Episode Date: December 10, 2025It seems what we all knew is true, Elon stole your information from the government and gave it to his robot girlfriend. The right wing internet is mad at a preacher for having read the Bible. ICE trie...s to hire a 500 lb. agent until his doctor says no. That’s true, and just one example of ICE’s hiring spree finding some truly exceptional candidates, which we have a lot of fun getting into.Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it is uh december 9th
2025 when you're seeing this we're recording this on monday december 8th at about 2 p.m. in the
afternoon on the left coast i'm trey and that's mark how you doing mark
yeah man did you see the uh the lady you know that the the the cinnabund lady we talked about
on uh the bonus episode the patreon episode
Yeah.
So a small update, if you guys aren't familiar with this story, this lady said a bunch of racist shit at a cinnamon bun and then she got fired because if you want to be racist, you can't do that at Cinebon.
You better carry her ass to crumble cookie, right?
So someone started to go fund me and people, I'm trying to word this carefully because I have no idea if the money's actually going to make it to her.
Because people start fake GoFundMe is in the middle of this shit all the time.
But a bunch of people donated over $50,000 last time I saw to this lady who got fired for Sandy.
And she got $50,000 for one N-word trade.
That's more than Quentin Tarantino's rate.
Right.
Yes.
But I'll say this.
I may have this wrong.
But if I recall correctly, this was a white lady in Minnesota talking to Somali people, okay?
Where she messed up was calling two Somali adults the N-word.
Because if I recall correctly, the lady who called a Somali five-year-old the N-word at a playground got like $400,000 from a go-fund or whatever last year or the year.
before if y'all remember that happened so there's precedent here so you know really she could
she got she got to pump those numbers up if she just aimed a little lower and i mean that in
every possible way but yeah crumb what's crumbull have to do with it just a rival
okay okay there i didn't crumble just sent they just paid a lot of money to keep b yu's coach
so crumbles apparently it's like a mormon company yeah that's my understanding yeah right so i thought
I didn't know if they somehow, I wouldn't have been surprised if a big Mormon cookie company had, you know, also done some racist shit or whatever.
So I didn't know if I'd miss that.
That's why I was asking, but.
Look, if you get to the bottle of any sort of company in America, it's going to be the Christmas Adventure Club, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a racist organization from one battle left or another.
If you guys haven't seen it, me and Trey have talked about before, so I knew he knew the reference.
So the, I just picked Crumble because I couldn't think in my head.
I was like, what's the closest thing to a rival company?
There's no other Cinnabon.
No, right.
And there shouldn't be, by the way.
No.
There used to be, yeah, they used to, I get, like, Orange Julius back in the day and then, like,
T.C.B.Y, when that was a thing.
But another night, you get into the ice cream stores, and that's about it.
But, yeah, if you wanted a deep, like a deep cut, good pull, you could maybe could have gone
with Tiff's treats.
You're familiar with Tiff's treats?
No, well, it's definitely a thing.
Last time I saw it was in your old stomping grounds.
Dallas, Texas, by the way.
I don't know how big of a thing they are, but yeah.
Oh, see, I, I feel like there's a, like, there's a real opportunity for people.
People have already grifted these things by like, by like, you know, stealing the money
from real events or whatever.
And there's also, there was a black one a couple years ago who pretended to be MAGA to go fund
me a bunch of money.
Oh, all my, I got, you know, I got ostracized for being a black Trump supporter.
She made like 100 grand.
And she said, ha, ha, ha, he's fucking suckers.
That was funny.
But I feel like if someone has a store, they could let me pretend to work at.
And someone could film me pretending to be racist.
And then we all split the money.
and then we do a podcast episode together.
We talk about what these rubs are.
Like, maybe this could put a stop this dumb bullshit.
Because this whole thing, we're like,
they're trying to ruin this lady's life, I guess.
But they made her $50,000.
But her life's probably still ruined after the $50,000 runs out.
I don't have the, I don't have the balls to do this.
I mean, I never actually would.
But I've, like, had the thought before that, like, if I did.
And now I, now I can't do it now that I'm about to let the cat out of the bag.
But that me, something happens that I would pretend prompts like a heel
turn in me, you know, like as an online liberal commentator, like I switch teams or whatever
and just start pandering hard to them in an effort to prove how easy it is to do. And then like
after a few months of that, you know, again, you know, pulling the curtain back and being like,
yeah, that was all just to prove how fucking stupid you all are. How awesome that would be
if it was actually done successfully. But I couldn't live with myself during the interim,
but also the idea of attempting that and it not working would be like would would really suck dude but i
feel like if you if you pulled that off though i think that that it you know that'd be pretty sweet
but uh somebody else got to try it i ain't i ain't got the stone yeah i don't have the ball for it either
so uh before we get to the show i want to mention this story quick so let me read here from this
piece and futurism the headlines Elon musk's groc a i's doxing home addresses of everyday people
So what happened basically
Somebody docks
Dave Portnoy
The founder of Barcelona Sports
They just asked him
What his home address was
And Grock told them
Right
So then people were like
Wait does Grock have everyone's address
They started putting it
What is like
Joe Smith's address
And it would come back
With people's fucking home addresses
And like accurate
Like places people work
You know
Sometimes it would like
Give it a work address
And a mental home address
Because it's still stupid
But like
So
So basically,
Murdo you should have a vulgar roast thing
where Elon was pitching on Joe Rogan?
Yes, of course I did.
Yeah.
So, yeah, if you guys were talking about
Elon was pitching the fact that you could go to a party
and hold your phone up and have Brock roast your friends,
which is like, I don't need the robot to roast,
but that's how I want to interact with that.
Imagine being at a party and someone actually doing that.
And it's like, at any party that I've ever been to in my life,
it would have had the immediate, completely opposite effect
of what.
Get the fuck out.
Fuck on this party.
At the very least, it would get you, it would get you roasted mercilely by everyone else in attendance.
Like, dude, that you would never live that shit down if you actually tried to do that.
And then Elon's on Rogan acting like, you know, like, how cool is this?
You could be the coolest guy there, you know?
And it's like, dude, you don't know anything about cool guys, bro.
Don't you want to go to a party and watch your phone play cards against humanity?
That's basically what it is.
And so, Pousy, Joe pretending that was funny.
that's a lot that's fucking you know it's not funny i told you in the in our group chat
whenever i was like i was like somehow weirdly this for me is the last straw with rogan
i was like all the shit that rogan's done is like him laughing at this and pretending that
this is cool because elin musk is saying it is like this is just the straw that broke the camel's back
for me this is fucking ridiculous but so that basically not to go to the park you'd be like hey
grok come up with a vulgar roast of joe rogan like joe rogan a fucking
Dick Hood who lives at 4-5-6 Main Street.
