This is full on Nazi shit

The report shows political appointees at DHS pressured career analysts to further the Trump administration’s political agenda. The report, made available Friday by U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, opb.org/article/2021/1…
found that in addition to attempting to politicize intelligence, senior DHS leaders pressured subordinates to illegally search phones. Open source intelligence collectors also created dossiers on protesters and journalists, despite those people having no clear connections to
domestic terrorism or homeland security concerns.

DHS senior leaders’ attempts at the time to connect the racial justice protests to a centrally organized effort by antifa to commit violence against government institutions — a shocking admission of organizational overreach
The review of the DHS intel branch revealed an unprepared and ill-trained workforce was thrown into assisting with intel collection amid the civil unrest in Portland in summer 2020 contrib to the gathering and dissemination of intel on US journalists there
amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/10/01…
"These intelligence reports were unusual in that they reported on the activities of U.S. journalists engaged in ordinary journalism,"

"Independent investigators confirmed that DHS intelligence officials lacked basic knowledge of their authority, what constituted real threats,
and when it was appropriate to investigate Americans who were suspected of no crime at all. It documents how untrained analysts investigated journalists," Wyden said in a statement.

So it seems Chad Wolf, acting Sec was unaware, asked for the review so was Trump running DHS too?

The first call was prompted by Milley’s review of intel sug the Chinese believed the US was preparing to attack. That belief was based on tensions over military exercises in the South China Sea, and deepened by Trump’s belligerent rhetoric toward China.
washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel.

I think he might be in trouble if true

Milley, chosen by Trump in 2018, believed the president had suffered a mental
decline after the election, the authors write, a view he communicated to House Speaker Pelosi in a phone call on Jan. 8. He agreed with her evaluation that Trump was unstable, according to a call transcript.

Believing that China could lash out if it felt at risk from an

increasing taxes on “tobacco and nicotine” by roughly $100 billion, while also raising $16 billion from changing rules to “treat cryptocurrency the same as other financial instruments.” washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021…
The new proposal includes many measures Dems are widely expected to embrace, such as increasing the top tax rate on Americans earning over $435K from 37% to 39.6%. It also calls for a new corporate tax rate 26.5% for large profitable businesses, up from the current rate of 21%.
Some smaller firms would see their taxes stay the same or even cut under the plan

The draft tax proposal also includes some surprises, including a smaller than expected increase in the capital gains rate paid by investors from 20% to 25%

Democrats also floated a tiered system

npr.org/2021/09/12/103…
While the Commission was largely unable to tie the Saudi men to the hijackers, the FBI document describes multiple connections and phone calls.
BTW @SenFeinstein headed the commission

Years ago, the Commission wrote that when it came to the Saudi diplomat Fahad al-Thumairy, "We have not found evidence that Thumairy provided assistance to the two hijackers."

A decade later, it appears FBI agents came to a different
