Bored As gently caress posted:We really do need a federal service of firefighters. Pay them well. It'd be a great jobs program, and they can be deployed anywhere in the country where big fires happen. Get 5 or 10 thousand of em. Put them under the Department of the Interior or something and have them coordinate with FEMA and the states. The Department of Agriculture (Forest Service) has about 10 thousand full, part-time, or reserve wildland fire fighters just on it's own. The DOI has some too, but more based on the local agency level like Parks, BIA, etc. A lot of those guys are on some type of task force and routinely get assignments all over the country.

Doc Hawkins posted:meanwhile we're totally fine in CA gotta say i thank god/zeus/vishnu that Washington State didnt get hit with wildfires this year (yet). In addition to a cooler summer (even with a few days of rain!) I really think quarantine kept people home and the parks closed, so that people couldnt accidentally/purposely start fires as had been the case in previous years. We got lucky because our National Guard force is tasked with assisting the civil authorities on fire fighting and we were burned out due to covid and riot support.

This is really cool. They really need to expand that force by a gently caress ton because climate change is only going to make all of these fires more frequent and worse in severity.

This is the mirror image of DNC defenders (or simply annoyed progressives who wish Sanders et al were better campaigners) who say “you could have run a progressive who could get voters to vote for them. But you didn’t.”

The best way I've had it described to me is "If the DEA or ATF indict you, you might have a fighting chance. If it's the FBI, you may want to plea out but you might have a chance depending on the charge. If it's the Postal Inspectors, you're hosed and they know it."

Is it possible for Bannon to be pardoned before a conviction? If so, my money is on that. If not, he will plea ASAP to be pardoned before January 2021 / 2025

MrMojok posted:I guess the idea that boog/extremist types are too lardass and/or cowardly to actually do anything is worth considering. There's also a selection effect where you only see/hear about the shitbirds because they're the ones who are visible right now, and because the more serious planners are still getting busted. Those Base dudes could have been ugly, but the FBI was all over them because government is still mostly functioning. If Trump claims the election is fraudulent, even if he steps down there's going to be a chunk of people who are currently sitting this out who might get more radical. I'm pretty confident in Federal law enforcement as far as domestic CVE goes (at the moment they've pretty thoroughly penetrated right-wing potential extremists, the jokes write themselves, ACAB), but if the rot spreads to the point where you get a decent chunk of America buying into some spinoff of Q or even just the belief that a Democratic president is illegitimate then you're going to get some LE folks accidentally forgetting to report something or actively helping out extremists and that's the point where things go absolutely off the rails. Structurally, we're still statistically fairly likely to come through all of this without actual conflict, but even a year ago we were not ticking nearly as many boxes on the march to civil war spreadsheets as w are right now.

If there's one thing that Donnie can't stand, it's people on the sidelines grifting on his name, then getting in trouble for it. It's like the equivalent of a mob associate not kicking a taste up to the boss. Donnie's already pulling the COFFEE BOY COFFEE BOY act, even though they call each other off and on. Now if Bannon starts making squealing noises like Stone did? Now we're talking.
