Re: The Comey Cover-up

Wake me up when they figure out the FBI doesn't have the foreign intelligence assets of the CIA or the domestic surveillance capabilities of the NSA and that Michael Rogers' involvement in Durham's investigation and common sense would suggest James Clapper and John Brennan are just as complicit as Comey.

Not that I expect to be woken up anytime soon - with Brennan's protégé Gina Haspel installed as head of the CIA, after strong recommendations and approval from both Brennan and Clapper and a ton of the usual suspects, Comey looks to be the one getting thrown under the bus. Trump, maddeningly, still seems to believe that these people can be trusted with the power to identify and deal with threats against the nation without accepting they identified Trump himself as a threat to the nation. It's not just a few bad apples in the FBI who were out to get Trump, there's an entire institutional rot there.

Nothing new in the CIA and the NSA. That is why I shed no tears about reports of a dead agent.

Nancy Lugosi and Bill Maher are two of the worst people on the planet. What person with a shred of humanity could watch those two chimps for longer than a few seconds?

Almost all the hive dwellers yearn for more Pelousi and Maher...

Hmmmm . . . Media to brand 2nd Ammendment supporters at Virginia rally “Neo-Nazis” and/or “White Supremecists”?

NBC reporter spurs outrage as he falsely labels the VA gun rally neo-Nazi

QUOTE:

An NBC reporter went on to social media on Sunday and characterized the pro-gun rally slated for Monday in Richmond, Virginia, as a “white nationalist rally.”

“Reporters covering tomorrow’s white nationalist rally in Virginia, I’m absolutely begging you: Verify information before you send it out tomorrow, even if it’s a very sensational rumor you heard from a cop. Don’t become a hero in neo-Nazi propaganda circles with made-up stuff,” NBC reporter Ben Collins wrote on Twitter.

I can see where the media would want to paint everyone who supports gun rights as a "Neo-Nazi" or "White Supremacist". 2nd Amendment supporters MUST be portrayed as the bad guys.

Well F capitalism, especially the f’ing part that brought all this silly f’ing hair color, these over f’ing sized rings, these f’ing big black f’ing glasses, this f’ing scarf and f’ing clothes to the market. F’ the f’ing patriarchal system that brought me to this f’ing place. I’m f’ing loud. I’m f’ing proud! I might have more of an f’ing vocabulary if it wasn’t for the f’ing patriarchy! F!!!!

And I notice she's not spouting this drivel in Cairo, where she said she's from.

#5.1 mary on 2020-01-20 11:01 (Reply)

Good point. But maybe it's Cairo, NY. It's right next to Woodstock.

I'll bet she has friends who aren't talking to her because she left something of that list. Just not woke enough.

You may remember that Trump was set to release all of the known data and documents around the Russian collusion affair which includes information on many of our politicians directly involved in both the fraud and the coverup. He should do it! Do it before the impeachment trial. And include any research into the Democrats in congress who have been stretching the law for years AND their families. So it! Release everything. Then let them deal with it.

Trump was elected to shake all the boxes. The fun part is the empty boxes get pitched into the fireplace. The gnashing of administrative teeth is really loud as they fear dooooommnm. Or worse they are relocated someplace out in Missouri, Nebraska, or OMG Wyoming.

Re: Martin Luther King

"We suspect he’d also be distressed by the hypersensitivity and growing political correctness of today’s discussions about race — the near-impossibility of honest dialogue and the insistence by too many to label any who disagree with them as racists."

Oh please. The author of this article is trying to deflect blame against the millions of hateful dangerous blacks, who never hesitate to attack white people both verbally and physically.
America doesn't have a race problem, America has a black problem.