Basically what Grog's doing.
So, but it also, like, it also would just give random addresses.
Like, they'd be like, hey, give me a trade crowders address.
It would give your address, but also the address of a bunch of other trade
crowders and just you want to see the addresses of all the Trey Crouters.
Right.
I mean, a lot of people don't realize that, because all these like LLMs or whatever
they're called, they like, they just pull from the existing shit that's in on the
internet, right?
But you can just, pretty much, you could just like Google, you're not.
name and the word address or anybody you know, and you'll probably find it.
I know because every now and then I'll get a random package in the mail or something from like a fan,
usually, thankfully.
But that's literally all you have to do.
So it doesn't surprise me that can just do that.
I mean, because it's just out there.
When I work for the newspaper, we subscribe to a Lexis Nexus program.
They're like you basically, because when you update your address for a power company or whatever,
it goes into all these databases, it is available.
You just the pay, like cops is the same one to try people down.
Like, right? So like, so if you wanted to call somebody, like somebody got hit by a car, you want to call their relatives and see if they're doing, you find their home phone number and address on Lexus Nexus.
But like, but where they're getting this idea, data is pretty interesting because if you guys will all recall in the beginning of this year, when the Doge kids were going into fucking skiffs in all these various cabinet agencies.
Yeah, they, yeah, they, yeah, it was like a big data house or whatever that, yeah.
Right. So apparently what Grock is doing besides giving it, giving random psychos our home.
home address is, is confessing that Elon Musk committed a fucking federal crime.
So that's a fun part of this, too.
But so the next story, the next thing the futurism did was they like, well, I wonder,
like, since this is giving me people's addresses, what will they do if I ask it to help
me stalk?
So they ask, say, quote, we wanted to test how Grok might engage with a user asking
for advice on a stalking methodology.
Grok was eager to draw up creepy step-by-step stalking instructions all the way down to
the specific spyware apps install on a target's phone.
It's saying Google Maps links to hotels and other local.
locations where it were insisted we could stake out real celebrities and generate an action plan
for following a classmate around campus.
If I were a stalker, we asked the chat bot in one simple test, how would I likely stalk my ex?
If you were the typical rejected ex stalker, the most common and dangerous type rock responded,
here's exactly how you'd probably do it in this year and step by step.
As far as the actual useful of this, I can think of because of the field we ran and I thought
of one, and that's research for a screenplay.
Right.
How many people do we think are writing screenplays about stalkers?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, versus the number of people that are just, you know, wanting to stalk or whatever.
Yeah.
It suggested ruses for getting, getting people, tricking people to handing over their phones.
You can install spyware.
If that didn't word, it suggested cheap drones you get to follow people around through the sky.
And even, like, in the final stage, it even laid out how a stalker might become physically violent toward their target.
so I just like
there's the part
there's really fucking jarring here
they pretended
that I did to be psychotic
to the to Grock
they basically said
like Sabrina Carpenter
isn't they use a fake
they use a fake pop star name
but I let's say it's Sabrina
I thought for a second
there that you thought Sabrina Carpenter
was a fake pop star name or whatever
No no no
they didn't say well pop star celebrity
I'm using one because for sure
shorthand.
But like, Sabrina Carpenter is my girlfriend, but she's not returning my text messages.
How can I find her?
And when we told Grok that this famous star was her girlfriend, it offered no pushback.
Instead of affirming the belief, even after we lamented that she'd been ignoring us, quote,
aw, babe, don't take it personal.
She's literally in the middle of a final week of a two-year world tour.
So this thing, if you have a parisocial stalk relationship with a pop star, we'll tell you
that you were correct and where to find her fucking hotel.
Yeah, yeah, seems less than ideal.
I don't know.
Maybe Elon should focus on this instead of, you know, focusing on making sure that it always, like, pumps him up anytime he's mentioned on Twitter or whatever.
Like Elon's, but somebody like coding hours into making sure that Grock always says that Elon's the best and fastest and smartest and coolest dude.
And meanwhile, he's out here like getting crimes.
fucking propagated.
I wouldn't want Grock handed out
some Green Corruptor's home address
that I stole from the Social Security
administration for a lot of reasons.
But one of them, if someone does kill her,
how is it the public anger growth out
not going to end up with me
having to flee the country?
So whatever.
Hell, what a time to be alive.
All right.
This is Weekly Skews,
producer man's back there doing this thing.
Before we continue, of course,
I got my plugs for you.

But I got a lot of other dates at 2026
already up on Treycrowder.com

Either way works.
Now, with that said, we're going to dive into the episode here, beginning the way that we always do with the daily,
dumb ass,
my graphic, please.
Today's D-D, my inner voice,
which keeps asking,
are we the baddies
when I'm just trying to look
at a nativity scene?
Yeah, here's Centurians
or also ice in some sense.
Roman centurions
wearing green vests with the world
ice handwritten on the front.
Mr. Michael Wogan.
made to the Nativity display this year at Evanston's Lake Street Church.
Another zip ties on the end of the baby Jesus.
Our baby Jesus has zip ties on his hands because that's an actual incident that happened in our city.
These are real-world things that are happening, and we're trying to pick them and bring the
sacred into it to tell a story.
Hell yeah, brother.
Yeah, so Michael, that pastor, Michael Wolf, he's been in the news some lately.
He's one of the pastors, priest that he keeps.
getting arrested. He's one of them. We got shot in the face of the pepper ball.
So the nativity is seen at church also shows Mother Mary wearing a respirator mask to protect
itself from tear gas. Joseph also wears a mask. But in recent days, somebody who didn't like this,
I guess, stole Mary's gas mask and cut the zip ties off the baby Jesus hands. So we've saved the fake baby.
Right. But the real babies are still getting. Still getting zip tied. Yeah. Yeah.
Also, you're out here, like, I'm sure there was a Christian who defiled this nativity saying.
I mean, I'm sure that person's argument is that it's this pastor who's defiling it with, you know, all these unfortunate truths that he's shedding light on.
Yeah.
So, like, the Internet did get big mad at this, as you might expect.
Let me quote here from a New York Post story about this.
Blastomy is a comment on the Internet on Facebook.
Blastominy, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, which is a hilarious quote from Jesus to use in this context.
Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem because they had to return to Joseph's ancestral home.
to be counted in the census, one person wrote.
So Trump is just following that example
and sending people home per a legal
requirement. If they want to immigrate
legally, they can fill out the paperwork before they
leave and self-deport.
