I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I'd just be "following up on possible leads" for a while.

Honestly, for an FBI agent, it's insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official's private business. They have more important things to do.

And hasn't fElon already gone back to "save" the company, so he's not even at DOGE anymore?

If terrorism now means burning cars, what's the word for killing people to terrorize?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 4 points 34 minutes ago

Depends on how much you pay the president beforehand.

Getting rid of the dept of ed, cracking down on tesla keying.

Won't someone think about the cars!?

Tis a silly fascist country

[–] _core@sh.itjust.works 29 points 6 hours ago

What a waste of resources

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 30 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Fascism is just ultra capitalism in a trenchcoat wielding a flamethrower!

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 37 minutes ago

...Or a chainsaw

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

SVU, special tesla victim unit. dundun.

What a bunch of clowns.

“A task force”

I knew Daredevil Born Again was going to touch on some of the same issues, but holy crap it predicted the future.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

Because they used the term "task force"?

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 34 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Is it illegal to Nelson laugh while pointing at swasticar enjoyers and calling them dorks?

No? Then this is all a waste of time. I shall continue doing so unabated.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 16 points 10 hours ago

These days you don't need to be committing a crime to get arrested. You just need to be annoying the wrong people.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 44 points 17 hours ago

Good! We're FINALLY Solving REAL PROBLEMS!

-This is LITERALLY What Conservatives think while CHILDREN ARE GUNNED DOWN IN SCHOOL, SHELVES ARE EMPTY OF GOODS, 401KS TANK AND ICE IS ALLOWED TO ENTER HOMES AND DEPORT PEOPLE WITHOUT WARRANTS OR CAUSE!

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 148 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The police are there to protect the business interests of the richest man in the world.

They call regular people “terrorists” for daring to stand up to fascism in any small way.

They start a manhunt for the murder of the CEO of a health insurance company while ignoring the murders of countless regular people every day.

Private property is protected, while it’s been made illegal to be homeless.

What a sick and decrepit society.

[–] falynns@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Police aren't here for for the common citizen, they're for sale to the highest bidder like everything else in this shit hole of United States of Capitalism. Fuck the police. ACAB.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 208 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

That seems like a huge inefficiency, DOGE should eliminate it.

Uh oh, it sounds like they want us to be inclusive of all cars.

The domestic terrorist is in the White House.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 64 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Don't be ridiculous. As the Commander in Chief of the United States he's also an international terrorist

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 10 points 10 hours ago

“both foreign and domestic” i guess is the repurposed phrase aye?

But is he actually in the White House? I've seen a lot of pictures of him golfing...

I thought Elon was behind this since Tesla's aren't selling well. They should start from there.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 36 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There’s a website to track elons plane.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

What he gets really irritated about is the fact that you have to file a flight plan and that flight plan has to be public, because obviously otherwise it wouldn't work.

So anyone at any time can track his plane, and no matter how rich he is, there is fuck all he can do about it

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He could just take another form of transportation. There is no public records of cars driven or train tickets purchased.

He could even fly with normal airlines so there would be no public record of his flight.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 minutes ago

Or.. he could take one of his self driving cars.

[–] Binky@lemmy.sdf.org 146 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

This really does illustrate the idea that police aren’t there to “serve and protect.” They are there to keep the common people in line so that the rich can stay safe.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

To serve^(the government) and keep^(the population) in check

[–] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 74 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.

Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:

we didn't start the fire

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (4 children)

How thin does that metal paneling have to be to wilt due to brief exposure to fire?

The Cybertruck makes vinyl home siding look more durable.
