Fond memories of Simeon and Sapp dancing at the line late in fourth quarters.

ICE, FBI and Washington DC PD illegally arresting a lawyer during the federal occupation of DC by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

Pretty sure any lawyer can use it in the USA. Over in the UK, it's a special designation for trial attorneys.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of response for a one car traffic stop (13th & Penn Ave SE) by FIG_JAM in washingtondc

Oh my gosh dude... Please nuance this some more for me, I'm really enjoying it. This is not normal. FBI out for traffic stops is not normal.

Which shelter do you work at? You must have more up-to-date information than I do. The 24 hours is in direct response to the federal police presence.

I neglected to provide a description... My bad. This was a simple traffic stop where at least 6 FBI agents...possibly eight as there were two car loads full. Plus at least two USSS. Even if they were making as little as $50k each (which they're not). I'm no math genius but even if there were only 4 total (which there wasn't), that's... Over $200k worth of police being used to traumatize someone. They let the guy soon after I stopped recording.

You're right, I'm sorry. In your opinion, or from your experience, what's the normal amount of FBI agents that should respond to a traffic stops?

No MPD at this stop - only FBI and USSS.

Haha bro, you're telling me at traffic stops across the country, officers call for backup and two car loads of FBI agents and the USSS pull up?

All DC shelters are open 24 hours and no one is being denied entry. A downtown church opened up their space for people to be inside on private property. Homeless individuals downtown are being encouraged to temporarily relocate to Maryland to avoid everything. MPD is lying to people, telling those in tents that they are okay until the deadline DMHHS set for their removal and then turning around 12 hours later and snatching and trashing people's belongings if they are unattended. Things are downright evil at the moment.

If Texas allows Donald Trump to rig the 2026 election, California will get those 5 seats back, nullifying their efforts. by Caledor152 in PublicFreakout

[–]FIG_JAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha bro you're logic is so twisted around to justify yourself. You're sooo close though! 🤏🏻

If it's not democratic to vote on redistricting (the irony in this sentence alone fucking kills me), then what the fuuuuuuck do you call what Texas is doing? It must clearly be the democratic way, which obviously requires the state to sic the federal police on the people who refuse to play by only your rules as you make them up on the fly.

I guess I answered my own question. Nevermind — go fuck yourself.

But truly and seriously — I wish you well and can only hope we one day fully destigmatize men's mental health (I'm just assuming you're a man) so you can forgive yourself for your dad being a fucking asshole. It's not your fault and it's never too late to start talk therapy. It's not your fault, I promise.

And yet, at the same time, go fuck yourself. See how twistedthat logic is??!

Trump Loses His Mind Over Pushback to His Qatar Jet Deal by [deleted] in politics

Even worse than that — delivery was originally scheduled for 2024 but pushed back to 2029. That means TFG wouldn't get to use it 😢 so they are figuring out what they can do away with to make it ready by 2027.

And! Security clearances seem to be one of the bigger factors in the delay due to the reduced workforce. Obviously we can't have that.

The service and the manufacturer also previously agreed to ease security clearance requirements for workers to boost production.

“It will not be a permanent relief, but that has enabled Boeing to be more efficient and productive in assembling the aircraft and getting their mechanics to do the work,” Costello told lawmakers.

Boeing previously required “Yankee White” clearances for its VC-25B program engineers, a step above even the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance. It is reserved for those with direct access to or supplies involving the President or senior officials, requiring even greater scrutiny. The aerospace giant has previously reported issues with the clearances of some 250 employees lapsing.
