    Are you trying to argue that the FBI under Trump was working at Trump's behest? This is insane. The proper criticism of Trump would be that he perpetually hired people that hated him and tried to undermine him. This was/is pathetic of Trump. I've never voted for him for this and other reasons.

    Hahahahahahahaha. Trump hired people that hated him when he had full control of the senate and could've hired anyone he wanted. Trump by his own words said that he only hired the "best people" and most "loyal people." Are you saying that trump is a fraud and a liar now?




    Imagine if the CEO of a business tried telling folks that his employees weren't responsible for their actions cuz he didn't actually hire them to be competent.

    Amazing brain rot

    I am saying Trump is an idiot who is susceptible to flattery so he hired people who hated/undermined him. From working with social media companies to silence his supporters, to trying to hide Biden Family crimes, Trump's FBI always worked against him. This is proven by the fact Biden left Wray in charge of the FBI.....

    I am saying you are an idiot for thinking Trump's FBI was working for Trump. You also failed to explain why the pipe bomber hasn't been identified.

    LOL yes i'm a idiot who thinking the guy an employer hired to do a job shouldn't be held be responsible for doing their jobs. LOL do you people realize how fkin nuts you people sound? Outside of politics you would be laughed at for your deranged takes.

    The funny thing that MAGA always forget was that it was Trump who was colluding with social media companies in 2020 to suppress covid coverage and to downplay it anyway they wanted.

    It wasn't the evil fbi that was colluding with twitter but it was trumps own white house that sent thousands of emails to twitter/Facebook to censor peoples opinions

    The fact that Ray wasn't replaced under Biden doesn't prove anything at all. That isn't evidence.

    According to the reasoning you have here the only way to show that the FBI head would be not a Democratic operative would be if he allowed Trump to skate free on a series of possible crimes.

    Problem is that enough evidence has been presented to get Trump indicted for serious offenses.

    Trump was given preferential treatment by the FBI. All he had to do was choose to comply with lawful subpoenas, not instruct justice, etc, and he would not have been indicted.

    Trump made different choices and now he's on trial.

    I see the defense that Trump is an idiot so he shouldn’t be held liable for his actions is being trotted out again.

    I posted these words from our first President on Jan 6, 2021 and they continue to be very relevant

    "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
    Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it."
    17th September 1796, George Washington.

    "Trump is an idiot and shouldn't be held responsible for his actions while at the same time only trump can save the country from the evil democrats"

    I just don't get how people's brains become so broken when they speak politics. In no other setting would they ever use the same talking points

    The sad part is outside of politics none of these folks would be making the same arguments. Literally nobody. I own a successful CPAP company and if one of my nurses wrongly fitted a patient the medical board would come and chew my ass out. If I tried blaming the deep state for the patients injury I would have my business closed upon.

    It's just pathetic how deep of a hole these folks have dug themselves in.

    The fact that he's an idiot furthers the rationale to prosecute him and create a standard for future "wink wink idiot" politicians to avoid.

    An unqualified idiot solely sustained by a cult of personality is the worst abuse of the democratic process. We might as well allow illegals, foreign born, convicted rapists, murderers and thieves qualify as president if they're popular and charismatic enough.

    anyone who thinks white privilege isn't a real thing just needs to look at this post. If this would've been a colored man making the same joke the GOP would be demanding the judge revoke his bail.

    Did the DOJ throw trump a bone by not adding an indictment for this day to his long list of them? That would likely end any aspirations he has for being on the ballot.

    The deep state brought in the guy who faked the Michigan kidnapping to fake the J6 riot. Information Operation -- look it up.

    "Deep state" lol. Can you imagine how easy life would be if you could blame a invisible entity for all your issues ?

    You don't pay the irs taxes you owe? Blame the deep state!
    You accidentally run someone over? Blame the deep state!
    You rape a innocent girl? Blame the deep state!
    You run a stop sign? Blame the deep state!

    No matter how many conspiracies you dipshits spin your cult leader was in charge of the deep state. Every single government agency was staffed by trump and only trump. The fbi director who did these promotions was hand installed by Donald Trump

    I wish life was as easy as MAGATs claim. Just blame the deep state for all my **** uups!
