Again, Democrats got the message that defund was not a great message based off focus groups and polling. Who knew…

Weird right, it’s almost like they wanted to destabilize major metros to blame the former Prez and then be the “savior” when they’re in power. Been their calling card my entire adult life.0

I would assume Democrats agreed because of abortion and Trump stuff. On the Republican side is probably due to Trump stuff. Both sides love to play the victim card. Democrats are masters at this and Republicans are not very good historically.

Oh and BTW, threat to democracy is going to be a rally cry for Democrats now until November. Apparently phrase scored well in focus groups. Guess defund police didn’t fair as well. Who knew.

Not meant as a slight, I think you’re lying to yourself about the democrats mastering the threat to democracy versus the republicans. I can give you 50/50 because I think the Dems wouldn’t have respected the result either, but one side got people to storm the capitol so I think they’re pretty good at it. It and they are all the same, just different birthplaces.

Which made the cry from far-right Republicans to defund the FBI even more ironic.

Look, this country can not properly function if there is the slightest perception that Federal Law Enforcement is politically bias. Unfortunately, we are most definitely here.....and the perception of bias is nothing but Trump stone cold hatred.

Look, this country cannot properly function if so many people are stupid enough to have the perception that federal law enforcement is politically biased, and then decided not to act simply to accommodate the morons who think that.

It's actually easier to argue that he was shown far more leniency and given far more chances than nearly anyone else in the country ever would have been given.

Really? Is that what NPR or your FB feed told you? This is totally delusional and factually incorrect.

I don't use Facebook. In fact I hate it. I think we'd be much better off without it. And if I wanted to listen to NPR, I wouldn't even know where to find it on the dial.

What I did do is something that I am certain you did not. I read the actual filing.

You may have read the filing, but you obviously didn't read my post - because that's not what I was commenting on.
