The scrutiny of career agents is highly unusual given that rank-and-file FBI agents do not select the cases they are assigned to work on, do not historically switch positions or receive any sort of discipline because of their involvement in matters seen as politically sensitive cases and especially because no evidence has emerged that any FBI agents or lawyers who investigated or prosecuted the cases engaged in misconduct.
But there are numerous allegations of misconduct, ranging from lying to the public and news agencies about the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop and falsely accusing Trump of colluding with Russia, to planting agents in the Jan 6 crowd to incite a riot, denying defendants access to their attorneys and basically torturing them.
It doesn't matter if these activities were endorsed or encouraged by the administration at the time. They are either illegal and/or constitute misconduct or they don't. Just like obeying an unlawful order is not a defense for the military, engaging in misconduct or illegal action at the behest of the Biden administration is no defense for civilian employees.
I guess would be that the current administration already has a pretty comprehensive list of things that considers misconduct and is asking for these questionnaires from employees to see if anything they did falls on that list. You have no expectation of privacy from your employer regarding official acts that you performed on duty for that employer. If they think this information is going to be used to unlawfully terminate them, there's a fairly robust formal process for federal employees to dispute it.
The Left will never even acknowledge the Right has one inch of ground to stand on much less give up that ground to appear to be more magnanimous and rational.
See gun control for a lesson in this. Every "compromise" simply gives up ground and that becomes the new baseline until the next infringement. There is never anything ever given back in trade.
Compromise is only possible when both parties have a compatible desired end state. If we're both hungry, but you want Chinese and I want Mexican we can come to a compromise where we both eat food that satisfies our hunger. When goals are incompatible, such as one party wanting to ban guns and the other party wanting free access to them, it's more akin to a tug of war. Any gains you give the other side simply weakens your own. Pretty much every cultural dispute between the left and the right falls into the second category.
Why call them Roma? They would be gypses back then?
Exactly, and they're still gypsies today. Roma is a tomato.
If you let the enemy control the language you use, then you've already lost.
As a kid I didn't realize that the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" was part of a licensing scheme where Nintendo forced third parties to pay them to produce their cartridges and limited how many games they could release. I had no idea what the lockout chip was and why some third party cartridges were shaped differently.
Ostensibly it was to prevent the same shovelware that caused video games to crash during the Atari era, but how wonderful for them that it also funneled extra profits and control to Nintendo.
The very concept of a "hate crime" is nonsensical: it's perfectly legal to dislike a race or gender, in fact if the government tries to punish you for expressing these beliefs it's the one that's breaking the law by violating your 1st Amendment rights.
But if you are known to hold these beliefs and then commit a crime it becomes "more illegaler". This has the effect of chilling free speech, because if you make your views known and ever commit a crime against someone from your disfavored group they can add greatly enhanced penalties, and serves as a way to effectively criminalize disfavored speech.
Nintendo is the worst of the console companies for wanting to have complete control over what content you can have. It's like having Apple as a video game company.
Of course XBox is probably on its last console and Sony isn't really any better. They're all pushing woke and censoring content on Western releases. At least with Xbox you can use a VPN to buy the game cheaper in another region and then just turn it off and play as normal.
Oh look it's today's episode of "no matter how much you hate the government, it's not enough".
This isn't the first time that the feds have argued that once they have a warrant they're free to do whatever they want. You may recall a case a couple years ago where they seized everyone's safe deposit box in a certain facility because they thought a couple of them might have been used for illegal activity. The warrant specifically instructed them that they may not do that and they did it anyway, and their attorneys made essentially the same argument that the government is making in this case.
SCOTUS also ruled that most gun control was presumptively unconstitutional in Bruen, yet very little has changed.
Affirmative Action is deeply rooted in the personal agendas of the people running these organizations. Just like with Bruen they will non-comply, maliciously comply, or just do the same shit and call it something else to avoid having to change course.
Anti-white discrimination won't go away unless and until there's a vigorous enforcement mechanism to stop it.
That freak looks like something an AI would produce if you give it the prompt of "crazy transgender commie with a gun".
Discrimination based on race is illegal in the United States under a number federal laws- unless it's against whites, in which case the feds encourage it (bonus points if it happens to be a white male).
I've said this a thousand times on this site now. The US is absolutely horrible about respecting your rights and honoring individual freedom. Yet the UK makes it look like a fucking paradise in comparison.
I honestly wish we could go back in time and just surrender the whole fucking country to the Germans, because it honestly sounds like you had more individual rights in Nazi Germany than England today.
