Holy cow, I'm loving this
Thousands of FBI agents have been asked to fill a survey detailing their involvement in January 6 cases
Questions, obtained by CBS News, ask what role the respondent may have played in any cases, such as acting as an agent, providing management support or collecting online data. The survey also asks if the respondent made any arrests, conducted interviews, participated in search warrants, testified in court or appeared before a grand jury.
The questionnaires are to be completed and submitted by supervisors by Tuesday afternoon.

Tomorrow.

There is no room for lies here .It's every man for himself. Lying to FBI is criminal. (Crooked judge Emmet Sullivan put Michael Flynn through hell.)They went after innocent protesters in their homes, armed with assault rifles and dogs, with search warrants to look for anything else to indict a protester. One of them ,Jeremy Brown ,jailed for 7 years was found with a sawed off shotgun ,a short barreled rifle, and a CD containing a template he had used in a debriefing after serving honorably in Iraq.

Boy those agents could be in a lot of Schiff . How many will eventually spill the beans as to exactly what happened in the setup of J6 by the Feds, Pelosi, Bowser and probably Kamala?

I'll take a dig on Ijebos who listed 3 bipartisan immigration bills that the wicked evil smelly Republicans including Trump scuttled. Apparently this was the cause of open borders that globalists like George Soros tout.

Border crossings are now down 93% says the border Czar. A bill was not needed.

Russia poses no threat to the United States, the Ukrainian war has demonstrated how wildly exaggerated their military capabilities are.

Greenland is already an allie, they already allow US military bases there. An agreement for mineral extraction rights can also be made, it's already part of NATO, neither China nor Russia will dare to take them.
Unless through diplomacy and trade agreements, if that were to happen then that's a massive skill issue on the part of the USA.

But Trump being unpredictable and insistence on Greenland joining the USA is the problem. I will not put it past him to attempt to invade, and it's concerning you may see nothing wrong with that.
Don't think is going to invade He is obviously concerned about China getting hold of her mineral wealth.
He won't attack a country controlled by a NATO.
If he declared war ,he would have to get congressional approval.

Panama. That's a different story. Is China is doing what NATO does to Russia,encroaching ?

Ukraine bid to join the EU was to improve their miserly economy from where Russia left them ($3.5k GDP per capita) to where all their neighbours are, simple. What does Poland do better than Ukraine to be 5 times as rich per capita

EU has done it's work and has been found righteous and unimpeachable in its doings having uplifted all it's members economic situation. US should do the same for Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, El-Salvador etc and stop all this reh reh reh
$77 billion cash from Biden . Yet they couldn't get Trump funds for a border wall which would have seriously curtailed drugs, hunsn trafficking and illegal immigratio.

Again, here you go talking without a full understanding.
You seem to do that alot.
You might want to go review his posts.

And it's weird what your view of what attacking is.
Basilico writes 100's of posts weekly spreading lies in which he is hoping people get locked up or arrested and somehow because you think(wrongly) he doesn't attack people that makes it ok?
Who does more harm to society, the people who spread lies that lead to being dying and getting hurt or the people who call that person out and call him an idiot?
They never thought Trump would win, in their arrogance they left paper trails all over.
They would never have achieved all that without media collusion. The same biased media you believe in.
Is there any monumental claim that I make here if proven right could make you change to republican.Any?

A day after signing steep new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, President Donald Trump acknowledged what economists, members of Congress and even some of his own aides — in their previous lives — have been saying all along: Americans may find themselves paying the costs.

He must be a dolt if he didn't know raising taxes would increase consumer prices.

I asked to get a vibe for your actual beliefs or belief system, underneath your politics. Assuming you're a person with one.

Do you understand that this answer makes me conclude you have non. There is no person beneath the persona of basilico.

Your beliefs start and end at "making the (EU) libs cry" including potentially invading an allie country for absolutely no reason, & potentially spilling blood over it.
Thing is, you are looking for evidence that Trump is a fascist as they said he was.
At least you are civil. I have explained my beef with the EU, not with the Europeans.
When it comes to Greenland , Russia and China also would like a piece of it
Trump wanting it is largely the untapped rare earth metals desired for electronics components and oil.
Theoretically missile defense system at Greenland will protect America if fired from Russia soil. Russia has submarines that would quickly fire from international waters Security argument is not the real reason.

This is easy to say when you’re supporting evil
This is not about picking sides. It’s not a debate. Or a friendly match.It’s people lives and livelihoods.

I was right. This here is just talk for you guys. You have no stake. That why you can post anything and think you deserve a civil response.

