Not a chance - he isn't that stupid. If he did that and was caught he would likely instantly lose 90%+ of his supporters for good.

If it was a sting operation that would be different, but if he pulled a stunt for publicity it would be over for him.

I don't think he was actually "on the grounds" although the area on the outside of the perimeter fence (where he was spotted) was probably owned by the course. He was outside of the fence as I understand it.

What I don't get is why would the club allow vegetation growth outside of their perimeter - allowing people to conceal themselves? Even local police recommend that people clear bushes away from areas where a burglar could conceal themselves while trying to get into your house.

If they did, expect an arrest in a week or 2. I'm sure whoever is legitimately investigating this (as opposed to "investigating") would want to follow their movements and communications to see who they reach out to.

I had to open X, bring up the post, click in the 1st captured page, put on my damn reading glasses - only to see the letterhead was from the US House. You are correct.

Since they sent a letter at the beginning this time, will they need to send another strongly-worded letter when nobody does anything or even cares?

OP, please let us know in the title when the "officially under investigation" is not actually something substantial.

By the way - there are only 9 scheduled days the House is in session until Election Day (Nov 5), and then just 20 more days the rest of the year. That will be filled with the same old fiscal year budget/Continuing Resolution crap (with threats of a shutdown). The House can't even get the J13 shooter autopsy info from 2 months ago, and that committee is actually bipartisan.

This will go nowhere. Thanks OP for trying though. It actually should mean something, but unless we clean house and elect 534 new people it won't.

People need to realize something they may have never thought of. Years ago I worked at the Pentagon and had access to a couple of the Ops Centers. For those of you that may understand this, those Ops Centers track a bunch of things, one of which is NEACP (or kneecap). Anyone in the Ops Center could see where NEACP was at any particular time. I didn't have a schedule and wasn't privy to future movements but could certainly see it in real-time. I did have the clearance required to be there and see anything that was going on, but that wasn't my mission.

I would guess the same could absolutely happen in this case. A list exists of everyone that would have access to the areas where this type of information would be discussed or disseminated. It would certainly be easy to have a finite list of suspects to investigate if they actually wanted to.

The Sheriff said that it was an AK-47-STYLE weapon. I heard someone else said it may have been an SKS.

Edited for a typo. And they confirmed (in the briefing) the rifle was an SKS.

"Management" will know. If we had any agencies that weren't compromised or weaponized they would certainly start the investigation there. Unfortunately we have zero agencies that aren't corrupt.

I want to point out that not all msgs were meant for us. This one could be for us, for Q-related military teams, or even for govt weasels that could be on the fence.

Doubt that very much. He is on the assassination committee and is probably trying to get ahead of what the republicans put out (since they control the House).

My trash company doesn't even pretend - we only have trash cans and no blue recycle boxes.

Your daughter sounds like she will do well.

There is an old saying that covers this perfectly, albeit a little crudely...

"You don't shit where you eat."

For anyone unfamiliar with the saying, here's what Brave AI says about it:

Separate Work and Habits Idiomatic Expression: “You don’t shit where you eat”

Meaning: This phrase advises against engaging in troublesome or dubious behavior in a place where one regularly finds oneself, as it may invite undesired consequences. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clear distinction between personal and professional relationships, or between one’s private and public life.

Alternative Phrases:

“Don’t dip your pen in the company ink” (meaning not to engage in romantic relationships with coworkers) “It’s an ill bird that fouls its own nest” (a more poetic way of saying the same thing) “Don’t shit in your own nest” (a variation of the original phrase) “Don’t shit on your own doorstep” (another variation)

Religion has been a part of the school curriculum since the beginning of the USA. Anyone who objects should create a secular school.

See how that works?

My favorite thing they taught me in sex ed was that a woman could keep from getting pregnant if she just took one aspirin and held it firmly between her knees.

Evangelicals are known for this. They like to say a candidate is not "pro-life enough" if they aren't 100% against all abortion (and most recently IVF), and they stay home.

I'll never understand that. I guess they don't think about what the other side is for (and will do) - but as long as they can virtue signal then they don't seem to care.

Here is a recent example of this, and I know it's Newsweek so keep that in mind. It does however illustrate what I'm talking about.

They can start by working with local Sheriffs and jails/prisons. We know which current and former prisoners are here illegally so that would be low-hanging fruit. There are also a ton of them in hotels and other holding areas across the country. Get them too. Then go to every Home Depot and Lowes and get all of them hanging out waiting for jobs. You are probably around 1 million at that point - a goof start.

I tried it a few times while on vacation years ago in Amsterdam. While it did make me paranoid that the cops coming in to check on the hash bars were going to arrest me (they weren't) it did make my back fell better than it has since I was a child. It also somehow opened up my ear canal or did something else that allowed me to hear things far better than I've been able to since I joined the Air Force at 17 years old. A few decades of working in data centers finished that job.

Honestly if I didn't tend to have jobs that require clearances or drug tests I would use it fairly regularly for back and neck pain. I've had a couple of surgeries on my spine and also have gout (be careful if you go full carnivore).
