Das DHS sperrt Bovino den Zugang zu sozialen Medien, nachdem er Beiträge veröffentlicht hat, in denen er seine unbestätigten Behauptungen über Alex Pretti verteidigt

Buried the lede: he’s apparently not been demoted?

EDIT: The article quotes „not been relieved of his duties“, but I guess he has been demoted technically.

Didn’t Noem spout the same trash? Can we shut her up and demote her too?

The Lollipop Guild has not chosen a replacement yet

Pretty sure Musk was writing them anyways.

***Scapegoat in 3… 2…***

Getting thrown under the bus is where **every** Trump sycophant ends up.

You’d think Trump’s sycophants would catch-on to ‚this one trick‘ after *decades* of seeing other toadies discarded like yesterday’s garbage.

How does this happen to him and not the rest of them.

Once he’s retired, EXTRADITE HIM TO MN TO STAND TRIAL.

What about the rest of the administration who did the same fucking thing

Scapegoat. In this case he’s also at fault for his terrible leadership, but his directions came from further up the chain.

He’s gonna be the fall guy for what Trump and Noem did.

They should grant him immunity and force him to testify under oath. You either go to prison for obstruction or perjury. Can’t plead the 5th if you’re immune.

Now do Stephen Miller

The *only* reason there’s even mild pullback from DHS and the white house on this (and let’s be clear, no justice or consequences have come AT ALL to these freaks. Yet.), is because Pretti was essentially unimpeachable especially as more details about him came to light in the days after his brutal murder.

The cowardly bastards of ICE shot Mr. Rogers in cold blood, even staunch republicans are wavering in their defense of these ghouls.

They were fine when it was just brown people and children dying in concentration camps. They weren’t even all that upset when ICE murdered a white woman. This is how low the bar has sunk in this country.

They’re just trying to quiet things down long enough for Fox News and the rest to get the new messaging out to MAGA. They were losing control of the media narrative and MAGA was starting to get agitated over the 2nd Amendment stuff, so they’re trying to slow things down for the moment. 

I have no doubt once their algorithm shows conservative social media has sunk back into the propaganda envelope, they’ll ratchet things back up. They have a November deadline to have “good reasons” for armed federal agents and/or the military to be in the streets and around voting booths. 

Never forget they have a deadline for getting this stuff done. We have 9-ish months left. 

If only they would suspend his access to O2
