    Wasn’t there a standoff between Apple and the govt a few years back because the govt couldn’t get into a phone and wanted apples engineers To unlock it and they wouldn’t? Just asking for a friend.

     

    Yeah. Several times actually. And every time the govt. manages to get the password just before the final bell gets rung by a court. Odd, that.

    @LeviF can verify but this is 100% wrong whoever that dude is... USSS are federal agents and have the ability to operate anywhere in the United States.

     

    The guy carrying a gun can carry it anywhere but once he begins an illegal act (pointing a weapon) he is in the US which is jurisdiction of USSS.

     

    stop believing everything on X. jesus... can't wait for the Dems to believe in their own Q-Anon.

     

    I mean depending on the context it may be accurate to a degree. The Secret Service can't stop people from legally carrying weapons outside of a perimeter that they've set. But once someone presents as a threat all of the normal police rules of engagement apply: objective reasonableness and the like. It is objectively reasonable for a federal agent to fire on somebody who has assumed a prone position with a rifle with a clear view of a protectee, "jurisdiction" notwithstanding.

    Would bet it's Rubio. He needs a milquetoast VP like Pence. 

     

    Vance is too much of an insane QAnon nut. 

     

    It's a fine line because he needs to not alienate boomercons upset with his "tone" and looking for just one more excuse to not vote but also make sure that his VP is solid assassination insurance. Party-approved, GOPe guys like Rubio and Haley virtually guarantee his death inside of six months.

    DO you know how shiity life can be if behind most trees there is someone that might take you out?  The Vietcong never took on the US military directly, yet didn't lose.  Don't act so brash, it is a legitimate threat.


    And the Vietcong didn’t have access to military shot callers’ names, addresses, wives, children…

    We have free will because we are made in Gods image (Genesis). 
     

    Sin is simply the contemplation of worldly things instead of God. Adam’s sin wasnt eating the apple, it was turning from the contemplation of God and his works to contemplating his own nakedness and bodily desires.

     

    Contra Gentes by St. Athanasius is an excellent read if you have the time. One of the most important works of the early Church.


    God explains what Adam did wrong. There’s some good relationship advice in there for free too.

    He has dominion over the spiritual domain of heaven and earth. He's not ruling the earth. This is where that free will aspect comes into play. Jesus/God/holy spirit doesn't play games and manipulate people of the Earth the way the Devil does. God doesn't interject the way he did in Old Testament times. The Devil doesn't believe in free will, obviously. That's the spiritual battle constantly fought within people: the devil tempting you directly and your faith and commitment restraining you to keep you on the right path.


    What does “all authority” mean?

     

    And where does the Bible state that humans operate with free will?

    Giving free will, but then interjecting is hypocritical. You're calling God a hypocrite.

     

    God does not appoint politicians. I wish that was a universal understanding. The Bible tells us time and again the the Devil rules the earth. He even tempts Jesus by offering him authority over the kingdoms of the world. Obviously, Jesus refuses because he knows he rules a greater domain.


    You fail to grasp even the basics of this. 
     

    Condition on the “authority” that the tempter offered was what? To worship the tempter. 
     

    Jesus refused not because he rules a “greater domain” but because his dominion is greater than that of the tempter’s. 
     

    Properly understood, Christianity teaches that Jesus rules both heaven and earth as God and Christ.

    This will obviously end up in the Defiant L’s thread. Dude is a senior fellow at a race hustling PAC and describes himself as a critical race theorist. He doesn’t say but I think he might be a democrat.
     

    And a total loser. 


    All leftists think that it’s “too perfect” because they have no mental framework for human courage. 
     

    And Tim Wise’s head on a pike is going to be my thanksgiving centerpiece when our guys win.

    There is an epidemic of left wing violence we need to talk about. This is what, the fourth or fifth right of center leader who has had an assassination attempt the last 12 months? Trump, the leader of Spain's right wing party, the leader of Slovenia, the AfD higher up, and was there someone in the Netherlands too?


    Don’t forget Shinzo Abe. Maybe that was more than a year ago though. 
     

    If anybody takes anything away from today (let it be after watching the videos of the female secret service agents) it should be that women don’t belong within 100 miles of any law enforcement career.

    Single mothers are more prevalent than single fathers   Neither get much support but one has a choice on parenthood and one currently does not. 

     


    They all have a choice. You’re essentially saying a woman should have no agency until and unless it’s time to kill her baby. Then she is basically god.

    The data book had the raw numbers on recruitment.

     

    Most stay in the IRS once there.  A lot of people use it as a retirement plan and come at the end of their career and stay until the pension kicks in and retires).

     

    From the attorney side a lot will just stay until Public Student loan forgiveness kicks in and then leave for greener pastures.

     

    All IRS CI agents I know have been there a long time and don’t plan on leaving.

     

    Gotcha. I have no idea what the work culture there is like. HSI guys seem pretty happy. USSS seems like ***** gig since a lot of those guys dip after their three years is up. Especially since that mandatory rotation to DC kicks in after 3-5. Once you're an 1811 seems like you can pretty much take it anywhere in the G so retention is an issue for the bad/boring jobs.