Basil was just asked if he would support Trump invading the EU. And he all but said yes. Imagine if someone whose live would be impacted by such an invasion or someone who could even lose their life in such an invasion was reading it? You expect them to sit down and have a nice chat with him about why the invasion is a light issue that ends on Nairaland. For you it’s a difference in opinion. For the people whose lives you’re so nonchalantly discussing, it’s financial ruin, insecurity and possible war they are not interested in being a part of.

You have no depth. It’s almost bordering on stupidity if such simple concepts have to be explained to you.

Pls fvck off too. And stay ignored.
Stop putting words in my mouth. I only have a problem with EU mandarins and their God complex.
I mentioned Belgium has right wing to the chagrin of the unelected bureaucrats that I surely detest.
The EU is no longer about economic cooperation between states but a power grab by globalists.
If Trump invades Greenland, I guess their lives will still be the same, Denmark has pretty high living standards too.
His intentions are driving the snobbish EU elites nuts, and that's what I like.
Personally I think the Greenland people would have more freedom under America than under the EU.

If he ever decides to invade, then yes.

Will you throw your support for it, and try to defend it or do you have a line you don't cross and condemn such an act (if it were to happen)?
I like the way Trump makes the Europeans go mad .
Belgium now has a right wing premier..
Joins Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands where right wingers have made strides to the chagrin of the EU mandarins.
Anything that drives the EU bonkers is music to my ears.

Will you support an American invasion of Greenland?

Because the Dens have rejected the offer to buy Greenland and the people of Greenland have voted they don't want to be part of America.

So the last option on the table is an Imperial conquest by Trump.
More evidence he is a fascist, a dictator a Nazi and a Hitler?

The condoms to Gaza were stated by the WH press spox . She would not lie on such a matter,because someone who knows better would have denied.instead it's the enemedia casting doubts on that issue because they know half the country will believe them.
DOGE if unconstitutional should have been blocked by a judge The president should have powers to create federal bodies . The purpose seems noble enough , DOGE is only there for a specified time and they are not drawing a salary. They are not spending your money. It seems you have other reasons for hating DOGE.
I post here for my own references and to bash liberals.

cococandy:
Condoms to Gaza that is proven to be a lie? You’re too damn gullible.

DOGE is an unconstitutional organization that is not approved by congress. American congress controls the American purse. The fact that you think anyone off the street should have access to such sensitive information because they cozied up to the president is a clear indication that you’re not using all your neurons the way that God intended. Now it’s up to Elon to pay US bonds or we go into a default?. There’s a reason why that never depended on one only person.

Why don’t we get rid of congress then, let Trump be one arm of the govt and Elon the other arm. I don’t know if you’re intentionally this obtuse or you just have an evil streak that lets you justify whatever nonsense you feel like but I’m done with your stupidity. Pls don’t mention me again. Because it’s been difficult staying civil with you.

You think I’m working to pay into social security and the federal govt workers in my life are doing their jobs earnestly so that an egomaniacal South African oligarch can come without clearance to have access to our social security benefits and paychecks?

And you’re sitting in 4x4 cubicle somewhere unaffected, telling us how it’s a good thing. Either you’re dumb or you’re a terrible person. I’ve tried to give you the benefit of doubt but not anymore.

Pls fvck off.

I agree with you.
I'm convinced Raumdeuter doesn't believe the stuff he currently argues. I think there is more going on with him.
He used to think Trump was a racist with racist supporters.
Just read his own words not too long ago.


The most charitable I can be is he sees it as a team sport and he must defend his side at all costs.
It's troll like.

But I'm really not sure how anyone can knowingly support or even argue in favor of people who are out to harm people who look like them esp. their children.
Because I think he knows better it makes him more deplorable.

IMHO, you won't get anywhere with him as he's very practiced in his intellectual dishonesty.
A lot of people switch parties ,stop shouting eureka because he once posted as a republican.

This is clownish. The persistence of drugs is entrenched by demand and supply.

Drugs are finding their way into the country because Americans are taking them. If drugs were coming in from Greenland and you blew Greenlands to smithereens, the supply will just come from elsewhere.

The problem is not the origin of the drugs, it's where the demand is. But you are a MAGAT, you just scream TDS and close your brain.
There are addictive drugs that hook you the first time as I've heard. Drug mules will give you a day or two free supply knowing on the third day you will sell your goats and chicken. A lot of hard drug pushers were enticed by someone who knew what he/she was doing. That's it for demand and supply. Weed like you seem to be high takes time before one is addicted.Of course if you are doing weed it's easy to graduate to heroine or cocaine or fentanyl.

Mexico esp can stop drug trafficking or they can be forced to. Which is what these tarriffs are all about. Do something else your economy will be affected.
That's rocket science. I'm not surprised you are just hoping the effort to halt illegals and drug trafficking by Trump fail miserably.

