*blink* deadly force? Accounting and Auditing just got a lot more exciting! I picture a new Law and Order spinnoff, where all accountants are buff and/or buxom, raiding people's home in order to access their online bank accounts via hacking people's home computers while under fire.

Scalise goes on talking about rogue FBI agents, then something like this happens and they are all I dunno.

I long for the day when the GOP thinks the use of force by IRS CID agents trying to serve a search warrant on, or apprehend, a tax evader is just as viable as the use of force by state or local cops trying to serve a child support warrant or, oh, just making a welfare check.

Oh, who am I kidding, they'll never see the equivalency, and I can't qwhite put my finger on why.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Don't they already hate the police for things like child support and welfare checks? Deadly force is for PoC making you nervous!

But it's okay to them when a PoC is killed by the police for the simple crime of not being fully awake and cognizant of the orders being barked at them while the police are bashing in their door to serve a non-arrest warrant.

I can't quite follow why Hannity is dragging out Roger Stone and his 2019 arrest, but there we are. I do remember that day and not being able to sleep and watching CNN when the arrest went down. Good times :biggrin:

I do not recall any mention of the FBI guys rifling through his wife's clothes, but now we're hearing about it :shrug:

It seems Ron Johnson will be up shortly, but Sarah HS is on now :sick:

One hundred thousand. And HUNTER was going. Did you catch that a time or twenty? A broken record.

This morning, I am very happy to see that the F&F upscale "Gentleman's Club" still has lady legs and the white couch to show them off
-- but just one lady now. I guess inflation took it's toll across all segments of the economy.

Cross posting.
Brian Kilmeade, filling in for Tucker Carlson tonight, shared a clearly fake, photoshopped image of the judge involved in approving the Mar-a-Lago warrant

I wish I could say this was a "new" low for
@FoxNews
. Truly incredible. They photo-shopped a government exhibit (photo of Maxwell & Epstein on a plane) with an obviously fake photo of Reinhart. Here's the REAL photo.

When John Bolton says on Newsmax that we are safer under Biden then we would have been under Trump, the host loses his mind and they have an epic battle. I know people hate Bolton, but this is fantastic - he debunks every fake narrative they created about his foreign policy.

Wow, even a broken clock. But Bolton is right on for this one.

If Jesse Watters didn’t get fired for telling an audience full of QAnon nuts to follow and confront Fauci, nothing will happen to Kilmeade for posting a fake photo of a fed judge with Ghislaine Maxwell undressing. The only thing that gets you fired at Fox is calling AZ for Biden.

Last night while subbing for Tucker Carlson, we showed you an image of Judge Bruce Reinhart w/ Ghislaine Maxwell that was sourced on screen to a meme pulled from Twitter & wasn’t real. This depiction never took place & we wanted to make clear that we were showing a meme in jest.

Yeah, and I can't wait to find out what kind of jests will be on Fox News tonight and in the next few days. Do some more really funny jests. Those are great, and there isn't much serious stuff going on right now.

OK, so what was the context? What did they say when they showed that "meme in jest"? Did they say anything to indicate that it was "only" a jest?

I bet not. Assholes.
