Wow that racist nut job googled “how to bring down the us government” amongst many other far more sinister things on his work computer.

Good thing he was a dumbass.

Little did he know the way to do this is become a member of congress and pass laws restricting education, gerrymander the shit out of every state, install heavily biased judges at every level of court, and then proceed to demolish every precedent every set.

It’s someone who was probably doing 20 other illegal things he didn’t get caught for and lost track of what devices to commit his crimes on. It’s like porn addicts that find themselves on a porn website on their work computer before they realize what device they are using.

Fun Fact: in some places it's a separate charge to have child pornography on a work computer vs a personal computer. Found that out browsing the local jail roster.
