Agents with the FBI’s elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown University in December because there was no FBI plane available to take them to Rhode Island, according to three sources and a whistleblower’s account newly provided to Congress.
FBI Director Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI’s two available jets and had given an order to hold the other for another team that would not normally respond to the scene, according to the whistleblower and the sources. The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm to reach the university in Providence, Rhode Island, by 9 o’clock the next morning, according to the whistleblower’s account…
An FBI spokesperson told MS NOW Tuesday he disputed the allegation that there were delays because of the director’s travels but said he would check into the matter more deeply to gather information.
Look into history. A whole lot of what we view as “normal” for the American Democracy was defined post 1880. Owning a gun was kind of scandalous up until then. Immigration was just the norm until then. The conservatives have lied and twisted the intent of the founders in every direction they could, except for truthful.
The founders had a bunch of other issues we don’t have to deal with today. Did they do everything correctly? Hell no. If they did we wouldn’t be in this mess. They did what they could when they could, which was frequently not anywhere close to enough, but all of them are remembered because they weren’t radicals. My great-great-great-great-Grandfather was named Reverend David Rice. He owned 2/3 of the Virginia Colony, or basically most of Virginia. He sold it off to support his friends Ben, Tom, and Jim. That would be Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. He raised around 1.5 million pounds of silver, or around 7 million British Pounds at the time, and gave it to found The US Army and US Navy. No history book covers him, because if an unrepentant slaver walked on his land, he shot or hung them. He was “normal” enough to work with slavers that were abolitionists. It took a lot of internal family fighting for his father to free all of their slaves in 1730, when he was but a teen. By 1776, he chose a side and Britain could burn for all he cared. The shepards tend their communities in every age.
Owning a gun was scandalous pre 1880? The previous 80 years had been nonstop violence as people moved to carve out the western half of the country. Also as a means of providing food etc. I’m pretty sure the guns were extremely common.
If you were on the frontier it was expected. If you were trying to carry in towns or cities you’d get arrested. Also since the milita were better organized, most of the members didn’t want to store weapons in their own homes.
It’s very much bipartisan.
As I said. The conservatives. There isn’t a non conservative party in the US, especially after the Clintons got done reforming the DNC.
You can try to “both parties the same,” this shit, but history won’t back you up. It has always been the far right pushing individual, rather than trained militia, ownership of guns, as well as pushing gun control while screaming that the more moderate conservatives were going to do what they were already doing.
Seems to be a pattern of projection there.
Lol. Gun control got pushed when the Black Panthers advocated for legal possession, afaik.
That’s when it got passed in California. Conservatives managed some gun control laws in a lot of other states prior and after that. The rich funded movement started getting pushed for as far back as The Business Plot. Again, please read your history. The rich literally declared war on the poor in Congress in the 1920s.
Wilson is arguably tied with Jackson for most damaging president to the US ever in the history of the US. And Jackson is barely hanging in there with the worst, deepest (by percentage of the GDP, not raw dollar amounts), longest depression in US history, caused partially, but it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, by paying off the entirety of the national debt, and The Trail of Tears.
If you’re going that far, may as well start with Washington, as I said. And yes, it’s both sides.
Then you literally can’t start with Washington, as he was a vocal no party candidate, literally not officially running for office, and the last thing he said as the POTUS, while there were people begging him to NOT step down, was, “I sincerely hope and pray that The United States never engages in partisan politics, for if we do it will lead to the downfall of this potentially great democracy.”
Jefferson and Madison would also be questionable there since they were actively pushing for more rights for the citizenry. Jefferson actively trying to prevent the “tyranny of ancestors,” despite his questionable views, he failed but he tried. Madison meanwhile protested the “tyranny of the rich, privileged, and pirates.” Madison just HATED pirates, and also had some questionable views.
Read your history. You have harmed yourself by not doing so.
Ah, Jefferson the slave owner who regularly raped his houseslave? Madison? I’m not sure who you think you’re educating, or what Whitewashed history you’d have me read, but please, do continue. 😂
Yes, show your historical ignorance by framing people with your current understanding of morality. Jefferson was an abolishonist, or my ancestor would have lynched or shot him. Madison as well. Same for Washington, as I understand, though he never actually met my ancestor.
Try reading and understanding history. You are just showing that you are an uneducated reactionary authoritarian.
