What, that we don’t see much racial diversity in the proposed kids on bikes and outdoor cafe illustrations, or that the overprivileged tech geek in charge sued farmers for their land? I wonder how many migrant workers were displaced by that…?
If they ever do get it up and running, how long do you give it before those designer buildings are defaced with graffiti, a homeless encampment springs up along with the attendant poop and needles on the sidewalks, Antifa “occupies” a section to “liberate” it from capitalist swine “One Percenters,” and they experience their first gang shootout, despite a (presumed) residency contract to live “gun free”…?
These Philosopher Kings with their ability to control the less powerful who are willing to be, if not bought, rented, imagine themselves as gods.

It’s nothing he didn’t tell us three years ago.
I’d hold off on the exclamation points and gushing over campaign rhetoric until he fleshes out what he wants to do with ATF’s functions, and how he intends to get from here to there with Congress.
Offloading it onto another agency could just make things worse.

It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
I’m in a discussion on X with someone who claims there’s no difference, a subject I plan to address in greater detail later. My question to him:
