TFG perverted our government at every level and in every department. How could the people in Homeland security go along with this?

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

The Department of Homeland Security launched a failed operation that ensnared hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. protesters in what new documents show was as a sweeping, power-hungry effort before the 2020 election to bolster President Donald Trump’s spurious claims about a “terrorist...

The real story here is that they were actually terrorists and that our government bureaucracies didn't label and treat them as such.
 
Read it....I will repeat here....a considerable effort was made in the Trump Administration to turn DHS into a Ministry of the Interior satisfying the desires of the President and members of DHS leadership appointed by the President.

For example, Brian Murphy, the undersecretary for Intelligence and Analysis at DHS on his own authority changed the accepted defined term at DHS,
that directed reports regarding Portland to use “Violent Antifa Anarchists Inspired” (VAAI) as a term of reference vice the previously approved term, “violent opportunists apparently without any evidence suggesting the need for the change. Mr Murphy was temporarily reassigned for this indiscretion and the media stir it created.

DHS is at this point a MESS IMO and needs to be restructured to meet the needs of the country for such an organization as DHS without all the additional BULLSHIT and baggage of trying to be a Ministry of the Interior which the country DOES NOT NEED!
 
Besides the fact that this article is chock full of spinning weasel words, I think most people would agree that it's a good thing for the DHS to try to get a handle on a group of people who tried their best to destroy Portland OR for an entire summer.
 
I’m shocked you know the “weasel” vocabulary!

I'm not surprised. The truth sometimes has that affect on people who believe in fantasies.

You shouldn't be surprised. I am very good at detecting...and dismissing weasel words.

Fortunately I'm done with my drink so I don't have to clean my laptop again.

Oh, and "effect" not "affect" just as an FYI.

Not criticizing, educating. Lots of people get that wrong but it's really easy if you know what's up.

Here's an easy explainer.

“Affect” vs. “Effect”: What’s the Difference?

Affect is usually used as a verb meaning to influence or produce a change in something, whereas effect is generally used as a noun that…

I just got an image of the thousands of sneeze guards on MAGA moron keyboards to prevent computer crashing from all the snorted coffee and rage spittle flying each and every day....

I was cutting some slack. Far more have fomented online, around the country, not just on Jan 6th.

Many MAGAs are not good at recognizing the difference between protest and insurrection. Explains why the MAGA moron Congress critters called Jan 6th just another tour group...
 
Oh...I see what you're doing. You're trying to include people saying things you don't like as terrorism.