FBi in the cross hairs . An assistant special agent in charge of FBI opened the investigation into Trump elector case. He went out of protocol. Senator Grassely has questioned and provided details with supporting emails. This is huge.He mentioned this agent in his opening statement at Kash Patel nomination hearing.

How much hate does Trump harbour.
He sent Ric Grennel to Venezuela..Ric got Maduro to release 11 Americans who had been detained there Joe Biden neither Blinken had mentioned them nor offered any help while in Venezuela prisons
Grenell and Trump also announced on Saturday that Venezuela has agreed to repatriate their citizens after the mission, including paying for the return flights. That is a huge win.

Impeach Trump. He is a danger to America.

it called foolishness, president Trump is far ahead intellectually compare to any of them both here and the media so when he is on his mission they can't comprehend what he is doing, it will take them another four years to understand and in some cases never hence the reason they are always fuming in chaos.
Thought so. Trump's detractors are the wealthy who fund the perpetually offended zombie class to protest everything.
In a way Trump has to crush the criminals who weaponized the justice system to go after him and his supporters. All of them to the last man Once he is out and another of their minions takes over the democrats will continue their lawfare. Judge Chutkan dismissal of his case was without prejudice, they will reopen it.
Trump has to let people especially democrats know that he is going after the corruptocrats only. He has to ensure whatever he went through should never befall anyone else ever
He should expose the paedophiles who abused minors procured by Epstein and Ghislaine. The crooks won't let him breathe if they get into power.There are a lot of clean democrats who can take over and govern justly, doesn't include Adam Schiff though.
If he didn't run for presidency and kept out of politics he would be playing his golf , promoting MMA and wrestling Hulk Hogan in his casino(s).

If you told anyone last year that Elon was buying Trump’s election so that he can come in to control America’s purse and the access to federally employed citizens income, they’d have called you a conspiracy theorist.

If in his ignorance he misses a federal bond, America will be in default. That would be catastrophic.

Not to mention the power they’ve so freely given him over American citizens when not a single soul voted for him.
Donald Trump Jr had a huge sway in JD Vance selection. Jr has a lot of California and Silicon valley friends. His ex Kim Guilfoyle was Newscum s wife at one time.
Silicon valley influence in Trump team.
Peter Thiel owns Palantir which has a lucrative DOD contract, one of three companies approved to host on cloud govt systems.
Elon Musk. I won't go there.
David Sacks VC . Trump AI chief and best friends with Musk, cofounded PayPal with him.
Ramaswamy.. Has left DOGE but was part of the inner circle.His billionaire running mate will fund opponents of senators who don't support RFK Jr.

These billionaires obviously want to control govt. AI is the next frontier .
Biden wanted to control AI through Google, Microsoft OpenAI and Meta AI .Biden wanted govt to control crypto currency through CBDCs.
Trump wants AI sort of decentralized. Same as with cryptos.

His billionaire friends including his son want a permanent influence in govt obviously. That is no crime at all, other players have done that.
Zuckerbucks literally had an office at the WH during Obama time,as was Eric Schmidt former Google CEO . The billionaires need to maintain their wealth. They don't want to be like two huge companies that failed for not adapting to new technology ie Kodak and Nokia mobile phone divisions. Other dotcom companies crashed .

The talk of billionaires exerting influence is not new.
The monkeys in the forest have changed but the forest remains the same.

Who are the benevolent billionaires, the Trump era billionaires or the globalist George Soros type.

Elon did not just gain access to treasury system that is in charge of payments to all federal workers, social security etc. all the news agencies are lying. The director was not placed on leave after he refused to give Elon access. And even resigned. Not it Is all a lie.

Only you and your copied posts from threads can be trusted.

ATP you’re just a silly troll
Elon heads DOGE. How you expect him to cut govt waste if he can't see where the money is going ? This guy didn't want to give him access
Too bad I can't edit after this post , but hasn't Elon discovered they was sending money to terrorists?
Don't remind me of condoms to Gaza too.

Canada and Mexico have announced retaliatory tariffs on US goods following President Donald Trump's announcement of steep levies on the two countries and China on Saturday. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that tariffs against Canada would put Americans' jobs at risk.

Read more: https://cnn.it/4hjJKVU
What do the tariffs mean? High prices for American consumers. I don't see it that way
It's now a foregone conclusion that Mexico , Canada and China are complicit at the highest levels of govt in accelerating illegal immigrants invasion and drugs into America.
China is deliberately facilitating the manufacture and flow of fentanyl into America
Mexico and Canada can simply stop aiding drug and illegals.
China can simply close down their fentanyl factories.
Why don't they want to do that ,why they have to be jolted into action .

Mexico cartels have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations. Trump can send the military to take out their leaders Bin Laden style..Doubt anyone will be against that except TDS sufferers.