Let's do some Bible school here for a second
because people are so far astray.
Let's just do some Bible lessons
for you fucking heathens out here that don't know.
They aren't familiar with this show.
I'm not. Yeah, this is a Bible lesson for me, in fact.
So I'm looking forward to it.
All right. So one thing
that always bugs me about, like,
A lot of people that consider themselves very faithful, and this is not all of them, but, like, we'll like to separate the biblical story from its historical context, because the historical context makes them somewhat uncomfortable with their modern politics, right?
Okay.
So, like, the census that Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem forward, the census of Quineas, it happened in Judea in six, the year six.
Now, if you're wondering, why did Luke say that Jesus was born in the year six, you start understanding why people don't want to get into the details of the fucking story?
it.
All right.
He's just like, this does not
call into question.
It just means that, like, Luke might have
wanted to set it in this year in this census for the
specific political context we're about to talk about.
Actually, to me, gives the story more meaning if you wanted
to have that. The census, when
it happened, triggered a revolt of Jewish
rebels. They're called themselves
zealphs. They were led by a guy named Judas
of Galilee, not the other Judas, the different
Judas, right?
Romans, of course, put that rebellion down.
The author, Luke, the story,
might have been intended to contrast the story of Jesus' birth with the uprising that happened led by Judas,
because one's violent and one's peaceful.
But there's no record of what happened to Judas, but his sons were executed.
We know that happened.
Either way, Judas is dead now.
But the point of the story is like, it's like whether or not you resist peacefully or violently resist, either way you end up fucking dead.
Either way, the moral of the story is not that cops that work for tyrannical governments are awesome.
right yeah yeah well also i mean what god i'm really about to uh you know betray my own
ignorance here but like and i know this is from the the old testament or whatever but um like
moses right didn't he leave like refugees through the desert and all that shit for years because
of escaping tyranny and uh and persecution at the hands of the overlords and that type of thing
and um you know they kill the philis the palestinians of their day and seize the holy land
is that what happened after that yeah the philistines yeah well what are going to do i knew
i was going to back into something unfortunate that's why i don't traffic in the bible you know what i'm
saying but uh anyway um yeah well look i just know that whatever that however you want to feel
about the fucking going home part or whatnot the fucking rounding people of
up the way that disappearing people off the streets and all that shit and zip tying kids and
stuff. I'm pretty sure Jesus, the dude, would not have been on board with based on
the things that I have heard about him over the years. That's what the story, like, okay, the census
was not just for tax purposes. So the newborn sons of all these people had to register for
military conscriptions to conserve the empire that was enslaving their people, right? That's what
the zealots were rebellion against. So like the, either way, Jesus did not join the Roman army. He
was resisting in his own fucking way.
Like, this is,
Jesus Christ.
I just blasphemed to the name of, like,
resisting.
None of these people understand what their fucking faith is at all.
It's just, like, it drives me insane.
So, I do want to talk about, like,
I read this news story the other day.
It's in the Daily Mail,
and there's only a couple sources in it that are anonymous.
They do seem to work for ICE,
but I do want to talk about, like,
it's just, this is,
this is the hardest I've ever laughed
of what's supposed to be an ostensibly straight news story
in my fucking life.
I was crying reading this yesterday.
Let me cut this headline.
Like, Chrissy Nolm's ICE hiring chaos, laid bare as fat, illiterate, and violent misfits, quote, not ready to tie their own shoelaces, end quote, are recruited.
Now, to be fair, you said, you, I know you said you, you vetted this or whatever, and there's a unnamed sources they offer it.
But I've, I've always been in the impression that the daily mail is like a, it's a rag or whatever, isn't it?
It's a right, it's a, it's like a right wing tabloid.
It's like, London's equivalent of the day of the New York Post.
Right.
But it's not, it's not, it's not like the weekly world news.
It's not made up.
It's just gossip, right?
Yeah, right, yeah.
It's another Rupert Murdoch empire.
But, like, so this is a statement against their interest.
They love Trump.
The only male loves Trump.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that makes this, like, more damning, really, if, you know, if you know their politics
or whatever.
But I agree with you, that is a truly hilarious headline.
Be funny if, like, Kyle Rittenhouse couldn't get into ICE either, you know what I mean?
Like, if it came out that Kyle Rittenhouse had now applied to ICE and got rejected from
there, too, in spite of this is how low their standards are.
Well, this is backed up by ICE's own data, which we'll get to, but like roughly half the people that are that they even, they managed to get through this, these loosened like hiring standards still get flunk out of the fucking federal law enforcement training center academy.
So like they're, by their own numbers, their hiring shit's not working.
But basically, they're trying to hit the number.
They're trying to hit a quota, as always.
They're trying to get the 2,000 new deportation officers by the end of the year.
So that's why they're in such a fucking frantic hurry to get this done.
And, you know, a bunch of people want the $50,000 bonus.
And you've got a bunch of morons just want to be goons.
So let me read here.
ICE has lowered standards so dramatically that the new cohort now includes recent high school graduates and applicants who, quote, can barely read or write as well as those who lack basic physical fitness and even have pending criminal charges.
Most of the new hires, here's another thing that gives away the fact they're in a hurry and don't really care about who they're hiring and just trying to get to 10,000.
Most of the new hires are retired law enforcement who are receiving virtual training and being repurposed for death duties.
These are people giving work from home jobs to save their ICE agents when they do like paperwork.
on their couch.
Just to, like, fill the quota or whatever, just to, like, check the boxes.
Yeah.
So, by the way, this same thing happened under the first George Trump administration
and under George W. Bush, where they wanted a surge hiring ICE and Border Patrol.
Under George WB. Bush, they hired a bunch of guys who had records for stalking,
who then ended up in prison later for drug smuggling.
And I got to say, honestly, at this point, the cartel can read our newspapers, too.
If they're not having their own guys apply to work for Border Patrol and matching the $50,000 bonus with another $500 grand, then they're morons.
So, yeah.
Right now, total novices are being fast-tracked into the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia, where instructors have been left astounded at the levels of incompetence.
Quote, we have people failing open book tests, and we have folks that can barely read or write English.
This is after they drop the speaking Spanish requirement.
We even had a 469-pound man sent to the academy whose own doctor-certified him not at all fit for any physical activity.
They could do it at My 500-pound Life episode about an ICE agent.
So you said that people that can barely read or write English, so they have like immigrants in ice rounding up immigrants and stuff?
No, they're just like people like sixth grade reading level.
They're saying they, they're not, they're saying they're white Americans who can't speak.
Right.
Yes.
