I assume agents who fail to redact mention of Trump or Musk end up fired.

    I guess we will never find out what’s on those CDs and hard drives.

    Among the images shown to the jury in Ghislaine Maxwell’s underage sex-trafficking trial was one showing a safe found in a fifth-floor dressing room that was sawed open by the FBI and contained hard drives, CDs, diamonds, a large amount of US currency, and passports belonging to Epstein

          That’s their goal.

          If people stop believing in government, private industry is the only alternative.

          And if you’ve got some dream of an autonomous commune in mind, forget it. They would smash you just to keep the thugs in practice.

            Maybe I should clarify. Trust but verify. It’s probably better to say not to trust them blindly. From my perspective, this isn’t a bad thing.

          We need to consolidate resources to survive. We need someone to manage our shared resources. Is this not obvious?

        If you’ve ever trusted any of them you’re naive. That’s what all that stuff with democracy, rule of law, separation of powers and checks and balances is about. You only get power for a limited amount of time with clearly defined conditions and accountability. I know it has never really worked that way in the US but right now they’re even dropping all pretense.

          Society needs some level of trust to work. At least all the current methods of society we have do. So, no, not really naive. Betrayed is a more apt term. They broke the social contract, not us.
