Politics Thread

The weaponization comments stem more from the alleged Whitmer kidnapping plot and the role the FBI played, the conspiracy theory that FBI agents were the first to cross into the capital on J6 thus instigating it, and the flagging of people criticizing school boards over CRT and other items.

I think the FBI certainly has lost it's way, but I think that ship can be nudged back in the right direction easily.

I'm not sure that a conspiracy theory qualifies as a reason the FBI has lost it's way.
Has the total department not acted in the traditional role of Federal law enforcement.
Sure, they, like any agency they'll make mistakes sometimes. But weaponized for somebody's political game?

Just because Trump is still lying about the election, let the lawbreakers, including seditionists out of jail, doesn't mean he's right.
And going after the FBI agents who fulfilled their duty to help the DOJ investigate and prosecute those crimes is Russian type crap.

[Strange Brew]

When you think the FBI is "weaponized" as it helped the Justice Department investigate the J6 crimes...and therefore needs to be investigated itself...it seems you are doing Putin's bidding and wasting time/$ for sure.
Maybe DOGE could investigate that.

Paul, let J6 go. It wasn’t worse than Pearl Harbor and it wasn’t 911 X 1,000 (iykyk).

I’m glad you’ve stopped hyper-ventilating over gov’t employees having to write an email that takes 5 min, 15 if they actually think about it.

[paulxu]

I'm laughing at the 1 million that came in and who is going to read them.
Then I realized the point was to fire those who didn't respond.
Then I saw the Judiciary said ignore them. Then I saw the office that sent them out said ignore them.

And it cemented that these people have no idea what the hell they are doing. And that would be par for the course.

SB: No I won't "let J6 go." It was the worst insurrection since April, 1861 and the current president continues to lie about it. His pardon of the convicted J6 participants will be part of his legacy. "Alternate facts" may work on FAUX NEWS but not here.

DOJ Hires A State Judge Who Was Once Suspended To Advise The Deputy AG

the acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration has abolishing CREO, the SSA’s statutory civil rights and equal opportunity division.
Acting Commission Leland Dudek was a mid-level SSA staffer until about a week ago, when he was caught making unauthorized leaks of SSA information to DOGE. He was in the process of being fired when he was elevated over at least one hundred more senior agency executives to running the whole agency.

Border crossings are at a 15 year low. Military recruitment is at a 15-year high. The US hostages are free.

Its great the adults are back in charge and we finally have decency in the White House.

You got one thing right. The people in these jobs have no idea what they’re doing. You are almost so close to reality it’s humorous.

No. It wasn’t.

What happened in April 1861? I know and I know why. Do you?

BTW, my ancestors fought for the Union and I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the Civil War. :)

Edit: You should stop using words you don’t understand. Research the Insurrection Act of 1807 and then tell me why none of the J6ers were charged with its violation.

[Xuperman]

There was NO INSURRECTION on J6. That has been clearly defined and NO ONE has been charged of that crime.....in any legal aspect possible.

HOWEVER, it was a severely horrific day.....AND FEDERAL CRIMES most certainly were properly prosecuted.

Some of the Trump *pardons" were an AMERICAN EMBARRASSMENT.
