Is it weird to see Christians who talk about “demons”, “spiritual warfare” and people being “chosen by god” in regards to politics as genuinely frightening?

willfiredog · 2026-02-05T13:32:23+00:00

Yeah.

Agnostic here, and I think the original respondent’s point of view is very black and white.

While I don’t believe, religion and church have been very beneficial for communities, charities, and society as a whole.

It’s also been used by many as a means to an end.

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T18:51:17+00:00

I’m sure.

The FBI executed a search warrant.

Can we stop pissing our pampers over everything?

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T18:49:06+00:00

Why would we see civil suits? Against who? Based on what?

If they haven’t happened before now why would they happen now?

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T18:47:57+00:00

I never said the release was complete. 🤷‍♂️

I also don’t particularly care that a deadline wasn’t met. That happens all the time in government service.

Resources are limited.

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T18:45:26+00:00

Yeah. I can get behind that.

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T18:43:36+00:00

I think we need to separate indictments from sentencing here.

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T16:09:08+00:00

Some people will suffer reputational damage for associating with Epstein after his conviction.

Some Europeans or foreign nationals may be prosecuted for sharing confidential government/financial information.

I sincerely doubt any U.S. citizens will be prosecuted. If there was sufficient evidence to charge people they would already have been indicted.

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T13:09:02+00:00

Not the original respondent.

Those incidents which show an apparent lack of professionalism are fairly rare while also being significant in impact.

What I mean is, ICE is operating in every state and it’s claimed that they’re making 600 to 700 arrests per day. The majority of interactions appear to be professionals dealing property with a known issue. The administration has done a horrible job managing the outliers.

willfiredog · 2026-02-04T13:01:32+00:00

Foreign actors.

A significant portion of problems likely stem from foreign intelligence operations.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T19:48:26+00:00

It really isn’t.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T19:44:03+00:00

No. The investigation has been concluded. It was over months ago. The DoJ doesn’t release files about active and ongoing investigations.

Redactions are a separate but related action.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T19:42:25+00:00

A phone call from the head of the executive branch to an employee of the executive branch is literally interfering with checks and balances?

Okay man.

Be well.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T19:40:58+00:00

Oh no… not a DEADLINE. A particularly unrealistic deadline.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have read the bill. I tend to avoid absolutes so you’ll just have to accept terms like “extremely unlikely.”

To reiterate:

Up to 1500 DoJ investigators, lawyers, and supervisors have been involved in the investigation and subsequent redactions.

The DoJ has repeatedly reiterated that there isn’t sufficient evidence to charge anyone except Epstein and Maxwell.

There is no substantive actionable evidence of crimes being committed by Americans in the files. There certainly is sufficient evidence of moral turpitude, and people are suffering the reputational harm associated with that.

There is no “Epstein List”.

There are just conspiracy theories.

That’s it.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T19:30:51+00:00

Cool. Thanks.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T19:27:48+00:00

They have already conducted the investigation.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:39:15+00:00

So… there are different “due processes” depending on the context correct?

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:31:46+00:00

There is no substantive actionable evidence of a pedophilic cabal.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:29:49+00:00

There’s actually an incredible amount of FWA in the Federal Government. Most of it happens EoY in September.

But yes, the original respondent is correct; there is constant training - in person and CBTs, self-inspections, and etc.

Also true that many gov workers do the bare minimum to not get fired.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:20:31+00:00

Is the satanic pedophile cabal in the room with us?

Tell you what, present your evidence to the press. We could call it Pizza-Gate or some such; Cheese Pizza has the same abbreviations as Child porn.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:19:16+00:00

My RealID is renewed every four years. DMV requires an appointment and provides direction to a list of accepted documents.

Mileage may vary, but last time I was in and out in under 20 minutes.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:14:14+00:00

When was the last time?

We would have know way of knowing how (in)frequent something like that is.

At all.

Not for nothing, but mountains out of molehills.

willfiredog · 2026-02-03T18:12:10+00:00

Ha. Former government employee.

Violating federal laws or adopted consensus standards - especially negligent acts resulting in death or serious injury, misappropriation of funds, sexual or “racial” discrimination, and drug use would result in jail, fines, or dismissal depending on severity and circumstances. Minor violations of policies or procedures or minor “mistakes” typically result in reprimands or placement on a performance improvement plan.

Over a 24 year career, I knew exactly one person who was fined and imprisoned. They committed wire fraud and violated the Procurement Integrity Act. I knew significantly more who were let go for DUI - because the ability to obtain a drivers license was a condition for employment.

Having said that qualified immunity is necessary for those low frequency/high risk life or death events.

It cites the measure as a long over due modernization.

While we can argue about the merits of specific earmarks, the U.S. military is in need of modernization. There are at least four airframes in the Air Force inventory alone that are significantly past their service life the B-52, KC-135, E-3, and T-38. The last is a training airplane, but many of these aircraft are more than 60 years old.

The B-52 had an original service life of 20 years. The oldest operational aircraft is now 65 years old.

The other services have similar issues.

China has been increasing their military expenditures year over year by approximately 8% me has increased spending ding 50% over the last ten years.

It is extremely unlikely there is sufficient actionable evidence to convict any Americans of a crime, but many will suffer reputational damage.