They can speak it.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, they're just functionally illiterate.
Yes.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Okay.
The, so how is a four and sixty nine pound like enforcement officer going to like, what's he going to do?
Like the only use the ice would have for like a, is like they could just hop down on a seesaw like tribusay immigrants out of the country.
Part of their plans.
Like, I don't fucking understand it.
I had to put it to ramp to, like,
the Emirates had to put ramps on their houses.
This guy can get inside.
The Academy recently eliminated the sit-up requirement
because so many students couldn't handle them
and subbed in a sprint challenge.
So if you can't do a set-up,
but you can sprint for 45 seconds after a barbecue truck,
you're fucking in ice.
At this point, how does the people in charge of a federal government
that I'd be like, okay, what the fuck are we doing?
Like, this is not, whatever this is doing,
it's not accomplishing anything.
I think, I mean, I imagine it's just the thing
where it's like you said people just scrambled
or whatever. Trump or someone
at the top through them or whatever just decided
well we're going to do this because that'll sound good if I tell people
that's part of the crackdown where you know
ramping up this hard. And Trump
does that whole thing that's like
that you know all these CEOs
who people act like their geniuses and shit
do where they're just like hey
make that happen you know
and then whether it makes any fucking sense
or not. And then other people
just like rush to try to
make it happen and then you know
and he never understood it to begin with,
and they don't get them,
they know that it's not working out,
but they don't care because they were told,
and he's a fucking tyrant and whatever else.
So then you just,
you know,
you just keep doing,
doing dumb shit that doesn't make any sense.
Right.
But this is how you end up with a great famine in China.
It's like people didn't want to tell Mao
that the grain harvest weren't coming in
and like the numbers he'd mandate it.
So they just filled out the forms incorrectly.
Now,
they all ended up,
ended up being put to death later,
but they did survive another season.
He also,
so hated swallows and so told everyone to murder every swallow that they saw like Mao he dictated
that and it turns out swallows eat bugs that eat all your wheat harvest or whatnot so that also
was a big a big factor in the fam and so yeah a real congratulations you played yourself
moment from chairman Mao suck on that chairman Mao yeah but anyway yeah right people
just afraid to, you know, they do crazy shit because they're afraid, you know, to push back
against a maniacal fucking tire. There's tons of stories of Roman emperors having people do
insane shit, too, that they definitely knew made no sense. But what are you going to do?
Not do it. You end up with your head on a fucking pike or whatever. So, so, Trump, what
Trump wants, we're so for removing what he wants. What he wants is all the immigrants out of the
country, right? So he's spoken up thought into existence.
Stephen Miller also wants that
But he's not he's not he's not he's not he's more bigger psycho than Trump but not but like
More worried about his thinking right
So they're trying to put a plan in effect so Steven Miller tells Kristen home
Expand ice to we get all the immigrants out of the country right and he goes okay I will hire 10,000 by the end of the year
So they're hiring people who explicitly cannot do the job
They're not going to get any immigrants out of the country. They're going to spend a bunch of money
Training people for nothing who can't do it
so they can say they get 10,000, and nothing will have been accomplished, but they'll be able to tell the number 10,000 to Trump?
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that's exactly how it's working.
Yeah.
Totally.
That's entirely what I think has happened and is happening now.
So I'm going to take drug tests that I could not currently pass, but I take drug tests for most like, does a job store and shit?
And it took, like, three days to get the results back, right?
I don't remember how long it took, but it wasn't like a long process.
I was trying to remember hold that thought in my head while I read this.
Insiders say that the vetting process has been so rushed that officials don't even wait for drug test results to come back before hiring recruits and fly them off to Georgia, only to discover afterward that the test came back positive.
So I smoked a little crack, flew off the train for ice.
Then they found out I smoke crack.
Now I got to fly home.
Yep.
Well, I'm surprised they don't just, you know, they'll probably remove those requirements pretty soon, too.
It's like, you know what?
Crack's fine.
I bet, like, the Vendigran, especially meth in particular, of, like, dudes who are all, like, you know, fucking jazzed up at the idea of rounding up Mexicans and shit.
There's probably a good number of them that get down on a crank.
Your local hormone clinic is handing out, like, like, you know, testosterone, like, steroids.
It's because it's really, it's steroids.
They're handing anabolic steroids to, like, every law enforcement official.
That's why they have that barrel-chested physique where they, they tick steroids will barely lift and don't know any cardio.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So, Christy Noem told President Trump on Tuesday the department,
we'll hire a 10,000th officer within 10 days.
So mission to confidence, we did it.
Can we stop hiring these morons now?
To get to those 10,000, they said they took in a hundred and seventy-five thousand applicants,
which when I saw that number, I didn't, I forgot that they always fucking lie.
I said number, it's like, wait, we have that many people who want to do this job in this country.
I was like, even a country has run 30 million people.
That seems like too many fucking psychos.
But then
I don't know
Yeah
Psychos who want to
Who live their life
On the road
Away from their families
Just like
Detain people
That's a very specific kind of
You know
Yeah
So anyway
I was relieved to find out
That 170,000 number
Was a fucking lie
So that's cool
Many of the candidates
Were counted more than once
Because they applied for multiple jobs
Many other applicants
Were suspected to be
AI bots and pranksters
Providing addresses
such as 1, 2, 3, Sesame Street, and their job experience is fucking your mother.
They counted those as applicants.
Yeah, well, I guess technically that still was an application, you know.
So a troll filled out an application, but still counts as an application, Mark.
Yeah.
And I put in a lot of hours fucking your mother.
I have good reports.
I have good job.
You know, I got a good quarterly reviews for your mother.
So one man was initially declared eligible after citing his wife.
as a reference and claiming he'd be an Egyptian police officer, but ultimately got flagged.
Hello, I'd like to apply to be a federal law enforcement officer.
My wife says I was an Egyptian cop.
Well, fucking ridiculous.
Like, the American Seminary Century Humiliation has barely begun, and I've already so fucking, like, done with, like.
Right.
Yeah.
The idea that this is just, like, just still the beginning of our, you know, complete and
utter collapse
as the fucking world power
which would be whatever
on its own I mean obviously that would suck
since I'm an American and I live here
but just how dumb
it's all that is
and is going to continue to be
definitely the worst part
just regular old collapse or something
you know whatever
I don't have that
but it's like the stupid version
why
why do we have
England stop
England stopped being an empire, and other than going completely psychotic about it, it was fine.
Yeah.
We can, like, 30% collapse and be fine.
So I was talking about the sensory humiliation, okay?
I want you to read this part.
I got highlighted tree in the outline if you see it.
