You're absolutely right, Payne, big corporations shouldn't hide behind woke slogans but should actually practice what they... wait, what? You think that it's actually good that CEOs have big vroom vroom planes that they should burn all the fossil fuels for, and that they all have white CEOs, and you're angry they aren't loud and outspoken like you about how good those things are? Well, okay, then.

I'm so sick of all these woke communist corporations telling us what to do! They have way too much power over us!

SPECIAL CARTOON: FBI IS THE NEW GESTAPO

We at GrrrGraphics are on vacation this week, but the FBI raid on Trump’s home was outrageous and shocking. It deserved a cartoon, so I dashed one out.


If it wasn’t clear before, it’s now crystal clear that the FBI works for the Democrat Party. Hillary egregiously broke the law, yet former FBI Director Comey gave her a pass. Fifty top leaders of the security agencies swore to a judge that Hunter’s laptop was Russian propaganda. It was a lie. Why are they not now being prosecuted for perjury?

Trump supporters get the book tossed at them for minor process errors. Hunter Biden commits felonies, smokes crack, launders money, and gets it on with Russian hookers and the FBI protects him instead of prosecuting him. Joe Biden is as dirty as his son, but he suffers no consequences either. Criminals who get away with their crimes will commit more of them. They will continue to make a mockery of justice until they are stopped.

Biden and his party have repeatedly shown that they are all-too willing to target their political opponents and they enjoy using the FBI to humiliate them. The FBI is the muscle that protects the D.C. Swamp. We saw 30 armed FBI agents storm Mar-a-Lago to seize documents. They even cracked Trump’s safe. (It was empty). All of this was done with a questionable warrant. Trump’s lawyers were not allowed to observe what was done during the raid.

Why was the FBI involved at all? Surely the question of whether or not Trump had White House papers could have easily been solved quietly. At the most, it should have been a matter for the Secret Service, not the FBI. But the Democrats wanted another drama show and sure enough, the marxist mainstream media are already calling Trump a criminal.

This gross abuse of power and further weaponization of our justice system is a sign of Democrat desperation. They do not want Trump to run again and so they will invent a reason to rope him in with criminal charges—thus preventing him from running for president again.

The FBI is a disgrace. When I hear from the talking heads that there are problems at the FBI, but there are still plenty of good agents, I say bull. Any honorable people left working for the FBI at this point should resign. Agencies such as the FBI and IRS create fear among the Democrats’ political enemies. The FBI is now America’s Gestapo or KGB. They are enforcing the dictates of a third world banana republic. Yes, that’s what America has become.

We need to break up the FBI completely. Let’s hope Trump does just that when he’s back in office.

Really just a great sign of how much Ben has abandoned any pretense of being libertarian, like there isn't a lot separating libertarians from your average Republican but most of them at least are against drug laws and criminalizing prostitution. Going "he smoked crack and had sex with hookers, he should be locked up!" is loving pathetic moral majority Republicanism.

quote:

Holy poo poo, I wonder how Ben saw the warrant when nobody else has so far? This is groundbreaking information, he should be posting the text of the warrant and explaining why it's questionable!

quote:

Yes, lawyers are usually not present when a search warrant is executed, because usually the cops do not inform people ahead of time when they will be executing it. I guess you could coincidentally be having your lawyer over for a chat when a search warrant is executed, but that's pretty rare and I'm almost positive they wouldn't be allowed to observe anyway.

He lists smoking crack and having sex with hookers as seperate from felonies. What felonies did he commit, Ben? Surely he must have done worse than smoking the devil's rock and having non-marital sex, Ben. We sure wouldn't want someone with a drug addiction who sleeps with people other than his wife anywhere near power now would we, Ben?

X-Files conservatives are more conspiracy theory libertarians, believing that the government has too much power, that the FBI is inherently corrupt and should be destroyed, and that adult men should be able to choose to have sex with any alien of any age

Political cartoonist conservatives are much more Andy Griffiths conservatives, believing that everything would be all right if only all power were in the hands of wise Christian father figures and no black people existed

The praetorian guard was heavily involved in the selection of a number of emperors, and outright assassinated at least one and replaced him with their own preferred candidate, and told the senate to deal with it. The most famous of these was caligula tho so I'm not sure it's the comparison ben is looking for.

Huh. I actually started to cite Russian law (which tries to ensure the cops don't "find" anything that wasn't there), but I suppose it's more liberal than US search warrant rules.

The praetorian guard were the emperor's body guards who also played a big political role, for example helping Caligula to succeed Tiberius and eventually turning against him. Just like FBI and Trump :v:
