So no shadow government seems like an own goal. Shadow all the bureaus. Shadow military. Shadow everything. If 'we' were in charge 'we' would do this.

Carlin had a bit on the death penalty for drug dealers.
"This is really stupid. Drug dealers aren't afraid to die. ... The bankers who launder the drug money: they're afraid to die."

There are many reasons we don’t let drug warriors play judge, jury, and executioner — like killing innocent civilians. No doubt Hegseth would have cheered this shoot down of a suspected drug flight over Peru in 2001. Whoops, it turned out to be US missionary Veronica Bowers & infant daughter.

De-Wokeification giving De-Baathification vibes.

De-Wokeification giving De-Baathification vibes.
![The doctrine which, from the very first origin of religious dissensions, has been held by bigots of all sects, when condensed into a few words and stripped of rhetorical disguise, is simply this: I am in the right, and you are in the wrong. When you are the stronger, you ought to tolerate me, for it is your duty to tolerate truth; but when I am the stronger, I shall persecute you, for it is my duty to persecute error.

Of course, just normal caloric erosion — being able to grow less and less food — is itself pretty terrifying.

De-Ba'athification did not turn out well in Iraq. But sure let's do the local version. Fire many/most of the smartest most disciplined members of civil society. No jobs but families, guns, guilt, grievances and no fucks. #preem
