    Unless it involved keeping terrorists like ICE out of the neighborhood, I’m gonna call bullsh*t on that.

    “We did a lot of cool stuff while you weren’t looking that we can’t tell you about but you should be thankful and praise us.”

    This give serious “my girlfriend lives in another state” vibes. My go to with these guys is to always assume the opposite of what they say. So I assume they did nothing.

    Usually, when the FBI arrests “terrorists”, you find out that the FBI was the mastermind of the plot; provided materials and weapons; and the people arrested were recruited by the FBI. This pattern holds true with the militia types and the jihads.

    Not that violent idiots don’t belong in jail, but it’s just funny that the FBI has planned more attacks on US soil than any other terrorist org. And it’s depressing because any smart and capable terrorist would never come within a mile of the FBI’s amateur hour entrapment.

    Worth noting that Michigan is a Hotspot for far-right extremist groups. It was from here they conspired to kidnap Whitmer. False flags are of course common, too. Wasn’t a recent shooting there from some qanon nutjob, too?
