Arlo, why is your IT department so incompetent

Scrolling through the feed and the ‘unexpected error has occurred’ pops up. The app has to be force closed to get it to work properly again. A previous update created this problem and it is still not fixed

Arlo, why is your IT so incompetent

Every time I switch from devices to feed I have to stare at the screen waiting for the thumbnails to load. One of the updates created this problem months ago and it is still not fixed

As far as they’ve fallen it can’t be that expensive amirite

"...In 2021, the legalizer coalition got to run their experiment. That year, Oregon and Washington both effectively decriminalized the possession of small amounts of all controlled substances, replacing potential prison sentences with a regime of minimal fines. Proponents promised a steep decline in overdose deaths and improvement in public safety. But did that happen?..."

"...Implicitly and explicitly, critics of drug prohibition have long argued that drug control hurts people, rather than the drugs themselves. If it weren’t for prohibition, they maintain, everyone would have access to clean, safe substances of their choosing, and stigma-free options for treatment the minute they wanted to get out...."

City Journal is not woke so that means this article can be dismissed as racist fascist bigoted nazi hitler propaganda by the enlightened, sophisticated, compassionate, and caring Portlanders

Surprised to not find any posts about Patrick “Tate” Adamiak's case

Here's a good introduction:

One of the worst things ATF has ever done

It's part of a long list of immoral and illegal ATF actions.

by Lee Williams

Not one of the guns or gun parts the ATF seized from former sailor Patrick Tate Adamiak was illegal. Not a single gun or gun part required any additional paperwork beyond a Form 4473, and most didn’t even require that. Adamiak was always extremely careful and did absolutely nothing wrong.

Every single item that the ATF seized from Adamiak’s home is still sold to anyone who wants one. Most don’t even require an FFL for the transfer since they’re not even firearms but are instead legal gun parts.

So, why is Adamiak serving 20 years in a federal prison? Quite frankly, it’s because the ATF screwed up bigly and would rather incarcerate a completely innocent man than look foolish for believing the lies their informant—who was working off real criminal charges—told them.

This, folks, is as bad as law enforcement can get. The ATF is a sick joke and should be shuttered permanently, because ATF agents would rather charge a completely innocent man with bogus federal felonies and lie under oath than admit that they screwed up.

And lie under oath the ATF certainly did, none more so than ATF Firearms Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Bodell.

Bodell’s incredible deceptions have become almost legendary. He actually turned toys into firearms and legal semi-autos into machineguns.

• Bodell inserted a real STEN action and a real STEN barrel into Adamiak’s toy STEN submachinegun and got it to fire one round, even though the toy’s receiver wouldn’t accept a real STEN magazine. Bodell actually classified the toy, which are very popular, as a machinegun.
• Bodell fired five of Adamiak’s very expensive and extremely collectible legal semi-autos, which fire from an open bolt. All the ATF technician could achieve was semi-auto fire, but that didn’t stop him. He classified all five highly sought after firearms as machineguns.
• Bodell ruled that several receivers that had been cut in half were actually machineguns. The same parts are still legally sold online and do not require an FFL or any paperwork.
• Bodell actually rebuilt three inert RPGs, which had holes drilled into their receivers and were stripped of internal parts. ATF’s “expert” added parts from real RPGs until they would fire a single subcaliber 7.62x39mm round. As a result, he classified the RPGs as destructive devices.

ATF must be ended

Last week, 30 U.S. Senators sent a letter to the ATF, which sought to align the agency with President Donald Trump’s Second Amendment agenda.

The lawmakers took issue with several ATF rules involving pistol braces, “ghost guns,” and its zero-tolerance policy.

Behind their office closed doors, I’m pretty sure that senior ATF officials laughed at the Senators’ requests. In fact, they’re probably still laughing. After all, the ATF has become a criminal organization, which the Senators seemed willing to overlook. It’s the only way the dirty agency can remain in power.

Look at the lengths they took to prosecute Adamiak—an innocent E-6 sailor who would now be leading a Navy special warfare platoon if one of ATF’s mindless snitches had chosen someone else to hamper and harass, like an actual criminal.

To be clear, the actions that ATF agents took in Adamiak’s case are criminal in nature, and everyone involved who had a federal badge in their billfold should be fired and charged with a host of federal crimes.

Adamiak certainly isn’t alone. ATF has made a habit of bad searches with horrible results. Ask Russell Fincher, a high school history teacher, Baptist minister and part-time gun dealer whom the ATF targeted with excessive force. Ask Mark Manley and his family, who were victimized by an early morning search warrant by more than a dozen heavily armed ATF agents who lobbed flashbang grenades at his children. Or ask Brian Malinowski’s widow if you still need more proof.

Unfortunately, the ATF learned the wrong lessons from these illegal forced entries, which is unfortunate for those of us who do not want to get shot in the middle of the night by their agents. The ATF decided that they must come up with some type of criminal charges after they kick open a door. That’s why they charged Adamiak with a host of made-up crimes. I mean, ATF rebuilt a toy gun and DEWAT RPGs to make their case against an innocent man. Is there anything they won’t do?

In my humble opinion, President Trump should not worry about who he will appoint as the next ATF director. Instead, he should only concern himself about closing the ATF’s doors for good. Ask Patrick Tate Adamiak if you need any more information about that.
