FBI sued after allegedly losing hundreds of thousands in rare coins during raid

Holy shit, was just checking there while waiting for food on the stove to simmer and there were NO registered members signed in as of 9:30PM EST. The most popular boards, General Discussion, Tactics and Training, and Handguns, had 0 registered members and around 60-80 guests viewing. And looking at the main page of the boards, only 1-3 new posts per day on each of these boards. Just wow...
From 2001 to around 2006 or so, TFL was ROWDY AF. On some afternoons and weekends it even paralleled ARF and GlockTalk. Passing through there earlier I felt exactly how Conn Maxwell felt in The Cosmic Computer (H. Beam Piper, 1963), when he finally got off the long starship voyage from Earth to his own home planet of Poictesme, one of the most bustling commerce and trade centers of the System States Alliance before the bankruptcy caused by the defeat of the System States in the Federation War turned it into a dusty, arid, mostly abandoned, and bandit ridden backwater world. Just deserts and ghost towns with smatterings of settlements still trying to get some industries running... Just sad all through...

Overmoderated FUDD board scared off all the high class play. Plus I think the High Road won out
That was 100% what led to TFL's downfall. A lot of the Fudds were complaining that there was too much "cussing and offensive jokes", so they decided to make even the GD section into gun technical questions only section. No more news and current events, topics which DRIVE forum activity and viewership. Imagine a local or national TV news station one day suddenly proclaiming: "As of today, we will no longer be broadcasting actual news, traffic, weather, and politics, but instead, from 12pm to 4pm every day we will hold seminars on effective journalism and how to run a good news channel. At other hours, this channel is dormant and no signals would be broadcast". Imagine how that would go for that channel.
The High Road had a pretty rocky time in 2008-2010 as well. At one point, Oleg Volk was engaged in a lengthy court battle with who he thought was a friend and who had Pence'd him, claiming full ownership and credit for THR which had been Oleg's intellectual property and creation all along. While the court was hearing the lengthy arguments, there were TWO THRs, one with a .com and the other with a .us domain. The impostor ran the one with the .com domain which had always been Oleg's. Now it seems to be settled and they are on somewhat good business terms again so both sites remerged with threads from both intact. The impostor did not even attend Tea Party 2009 in DC because he did not want to run into Oleg face to face. WTF... Meanwhile everybody else had a really good time there. Everybody was there. Vanderboegh (RIP), Dave Codrea, Suprynowicz, etc... After the rally was over the crowd flooded into the restaurant and Chinatown areas and the only thing that compelled me to finally leave at 8pm was because the last Chinatown express bus back to NYC departs at 8:30 and I HAD been drinking, so driving was out of the question LOL. Everybody stayed there well after 10...

Bullshit. You don’t want to do your job, I’ll find someone who will.I don't know much about Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. It would seem to me he overstepped his authority to tell the UAW members
He said, ‘You strike, you’re fired.’ Simple concept to me, to the extent that we can use that once again.”
For a black man from the South it would seem he would want better pay and conditions for his UAW "Brother's".

In Poland, the Catholic Church is not only more conservative than elsewhere, it also has great influence. Shortly before the general election, a gay orgy shakes her self-image.
The matter is extremely embarrassing for the Catholic Church. Actually, their priests are supposed to be celibate and concentrate entirely on God, which is why the so-called celibacy bans Catholic clergy from marrying. The Vatican is no less rigorous when it comes to same-sex love: Rome's line is that homosexuality contradicts the will of God, even if it is an open secret that men in the church also have sex with each other. But in Poland a case is now causing a stir - just a few weeks before the parliamentary elections.
The reason for the public debate is a sex party among Catholic priests that ended in a medical emergency. This is reported by the newspaper “Gazeta Wyborcza”, citing one of the party guests. Accordingly, the clergy celebrated their orgy in Dąbrowa Górnicza in the south of the country in a church official apartment. A sex worker was also hired. "The whole event was purely sexual in nature, the participants all took potency drugs," the newspaper quoted its anonymous source as saying. “Then everything got out of control and the sex worker lost consciousness.”
In a statement on Friday, the regional church leadership initially admitted that there had been an intervention by paramedics and police in one of its buildings, which is now being investigated by a church commission. Shortly afterwards it was said that the church's findings "differ significantly from what can be read in the media". But the position apparently could not be held for long. On Friday, the church announced that Tomasz Z., in whose apartment the sex party is said to have taken place, was exempt from all church functions "until the incident is clarified." But that apparently didn't go far enough for the responsible bishop of Sosnowiec.
Bishop Kaszak writes that he prays that Pastor Tomasz Z. will be cured of his sexual orientation. This sentence alone shows the extremely conservative worldview of the Catholic Church in Poland. In Germany, so-called conversion therapies for the “treatment” of homosexuality have been banned since 2020. The out-of-control priestly orgy is not only sensitive for the Polish church, which likes to portray itself to the outside world as the guardian of strict sexual morals.
https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten...nder-weltrekord-aberkannt-nach-37-jahren.html
Representatives of the Catholic Church have always supported and publicly promoted the government's harsh socio-political course. The influence of the church is still great, especially among the rural population. And that is also where the PiS has its most loyal following. Catholic priests who literally party in church rooms until the doctor comes are likely to be a hindrance to the mobilization for a "morally clean Poland."

