*sigh* overheard in the local men's locker room this morning [View all]

Old guy 1: Did you vote yet?
Old guy 2: Not yet. Went out yesterday, but they’re closed on Sunday I guess.
Old guy 1: I always vote in person on Election Day. Say, did you see the DOJ authorized the military to use lethal force against U.S. citizens?
Old guy 2: What? They did what?
Old guy 1: Yeah, they reissued a directive that now lets the kill Americans, I’ll sent you the link.
Old guy 2: Do.

So I went home and did a little due diligence. They’re referring to a particular directive that was simply updated a week or two ago, it’s part of normal, routine updates that government documents art subject to, and nothing in the document authorized what they claimed. But te DOJ still had to issue a denial.

I guess maga-ville is losing its mind over this, the timing close on the heels of Helene, and a few weeks before the election. Unbelievable how ready they are to believe this shit.
