the Trump confidential relations scheme has to be the single most successful intelligence operation in history. they're just doing laps on us now lmfao. respect
I have spoken with several senior FBI counterintelligence officers who believe that there is a reasonably strong prospect that Tulsi Gabbard is a foreign intelligence asset.
As you read WSJ's piece on the super-secret abuse complaint about Tulsi Gabbard, remember that she tried unsuccessfully to wring counterintelligence function away from FBI last year.

This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.
Originally published on 6/2/2020 (after the killing of George Floyd), this cartoon seems all too relevant again today.

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

season 3 of Fargo is also amazing and does not get the credit it deserves. Nikki Swango is such a good character

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

unpopular opinion but imo the Obamas have given enough of their lives to this country and expecting them to be perfect or give more is pathologically insane. idk why we expect leadership to be a lifetime sentence. we have other leaders!

Expanding gun ownership in response to ICE’s horrific violence is not a path toward safety or liberation, argues epidemiologist Rachel Hoopsick.

It is a path to more death, more political weakness, and deeper entrenchment of the very forces the Left opposes.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

they are scared shitless of an armed populace willing to hold them accountable at gunpoint. the whole thing collapses if we have militias of armed citizens on the streets defending other citizens against the agents of tyranny.

the reason they're shooting the one guy with a gun is that he's just the one guy with a gun. they know it's over if there are armed gangs of men roving around because then they can't shoot without risking getting shot. it's pretty simple deterrence theory guys. world's not that complicated
