Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency staffers used police and private security to forcefully take over the U.S. Institute of Peace on Monday.The USIP, an independent nonprofit founded by Congress, had its president, Greg Moose, and its board fired last week by the Trump administration. The Associated Press reported that DOGE workers on Monday had law enforcement escort them into USIP, which is not located in a federal building, after previously being denied access.“DOGE just came into the building—they’re inside the building—they’re bringing the F.B.I. and brought a bunch of D.C. police,” USIP lawyer Sophia Lin told The New York Times as she and other staff members were forced out of the building.“What has happened here today is an illegal takeover by elements of the executive branch of a private nonprofit,” Moose told reporters. “It was very clear that there was a desire on the part of the administration to dismantle a lot of what we call foreign assistance, and we are part of that family.”It’s business as usual from the White House’s perspective.Due to USIP staff’s noncompliance with Trump’s order, “11 board members were lawfully removed, and remaining board members appointed Kenneth Jackson acting president,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said. “Rogue bureaucrats will not be allowed to hold agencies hostage. The Trump administration will enforce the president’s executive authority and ensure his agencies remain accountable to the American people.”>https://newrepublic.com/post/192854/elon-musk-doge-police-independent-nonprofit-usip
>>1393205 (Cont)The privately operated USIP works to maintain U.S. diplomacy abroad, and its staff was doing all they could do to emphasize that before the DOGE break-in. “I can’t imagine how our work could align more perfectly with the goals that he has outlined: keeping us out of foreign wars, resolving conflicts before they drag us into those kinds of conflicts,” Moose noted. Musk seems to disagree.

>>1393362You do realize even if it is, it's independent from the executive branch and thus Musk/Trump had no legal ability to do this?
>>1393364Laws don't matter anymore. We're shredding the Constitution and destroying the USA to own the libs. It's so epic and based!
>>1393205FBI?FBI gets involved to investigate federal crimes. USIP is fucked.
this is why TROs don't matter. Courts can order Trump and DOGE to cease and desist, but who's going to enforce that? Virtually everyone who wears a uniform or a badge and carries a weapon is siding with them. Not only that, they have been waiting for a chance just like this to really bash some heads.
>>1393370Actually the police overreaction to the January 6th protest prove that the jack booted authoritarian thugs in law enforcement are on the side of the left
>>1393367probably there to witness DOGE and Musk's ferderal crimes against USIP
>>1393373Lmao, ok crazy person, I'm sure that's why doge wanted to bring the FBI with them
>>1393372>Gets 4 years for breaking into the capitol while an election is being certifiedThey should've been tried for treason. if anything they went easy on them.
>>1393367Yeah that's the problem. DOGE is using the FBI for the sake of breaking into independent nonprofits. Literally using resources that are supposed to be for investigating federal crimes to harass employees and illegally take over institutions.
>>1393394NTA>left-wingers try to storm the white house to kill trump in may 30th 2020>burn down a guard station, set fire to a church, molotov several police and secret service, only stopped because national guard was there >only one guy gets charged with a crime ... for vandalismI'm sorry, who went easy on who?

>>1393408>>1393401Good posts
>>1393408Oh yeah, the church where Trump then had protestors cleared from tear gas so he could take a photo op where he called for martial law. All against the wishes of the actual clergy and volunteers there. Thanks for reminding me.
>>1393206Well we certainly don't need that anymore.
>>1393418Yeah that justifies all the arsons and multiple buildings being set on fire - which nobody was charged for by the way. Tell me more how the government went easy on the Jan 6th crowd.
>>1393425you love lying huh
>>1393430https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/24-085.pdfTell me what I lied about.
>>1393431you lie about everything faggot, that's literally your job
>>1393433Specifically. Here let me help you step by step:Were multiple buildings set on fire at the white house protest in 2020 - including a church? Yes or no.
>>1393425>which nobody was charged for by the way.Interesting how that's not true.>https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/update-protest-related-arrests-violence-district-columbia
>>1393435i don't engage faggots, you and i both know what you lied about and you can play mental gymnastics all you want but i just want to remind you that you're a faggot that nobody likes
>>1393435They were, and people got charged for it.Now please explain how it's normal for people to get a trespassing charge and only four years for trying to prevent the certification of an election by force.
