It makes me laugh to see Repubs claiming the DOJ and FBI are being weaponized by Biden and the Dems.

Where were they for four years of Trump going through Attorneys General to find one that would do what he wanted? Bill Barr acted like he was Trumps personal lawyer, even stating that "we" haven't decided to claim Executive Privilege over something Trump did. Sorry I can't remember what, there are a thousand things Trump did incorrectly (illegally) this one got lost in the mayhem. There are a thousand photos of them together, talking and scheming, I do not recall even one photo of Garland and Biden together. Hell, Barr appeared on White House announcements with Trump to add commentary or explain what was going on.

And what Barr did to the Mueller report was beyond belief. How did that man not get disbarred or punished for that move is unbelievable. He was a lying POS his whole tenure with Trump, meaning that he fit in well.

Trump wanted the FBI and the military to swear allegiance to him, to be loyal and have his back, but the Dems are being accused of weaponizing. What a crock.

foreign and domestic.

IF tRump can be proved a traitor, as evidence suggests he is, then the DOJ and President are sworn to use all weapons at their disposal to deal with it.

So WHAT IF DEMs are pulling out the stops to stop the crook (who REALLY tried to steal the election) from ever harming America again?

SO WHAT?

These arseholes have been shooting up churches, schools, shopping malls. These righteous groups are defending a maniac who only cares about himself and let over 1 million Americans die so his "optics" wouldn't look bad during COVID.

SO WHAT if DEMs finally get fed up and fight back?

WE DID NOT START THIS, but we WILL FINISH IT.

Don't slap this Donkey and not expect the bite or kick that follows.

Self defense, defense of America sometimes requires fighting back.


Rethuglican blow hards shouldn't have started something they can't finish.


TOO BAD FOR THEM.

who don't think the standards they apply to everyone else should apply to them. They don't understand irony, inconsistency, they simply aren't self-reflective. Like a 2 year old who wants what he wants and doesn't have the capacity or interest in considering another person's point of view. Except these guys will never grow up. In fact since Trump came along, they are regressing.

They'll relentlessly persecute their political opponents and claim it's "tit for tat" along with the usual projective nonsense.

But we knew this already. We knew they'd use the DOJ and FBI against any of their perceived enemies as soon as they possibly could, if they regain power. So we better do all we can to make sure they do not regain power.