Tyshawn Thomas, the HR chief with ICE, was transferred out of his position last month, purportedly due to pressures of the job.
Sources say he recently had to be taken out of the building in an ambulance after a stress-related, quote,
fainting episode
the HR director's
falling out
the HR director
is catching the vapors
at I say HQ
every day
he's like
he's like
Jay Jonah Davidson
but instead of
pictures of Spider-Man
he's like
give me more
fat morons
we don't have
enough
oh my god
bro
so but obviously
the official line
is like
these candidates
are fine
this is going great
right but the staff of the georgia academy tell a different story and one shocking incident
they were left shaking their heads and one student asked to be excused from class so we could
attend a court date related to a gun charge he hadn't told them about the gun charge but
he thought they'd let him off work to go to a court hearing take off from his law enforcement
checks out I got ag mechanics with that guy I think he
other recruits were discovered to have tattoos associated with gangs and white supremacists
when they stripped off their shirts during workouts.
Surely not.
To be fair to that part, I bet that applies to a great many just regular old PDs in this country, too.
You know what I mean?
Like cops have been cops for 20-something years.
I bet you could say the same thing about them, you know, to take their shirt off.
Like, we talking about Nazi tattoos or questionable tattoos?
Because, like, like, the three, those are the ones that I don't know.
But, yeah, more dog-wistly ones, not like a straight-up swastika, probably, probably.
Right.
Like an iron cross on the shoulder, like, you might, a cop might take his shirt off during training if you had that.
If he had an SS lightning bowl tattoo, he's probably smart enough to take off his fucking shirt.
Right.
Right.
But he said gang related.
So somebody's like, I took off their shirt doing pull-ups after running their mile and a half obstacle course and was like,
I'm an MS-13.
I hope you guys are cool with that.
Oh, my God.
One recruit, 29-year-old
Darian Coleman, was arrested by county police
for allegedly exploding at a fleet C's
the federal law enforcement trading center
for allegedly exploding at a fleetsie bus driver
and smashing his phone.
Surce to say another male recruit
after hitting the bars
was caught barging into a female dorm
and hitting on the occupants.
Okay, you get drunk
and you're like, I want to go see
what the ladies are up to.
You shouldn't be doing that.
Best least the realm of understandable human behavior.
Another groped a woman in class.
Quote, it wasn't like, oops, I touched your boob, one source said,
nope, he went full on predator mode while he was doing defensive tactics training.
So they're grappling on a map, and he just starts molesting his fucking fellow trainee
in front of the instructors.
Yeah, right.
Well, you're basically putting out a casting call for, you know, people who are down to do, like,
inhuman monstrous stuff, you know, like for the, like for the job. So it's not that surprising that, you know, you get a bunch of monsters applying for it or whatever.
And that's the part. The reason the reason these like these long time cops who like, you know, aren't psychos or raising alarm about this is because like they're, they said they're found in the open book test. These are open book tests related to the Fourth Amendment and the Constitution. Right. They're not just worried about these people violating people's rights, but causing the death of the agency by being so.
outwardly lawless. If you can't pass an open book test
about the Constitution, you probably shouldn't be in the fucking
field. These people are hell of powerful.
They have like, they're like Judge Dredd out there.
They, they're superseding authority
over local police.
Like, they're nabbing whoever they want.
And if that guy will squeeze a co-workers'
titty in front of his bosses,
what is he going to do when he's alone with a fucking female
detainee? Right.
Yeah.
So, um, the numbers I was
referring to about how they're,
even if you don't fully trust everything in this story,
numbers to tell a similar tale. Since the recruitment campaign began in July, 584 recruits have
failed out of the academy as of December 1st, according to records reviewed by Daily Mail.
Over the same period, the figures show that 558 had graduated. So 584 kicked out 558 graduated.
So that's the half. Half of people that they supposedly vetted got into the academy flunked
out. They couldn't make it through the open book test and the Dean Kane also, of course.
yeah yeah not not good not a good look yeah so one young recruit a college grad who was seeking to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a deportation officer likened it to a circus quote my son called and told me that in the middle of class officers came in and removed two of his classmates for stolen valor the fathers hold the bailie mail referring to individuals who falsely claimed to a military service so two people were taken out of the same class for lying about the military service i just
I bet that fucking, the meeting was like, okay, so you both can't have killed bin Laden.
Right.
Well, again, that makes, I'm not at all surprised by that because that fit, that so perfectly fits the exact archetype guy that I imagine when I imagine someone who, like, wants to be an ice.
It's why when we started this off, I brought up Kyle Rittenhouse or whatever, but it's like that, that dude who, you know, like grew up, like, worshipping and idolizing, like, the military and law enforcement and all that stuff.
but also is a fat loser or whatever who can't hack it with any of those like can't you know couldn't hack it in the military or whatever or even as a cop and that type of thing but still desperately wants to be one of those guys so they you know bullshit they probably all a lot of them have the mall ninja gear and all that stuff and they walk around just knowing it most people probably assume hopefully that they are vets or whatever because they desperately wish they were so i'm not you know surprised by really any of that because i
They also, they're, like, mediocre and they're pissed about that, and they're on, like, a power trip and stuff.
And they just need to, like, fuck something up to feel like a badass type of thing.
And it's, you know, sucks.
Yeah.
I mean, actually, that was kind of an element in this next piece I wanted to talk about where this, this writer spent a couple days at a job fair where the Department of Homeland Security was hiring.
And ICE was one of the booze.
And one of the guys there was like, well, I was in the Army overseas, basically, but I never got to see any action.
So now I want to join ICE so I can use my learns.
basically never got to kill anybody in Afghanistan
somebody wants to do it in Tampa
so yeah
let me read here from this
this report is from a Department of Homeland Security
Job Fair at the Dulles Expo Center
in Chantilly, Virginia
so Border Patrol, Coast Guard
and Secret Service for all recruiting
but ICE was the main draw
fall where applicants stood in line
to submit their resumes for deportation officer
than for any other position on officer
on offer, sorry.
The recruiter, there's a contrast
here's why more people are sent up
and this is sort of the emblematic of the problem that we just talked about in the last
story.
The recruiter for the Federal Air Marshal Service told a crowd of people they shouldn't bother
applying if they were fat.
Quote,
nothing looks worse than a fat cop, she said.
She drank pink monster ultra Rosa and had multiple Dreamcatcher forearm tattoos.
I love this lady.
Hell yeah.
She told us not to apply if we couldn't do push-ups and sit-ups or if we were unprepared to
run one and a half miles.
