They may have raised our taxes and given themselves and their rich friends tax cuts but at least it's not socialism.

Are the FBI people who were all in favor of those Clinton-damaging leaks in the late general election going to have a change of heart in 2020 after having their genitalia repeatedly and gleefully stomped on by the Trump admin at every turn since then, or are they just as terrible and worthy of embarrassing STDs as the rest of Trump's base

the FBI are a bunch of chuds who never hosed (the worst kind of chud) and they are absolutely still sending email forwards to each other called "fw: fw: fw: fw: fw: socialism FAILS" featuring AOC wearing, inexplicably, a sombrero.

Story goes that the NYC FBI office was full to the brim with bitter chuds who've hated Clinton's guts since the 90's and are tight with Rudy Giuliani. Theory goes that one of the reasons that Comey gave his now-infamous press conference about re-opening the email investigation is that he knew that if he tried to keep it under wraps the NYC crew would leak it. So Comey was put in the position of either making a public spectacle of it days before the election or having it leak anyway and make it look like he was in the tank for Hillary.

“Tight with Giuliani” Hoo, boy, what an association to have. Would have been kind of nice for Comey to say something.

Any particular incident they were pissed off at Clinton for or was it just that Bill dared to win and they deserved to suffer for it?

As far as I know the whole story is just rumors and innuendo, I have no idea whether it's true and I've read no sourced reporting on it.

What motions? How has anything they've done meaningfully impeded the rapid expansion of the reactionary authoritarian executive?

Doing business with kingpins and helping them expand their operations while rolling up their competition or low level flunkies so maintain the appearance of being tough on crime is like, literally what law enforcement is and literally what the FBI and esp CIA spend all day doing

buying a house doesnt help you at all anymore because the standard deduction is larger and overshadows the incentive to itemize

I think assuming all agents in law enforcement are irredeemable and corrupt while also assuming they are spending years and millions of dollars arresting close associates of the president for no reason other than "status quo" is laughably stupid.

Okay lol I'll just sit here and wait for a republican cop to bring down God's gift to republican cops

Spending years and years and tens of millions on performative bullshit is literally what conservatism is all about, just look at every single investigation done by any conservative run House in the last 3 decades

What's there to be afraid of lol, do you really think this is gonna end in a grand spectacle where Trump is finally taken down for his numerous crimes, like some Sorkian jackoff fantasy? I'm just not putting any faith in systems designed to empower dipshit rich white reactionaries to punish the ultimate dipshit rich white reactionary

Yeah, no in-between. If I don't call the FBI scum, I'm an idiot who is beating off to Trump in cuffs. This mentality is everything wrong with people.

I live in a world where I know poo poo is hosed but have hope that it can improve. Sorry that I'm not calling all police the Gestapo. I seriously can't wrap my head around people like you because what it sounds like you're saying is "law doesn't matter, gently caress everything." I don't think or live like that. I have a family and want the future to be better so I'm looking for that, not endless chaos.

No, ACAB is the only correct opinion, but there's a broad range of stupid ones.

I'm a police abolitionist because I have hope that society can be run on something other than fear and terror visited on the powerless by the powerful.

Law enforcement in the United States is primarily oriented toward occupying and intimidating marginalized communities. If they do good and necessary things, it's to maintain the status quo (and sometimes purely for public relations).

No one is going to respect you or give you the time of day for this "Uhhh wuhhh muh cops buhhh well I'm sorry I'm such a nice person." Quit your childish whining.

In a considerable part of the country, the cops call ICE on families and get them thrown into concentration camps. The Nazi hyperbole ain't really hyperbole at this point, friend
