    Governor Tim Walz—whom the White House has blamed for inciting violence—and the two men are now on “a similar wavelength.”

      The way responsibility has been diffused throughout the command structure is exactly what RICO is for. That said, I don’t think it’s ever been used on a Federal agency before.

      Ha, they will be misfiled to prevent anyone doing that, or court order forcing them. The explosive stuff anyway, if not destroyed.

      Also though copied to prez’s legal fixers, and maybe others. Prez is a lifelong blackmailer.

    peak of his career really did turn out to be prancing around at a few gas stations in an ugly coat trying to look tough.

    time for more local organizing while they try a new tactic.

      Then I heard him on TV, trying to sound tough with a voice like a cartoon character. These guys really have a weird vision of who is cool or scary. Stephen PeeWee Himmler Miller thinks he sounds tough, and he always sounds like a screeching weenie. I guess this is what a tough guy looks like to him.

    the first scapegoat.

    I kinda suspect that the administration was told or it was heavily suggested by higher ups in the military that “yeah…if you go with this insurrection act we’re not going to have your backs on this one.” Otherwise why would they be throwing Bovino under the bus for this?

    What has happened thus far is apparently what they wanted according to project 25 but like I said I suspect they don’t have the support of the people they NEED the support from.

      It would be nothing short of miraculous if that plan falls through just because it became wildly unpopular. This brings two things to mind:

      1. It would explain why there’s a phased rollout of worse and worse policy with a lot of improv along the way. Otherwise, all this shit would “just happen” inside the first year.

      2. It’s not hard to imagine these asswipes acting in a retaliatory manner for not getting their way. But what’s worse is to imagine a failing MAGA or P2025 cabal “going for broke” if it appears they’re all but finished, should we get there. IMO, we should all be prepared for both.