>>1393436Look at the dates you fucking retard.>hese cases include Brennan Sermon, who was charged with assaulting a police officer who was responding to assist officers protecting Senator Rand Paul on August 28, 2020August... When did the protest at the white house end again? June 6th? Does June come before August, or did that get changed to after?>six people who were charged for their role in inciting violence and destroying federal monuments in Lafayette Square on June 22, 2020So again after the riot.>Additionally, an individual who defaced the Lincoln Monument on May 30, 2020, was criminally charged with Destruction of Government Property.Yeah the one guy I mentioned at the beginning who got charged for vandalism. Not one person charged for any of the arsons "between May 29 and June 6, 2020".>>1393437>i don't engage faggotslol you don't engage at all. All you do is talk shit.
>>1393441no one cares faggot. stop posting and get a real job
>>1393438>They were, and people got charged for it.Who? Give me their names. I'll look them up right now. >Now please explain how it's normal for people to get a trespassing charge and only four years for trying to prevent the certification of an election by force.I'll answer that question in a second, but first please explain how almost two thousand people got arrested for doing a fraction of what the left has been doing for years - trespassing AND vandalism AND arson - and yet not only does the right get charged for it, they also get insurrection charges slapped on. Obviously it's only okay when you do it.Now where we? >and only four years for trying to prevent the certification of an election by force.Probably because the overwhelming majority were only trespassing and vandalizing without an actual plan to overthrow the country or destroy democracy? But hey don't take my word for it, ask the FBI:https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/51440/fbi-confirms-there-was-no-insurrection-on-jan-6/
>>1393446your entire life is a bad joke
>>1393438>Now please explain how it's normal for people to get a trespassing charge and only four years for trying to prevent the certification of an election by force.It's not normal. It's actually unusual.Trump protestors did the same thing in 2016 during Trump's certification. Nobody called it an insurrection.
>>1393450trump protesters murdered police and shit on the floor of the capitol in 2016? i think you're lying again shill anon
>>1393451They rioted in DC and barged into the capitol building during certification. They had to be physically escorted out. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7BOtENV5IAThe "it wuz an insurrection" shit was a contrivance created by the media. Not anything factual.Compare and contrast that to BLM rioters burning down churches, seizing state territory and the media calling Trump "bunker boy" because he had to flee to safety.
>>1393453so i'm right. thanks for admitting that tacitly faggot
>>1393451>i think you're lying again shill anonlol he thinks I'm you >>1393450 anon. I wouldn't even bother with him. He never provides an argument beyond "DURR UR GHEY!" He's the same retard who only posts to tell someone they're not American.
>>1393457Yeah I know who he is. He's done this for nearly a year now.He gets angry whenever someone contradicts state media and then randomly accuses others of not being American. Despite literally never using proper punctuation.
>>1393457>>1393459>>1393457do you think posting in different cases makes you a different person, stupid faggot
>>1393458There's only six of us on this stupid fucking board and you still can't tell between us.
>>1393461you can't even respond to a real post
>>1393456You're not right, retard. Every single comparison you faggots make between [Current Thing] and J6 immediately fall apart because the state obviously favors democratic retardation.They tried to assassinate the president three separate times, but you faggots keep acting like shitting on Pelosi's desk was worse.
>>1393464>changes the subjectso i'm right. you should study english more so you can win an argument with me. seriously, i'm not even trying at all
>>1393453Yeah this isn't physically breaking into the capitol to the point the only thing between them and the reps was a barricade where the one retard who tried breaching it got shot dead.
>>1393438Oh anon-kun, I'm still waiting on the names of people who were charged. Y'know for the May 30th riots, and not that slick shit you pulled with people months after the riots were done. Did you find those names yet?
>>1393472you're waiting for your shift to end so you don't get called a faggot over and over. does it make you cry?
>>1393474Well I guess he hasn't found them yet... Since they don't exist. Oh well.
>>1393480have fun dying alone faggot. girls don't date shills
>>1393441>>1393472Hey, retard. People weren't arrested immediately on January 20th either. Surprisingly when someone flees the scene before the cops can come in, they don't magically get teleported to a jail cell.
>>1393483> People weren't arrested immediately on January 20th either. Bro you are actually retarded.
>>1393487you shouldn't call anyone bro, nobody likes you. nta
>>1393483>Hey, retard. People weren't arrested immediately on January 20th either.lol I think you meant Jan 6th Anon. Either way, those people were still arrested for the things they did on X day... Please explain to me what Brennan Sermon has to do with the May 30th riots? Also those people on June 22, 2020 were trying to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson... Which, again, has fuck-all to do with the May 30th riots.... lmao so what point do you think you're trying to make here?Can you just show me one person - just ONE - who was charged with arson committed at the White House between May 29 and June 6, 2020? Just one. That's all I'm asking.Otherwise you can shut the fuck up forever about how easy Jan 6ers got off.
