part--not most, but part--of the issue here is that u.s. law enforcement has heavily bought into the idea that it needs to dress and arm like it is fighting a running battle in swat valley rather than dealing with u.s. citizens in suburban neighborhoods
ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
This was always the core proposition of right wing politics: there are special people who matter who have basically unlimited freedom, and that freedom includes a duty to batter fuck out of anyone who threatens their special status. This is what happens when the slider moves all the way right.

This idea that Scottish voters in particular would flock to **Wes Streeting** is hilarious.
"SCOTTISH Labour MPS are privately calling for Wes Streeting to stand against Sir Keir Starmer before May to avoid a wipeout in the Holyrood election, The Telegraph can reveal.
"The Health Secretary’s allies are pushing for a “Wes coronation” to give Labour new energy in Scotland..."

One of the most maddening things about our current government is the way that they seem to think that if you find the right ambiguity of framing, they can continue to have it both ways and be everyone’s friend indefinitely.
Darren Jones is asked if the US bombing Venezuela & abducting its leader was lawful
Jones says he won't give a view on the action & he goes on to say its not up to politicians to make judgements on international law. Phillips points out thats exactly what they've done on Ukraine

We joke, but this is literally what has happened.
UK Sensible Centrists in 2019: "It is the absolute duty of the Labour leader to condemn every single bad Facebook post."
UK Sensible Centrists in 2026: "Not only is it very good the Labour leader isn't condemning flagrant breaches of international law it's also extremely smart."