Priests celebrate sex party – Poland's church in need of explanation

Church relieves priests of all positions
It is unclear exactly why the man fainted. The only thing that is certain is that a rescue team that was called initially couldn't get through to him: the priests probably didn't let the paramedics into the building out of fear of the scandal. They first had to call the police , who cleared the way for the helpers to reach the unconscious sex worker. The responsible public prosecutor's office has apparently opened an investigation into the case for failure to provide assistance, reports Gazeta Wyborcza. But for the church in Poland, the legal consequences of the party are probably of secondary importance.In a statement on Friday, the regional church leadership initially admitted that there had been an intervention by paramedics and police in one of its buildings, which is now being investigated by a church commission.

“No agreement with moral evil”
In a letter read out in all churches in his district, Grzegorz Kaszak condemned the "painful events of Dąbrowa Górnicza" and the "disgraced priests" who took part in them. “I apologize to everyone who is affected, sad or even upset by what has happened,” the bishop wrote to churchgoers. "There is no agreement with moral evil, and all those involved will be punished according to canon law, regardless of the verdict of a trial."Bishop Kaszak writes that he prays that Pastor Tomasz Z. will be cured of his sexual orientation. This sentence alone shows the extremely conservative worldview of the Catholic Church in Poland. In Germany, so-called conversion therapies for the “treatment” of homosexuality have been banned since 2020. The out-of-control priestly orgy is not only sensitive for the Polish church, which likes to portray itself to the outside world as the guardian of strict sexual morals.
Party until the doctor comes
Shortly before the parliamentary elections on October 15, the case could also become a problem for the ruling national conservative party “Law and Justice” (PiS). The party, in which founder Jarosław Kaczyński still sets the tone , has repeatedly stirred up sentiment against homosexuals and trans people in recent years. The PiS strictly rejects same-sex marriage, and by tightening abortion laws in 2016, it also massively restricted women's rights.https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten...nder-weltrekord-aberkannt-nach-37-jahren.html

These fancy models like Chat-GPT do take up a TON of power to train. Power bill alone runs millions of dollars. Thus only the truly rich can train them and if you trust them to just be all benevolent and shit, I got a bridge to sell ya.
Actually not too bad if you're trying to show the fancy/personalized engraving to the camera. Also noted, it has a threaded barrel for a future suppressor purchase.
Because the rule of law (even if not admin code) is on the side of the good guys. Ask St. Thomas More about it.

PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST BOUGHT A GLOCK!
So who purchased the Glock, Trump or the AG? If it was Trump let's hope he had it shipped to an FFL in Florida or, otherwise, Hunter Biden beats the gun charges in his criminal case.
Oh and the obvious; did he just purchase a firearm while under a criminal indictment?

That is the main question here. Even though the consensus of the Net and the public sphere is that Trump is a victim of political smearing and railroading, while Hunter is an actual shitbag and a ne'er-do-well. If the store (PSA retail outlet) proceeded with the sale anyway on principle of righteousness, you can expect the ATF will try to make as many problems as they can for the company and they are going to need as much help as the united 2A community can muster up to hold off these parasites.
