For years, a security unit within the Commerce Department has allegedly run rampant, morphing into a full-scale counterintelligence force that investigates its employees and outside critics — without any apparent authorization or proper training to do so.
Benito Mussolini, We Hardly Knew Ye
Clocking in at the Commerce Department was famously fraught with peril in the Trump years.
I wonder what Strike Team Zero had to say to the hurricane forecaster whose map failed to conform to the Executive Sharpie.
I wonder if Strike Team Zero found bamboo on somebody’s weather map.
Fucking Gestapo-lite
“The antics of the Investigations and Threat Management Service (ITMS), whose surveillance training reportedly involves following supervisor George Lee as he zips around mountain roads in his car, were first reported earlier Monday by the Washington Post.”
The Black Sharts

Obviously dating back to Bill and Hillary, and funded by Soros, Inc. We’ll know more if @castor_troy takes an unexpected sabbatical.
We must get down to the bottom of exactly whom stole the president’s weather sharpie.
To be fair, some of those roads are great fun to race around on. Any excuse to get away with it is good

Parents get interviewed:
“Oh, Timmy’s dream has to backpack through Pyongyang and see the sights. You know, take a bunch of photographs, talk to the locals, poke his head in some government buildings to admire the architecture. And now those bastards are torturing him in jail!!”
Sheesh. Stay the f**k out of such countries. Idjits.

[“But in Georgia , the audit-seeking election truthers got a court win, with a judge ordering Friday that Fulton County turn over copies of its 147,000 mail-in ballots for inspections. The lawsuit claims falsely that there was mass ballot counterfeiting in Fulton County’s election.”]
Anyone up on this?
