There can be zero doubt that we would see armed, violent resistance from the "come and take it" 2A crowd if a future Democratic POTUS and congress were to turbocharge the ATF and send federal law enforcement and military units into red counties to aggressively enforce gun laws in this manner.

Michael Hayden spoke to my National War College class in 2017. Said that every institution that relies on objective truth — science, the judiciary, the media, the intelligence community — were under attack. ATT, had no idea how right he was.

It's so much easier being white, when every single good thing happens to me because of my own personal merit but every single bad thing is because I'm a victim of reverse racism.

One thing that's fun is that if you're black and you don't have much experience, it's woke dei if you get the job, and if you're black and you have all the experience in the world, you're an out of touch elite who is not really black and doesn't deserve the job.

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?

What is his title?

What is his job?

What is his official position in the US government?

If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

What a story:

“Lewandowski and Noem, both married, have denied the reports of the affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship.

“The pair have been using a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, for their travel around the country”

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties.

That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

Rep. Crockett blasts Bondi with truth and nothing but the whole truth

Pamela Jo Bondi will be remembered in the annals of history as the most corrupt Attorney General that the DOJ has ever had in the US

Hoping she spends time in jail. But most likely he will pardon her.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
