Why would you read it that way? It looks like she's trying to hand over more ammunition and cover for him to go through with the purges already planned. 

I mean, in any organization about loyalty over competency the greatest competency is being able to finger scapegoats, and the best way to be promoted is to successfully torpedo the career (in many cases the life) of the people above you. But this seems more like documenting and making public the rationale for various career beheadings within the FBI. You know as an institution there are going to be a lot of people trying to conduct some kind of guerilla warfare to protect their organization. This seems like an attempt to root some of that out as ruthlessly as possible. 

She specifies the NY office of the FBI, which is notoriously a bunch of Republicans who've been ratfucking Dems for years. It wouldn't really make sense to target them in the purge. This feels like Bondi and some others in the administration had actually convinced themselves that a lot of Epstein files were way more damning for Democrats than Republicans, while the New York office knew the truth so hid/destroyed them, and now they're all scrambling for some explanation for why they don't have anything on any Dems.

I’m 100% aware Texas is a high tax state especially if you have an expensive home.

but yall all assume we are selling our house and moving 100%. We will do what we have to do to comply with residency requirements but my ex is here and my kids are 3 years out from graduating….. so we will have two houses and income tax in an income tax state and property tax in a high property tax state for the next 3-4 years. So we will be penalized until we can sell and move completely. 

Totally makes sense to stick around in Texas for its superior schools.

But then you never see the sun and everything is always damp. 

Yeah, otherwise it would be completely fucking ridiculous to move to another state. They have schools that kids graduate from in California and Colorado too.

No one is saying it's fair, but refusing to sell your house and leaving the state is a completely "your problem", the reasons for leaving the state aside. 

 

Walk a mile in my shoes - including managing an ex that’s doesn’t want to move and a court order that dictates my kids stay in their current district - then tell me I should simply sell and move completely. Thanks.

Ok. But actually my kids are getting a pretty damn good education right now - politics haven’t quite reached advanced classes in our district. I’ve got a drum major and a budding all state musician in the other, they are hitting their stride and doing well. So even if I could get everyone to agree to up and move it would be at some significant risk to their near term success. Just a really shitty fucking situation all around. We will make it just fine but it doesn’t mean I’m going to have caviar and champagne along the way - well I might - but there will be some solid shit eating sandwiches days and nights to go with it to be sure.

IMO, these are who are going to have to start publically speaking up.  He has a huge following.  I want as many as possibly speaking up.

Jesus fish on their business card or truck.

- Bible verse on website or FB page

- Any ad copy stating they are a "Christian-owned business"

- The Jesus fish symbol ANYWHERE on their business materials, vehicles, etc.

 

ANY of those three, and RUN AWAY, don't walk away, from doing business with them.  Not just because they are MAGA (they almost certainly are), but because they will fuck you over in every possible way.  Overcharge, not perform, lie about what they did, etc. etc.

I have a friend who is a transactional attorney, and when she's doing due diligence and sees ANY of those features in a subcontract or somesuch, she flags that transaction/relationship for the client as a risk.  And she doesn't sugarcoat it - "I've been around long enough that I have to tell you, these things are red flags indicating someone who's going to fuck you over."

As a young man I worked for a GC.  I was transitioning to supervision; project superintendent.  We were trying out a new sub...I can't remember which trade, but the owner warned me "this guy just told me that he's a Christian about a half-dozen times, so keep a close watch on this asshole and don't approve any invoices for the owner to pay without checking with me first".

And the owner went to a Catholic Church every Sunday without fail.

I can’t stand Portnoy, but I totally agree. He reaches a big demographic that needs to wake up to reality. Even if just questioning a few things like he did sows a little bit of doubt in the minds of the disciples, it’s a good thing. I’ll welcome anyone that helps wake this country up to what is happening as an ally.

I mean, it really is amazing, isn't it?  Anyone with any real-world experience knows that "outwardly showy 'Christians'" are the fucking WORST.  Hell, I remember it from my days waiting tables as a college student.  If you saw one of your tables doing this before the meal, in full view of the world (and often putting on a show of it):

Our overall tax burden went up significantly when we moved from AZ to Texas. In AZ we paid an income tax, sales tax and property tax on our house and vehicles. Texas is a low tax state for businesses, not citizens.

None of the folks I'm talking about ever went to anything so refined as a seminary.  They're of the tradition of the Bible being whatever they say it is, and Christianity being so "personal" that God talks to them directly and therefore their word is The Word.

In other words, they're just some dumbass hicks who have no greater training or studying into theology than your average idiot, despite the fact that there have been big brained folks lifting heavy theological rocks for oh, about 2000 years now.

There are few places on earth where the crushing gravity of near-infinite ignorance and stupidity can be found than in any place that calls itself a "Bible Church."  It's like insisting that being a self-trained fighter pilot is the way to go.  Shit, my wife teaches a class with a friend of hers, and watching and listening to them wrestle with the history and theology of literally 6-8 verses in one chapter, reviewing multiple translations (because if you don't read the original text, you're already off-course) and writings on the various contexts of the passage, blows me away.  And it grants so much meaning and impact to the theology.

As opposed to Cletus, who done read the Bible cover to cover 4 times, in the original English just like Jesus talked, so he's got it all figured out.

That's the hell of it.  As much as I HATE American "Christians," one of the main reasons I do is because there are plenty of examples of people who do it RIGHT.  And the contrast...is fucking brutally stark.  Hold up people who actually walk the walk next to American "Christians," and you see in stark relief what giant pieces of shit those self-declared "Christians" really are.