>>1393489You will never be a woman.
>>1393503you will never stop bringing up your fetish
>>1393494>Also those people on June 22, 2020 were trying to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson... Which, again, has fuck-all to do with the May 30th riots.... lmao so what point do you think you're trying to make here?Same overall riots you absolute retard.
>>1393506>Same overall riots you absolute retard.Yeah I'm talking about a specific riot, you absolute retard. I know democrats riot a lot - like holy shit, there's a lot of riots in a ten year period - but occasionally there's enough of a pause between setting fires that we can establish a timeline.
>>1393511>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests_in_Washington,_D.C.#June_23Literally filed under the same incident on wikipedia. The irony is most of the incidents you mentioned didn't happen on may 30th; the church fire was the 31st for example.
>>1393527>The irony is most of the incidents you mentioned didn't happen on may 30th; the church fire was the 31st for example.Which is why I specified "between May 29 and June 6, 2020", which is a quote taken from the IG report I gave earlier... Funny how they were able to narrow it down to a specific location and date, yet ironically you want to include additional arsons and vandalism from other events... It's a bold strategy, Cotton.
>>1393511>I know democrats riot a lot - like holy shit, there's a lot of riots in a ten year period - but occasionally there's enough of a pause between setting fires that we can establish a timeline.Kek. Made me chuckle because it's true
>>1393205This is so fucking illegal.
>>1393696>waaaah my illegal deepstate slush fund is getting audited!You lost. Cope some more.
>>1393726Even if this was an audit this is out of their jurisdiction. And it's not an audit, they just illegally fired all the workers and forcibly seized their headquarters.
>>1393726Imagine being proud of voting for a fascist self-coup...You still won't get laid anon.
>>1393205You ever notice how righties keep forcing a Jan 6/2020 riots argument in order to divert the conversation away from actually illegal and shady stuff the Trump admin is doing
>>1393731Wow really? You'd think if it was illegal the FBI would do something about it since they were there too
>>1393753Kash Patel doesn't care about enforcing laws.
>>1393750Oh yes, the "righties" are the ones bringing up Jan 6th all the time...
>>1393750Cutting government spending and auditing finances is not illegal, fagmaxxer
This is such a distraction from them gutting the SEC, FTC, and CFPB, making Americans more vulnerable to scams. Those agencies save money.
>>1393753Yeah the problem is they helped. This is what is called "abuse of power" anon and the FBI guys are guilty of assisting in it too.>>1393763Also not what they're doing retard.
>>1393767They're cutting the weather service, the clean air monitors, and the food inspectors, and you're worried about white collar crime? Get your priorities straight.
>>1393778Ostensibly they're doing that to save money. But whose money? It's not the average American. That's pretty obvious.
>>1393779They don't dare to go after the military budget, so instead he's going after things their buddies can replace for a much higher price.
>>1393781He's removing regulators and other impediments to the billionaire class, specifically agencies that have placed fines on his companies or prevented him from exploiting workers/resources. It was never about saving the American taxpayer any money, just paving the way for abuses without monetary consequence.
>>1393783>just paving the way for abuses without monetary consequence.We'll just have to go back to the way our grandfathers settled their grievances with their employers: By dragging them and their family out their beds and burning their factories down.Your private guard isn't going to stick their necks out to protect you from the hundreds of people you've screwed, number of times security details have dipped because they were out numbers is kind of funny. There has been a noticeable uptick in vigilantes in recent years are faith in the government dealing with this shit has waned and these dumb asses are just throwing it all out.
>>1393795And the fact that Elon is using his son as body armor suggest he knows he can't hire anyone to protect him. Question is why you'd continue doing shit that pisses off people enough to want to off you?
>>1393795>By dragging them and their family out their beds and burning their factories down.Well considering the rash of tesla arsons, we're halfway there.
>>1393795We need it, but first we need to get fit, disciplined, and trained. Most Americans are comfy, fat, soft, and not ready for violence.>>1393798He has a personal security detail of ~20 goons, some of which are rumored to be ex-blackwater.>>1393804Burning stationary garbage down is very different from ending a life, and most won't have the stomach for it.
>>1393807Those 20 goons aren't going to take a bullet for him or risk getting ripped apart by an angry mob or he wouldn't be using his child as a shield. It's posturing to deter individuals just like every other sec detail.
>>1393206>The privately operated USIP works to maintain U.S. diplomacy abroad.......how so?
Its an illegal bodyI hate DOGE more than you faggots ever could but they're right in this instance
