Nope, I know what you meant. It just wasn't anywhere near as smart as you thought it was.

In fact, it was downright moronic and simpleminded. Just like everything else you've been saying in defense of this ridiculous miscarriage of justice security theater.

Yeah, that's the official story. Alas, reality was much more gross in several ways..

President Trump has given Patel a brief to ~~prevent~~ prepare the FBI ~~from~~ for being weaponized to persecute political opponents.

There, changed it to the obvious truth.

I think they're supposed to be veins indicating sky high blood pressure or some other cardiovascular malady related to chronic stress..

While trying to find out whether or not it's called a boobook because that's a phonetic spelling of the sound it makes (because I love it when animals are named thus 😁), I came across this wonderful video from an Australian conservationist/zoology communicator ❤️

The cuffs are just for show

Yeah, to show their rich masters how much more seriously they take it when it's one of them on the receiving end for once.

Yeah, they're NOT doing anywhere near this level of security for any first time offender who's only killed one person who ISN'T a CEO of a parasitic corporation.

Don't pretend that this amount of melodramatic posturing is the norm even in a "justice" system as corrupt as the US one.

Summary

IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.

McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.

The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.
