How would I know the priest was fake?
I kid. I have a fraternity brother who is the real deal. (not Catholic) In general, though, it can be hard to tell.

Interesting story on drag and its role in the US Army during 1941 to 1945. It was quite mainstream and even encouraged for morale.
The Army even encouraged men to practice their makeup techniques on each other. During the 1943 conference, Lieutenant Robert T. Stevenson and Sergeant Albert C. Hamilton live-demonstrated “G.I. Gal” makeup to a captivated audience, followed by a “G.I. Beauty Parade” of active-duty soldiers shaking their hips through the auditorium’s aisles.
During this period, the Army also felt it was as necessary to ship wigs overseas as it was to send ammunition, prioritizing theatrical training alongside basic training. The National Archives at College Park houses the Special Services’ administrative documents, which include a December 1944 memo recording the shipment of thousands of theatrical kits to overseas commands. These kits included barracks bags full of dresses, makeup, and wigs for GI drag shows. Apparently, during World War II, the military needed to draft millions of people and produce ships, aircraft, artillery, tanks, food, and ammunition … and teach men how to apply rouge.

Drag Is a New Conservative Target, But Turns Out, the U.S. Military Loved It
World War II Army training manuals taught soldiers how to make a wig out of a mop, a bra out of a towel. Now drag is being banned.

The words 'theatrical training' doing a lot of heavy lifting in the above post. Drag goes back at least to the Civil War in US Army theatrical shows.Interesting story on drag and its role in the US Army during 1941 to 1945. It was quite mainstream and even encouraged for morale.

That footage of the police cuffing the 10 year old girl in Sacramento and then telling her off for hiding first is horrible
First off, most parents tell their kids not to open the door to strangers, especially at night, so her turning off the lights and essentially hiding is a perfectly natural response for a kid in what would likely have been a terrifying scenario for them
Secondly, how was she supposed to know you were actually cops and not robbers in disguise or something?
Thirdly, when the kid leaves the house crying saying that they're scared and they don't know what to do, talk to them and explain why you're there in a way they'll understand. Don't cuff them and traumatise them further
I wouldn't have a clue what to do if that had happened to me when I was 10, so I don't blame her for being nervy and unsure of what she needed to do
It's annoying the cops in question have essentially gotten away with it too

Iowa meteorologist resigns after death threats over climate crisis coverage
Chris Gloninger who will resign from job after 18 years says he developed post-traumatic stress disorder
This is one where Congress really needs to pass something. Of course, it would mean doubling the size of DoJ for a while, and good luck getting to 60 in the Senate. The death threats are a huge problem, though. If they came from abroad, at least the victim would know that.

This is the kinda stuff that these agencies get involved in and think it is their mission to justify which is just reprehensible:
FBI Groomed Developmentally Challenged 16-Year-Old To Become A Terrorist, Then Arrested Him
Earlier this month, the FBI announced the arrest of 18-year-old Mateo Ventura of Wakefield, Massachusetts, over allegations that he provided financial support to ISIS. According to the DOJ's press release, Ventura was indicted for "knowingly concealing the source of material support or resources that he intended to go to a foreign terrorist organization."
Yet, according to the government's own criminal complaint, Ventura never gave a dime to any terrorist groups, while the only "terrorist" he actually had any contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him when he was 16-years-old and convinced him to produce gift cards with small amounts of cash on them. The FBI agent told Ventura not to tell anyone about their 'intimate online relationship,' including his family, according to The Intercept.
Whats more, Ventura's father, Paul, told the outlet that his son suffered from childhood developmental issues which were so bad that he was forced to leave school due to constant bullying from other students.
"He was born prematurely, he had brain development issues. I had the school do a neurosurgery evaluation on him and they said his brain was underdeveloped," said Ventura. "He was suffering endless bullying at school with other kids taking food off his plate, tripping him in the hallway, humiliating him, laughing at him."
In short, instead of an actual terrorist - or terrorist adjacent, Ventura's case is yet another example of the FBI grooming a mentally unfit young man to commit a crime that would not have other wise occurred.

It's not like I love DoJ. What I'm saying is that neither you, nor I, nor anyone else should be subjected to what that weatherman went through. It's happening more and more often, across a wide variety of issue areas. State and local governments aren't equipped to stop it, so if we want it to stop then the change has to happen at the federal level.This belief that increasing the size of law enforcement agencies would improve life is ridiculous.

If you want to take the side of people who perpetrate that sort of thing, by denying the ability and the right of government to intervene, I can't stop you. Tell you what, though. Taking that side of the coin makes you look like a clown. Cherry-picking the worst abuses of law enforcement to defend the lawlessness the article describes is odd, coming from someone who claims to believe in law and order. It makes you look like someone with an agenda to enable online harassment, for the purpose of suppressing views you don't like but that happen to have broad-based support. It makes you look like someone who wants to substitute fantasy for reality, by any means necessary.
That's little different from totalitarian, state-sanctioned harassment for those purposes. It's interesting how people like you love DoJ when your man has the presidency, then turn on it on a dime when he doesn't. I conclude that you and your ilk do not believe in the rule of law, or peaceful transitions of power.

Can any Americans on here tell me what happens to the scumbag who was posting the pictures in a case like this? The amount of money feels largely arbitrary as it is an impossible amount. Will he have to declare bankruptcy?