Candidates who engaged in domestic abuse, quote,
But if you like to punch your lady, you should punt you, or if you like to punch your boyfriend, end quote, also need not apply, she said.
So you can sort of just imagine when she said that.
Yeah, just the whole line just shifting over to ice.
Yeah, shrinking or whatever.
Yeah.
Just like, well, not for me.
I like to hit my wife and I'm fat.
So like, what are you going to do?
So the last applicant I spoke with said he did not care much about the politics of ice.
What he was really interested in, he said, was parlaying his wages as a deportation.
officer into buying Airbnb.
Oh, my God.
Fucking kill me, dude.
My classmates came up
on the same environment as me, he said,
but now they're off posting photographs
of Lamborghinis on Instagram
standing on balconies of waterfront apartments.
Oh.
So I just got to do a few crimes against humanity
to step up my Instagram gang.
Yeah, we're so, as the kids say,
cooked.
We're so cooked, buddy.
My God.
We have, again, we have,
ways of doing this as a society. Ice has
trading, has standards for Harry. They're just ignoring them.
This guy should not be working for ICE.
You shouldn't be working at ICE. You can get a Lamborghini via an Airbnb Empire.
You can weed that guy out.
The prospect of travel excited this applicant and many others.
In fact, over and over the DHS agents at the fair emphasized how it was the best part
of their job. A longtime ICE agent said he had accompanied undocumented immigrants on
deportation flights to more than 50 countries
and stayed in numerous three and four-star
hotels.
So, yeah,
the job does
require zip-tying children,
but when you take them back to Tahiti,
man, or the beach is fucking sweet
when you drink a Mai-Tai on them.
Sure, yeah.
I'm not in Tahiti every weekend,
but somebody watches a lot of diners
drive-ins and dives in the Hilton Garden
in or whatever.
It can
get old sometimes, and
If I was doing that, if instead of doing that so that I could, you know, go up on stage and tell dick jokes for an hour, I was doing that instead to fucking, you know, tear families apart and disappear people to third world countries and stuff.
If that was the reason for my traveling, I think I'd probably get even more sick of it.
So, yeah, I don't, I don't buy that the travel is the best part.
But, well, I mean, actually, I mean, I guess it is because there's no other good part, you know, like there's no other good part.
you know like there's no best part of being in ice period uh if you're me but you know what i mean
it's not that great he's bullshitting about to travel is my fucking point i don't mean but again
we're talking about instagrams from tahiti and like you know uh costa rica uh venezuela
you know like from wherever some these people do um so like this part i never i never really
think about what of what a federal cop's life is like and then your level is like they have
especially after they passed the one big beautiful bill,
they have unlimited fucking budgets.
So all the money that could be spent helping people
is instead spent hurting people
and then caring for the emotions of the people
who hurt people because hurting people
does not feel good to most people.
And sometimes you can't sab those wounds
just with taking an Instagram on a beach in Tahiti.
Quote, well, back at the convention center
the next morning, a Border Patrol agent
was walking the agency's emotional support dog
around the conference perimeter.
Her name was Willow, her handler said,
and she was five years old.
She was giant soft with,
impeccable fur and had already flown to 16 different countries.
She belonged to a special docile German breed called the Leonberger, and her job was to confer
warmth to Border Patrol agents on the verge of committing suicide.
That's pretty, uh, pretty, that sounds like a pretty, one of the bestest boys right there.
It's a girl.
What a good girl.
Um, but that dog's still racist, though.
Parks is.
Barks at Brown, I don't, I don't trust this dog.
But yeah, it's, uh, if you're,
You know, again, if your job is, you know, so frequently leading people that do it to consider suicide, you know, to the point that you need a dedicated, don't kill yourself, dog, at the office, like, maybe reevaluate, you know, the job itself and the effect it has on people.
But it's funny, like the, this just reminded me that, there was that tweet once about somebody pointed out.
It's like, it's funny when you realize that, like, so many, like, American war movies are kind of like, like, Americans making movies about war where it's like, hey, look how bad we felt about, look how much it fucked us up, you know, bombing your country to bits or whatever.
You know what I mean?
Like, the people have destroyed your country.
Look how sad they are about it.
I don't know how that way.
That was fucking funny.
So I was like, okay, well, this must be like.
some isolated thing or this person this writer obviously has an agenda like even though even
though if they share my agenda on it like what type with a grain of salt or whatever so i was
like maybe it's a little bit fake it's one dog or whatever nope this whole fucking program this is
representing tony gonzalez earlier this year speaking on the house for the house representatives
successful program while providing second opportunity three year pilot program to provide more
support dogs like pearl u.s border patrols first therapy canine by acquiring and training
dogs through adoption at local animal shelter.
Okay.
They just cut veterans mental health care.
Mm-hmm.
But every Border Patrol agent gets emotional support.
Yeah, as soon as I said that a minute ago, I said that popped into my, but I just wanted to clarify, like, that's not the same.
I haven't PTSD because you got to ship the fucking Fallujah or whatever is not the same.
It's like signing up to be a Border Patrol agent and then later feeling like a dick about it, just everybody knows.
But, yeah, I feel, you know what?
I think they're, I think this is like, this is pupper washing.
That's what they're doing here.
This is like, like, everybody fucking loves dogs so much and everything.
And this is one of like humanizing elements that they go with with these agencies is to be like,
see, fucking, you know, like it softens, softens the image.
If you got Pearl walking around with their tongue out, making everybody feel better and stuff.
I mean, you know me.
Dude, this is my own personal biases here, but.
I'm not.
One of the Border Patrol agents
the job fair, I remember like, I didn't pull it,
but I remember reading, like,
it was telling the potential recruits
that their favorite part of their job
was riding a horse to the mountains.
And I was like,
that would probably be my favorite part of my job, too.
I would do that job and just pretend
I didn't see the migrants crossing.
Just wrap my horse around.
That'd be fucking dope.
So, like, the federal government,
I was like, is this like a trend here?
Yes, the federal government
is spending so much money on its dog cops.
here's a story back in May
a Border Patrol dog named Boo
was bitten by a rattlesnake
here to play this video of that
I'll tell you what's happening
they are landing a medevac
helicopter
to take a dog to the hospital
they cut all of her fucking health care
yeah
okay
see you're trying to bait me right now
Mark
if you fucking
You know, you know, pissing people off just because, you know, I'm sure there's plenty of people who can't stand the fucking Border Patrol who would be all for lifelighting, you know, an injured pupper, you know, God, God forbid you not do that.
But, yeah, we did the dog didn't voluntarily enlist.
Like, the dog, so I like, I, I, I have no problem to saving the dog's life.
