CDR at Large of DOD 5000

It’s a state seat….

Somewhere in the world Huberman breaths a sigh of relief and slams a shot of AG-1 with a bull testicle finisher while wearing blue light blocking glasses.

I have tried looking for it but @sodrock.bsky.social had a meme that was like “oh fuck a GOFO can write?!?” And an area flying over the persons had saying the point.

My internet sleuthing didn’t yield much but perfectly encapsulated 05 and above critical thinking skills

Kind of a strange (oddly thrifty with context and very brief) article that didn’t really show examples as to why this thinking was bad. I think PAEs are fools errand and illusion of progress or change btw

Eye opening! Is there any reason to think things have changed or that they have only gotten worse?

It’s getting harder and harder to tell when scrolling that this kind of stuff is an Onion article

Sure, I mean I think ICE/CBP (I have seen it anecdotally referred to as even worse than ICE in terms of culture) should be totally dismantled in its current form and redone.

No argument from me

Yeah, I can understand but civil servant world is a little different. Pay grades are less hierarchical and not a rank. It doesn’t map to military structure in a pure sense

In this case power and perception of power flowed from proximity to the WH/cab level secretary.

That doesn’t solve the problem of someone reporting to a cabinet level secretary. At that point the “supervisor” is just signing his time card. What I am saying is that the normal rules didn’t apply which is why I think it’s a little rich to expect a whole bunch of people to resign (they should!)

Sorry, not sure I follow what you mean by this. Like have someone else supervise him?

SES don’t have resignation letters pre written in a desk drawer. My point is, and i am not disagreeing there should be accountability, but that is difficult when the supervisory chain is disintermediated as flamboyantly as it was

How do you supervise someone that reports directly to a cab secretary? The answer is you can’t without repercussions to your own career. Granted w/politicals no expectation to do something, the career SES on the other hand have some culpability but what would you have them do? Resign or get fired?

I just wonder how they can. I remember seeing the amount they got and wonder how they would be able to execute the money in a timely manner… guess it doesn’t matter

Don’t the appros have expiration dates?

By who? Congress? I am not trying to be combative; I think the body cam thing is the illusion of some type of meaningful check being enacted. Plays well, but when crimes are committed and recorded by the public and the perp in the case of Renee Good shooting body cams don’t mean much

They commit crimes in full view of the public. What difference in a meaningful sense does this make? Zero as far as I can think about it

This is something I have been pondering as well if we have an admin turnover at this point in ‘28. What happens to the people that did all this? No one is going to be locked up, in fact I don’t see any type of measures being enacted if a dem takes office. It will be turn the page.

But to what?

Yes! CBP are the strange men in green suits. Much worse

CBP as well.

CBP needs to be part as well. They appear to be committing some of the most conspicuous actions

Very ignorant of constitutional matters, but find it fascinating. Does Congress not prescribe via laws passed how the executive executes? Isn’t that the point of removal in only cases for cause or that people need to be in good standing (I am trying to remember how @joshchafetz.bsky.social dscrb it)

I actually see this as a good thing if this is anything like how DoD manages acquisitions with its PEOs (now PAEs) total dumpster fire

This is the logical conclusion of a deeply violent and imperialist culture incapable of reckoning with the aftermath of a catastrophe of 9/11.

We organized around constructing an extremely powerful and paranoid federal police state and the chickens have come home to roost.

Why is anyone shocked?

9:28 am an ICE commando team kicks in my front door with RFK Jr because Alexa told them I used refined sugar in pancakes I made for my 8 year old

Wrong take, brodacho

I think the tattoo stuff has pretty much passed over at this point. People made their decision on it. Guy has the thing.. remains to be seen what that portends. I only see hardcore politik folk on bluesky with drugged about it

What part of the budget appropriated money for this? Isn’t that the job of Congress? I like Senator Van Hollen, but I shake my head where he doesn’t highlight how this isn’t something the pres has the power to do. This is a time purpose amount that hasn’t been approved by Congress

My core belief that people aren’t stupid gets less and less convincing to myself
