Oh my fucking God. This is...holy shit.

Shocking. Shocking, I tell ya.

The elimination of talent and expertise in our government is a core thrust of trumps project 2025. The heritage foundation is all about destroying representative democracy, point blank.

“Noem’s and McLaughlin’s threats [have become] official DHS policy. In a series of videos that I have compiled over the past few weeks, ICE and DHS agents are seen pulling over people who follow them and issuing scripted ‘warnings’ that the observers will be arrested if they continue recording.” /2

The loss of talent is probably the most dramatic part, because you don't just hire someone to replace 20 years of investigative time-in-grade in a specialized area.

Never even mind potential witnesses refusing to talk to anyone due to loss of reputation.

The loss of talent and the air of complacency and incompetence from the top is going to jeopardise some major cases over the next few years.

Not just partisan ones like this, but cases that it’s in EVERYONE’S interest to see handled professionally.

Probably the same guy who's terrified that a gold digger will cut into his Olive Garden coupons stack.

No, that's a motion to dismiss or a directed verdict

This is absolutely untrue, defense of others is recognized as justification for use of deadly force in every state and in general the question is whether the individual reasonably believed that deadly force was necessary to prevent the use of deadly force, someone who just used it retreating…

This isn’t “any other way of using it is wrong!” But holy shit do I not owe anyone my attention nor do I owe anyone the ability to use my space as a platform. For whatever reason I damn well feel like.

Always. It can be pretty pronounced in people who grew up with money and privilege, because no one ever tells the precious prodigy that he might be wrong. So, they never learn, never expand their horizons in any reasonable direction and are bait for swindlers.
