DHS secretary Chad Wolf thinks he has unlimited power

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Acting secretary Chad Wolf emphasized that the Department of Homeland Security had the authority to protect the roughly 9,000 federal buildings located in any state, regardless of how state leaders felt about a federalized presence.

Speaking to Fox News hosts on Monday morning, Wolf blamed state leaders for the ongoing protests that has prompted the deployment of DHS agents to federal buildings last week, including a courthouse in Portland, Oregon.

State leaders have "fostered this environment that allows these individuals to attack the courthouse," Wolf said during the Fox News interview, adding that,"I don't need invitations by the state, state mayors, or state governors to do our job."

"We're going to do that, whether they like us there or not," Wolf said. "That's our responsibility."

acting on behalf of a spoiled man-toddler and his tubby attorney general, are "taking over" our cities.

This insanity has gone far enough -- time to put the goddamn foot down on these putrid, miserable shitheels.

4. "...he was an early architect of the family separation policy." Charming. Fucking charming.

In 2018 he became Chief of Staff of DHS under Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.[4] While working for Nielsen, he was an early architect of the family separation policy.

11. Even if it gets to the SCOTUS

12. I propose a new law:

no one named Chad should ever hold any sort of position in government. That's not a real name.