Just about every 5th or 6th article on news sites now is something like "People tell us the 10 things they hate most about X" and the "article" is just a collection of random social media posts like "I hate getting up for work- Joe from Nebraska". At least filler used to be news, maybe not the best news, but written to some standard. now it's just an aggregation of random people's thoughts.
Everyone disembarking would need to have fingerprints and retinal scans in addition to passport checks.
So, I Googled this and found this treat for people visiting the EU:
The new scheme is called the Entry/Exit System (EES). lt is an automated IT system that will register any non-EU nationals travelling visiting European Union member states. Travellers will need to go through the system every time they cross an EU external border, both when entering and leaving the country. Your data will be registered electronically and kept on file.
According to the European Commission website, EES will register each individual’s name, travel document and biometric data – so you’ll have to provide fingerprint scans and it will take a photo of your face. It will then document the date and place of entry and exit.
Apparently the UK had a system called that took fingerprints and scanned your iris in lieu of you presenting your passport from 2004-2013 but scrapped it. I'm not sure what replaced it.
I guess I'm never visiting Europe again, but the US is right behind. We already do this same shit to foreigners visiting and TSA is now asking that you let them take a picture of your face on domestic flights. You can opt out, but for how long? Then there's this: https://fee.org/articles/welcome-aboard-but-first-us-marshals-will-scan-your-retina/
I doubt any of these guys would want to come back in any form,
I doubt any are interested in a career, but depending on if they only have to finish what remained of their prior enlistment or whether they need to start a whole new term, it might be worth going back for many of them.
They're due four years of back pay, who wouldn't serve a year or two to get that? Then you don't reenlist, and go back to your civilian job- which the USERRA laws say has to take you back with the same seniority as if you never left.
There's also those that might have only been a few years away from retirement. If you have 16 years in, it's worth doing four more to get the pension.
So you don't think the tool is the source of the violence? I have it on good authority that no one murdered anyone prior to the invention of knives.
They must have never screened 2001: A Space Odyssey in England.
Good news story, but the linked video is some bearded soy fag's commentary. I accidentally clicked on it before I realized this.
I don't need this basement dwellers opinion on the story, just the raw news.
Mechanical Turk
3rd world countries are the shitholes they are because 3rd world people live there.
This! This is also why throwing money at homelessness doesn't solve it.
I tell people that you can round up all the homeless people in a major city, house them in luxury high-rise apartments where food is delivered to them, laundry is done for them, and they have all the movies, video games, and other entertainment they could want for free, and the place look like something out of Mad Max within a week. It's not an affluence problem, it's a people problem.
America was carved out of the wilderness with handmade tools and has a climate much more harsh than these tropical shit holes. Whatever misfortune they may have isn't any worse than the challenges that Western nations had and overcame. The reason they lag so far behind is because the people there are lesser.
But she was a passenger. How would they assign her demerit points if she didn't happen to have a license?
In total, Lavoie received two fines: one for the alleged seatbelt violation, which carries three demerit points, and another for failing to provide identification. Both totalling near $1000.
Jesus, even Canada's criminal penalties have gay names. I guess Gryffindor won't win the house trophy this year after getting those demerit points.
Those are the two that need to cut off the most.
Regarding Henry: He was established as straight. Pure pandering, I wouldn't mind if there were two other guys fucking in the game (cause the percentage of that was most likely way higher than the amount of blacks in Bohemia).
If tackling closet faggotry was a thing they wanted to do, they could have easily made a quest where you discover two nobles were up to that shit and then give you the choice to expose them, cover for them, or blackmail them. That at least would have been interesting for players.
who possibly launched a failed 14th century expedition to the Americas.
What does that even mean? Did he, or didn't he?
The fact that there might have been an African explorer who set sail across the Atlantic (or not; he only possibly did it) doesn't create justification for sticking Africans anywhere else they don't belong historically.
A black foreign diplomant appears in a major trade city comes and thinks his culture is better?
You mean this guy:
Mansa Musa, also known as Musa I of Mali, was the ninth Mansa (emperor) of the Mali Empire, ruling from around 1312 to 1337. Musa was born around 1280 and died around 1337.
he is best remembered for his extravagant pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, which included a caravan of around 60,000 people and an immense amount of gold, significantly affecting the economy of Egypt due to his generous spending and gift-giving.
So what is he doing in 1403 Bohemia, 66 years after he died?
Or is he just a fictional character with the same name? If there's no historical basis for the character, then he doesn't have a place in a game aiming for historical accuracy.
The same physical properties that made blacks ideal field hands lend themselves to athletic pursuits. These properties do not include enhanced cognition or leadership, which are the qualities needed in good coaches.
