The uniparty was around long before Ukraine.
Defeating it is not anywhere near that simple.
Just like D-day wasn't the defeat of Germany, ending the Ukraine laundromat won't defeat the uniparty.
If there are no consequences, then they have no reason to ever change.
The only way to fix it os for some conservative judges to start doing the same thing. Then the left will suddenly discover how dangerous it is and we might get some rules to prevent it.
So, some minor federal judge needs...
Prison doesn't need to be harsh. That's not the point.
It's a warehouse for people who won't conform to society and we don't have the balls to just kill.
The old school theory of "penal colonies" was a great idea. No re-occuring taxpayer expense, just ship them all to some island halfway...
I've given up the conceit that I would be the good guy.
I pretty much just try not to get involved at all, but if i'm forced into it, I will have no illusions about being "the good guy".
I think almost everyone who thinks of themselves as the "good guy" is just deluding themselves.
In the...
Ignoring the small stuff to concentrate on the big stuff only works if you actually put away the criminals.
If you just let them right back out, literally nothing will work. You could suspend the constitution and go full blown police state and it still would change anything.
And I'm afraid...
For the most part the police *do* their job.
They make tons of arrests.
If the criminals weren't back on the street in hours the problem would go away.
This is entirely on the prosecutors, judges, and legislators.
So just drop all the petty stuff right off the bat. Tell the cops not to even waste their time on it.
Take the serious stuff and prosecute it as hard as you can. Pleading things down is wasting your time long term.
Which makes more sense, spend a month putting a guy away for 20 years, or...
National guard is not necessary.
There are already way more police than we need. You just have to actually lock the bad guys up once you catch them.
It doesn't matter how many people you have playing tag in the street when nothing changes when you catch them.
*How* do you know you're the good guy ?
Because most of the bad guys think they're the good guy too.
I'm not saying you're not, just saying it's not as easy to tell from the inside.
It's important to know how you tell the difference, because "I just know" is a great way to deceive yourself...
I should have been more specific.
Even when caught, with incontrovertible proof, they aren't often charged.
There is an unethical incestuous relationship between cops and prosecutors.
Look at communist architecture and you'll see exactly what's happening with this stuff.
Their goal isn't to make your brand stand out. It's to make all brands into interchangeable cogs.
Just look at what has happened to many resturant chains since the 90s.
They go from warm fun environments...
That's certainly part of the problem, but I don't even think that's a major part.
In the jurisdictions with the biggest problems it's the prosecutors abusing their discretion.
"He put 3 people in the hospital, but he'll get deported if we charge him with aggravated assault, so we're just...
There are a lot of things that aren't often charged, but still could be.
Cops will lie illegally on reports and testimony and getting charged for that is extremely rare.
Pretty sure a jury would see the same thing we did when they play that video.
Nobody is going to buy his "just knocking" line unless they were determined to ignore reality to protect him ahead of time.
If breaking down the door wasn't done legally, then nothing that comes after was legally justified either.
OfC, as I stated earlier, if someone's trying to stab you with a knife, you need to end the threat, legally or not.
But if the door was illegally broken, then the shooting was murder.
If the guy had a 12ga instead of a knife, there might very well be 2 dead cops and the question might very well be whether *his* shoot was justified.
It's not clear that a court wouldn't rule that he was.
So, in any encounter involving deadly force, the single most important consideration is...
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
I think you're right to a certain extent.
I think Bongino didn't realize how impotent a position he was going to be in, or he wouldn't have accepted it.
He made more money as a podcaster, but I think he accepted the position because he...
Deputy director can't really declassify anything on his own. He's stuck in the middle where he isn't on top to be able to make policy himself, and isn't close enough to the bottom to see what's really going on day to day.
He doesn't have access to anything the deep state doesn't want him to...
But filed for is not sufficient.
The warrant has to be signed *before* it's valid.
And you can't "catch that up" afterwards.
So, if you're implying that people are going to back date the warrant's time of approval (as you seem to be), then that's a major problem. The judge that cooperates...
I'm not sure I'd say the shooting was justified.
You can't claim self defense if you're the one who initiates the conflict.
Illegally breaking the front door certainly qualifies there.
If there really was no warrant, then this is murder, and a badge doesn't change that.
The only difference between police and a street gang is the rule of law.
If the police abandon that, then they *are* the bad guys that should get what they have coming to them.
If they didn't have a legitimate warrant *at the time*, they they *are* the bad guys here. You can't correct that...
And I think that people who betray the public trust that has been given to them are the worst sorts of criminals.
The drug dealer or murderer never asked me to trust him before he committed his crimes.
Kicking someone's front door down and attacking them should generally be met with immediate...
I think he was implying that a warrant would show up, with appropriate dates and times on it whether there was one actually signed when they broke down the door or not.
That's what I was referring to. People fraudulently backdating documents to justify the activity are risking prison time to...
That sounds like a lot of people are taking a very big risk to make that happen then.
If the homeowner has a good lawyer and someone missed a small detail, a lot of people could be looking at a prison sentence.
I'm not convinced that anyone in DC gives a shit about where the Ukraine/Russia border is drawn, or what the Russian economy or military looks like.
At most, maybe they want the sanctions so they can drive up the price of oil or something, but that's probably not a major concern.
There are a...
Says they filed for a warrant. Doesn't say they had one.
And trying to stretch "exigent circumstances" out from an incident 2 days earlier is going to be quite a stretch.
If they didn't have a warrant, or exigent circumstances, people have mounted a successful defense for shooting cops who...
The objective wasn't to bleed Russia.
I'm not sure Washington ever cared one way or another how this ended.
The objective was to bleed the American taxpayer. And in that respect they were wildly successful.
Would be interesting to see how many dollars got funneled back to left wing...
There have been many opportunities for NATO to end this quickly.
The goal of the prior administration was never to end the conflict, but to prolong the gravy train. It was one of the greatest money laundering machines of the last 100 years.
The whole thing could have been avoided if Biden had...
