Tommy Vitor

So that's significant. They're pushing through a lot of judges. I think he's about to beat Trump's record from the first term, the most judges confirmed. So those are things he is doing, things he could be doing. I'd love to see him say, cut off all military support for the war in Gaza. Why not?

Trump might turn it back on, but let's stop the carnage for a couple of months and say, fuck you to Bibi Nanyahu. Similarly in Syria, there's a huge opportunity right now to shape whatever comes next. We could decide to take off some sanctions, things that are politically risky because the people in charge now have roots in terrorist organizations, but Joe Biden doesn't have to worry about that.

politics going forward. Like maybe they could move to close Gitmo. I don't know if this is feasible given the laws that were passed by Congress, but there's 30 people left at Gitmo. Costs half a billion a year to keep it open. 16 of them have been cleared for transfer because they have not been charged and they pose no risk. Get those guys out of there.

You have to figure out a country to send them to. You get that process going. But like there's some things you could do that would be really pretty historic.

Yeah, I mean, there's just so much space on foreign policy, like so much foreign policy is bound up with stupid politics, especially in Florida. Like Obama tried to take a bunch of steps to normalize relations with Cuba. Trump wound them all back. Biden kind of went halfway to the Obama position. Why not just get rid of that?

The stupid sanctions on Cuba or normalize relations in some way or allow travel or remittances at the maximum level possible. There's all these things you could do that really would be historic and important. And when you're unencumbered by politics, why not run through the tape?

Well, I think they pardoned all the people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the pandemic under the CARES Act. Right. Which was Trump. Which was this was the remaining like fifteen hundred or so. So they just did a blanket pardon. I guess they didn't.

individually vet all the people on that list or commutation commutation commutation yeah sorry um and so i don't know i guess like to take the other side of this argument i think stories like this examples like this are why pardons and clemency are really really hard to do politically because by definition you are releasing someone who did something illegal and or untoward

And the argument is that they have changed. Now, I'm not like defending these people on the merits. The kids for cash people sound awful. As is this woman who stole like, what, $54 million from the city of Dixon, the comptroller. But I think both of them were due to be released between two to four years from now and were on home confinement anyway.

So maybe they figured rather than pluck out exceptions and start that process, you just kind of do the blanket 1500 and get it over with.

I mean, if I were her and I really wanted to stay in public service, I would run for governor. I think you are almost guaranteed to win that primary. It's a huge job.

you know what's California like the fifth biggest economy in the world if it were a country on its own I mean it's an enormous an enormous task and then we're trying to run for president again like nothing is guaranteed this may sound quaint maybe a little naive

Yeah, I thought that was like the dumb media prism. Yes. I assume she's doing exactly what you're saying, which is figure out. But I think if you were to ask her, what is she most passionate about? It has been domestic issues. It has been law enforcement. It has been criminal justice, things that she can do as governor.

It's more of a two for one.

He also truth. Let the public know and now otherwise shoot them down. So these are unmanned. I mean, I think this phenomenon is I think the reality is there's a lot of stuff in our airspace at all times. And if you start looking up, you're going to start seeing things. And people don't know what they're looking at from the ground because none of us are experts.

But then you've had the highest security clearance of all three of us. What?

Yeah, it was aliens. And so people get worried. They start talking about it. Then everyone else starts looking. And then stuff starts going around social media. And the craziest shit gets shared the most. Like I saw a video alleging that it was drones searching for a lost Ukrainian nuclear weapon. I saw that too. And I saw that because Joe Rogan returned. And I believe it. And I believe it.

Shoot them down.

Shoot them down. Liberal Joe Rogan, whatever. And then that was compounded by wildly irresponsible members of Congress, like New Jersey Rep Chris Smith said, the elusive maneuvering of these drones suggests a major military power sophistication that begs the question whether they've been deployed to test our defense capabilities or worse, by violent dictatorships, perhaps maybe Russia, China, Iran.

or North Korea. Richard Blumenthal called for the drones to be shot down. Again, we want to use live missiles over U.S. territory to blow up things in the sky. They're harming no one, not remembering that that metal will then fall on the ground. Wow. Also, I think- Maybe kill people. Wow, that's some fucking beta fag shit. Shoot them down.
