The FBI’s recruitment of Thiel as a CHS puts him among the bureau’s most prominent assets, but he is not alone among right-wing figures who have collaborated with the bureau. Trump himself offered to help the FBI fight organized crime in Atlantic City in the early 1980s. Truth Social, the Trump-owned social-media company, has quietly tipped the FBI off to users who threaten violence, even as it seeks to cash in on their anger. At least two of the rioters who showed up to storm the Capitol on January 6 were also FBI informants, as was Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys leader who was sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and other felonies stemming from the Capitol breach. Tarrio reportedly served as a source for federal and local law enforcement, assisting with the prosecution of more than a dozen people.

Fuck you I won’t what you tell me.
Nailed it.
Remember when Bush Jr was one of the worst things going. Not looking forward to the mess after Trump and his time is looked at as not as s bad based on whatever level of crazy is going on then.
I wonder if there will be a Spanish like Miracle (no one fought for the Fascism after Franco died, everyone fought against it) when people that currently support this shit show say they never did support it.
May be an obvious thing to everybody else, but what do you mean by spook? Where I’m from we’re careful using that word.
Anyone from the three letter national security agencies.
It’s a slur, similar to gl**ie has a racist origin but people think calling themselves a lefty means they can’t be racist so use it anyway.
…glowie? gibbie? What are you spelling