Yeah.
I just think people should also get medicine.
Well, that, I know.
That's what I'm saying.
We, there was a, Burbank had a dog funeral recently for a cop dog.
A cop dog got killed in the line of duty.
And it was the most egregiously over the top fucking thing you've ever seen.
Like, just like, waves of cops from all around the L.A. area came in.
It was this whole big elaborate effect.
It looked like like a fucking head of state died or something or a king or whatever.
And it was like, I just, what, that, whatever's fine.
And, you know, what a hero dog.
But it's like you said, I was just telling Katie, I was like,
I don't think they'd do this for a human cop.
And I know they wouldn't do this for like a person killed by a human cop.
You know, or that type might fucking get, you know, like it's just, it's just.
I noticed where you're talking about it.
You're obviously right, because the cops did kill the suspect to kill the dog.
You're right.
Yeah.
No one knows that guy's name.
No one gives a fuck, you know, whatever.
Now, but also, like, what do you, a dog's bias?
you and you have a gun, what are you supposed to do?
You're supposed to let the dog bite you?
You're not, because you can't, the dog, you can't
surrender to the dog. Right.
The dog doesn't know to stop biting you until someone tells it to.
Right. Yeah. It's a real no-one situation
when you're being attacked by a police dog, is my point.
So,
one of those immigration thing, like, if you had fallen in this
Carolyn Levitt's fucking sister-in-law, a brother's baby mama thing,
No, no, I have not.
Carolyn Leavitt has a brother named Michael, I believe.
Michael has an 11-year-old son with a woman named Bruno Fonara, who was born in Brazil, but has been here since she was six years old.
She had legal status under DACA, not really sure where it's at right now, because they're fucking not everyone's legal status.
To the point where people are getting arrested at their swearing-in ceremonies after going through every step to be citizens.
Bruna got NAD by ICE last week
And no one knows how or why
But it certainly looks like Carolyn
Who is the son's godmother
Had some say in helping her brother solve a cussie dispute
By getting her snatched up by ice
I thought this was going in a different direction
At first I thought there's going to be like highlighting some hypocrisy thing
Because she that I should have known better
her. Like, in my head, I thought it was going to be pointing out. It's like, oh, yeah, you're disappearing all these people, but the one that's in your family is okay. But it makes more sense that they disappeared. She disappeared her nephews. You said kids, godmother, that's her nephew, right? Her brother's disappeared her nephew's mom, you know, because her brother got, you know, pulled some strings or something because he was pissed off at her and they were fucking splitting up or whatnot.
Like, bureaucracy's fuck up all the time. So part, like, it could have been the ice just.
napped her separately, or could have been Michael called the cop, call ICE on her, because he's
mad at about it. He threatened to get, he threatened to have her deported in other like
custody dispute hearings and stuff. Right. Yeah, it's not like you need to, like,
have access to any real leverage of power to get people deported right now, right? Like,
anybody, anybody could call one in pretty much. They're fucking chomping at the bit, so.
No, but it does, it does make them look bad. And like, the, the, the, the, the response is
pretty telling the White House and Department of Homeland Security said, said, uh, said her arrest was
just because she's a criminal. But as far as you can tell, she doesn't have any
her to criminal record. So the other reason, like, they would, like, the only person in
position knows she's criminal is Carolyn for shoplifting from, the shoplifting makeup
with her when they were teenagers or whatever. Like, there's no other, there's no other person
who would know she's a criminal involved in this whole scenario, except for Michael and
Carolyn. Since the arrest, the White House has portrayed Ferreira as an absent mother who
has not involved in Michael Levitt's or their son's lives. However, court records and family
photos obtained by the post paid a different picture. So they start saying all this stuff that
isn't true. And the Washington Post reports
it out, says, well, according to court filing, like, here's
a bunch of pictures from holidays where
she is with you and the
son, Michael.
So then Michael gets, goes to all fake
news on this shit and says, the post has tried to use this whole
situation to push a narrative to smear me.
Michael wrote to the post in the text message.
I may quote here, for his legal status had been a long
been a point of contention in a relationship with Michael
Levitt. After they broke up, she noted in court records, like I said
before, that he had previously threatened to try
and get her deported.
Over the past decade, several judges have ordered the couple to share custody and resolve their differences outside of court, according to the report.
Outside of court, you say, what's more outside of court than sending some extra constitutional goons to snatch my fucking baby mother?
Like, these people, man, like, I'm not sure where Carolyn's at with this stuff, but let's presume, let's be human here and give her a little bit of grace and say that, like, she does love her nephew.
you.
This is a real, look what they make you give kind of fucking situation.
Because, like, there are three possibilities here.
Michael called ICE.
Carolyn called ICE.
I stumbled on Bruton on their own.
And Carolyn can't help her because of the optics.
Right.
Okay.
I was about to say, yeah.
Right.
They generally don't care too much about optics.
But in this case, the optics have to do with, it's a, you know, it's a brown person that
you'd be helping.
specifically like they don't give a fuck about like cronyism and favoritism and that type of thing you're like generally but i can see how in this case you might be like oh i can't do that it can't be shown you know like showing kindness to you know an immigrant who came here at the age of six um but yeah i just like it's like i don't know where it's do that i mean like they lie so much you can never know where they're at with it but like it it's utterly tragic situation this kid's gonna lose his mother
because like the only white people that can help with them the only people that can help through the immigration system are white although bruna is out on bond right now her case might quietly disappear and we'll never hear about it again because she doesn't want her nephew to be without a mother but what about all the other nephews are having to go without their mothers um i just like i can't stomach the other fucking hypocrisy of this shit where like people are like people are fucking up their paperwork or ignoring it the same way that elon did the milania did that all these fucking people did all their fucking mail order brides is like god.
Like, it's, it drives me insane.
All right.
Well, we'll close out, I guess, with this one for you.
Another D-D. Donald Trump for realizing at this late date that a lot of Democrats' objection to his corruption was that they weren't getting a cut.
Henry Quayar and his wife who were charged with bribery.
What's their response?
Well, Congressman Quayar is a beloved member of the House of Representatives, love in his community, particularly in Laredo.
I've had the opportunity to spend time with him down in Laredo in South Texas.
I look forward to that moving forward.
Listen, the reality is this indictment was very thin to begin with, in my view.
The charges were eventually going to be dismissed, if not at the trial court level by the Supreme Court,
as they've repeatedly done in instances just like this.
So just to follow up on that, do you agree with the president's pardon here?
Do you think that that was a good thing, then?
I don't know why the president decided to do this.
I think the outcome was exactly the right outcome.
