More or less sums it up:

On Monday afternoon, Trump told reporters it was a “350-foot slit from one end to the other.”

“I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently,” he said.

When a reporter asked to see photos, Trump said, “You’ll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the parks department, call the Department of Interior.”

The National Park Service, U.S. Park Police and Interior Department did not immediately respond to requests from NBC News.

I’ll be watching to see how quickly the cases against these ‘vandals’ fall apart.

Imagine being arrested and charged with a felony because a geriatric narcissist is too far gone to admit his cronies did a shit job:

One man arrested was David Hearn, 67, of Bethesda, Maryland, who owned a company that made composite used to build watercraft. He said he stopped by the pool during his 64-mile bike ride Friday to see what was going on.

Hearn, a former Olympic canoe racer, told The Associated Press that he reached into the pool because he wanted to examine the peeling new coating. He said he briefly touched a chunk that was still attached to the side of the pool, then let go shortly after a park worker told him to.

But, Hearn said, he was then detained by National Guard troops and Park Police for five hours before being released Friday night.

I really wouldn’t care if people were shrugging. It’s the gleeful celebration that’s getting to me.

The same logic used by people who murder abortion doctors, nice. I’m sure this guy’s eight year old son deserved it, too. Again–seek help.

OK. So some asshole shoots up a local politician’s house, while he and his eight year old son are inside. Something that:

• Has only increased support for said politician
• Has strengthened his resolve to support said data center
• Will inevitably be used as evidence that anti-AI people are nuts
• Could easily have ended in the murder of a child, because, again, he was in the house this person indiscriminately fired into

And the reaction here is ‘good?’

If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized. Get help before you hurt someone.

It’s a story because the FBI just fired the agents involved in that investigation, per the article. Patel literally firing people for investigating him.

The post title is misleading, and I think looking at the article makes it a lot clearer what is happening and why:

Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be “no more prayer” in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.

A federal representative delivered the news to a huddle of faith leaders and activists standing outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility Friday, speaking after faith leaders were denied entry to the building for the third time Friday.

In other words, prayer is being used as a form of protest outside the Broadview ICE facility. The solution, if you’re the US government, apparently, is to ban prayer!
