Lin said that the U.S. Institute for Peace called the D.C. police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the D.C. police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Before the D.C. police arrived, the Musk team had tried for hours to enter the building. They attempted to enter on Friday, but that effort was unsuccessful.


Dear /c/Politics moderators: I am only posting this in the body because the direct link doesn’t actually work as a direct link and just takes you to the top of the updates thread and you have to dig to find this two paragraph snippet. Please understand why I did this. I know the rule is not to do this but I hope you can make an exception in this case.


Anyone else remember the evidence that a lot of the DC police were just letting January 6th rioters onto the capitol grounds and that it was roundly dismissed by our useless fucking media as a conspiracy theory?

Law enforcement was never on our side.

      Oh, no, it’s been a slow boil since probably at least the end of the Civil War. Hell, even the convention that drafted the Constitution did so with no authority. The document hailed as sacrosanct, the bedrock of America…wasn’t created honorably, but rather in an act of treason, basically.

      Fascism has been entrenched in the halls of our government for quite some time now. This isn’t the descent. They’re just taking the mask off.
