  • More well reasoned takes.

    I'm lumping the sycophants in with the leader. He is the leader. He susceptible to influence, and easy to manipulate, but give him credit. There is no way he hasn't already had people killed. He's had the kgb looking out for him for decades, and a lot of the people around him, too. Some of the sycophants are so shamelessly devout because they are ideological allies, some, it's because they're compromised. Someone, maybe, got to their families. Too loose of an end for my tastes, and I think those around Biden would see it similarly. I hope you're right for everyone's sake. I think you understate Trump's role in the criminal enterprise and his willingness to use violence.

  • Appreciate your comment. Nobody can prove something that is a matter of intuition. Can't prove what anyone might do in the future.

    You agree, at a minimum, with me that there are clear conflicts of interest.

    That fact alone is a national security risk.

    People often lose their security clearance if they go into debt or get arrested. It's not because of the risk they are bad with money or even that they've committed a crime. It's because they are in a position where they are vulnerable to being exploited.

    And it's a sliding scale. The more someone knows, or the more control someone might wield, there is increasingly less tolerance in the national security world for possible avenues of exploitation.

    Ex presidents are loose ends on the nation's closest secrets, right? Also, potentially very powerful, even after their terms end, right?

    Trump absolutely has a history of demanding loyalty and trading favors. "Hey, Joe, as you know, we have your son, Hunter, and we're holding him over there, and we have some of the boys watching him, and we were wondering if you wouldn't come out and publically say US weapons are prolonging the war in Europe, and that we need to leave well enough alone...."

    We have literally heard that rhetoric from Trump with our own ears.

    Are you the same person that was trying to both sides this? You can't compare turning over the former president's criminal kid to a bunch of alt right trumpists and Russian loyalists with turning over the ex president's criminal kid to lib dems, Merrick Garland and Jim Comey types. They bag this dude's shit when he travels. You think they were going to let him let Trump keep his kid?

    Edit: : we will see after The noise dies down and insiders start spilling the beans about what happened in the room. My confidence level that the national security conflict of interest was a principal consideration is very high.

  • “Weiss is a COWARD, a smaller version of Bill Barr, who never had the courage to do what everyone knows should have been done,” the former president wrote of U.S. Attorney David Weiss. “He gave out a traffic ticket instead of a death sentence. Because of the two Democrat Senators in Delaware, they got to choose and/or approve him. Maybe the judge presiding will have the courage and intellect to break up this cesspool of crime. The collusion and corruption is beyond description. TWO TIERS OF JUSTICE!”

  • No this is faux outrage.

    These people get angry at literally anything they are told to get angry at.

  • It takes too much time and resources. A lie runs halfway around the world before the truth laces up it's shoes.

    Manipulators and liars need to be stopped by a higher authority. I'm fine with that authority being civil liability, the criminal justice system obviously sucks at it. Let's get serious and stop letting this stochastic terrorism go unpunished.

    Lose your dad to Fox News conspiracies? Should be able to sue Fox News for child support. Lose your husband to a mass shooting caused by some deranged Trumper that thinks Paul Pelosi is coming to take our guns? Should be able to sue trump personally for wrongful death. It's not like Fox and Trump don't know what the consequences are.

    Let juries be the arbiters.

    This problem isn't going to be solved without financial liability or violence.

  • How do you mean they misunderstood the point?

    Do you mean like that instead of banning you just squelch them instance by instance, solve the problem that way?

    That doesn't really help disrupt the thing causing the problem. Really just ignoring it.

    I don't know enough about this to have a strong opinion, and again I'm not even sure if that's what you meant. School me.

  • Close but missed it.

    Biden was willing until Trump won because with Trump running the DOJ, letting the DOJ have custody of Biden's son is a massive national security risk.

    That was never going to happen.

  • If Kamala had won, Hunter being in the custody of the DOJ wouldn't be a national security risk.

  • What Joe isn't saying is that he's not going to hand his son over to Trump to be used for ransom and influence over Biden as a former president and that this has fuckalll to do with the merits of the case or interests of criminal justice.

  • This wasn't because of the merits of the case or the interests of justice. This was a national security move. A Russian agent is taking over the DOJ. We're not going to give him the former president's son.

    Lol.
