It should be for former top brass at the FBI as well as Wray. They have become a partisan organization. First move them out of DC. If they are not supposed to be partisan move them somewhere else. Instead of becoming a wing of the Democratic party they need to do their intended job.

What an excellent list. Thanks for making it. Thanks for sharing it.

Blanket pardons for everyone on that list.

Merry Christmas!

Bug-eyed, paranoid, corrupt, Kash Patel.

You see, Donald has lists. Therefore Kash has lists. Therefore the people that work for Kash have lists. Therefore Kash's crazy MAGA friends have lists. And therefore, sooner or later, we get down to lists at the level of RCADE and ZED.

#4 Zed,

You really should consider seeing a therapist. That level of paranoia is unhealthy.

Not even Newsworthy - just the facts.

When did it become that way? In 2015 when Comey told the public about the ongoing investigation into Hillary but never mentioned the ongoing investigation into trump?

And you should buy yourself a chinese-made maga hat since there's no end to the benefit of the doubt you give him, no matter how many times he makes you look like a fool.

The blind devotion republicans have for Trump is absolutely baffling.

I was way too young during Reagan's presidency.

For those who know. Was the Republican devotion to Reagan the same as their devotion to Trump?

It went in the same direction; Corporate Personhood for the Oligarchy's businesses... and Reaganites were unapologetic in their devotion to money. Any money, any way.

But Trumpers are even more Cultish now, what with the far right Evangelicals having further digressed into what amounts to actual Idolatry... and with the Corporations burying Walter Cronkite with his stupid factual, reality-based democratic journalism in a pile of Corporate Earnings a thousand miles high.

#11 | Posted by Corky at 2024-12-10 05:32 PM

And in many senses using the People's Common Assets to do it; land, airwaves, tax breaks, etc.

If Corporations had to pay the People for all that, the People would soon have a Surplus.

Vegas must have odds on our democracy outlasting (or not) the coming 4-year bizarro assaut on our 200+ year amalgam of diverse customs, laws and the Republic we used to allegedly stand for. Magic 8-Ball sez: Outlook not so good.

@#11 ... and Reaganites were unapologetic in their devotion to money. ...

OK, that is where you lost me.

"That" being any manner of equivalence of the Reagan Era to the Trump Era.

And, yeah, I said it, the Trump Era.

OK, I will admit, back in the day, the Reagan Era is why I registered as a Republican in my town.

But that was then, and this is now.

Yeah, the Reagan Era was about money (can you say Yuppies? I knew you could).

But i will also add that the Reagan Era was not about a full-fledged assault upon Democracy in the Country.

Indeed, it seems that many MAGA folk want to push those old Reagan-Republicans out of office.

Actually it was when the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.

It's not a blind devotion to Trump, it just looks that way compared to the temper tantrum left whose complete meltdown after Hillary lost in 2016 has never gone away.

Actually the FBI spied on the Russian spies who Trumpy "campaign" was communicating with.

Pro tip: Don't communicate with Russian spies if you don't want the FBI to spy on you.

#19 | Posted by donnerboy at 2024-12-11 03:18 PM

" it was when the FBI spied on the Trump campaign."

So is it your view the FBI should STOP surveillance when, say, Jeff Sessions walks into the Russian's room?

Or is Fox News not framing the truth like it's the truth?

I mean...The Rubio Report detailed over 100 meetings between Team Trump and the Russians, and to this day, some Republicans are still bleating "Hoax", when the Republicans ADMITTED IT.

So should the FBI stop recording Russians if, say, Kash Patel walks into the room?

FishPoosie is in full denial of reality.

His posts are nothing more than desperate attempts at ignoring reality.

You stupid trumpers cried for the past four years about Trump's loss.

Do you have any sense of self awareness?

Also. Thank you Corky for #11 & 12.

They will be desperately trying to rewrite history for the next 4 years.

Because they are obviously embarrassed by getting caught doing what they actually did otherwise they would gloat and boast about it ... as they do.
