More than that, the FBI paid tons of informants who infiltrated the Klan.
For one famous example, Gary Thomas Rowe was a paid FBI informant who was present at the murder of Viola Liuzzo.
But there were so many more. By one estimate, in 1965 a full 15% of the Mississippi KKK were paid informants.
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
This is the kind of betrayal a nation carries out when its leaders don't believe in the concept of allies and that views promises as something for suckers.
It also makes our armed forces less safe. No nation will ever trust us again. Why should they? We stab our friends in the back.
This is an indelible stain on the US’s national honor. There is zero reason for people in other countries to take risks to help us, because we can’t be trusted to hold up our end.
Little to disagree with on most of this of course, but to note the one point of disagreement, I'll re-up on why the whole 25th Amendment commission stuff is bad on the policy merits, non-viable as a strategy, and rhetorically a mistake.
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
Hilarious self-own
Buffoons are offended by the comparison 😎
Wait till he finds out what George Washington did re: inoculating his troops against smallpox. He'll definitely get rid of the painting of that woke socialist we see in the background!
And this same DoJ leadership would say it's totes OK for outfits like Project Veritas to use paid informants/operatives
Just perfect in every way. And one of the greatest voices in TV/movies today.

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?
The Justice Department.
Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.

Yes, it's a bad thing if Trump and Hegseth are degrading our armed forces
“What is this class? Why do we keep going out on fishing boats? What was with the thing where we had to sort out goats from sheep? Why did we have to shove a camel through the eye of a needle? What is this class?”
The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory
The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"
The other bit is you can assume the other vaccination requirements will be going by the wayside, half of SOCPAC getting JEV to own the libs
Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans
Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.
The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.
An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.
As if what she described is a problem. Hell, it's a blessing
