But you did check to make sure it was signed first. That's a critical point. "He's going to sign it" isn't good enough.

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...

Not sure what you want Bongino to do differently. He doesn't have a ton of power to flex,

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...

Nobody wins a nuclear war. It's like the way my martial arts instructor used to describe a knife fight "winners drip and losers gush". I'm also not sure which math you disagree with, there's a pretty wide consensus on what the Russian nuclear capabilities are. My figures are based on a worst...

You're not wrong about the reasons for the appeasement. But thankfully we are not in that situation. The US military is a match for the next 10 strongest militaries on the planet put together So we shouldn't act like we need to kowtow.

And the washing machine better use 20 gallons of water, just for the rinse cycle.

And the violent crime problem doesn't exist nationwide. It exists in only a few select neighborhoods that have been under the leadership for decades by the leftist of left wing lunatics. Something like 90% of the violent crime happens in 1% of the zip codes.

If you don't actually do the math, probability can be very counter intuitive. If you have a 5% chance of one missile getting through, and you want to be 95% sure you can nuke that city, you need to launch 60 missiles at it. 3 cities and that's 180 of your 300 missiles right there. And that's...

If you think that means only 3 nukes get through, then you don't understand statistics or nuclear war. And "winnable" is a very vague proposition. I think the US as a nation would survive, and Russia would not. Is that "winning" ?

They got a lot of the right people. They just didn't get enough. Probably 90% of the federal government outside the DoD needs to go.

Here's a *very* simple algorithm that could be used for redistricting a state and would make gerrymandering impossible. Divide the state in half along a north south line such that 50% of the states population is on either side. Then divide each half by an east west line to make equal...

Arrest him for the perjury now, catch the rest up later.

None of that applies to an ICBM attack. Any attack with ICBMs is effectively instant. The defense will assume they're *all* getting launched at once, and will be built with more than enough interceptor to deal with them. And unlike iron dome, that has to defend against large numbers of cheap...

We already analyzed that. 5% of Russian *deployable* nukes is less than a couple dozen. And that's assuming they almost all work. And since Russia doesn't get to pick *which* missiles get through, they need to target the important stuff with dozens of warheads to ensure it gets destroyed...

You asked "what choice do they have" and I said "just go home". and then you said "well, they could, but they have no intention of doing that". Their lack of intent doesn't mean it's not an option. It just means you haven't used a big enough stick yet. You are obviously completely unaware...

The problem was never a lack of police. It doesn't matter how many officers you put on duty, or how aggressively they make arrests if the courts are just going to play "catch and release". And if you actually kept the bad guys locked up, even a much smaller number of cops could catch up pretty...

We've been living in clown world for a few decades now.

Pretty sure the J Edgar FBI was part of the problem, not the solution.

At this point there's a pile of smoking guns that would make a WWI trench blush. Lack of evidence isn't what's holding any of this up, so finding new evidence won't change anything.

My recommendation for home defense ammo. If they do sue you it might be worth it just to see the lawyer try to argue this...

If nobody has been the test case yet in 50 years, you're probably safe.

But nobody manages to cite a case where it actually made a difference.

Don't discount the possibility that the staffers really running things have been keeping both of them drugged up so they can't realize what's really going on.

In 100 years, when historians want to cite an example of corruption, they're going to reference the Clinton foundation, not Tammany Hall anymore. It's that bad.

If anyone in the crowd breaks the law or causes a tort, that should make the company liable. They would go out of business real quick if they were getting sued for the full cost of the broken windows and police response, plus punitive damages.

Russia has always had the choice to just go home. They can do that any time they want. The fact that they're too stupid to do it doesn't change that. NATO in Ukraine is not a threat to Russia. You know what *is* a threat to Russia ? The Golden Dome system that Trump is calling for. It's...

Directly ? Probably not. Unless Russia makes the mistake of striking NATO first. But if things start going badly for Ukraine, you'd be surprised how much NATO can ramp things up. There's lots of precedent. Ever hear of the American Volunteer Group ? Better known as the "flying tigers"...

You're not wrong. But, that doesn't bode well for Russia. NATO can end this war anytime they want, and they can pick who wins at will. You think they're going to pick Russia ? Most of them would spoon feed Ukraine just enough to survive for the next decade if they can get away with it. What...

You seriously understand estimate the capabilities of NATO and overestimate the capabilities of Russia. And while Europe DGAF about Ukraine, they can't allow Russia to keep gobbling up their neighbors either. There is no WWIII coming. Russia vs NATO is not WWIII. It's a regional war in...

I hope you're right, but I wouldn't count on it. There's still a shit ton of deep state left in the DOJ, and their mantra is "obstruct, delay, and derail".

Well, she would be an expert on purposely misreading documents....

For someone.

You're not wrong about the meeting being DOA. But I'm not sure how forcing NATO to get involved is in Russia's national security interest. NATO has made it clear they're not going to let him continue to plunder Ukraine's sovereign territory. The harder he pushes the more foreign equipment...

To be fair, it's backed by the most powerful military that's ever existed. Ask Saddam Hussein what happens when you try to bypass the petrodollar.

They will follow the standard "slow roll" plan and drag this out for 4 years. Justice delayed is justice denied. They will drag innocent people through the process for half a decade as punishment, or they will let the guilty run free for half a decade until they can just plead it down to...

Don't they need a quorum to convene ? How does that work, They can stop legislation in Texas by not showing up, but then not show up in DC and still pretend they're working ?

I'm sensing a theme on the left....

LoL, imagine what NY would look like when Livingston county has one rep, and so does Brooklyn.

Putin has lots of nukes and he's trying to get Stalin's band back together. So, if giving Ukraine nukes is what it takes to stop that, so be it.
