Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that thereβll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents.
But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents.
Why did this Florida woman get a pass? Sheβs MAGA.
Trump doesnβt care about federal agents. Never did.
1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.
Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.π§΅
So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.
When Washington speaks, commanders must answer. But letβs not forget: Those commanders need a foundation of lawful, principled leadership to stand on. www.thebulwark.com/p/questions-...
So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.
The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.
And they get another vacation
Listen. I left evangelicalism but these motherfuckers are trying hard as hell to at least simulate all the antichrist warnings us Baptists had to sit through.
From the Editorial Board:
A beautiful early fall weekend in downtown Chicago. Sun-splashed lakefront. Families enjoying the museums and city sights. Packs of men in military fatigues carrying high-powered long guns.

Trump told military leaders today that US cities would become βtraining grounds.β

Fox is showing viewers footage of vandalism from 2020. The White House is touting misleading statistics on violence. Trumpβs allies are telling his base that the left is a dire threat, and even he is buying it. www.pbump.net/o/how-trumpw...
