Looks? It is a bowl of shit.
“I love my Hispanics!”
There's human meat in that taco bowl?!?!
Can you guess what we smell like?
We feel like it too.
Mob rule. As in, Organized Crime, not an angry mob of people.
Even worse:
Fiore, who does not have a law degree, was appointed as a judge in deep-red Nye County in 2022 shortly after she lost her campaign for state treasurer.
We’Re a MeRiT BaSeD cOuNtRy.
A judge who does not have a law degree is deeply dangerous to the judicial system.
Imagine knowing more about law than the judge who is trying your case.
6 times a charm!
But seriously, isn't there some requirement that the judge have passed the bar exam or something?
Oh America, the land of "isn't there some requirement?"
I wonder where she got the fund to pay for a trump pardon.
Probably just dipped into a children's cancer charity or something, like these people do.
with funds to honor a slain [police] officer.
Wonder how the boys in blue feel about that.
Back the badge
Edit: /s, just to be perfectly clear
I'm a Boy In Blue and I'm SO PROUD of Trump for Pardoning this woman who did NOTHING Wrong! STEALING is NOT the Same as DEFUNDING you STUPID LIBTARD COMMIE!
Too busy licking her boots to care.
You mean to say she paid money to look like that?
She's fully delusional, all the way on Trumps level.
She wanted to be trasurer, a judge, a laywer, talked about "integrity and honesty", etc. she also physically fights people, owed a bunch in tax liens, committed federal wire fraud of charity money, etc.
Yes, but the money was stolen from a charitable cause so everything is acceptable...
Hey, from the right perspective, defrauding a monument to the police is pretty based.
Critical support ✊
Where’s the “thin blue line” cunts?
She's not dark enough to viciously beat so what could they do?
Grift the police.
I mean honestly, police do so much shady and potentially illegal shit, that you could pick any small to midsized rural or suburban police department, and just show up with 25 guys (30-50 for larger PD's) have 5 guys in matching suits with ear pieces and official looking badges. The rest can be geared up in full swat kit, put official looking acronyms on the uniforms, then just walk into the PD, announce that you are from the newly created internal affairs review board, specifically created by Trump to find unloyal officers. Say you've been monitoring their communications and have determined the entire department needs to be vetted.
if they resist, do what needs to be done. If they comply, take control of the entire PD. They probably do all their IT support through foreign third parties. odds are the only verification you'll need to give them will be something that's written in a piece of paper That's sitting on the desk that belongs to their one or two IT people.
Like holy shit, what I'm describing is basically DOGE, only used to fight facism instead of enable it
There's SO MUCH uncertainty, and such a lack of transparent planning and coordination with the current admin, that if you show up in numbers, with a professional looking force that could be federal, like ICE; especially with a smaller 'lead' team of 5-6 suits to do the talking, you could quickly round them up, strip them of their badges, weapons, uniform, cellular phones, and send them on their way. By the time they know what hit them and they're able to make calls to people that may or may not do something it's too late, you've already taken the facilities, equipment, patrol cars etc. You swipe the badge, and the infrastructure from them using confusion and a display of force, and that's it.
If they say something, deny, delay, defend. Deny their account of events delay any release of actual information state that because of national security concerns you are not allowed to make statements, then defend everything you do dating unspecified top secret sources. The Trump administration is such a f****** s*** show they probably wouldn't even know if you were one of their operatives or not, and will just ignore the situation, especially if it's some small town with 5 officer department and a few support staff
So while that is a fun fantasy, and let's say it's even plausible. What do you do afterward? Do you execute the police officers in the street? Do you ship them to a re-education camp set up by the fifth column in the foot hills of the rockies? How long do you keep up the charade? Parallel Systems of support are needed to fight a fascist government, not just a bunch of larpers on an afternoon.
Well that's the question isn't it. If anything you raid them for any valuable equipment and communication equipment, then just raize what's left before they figure out what's going on. The real advantage would be getting access to government email systems and municipal court systems. Accounts will get locked out eventually, but try an embed your self the best you can, cause confusion, delete records, dump info on names/addresses onto a thumb drive for future ops.
Worst case scenario, the cops have to be liquidated, take everything off use, then burn the bodies and evidence then disperse and regroup later. You know there will be a huge force that shows up eventually to investigate. You can try and ambush them, or just choose to move operations to a different area and try to stay one step ahead of them, or just disappear and lay low. Make them spin their wheels and waste resources.
You also have to think of the psychological effect this would have if word were to get out. You could easily frame it as 'This kind of shit never happened before Trump fucked everything up' and let animosity among law enforcement build up.
Criminals helping criminals.
Thick as thieves.
Thick as pig shit.
Boob recognize boob.
At this point .... are they just trying to become even more uglier and stupid than they already are?
The Nip/Tuck Blue Line
Fash consumes fash.
Game recognizes game...
