    I’m just happy they’re finally acknowledging that domestic terrorism is a thing, even if its just to avoid looking hypocritical because of Luigi Mangione

      Finally? Didn’t Homeland Security or the FBI come out in the mid 2000s to warn that the most serious terror threat would be the domestic one?

          There’s a scene in Justified and similar in some other shows in the years after 9/11. Marshalls are looking for help on some homegrown organized crime types and the FBI tell them “sorry boys if it ain’t about turbans or bombs in the sand we don’t have the money or time.”

          We just sorta never stopped that after 20 years occupying and bombing the wrong country and now we have a goddamn nazi infestation again
