The sound bite of Stephen Miller screeching about how bad ass he is… Made for amusing bulwark pod listening

I’m being facile of course.

Ideology is a luxury.

Coworkers and I were going to ask the various AI tools tonight if manatee could be made to be a slave work force for humans and for instance can manatees be made to chop cotton. Also, is that a good idea to use an aquatic beast incapable of rapid movement to be a land-based work force.

OH? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/jan/26/washington-post-february-job-cuts-layoffs Could it have to do with destroying the brand?

I watched a neighbor get hauled off to jail with a Homeland Security Investigations van sending a bunch of guys into his house. That was like a decade ago. Back then my first instinct was...was he trafficking in stolen art? Of course it turned out to be child pornography. A sophisticated authoritarian regime would figure out how to plant that on people's devices. Which is all to say...if they want YOU they can get you. These clowns (the Noem/Lewandowski/Bovino crowd) lack that subtlety. The DOGE crowd do not lack that subtlety.

The only solace you have is to flood the zone. They couldn't kill everyone on the street with Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Tucking tail and being the fastest guy when the zombies are chasing your group only works so well. I am enjoying the FB experience now that me and my fellow Nevertrumpers are being fed a non-stop feed of outrage. I also enjoy Bsky driving out the bots and trolls. My philosophy right now is this.

The Freep had a weird link to an article/picture role on Ted Nugent yesterday. I wonder if that was intended to intimidate him into giving Vinnie his money.

Good win tonight

Its very natural to be sensitive to being addressed by an outsider as something you don't have any control over.

While we were tearing our nation apart. The PRC (mainland China) is having some sort of tumult with the CCP and the military. A bunch of stuff in the media among the ex-patriot community. Its a head scratcher for me as a non-expert in China.

NRA is gonna fight him on this one.

Reasonable. My contempt for the agency is tempered by my experiences with US Secret Service people i worked with in the past. They hated their agency and the job sucked. But, being a federal agent is intoxicating. The suspect types among them ended up working security at casinos. Which should tell you all you need to know. Others were high quality folks in my reckoning. Perhaps there are some good folks in ICE and CBP. Maybe.

I suspect Lindsay Halligan is looking for a new role.
