Crystal City like Uvalde are in a God-forgoten part of Texas, that not even Texans ever heard about. At least in this case nobody got killed.

I have always proposed that this part of Texas used to relocate the Palestinians in the refuge camps in Lebanon an those displace by the settlers in the West Bank, you can put a lot of people there and nobody will notice.

I think this is just the Reader Digest version of what happens in Congress every day.

Interesting that the Feds undertook the investigation and made the arrests. What’s Austin doing?

Attention Talibundy patriots: Y’all better lock 'n load and high-tail it to CrystalMeth City to defend the good White people there from the illegal use of Federal laws against White people.

Hurry, before all the best defenseless Federal properties are taken! Go on, git!

Wow…This is just like a 1955 film called “The Phenix City Story”. It’s a biopic film that focuses on crime and corruption in a small town in Alabama, which was supposedly considered one of the most crime-infested cities in the United States at the time.

The movie is based on the 1954 murder of newly nominated Alabama Attorney General candidate Albert Patterson, who made it his mission to go after corruption, which included a complete takeover of the town to gambling and prostitution interests, run by gangsters, while having the entire police force on the payroll to protect their operations.

If I could only live to see it, to be there with you. What I wouldn’t give for twenty more years! Here we are, protected, free to make our profits without Kefauver, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. ninety miles away, in partnership with a friendly government. Ninety miles! It’s nothing! Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be President of the United States, and having the cash to make it possible. Michael, we’re bigger than U.S. Steel.

I think I know who’s behind this.

People always seem to forget that local elections have the biggest impact on daily lives. Now the people of Crystal City will have to pay for this mess in their tax dollars. I doubt many will skip those city council elections and meetings in the future.

I refuse to believe that such corruption could occur in a Bible-believing state like Texas which has produced such upright, godly, pillars of the community types like Tom DeLay, Louis Gohmert, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, and Greg Abbott.

There must be a mistake here. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn that these wonderful men are being framed by flag-burning, white wine-sipping, Prius-driving liberals. I’m sure this will all be straightened out very soon and these ‘real Americans’ will be vindicated.

Netanyahu thanks you, but, holy crap, that is a crappy idea.

Otoh this whole thing sounds to me like “small time” stuff, especially when compared to the corporate prisons, Flint water and what our rascals in Congress grab on a daily basis. And, look what Denny Hastert walked away with…his loot was much more than all these guys summed. My Buick discount was more than the mayor is charged with accepting towards an auto. Bundy and his kids probably owe the US more than these guys took.

Under a Republican administration … the justice dept. would be chasing after US attorneys and ignoring this “other” —

Elections have consequences —

Now this is real quid pro quo!

One common improvement that is suggested is to relocate them to Brooklyn, to Pamela Geller’s neighborhood.

The reality is that Israel is not giving back any territory, and nobody is going to force them to do it. It’s time to start looking for another solution, and one is finding a place where Palestinians can make a new home. The other option is a place that was originally reserved for Jews but most have left for Israel now, the <a href"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Autonomous_Oblast">Jewish Autonomous Oblast

I think they may have jurisdiction under federal law for instances of public corruption. It makes sense as you don’t want the corrupt government body prosecuting the corrupt government officials.

This is de rigueur for tex-ass! Remember the police scandal of Tyler, tex-ass about ten years ago? The police chief arrested 80% of the town’s African-American residents on trumped up drug charges. The Feds had to come in and remove him from office and review all of the cases he was involved in!

The scourge of spinach…

Ammon Bundy, is that you?
