I'm so used to rooting for gridlock that I'm not sure what to make of having a team to cheer for, I'm talking about DOGE. Trump's still a mixed bag, with DOGE however, it's all upside. Although I'm once again reminded that we never have enough liberty minded lawyers and judges to go around.

I'm also reminded of how it's human nature to hate turncoats.

You can hate someone who's not on your team, but never as much as someone who WAS on your team. I suspect that's actually why they hate Elon so much, same for Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, maybe even Trump to some extent. Tim Pool and Joe Rogan fall into the same category. I've lost track of how many times Tim Pool has been swatted.

I ended up face down on the pavement in Fairbanks AK with AR's pointed at my head, because of a false police report. I played two gigs that night and was handcuffed to a bench until noon the next day. The cops never did give our friend his pistol back, only reason I wasn't armed was because I'd just flown in and my luggage got sidetracked. (Only time I've ever been glad to have that happen.)

I think that swatting shit should be treated like attempted murder under the law.

The Democrats remind me of the Ndrangheta, the most notorious mafia gang in the world:

The Democrats do not play nice. They bribe, steal, kill (they tried to kill Trump twice), and use extortion and threats to control people. So does the Ndrangheta.

As Sean Connery says in "The Untouchables," "How far are you prepared to go?"

Because once you go after these guys and their rice bowls, they are coming after you.

Good article, Brian. The battle isn't even over, let alone the war.
