Matt Walsh “Almost all of the arrests that happen in a given year are from like 5% of the population”
“Cause you take out the 70% who are never arrested, you take out the 25% who are arrested one time in their entire life, and you're left with 5% of the entire population that's actually doing all the work here in terms of committing crimes and getting arrested. If we were to just round them all up the 5% who are constantly committing crimes, and we would just round 'em all up, put 'em in a cage, put 'em in jail, then the rest of us could live in peace”
I thought this data was exaggerating, but it’s not. It’s real
Roughly 30-40%+ of Americans have been arrested by early adulthood, meaning 60-70% have zero arrests
This leaves a smaller share with repeated involvement, supporting “25% arrested once”
So that only leaves 5%, those 5% remaining are the repeat offenders
Just lock them all up and stop releasing them
@unusual_whales Anyone down to start the "Need for greed with bad deeds" NGO? It'd be based on WWDD (what would Donald do?) And the president already did it.
@unusual_whales Is it just me or has the government lost all legitimacy these days? All laws and rules can be disregarded in the pursuit of money. If anyone gets in trouble during the pursuit of money just mind the government that a new precedent has been set by this administration.
BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump family’s deals are expanding.
@unusual_whales New defense in this new paradigm is "what would Donald do?" Or, the president did it, it should be okay. Come on, grab the world by the pussy.
@unusual_whales That soldier with the Maduro bet shouldn't be in trouble. Hell Maduro shouldn't be in trouble. The proliferation of bad deeds for greed is the new frontier.
@joeroganhq I always wonder where some of these dipsshits would be if they weren't born who they were born. If his last name was Murphy instead of Kennedy where would he be?
I've introduced HR 8470, the Surveillance Accountability Act, with @RepBoebert.
It requires a probable cause warrant before the federal government can search your private data — even if that data is held by a third party.
Warrantless searches are unconstitutional.
Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert just declared war on the mass surveillance state.
“FISA 702 is just the tip of the iceberg … ”
“There have been so many erosions of our Fourth Amendment right to privacy.”
“The Bank Secrecy Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Patriot Act … all of them created so-called loopholes in the Constitution.”
“The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act … is used to go after Americans.”
“I’ve been in a SCIF last week where I saw two secret rulings … of how the government has created additional loopholes to spy on you that I’m not even allowed to tell you.”
“And finally, the third-party doctrine.”
“It’s based on a ruling of the Supreme Court … I think it was a bad ruling, but it’s been expanded in its interpretation to include things like doctor’s appointment records, bank records, phone records … Flock cameras.”
“Imagine … that you turn AI loose on these databases.”
“Now, there’s virtually nothing the government can’t know about you without a warrant.”
“That is why we’ve created … the Surveillance Accountability Act.”
“It closes these loopholes that I’ve explained.”
“And more importantly, it creates a private right of action.”
“It’s almost impossible to sue federal government employees if they infringe on your constitutional rights.”
“The second half of this bill gives you the right to sue the government employee.”
“If they infringe on your constitutional rights, they could be privately and personally sued for that.”

@SteveLovesAmmo It's probably stuff the Afghan government already owned. Issued weapons were definitely not left behind. Remember we did train and arm their "military."
🚨 BREAKING:
AI designed a rocket engine in just two weeks…
then engineers 3D printed it.
Not by copying old aerospace designs.
By searching geometries humans rarely imagine.
This may be where engineering starts evolving.
What happens when machines begin discovering physics-shaped designs we wouldn’t have drawn ourselves?
Follow me for frontier science and emerging tech.
This happened at a Costco in Queens.
And it was all because the black man wanted the shopping cart the Hispanic couple was already using.
A. Shopping. Cart.
Drone warfare is terrifying.
You can have a whole arsenal to of 2A arms, train daily, & be in the best shape of your life…. & it still won’t do crap against drones
This is a whole different level of man made horrors coming our way
Cop Runs over Father at the Park, Killing Him Instantly
Around 4:40 p.m., an officer driving a cruiser wasn’t watching the road, rolled over a man while chatting with another cop, and the impact was so severe bystanders heard what sounded like bones crunching.
