the first nine months has been eminently stoppable, it's just that no one responsible for doing so has done their job.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13d

QUICK: Democrats suggest that these layoffs would happen anyway whether the government it shut down or not

BESSENT: It's a talking point. They're making up excuses. I think that this is an opportunity. President Trump in the first nine months now has been unstoppable.
