They already did. It's why you didn't hear about Operation Northwoods for 50 years and also why Wikileaks came into prominence. Also why, even after everything this year, we still don't know who all of Epstein's co-conspirators were, and probably never will.
No, we didn't. But, about a year after I graduated, I was delivering pizzas and ended up seeing the lunch ladies, the janitor, and a couple bus drivers smoking weed, drinking beers, and playing D&D on a Saturday. It was evening and it looked like they had been going at it all day. So, they may not have been hot but they were way cooler than I gave them credit for in high school.
Ease up, he's just a pug. Between the in breeding and being squeezed into a suit, he deserves some wiggle room. He's just a little guy, it's not his fault his eyes bulge out and he's a walking punchline
Yeah, some of it was banks that paid off the victims, which is weird too. I don't have faith in the journalists to look into it, but I really hope someone does.
Allison Gill on Daily Beans is t going to drop it.
She’s the one that broke the news that FBI teams had training videos on how to flag mentions of Trump in the Epstein files, as well as that Maxwell’s sex offender status has been waived so she can be in a low security facility (and is actually allowed to leave the facility similar to the original plea deal with Epstein.)
My guess is they used a very old version of Acrobat, because they're cheap-ass mofos with no idea how software works or the fact that this redacting issue with Acrobat has been an issue for governments and businesses for decades.
I'm wondering if the flattened ones can still be bypassed with vector software. If the pdf's don't have security: open with illustrator or inkscape, delete black shapes, font get left behind as outlines, resave as pdf, OCR with acrobat. Hey presto... Searchable documents again.

For now... I fear the day a competent Government tries its hand at the corruption game.

Did you guys have hot lunch ladies? My school sure fucking didn’t.

I don’t think the lunch ladies would have to be hot for Kash Patel to fantasize about them.
Cruxifux@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 254d
Honestly I have no idea what a man like Patel would fantasize about, but I’m sure it would horrify me.

Our esteemed FBI Director always seems to look like he's just shat his pants.

What's been unredacted is proof of improper redactions.

I'm reminded of a quote from the great Mel Brooks' film Dracula: Dead and Loving It starring the magnificent Leslie Nielsen.

Yeah, I remember my first year, before I learned you need to uncheck a box to make sure the pdf can't be unflattened...

I saw a video that said that Doge stopped federal agencies from paying for the pro adobe acrobat version.
And that one would have actually made it full proof redacted. So
Essentially doge has done one good thing for the u.s with their incompetence.