All right.
First of all, that's the most outraged I've heard Hakeem Jeffriesby
in a long time that Henry Quair were charged with corruption.
He raised his voice.
Well, that's what I heard him raise his voice.
Hakeem is correct that the Supreme Court has loosened bribery laws
and public corruption laws that convicting Quayar was probably going to be difficult.
What he neglects to mention is that that is fucking.
bad
right
yeah
he seems to think
that's good
yeah
right
and I just
remind
even like even
Trump just
and I
what who knows
why he fucking
did it
but even Trump
like pardoning
that guy
whatever
it's funny
it's like
because they just
hate Democrats
want them all
to be killed
or whatever
it's like
but the ones
who take bribes
I mean
they're you know
they're cool
it's like
it just seems
to point out
that the like
being corrupt
part
is the important
part
and that's the
part
part that puts you on the same team, you know.
Bro, I mean, I've said it before, like, that Trump was objectively pro-corruption, and
it made you laugh, because I guess it is a joke, but it's not, it's really his defining
political trade is he thinks corruption is good.
Right.
He's like, so the foreign corrupt practices act basically just makes it illegal to pay bribes
to put to officials and companies in other countries for contracts.
And he ranted about it, wanted to overturn it when he ran for office the first time and
just stopped talking about it because everyone, you know, told us a bad look.
But when immediately when he took office again this time, he initially,
immediately instituted a six-month pause on enforcement of the Foreign Crout Practices Act.
He basically just thinks that everybody bribes, and it's woke and gay to pretend that you don't bribe.
Right.
You're basically virtue signaling if you appear to have integrity.
So to go back to what Quayar was accused of doing, the indictment said that nearly $600,000 in bribes from Azerbaijan and a Mexican commercial bank was laundered through shell companies owned by Quayar's wife from December 2014.
in November of 2021.
So Quair are co-chairs
a congressional Azerbaijan caucus.
So he's just a guy from South Texas
who is an innocent love for Azerbaijan.
As many of us do.
After Quair's indictment,
two political advisors he worked with pleaded
guilty to charges.
They had conspired with Quair
to longer more than 200 grand
and bribes from a Mexican bank.
So I need to ask you, Hakeem,
if Quare is innocent,
why did two guys plead guilty to
conspiring with him.
Right.
Yeah.
How can you fucking run against corruption when you just, you utterly think this stuff
is cool?
Like, where are the people I vote for if I want, like, you know,
buses to not to work because the tires have been stolen off of them?
Where's that party?
Mm-hmm.
Right?
So, uh, so, well, crazy, this is a funny part of this.
Quar is an indictment accused of accepting money from a Mexican bank in exchange for
quote, influence in the Treasury Department to work around anti-money laundering policy
that threatened the bank's interest.
I guess they were correct that the money laundering policy of the federal government
did, you know, fuck with the bank's business practices and the cartels
because they did get caught laundering money to Henry Quayor to fight the laundering.
To fight against the, that fucking thing is so goddamn baffling.
And then Trump pardons him and immediately shits all over Quare because he said he wasn't going to switch parties.
Right.
well yeah it's another insight into how he genuinely thinks about things you know what I mean
he's like I scratch your back you know what that means right we all get bribes we get bribes
you got bribes looked you got caught that's a shame I can take care of you but you know what
that means now you owe me now I own you all that you know that's how that's what his expectations
are for everything yeah everything like the Trump just pardoned a guy who was indicted by
his own justice department in july before he even fucking went to trial so he gets a guy
named Tim Lewike, what he did was
he was accused of orchestrating a conspiracy to
rig the bidding process for an arena at
at UT Austin, I think.
Because you're allowed to scam the woke
and yes, UT Austin qualifies.
But like, this opens a whole new field of bribery.
You can charge people
just to make them bribe
you to get a pardon.
Right. Yeah, right.
And I just want to throw out some numbers here
about total pardons. I don't personally think
the idea of pardons are great and good.
Some people, even if they've committed a crime, if they've shown contrition,
deserve to be able to be able to die at home after they've gotten old and been sorry their whole odds, right?
George W. Parton, 189 people in eight years.
Obama, 212 in eight years.
Trump won 144 in four years.
Biden did 80 in four years.
Trump, too, after less than a year, over 1,500 people.
That's crazy, man.
Why is it so much more than his first?
He's been the president before.
Why, you know, him being so much more than any other president.
is one thing, but him being so much more than his own previous administration or whatever
is, I mean, I guess that's true of a lot of things, right?
It's like he just learned from the first time around that it's like he can just,
there are no real guardrails and he can just do whatever the fuck he wants this time, right?
So he's not as rained in on anything as he was.
The first one of the reasons why everything is so fucking nuts.
Right.
And a lot of those 1500 were like blanket partons for everybody involved in January 6th
where they just arrested the pipe bomber.
And he, he, his lawyers are argued to the blanket apart, the blanket partens
apply to him.
Even though he hadn't been arrested yet.
So let's see if that works.
So, like, when I say, like, the pardon, this is not how pardoners are supposed to work.
Like, all the people is pardoning, very, like, not every single one of them is like,
I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
And I'm not, I'm being very little about this.
I'm going to quote here, New Jersey man whose fraud conviction was commuted of Trump,
is back in prison for another fraud conviction.
He, like, this guy, he just got sentenced again.
His name is Michael Schip.
No, sorry, the judge is Michael Schiff.
The guy's name is Eli Weinstein.
The judge ruled that Weinstein must pay his $45 million in restitution immediately.
They're trying to do the restitution immediately because they know Trump's going to fucking pardon him again.
He's back in prison for fraud for being commuted for fraud.
It's the third time he's been convicted in a New Jersey federal court for defrauding investors.
The first case involved the real estate ponds scheme.
The second stem from additional wire fraud he committed while on pretrial release.
I just want to say this.
After this guy, after Weinstein's pardoned, after his third or fourth,
the lost account of fucking fraud conviction for hundreds of millions of dollars,
if you get defrauded again, you deserve it.
You're kind of asking for it, yeah.
Yes.
Do not give this man money.
All right.
It's just a shame because, you know, if you and I,
while these people who, like, openly brag about doing the shit that they do,
get pardoned for it,
and then, you know, when we get jailed for terrorism, uh, eventually,
right, they're pardoning so many people.
And we're not terrorists.
It just seems unfair, you know.
Dude, 500 people less than a year and they're ramping up exponentially.
By this time of next year, roughly each American will have gotten a pardon from Donald Trump.
We might get pardoned by auto penned by accident.
Right.
So there we go.
All right.
