Media sinking below depravity.
Hegseth mom sent him an email while he was in the divorce process accusing him of mistreating women, unfaithful and an abuser of their rights.....

NYT published the email. This email is private.

What they didn't publish was that his mom wrote the email out of anger like any mom would and that a few days she sent him another email apologizing for her outburst.

Kash Patel nominee for FBI director.
“I regularly used to tell people that the fastest way to move up in the government is to just screw up, and the bigger the screwup, the bigger the promotion. Every person implicated in your mistakes has an interest in covering up what they did, so they will promote you. That means the people at the very top are usually the most immoral, unethical people in the entire agency.”

What he said is the truth and that's why he has been brought in from the outside to clean out the den of corruption that the FBI has become. He is the right guy for the job and 100%.

She’s a woman they’re going to find something wrong with her. Hilary wasn’t likable enough plus “her emails” 🙄. Kamala wasn’t black enough and she laughed too much. I promise you AOC won’t be an exemption.

The only type of woman they would vote for president would be the typical misogyny foot soldier (if at all). But if those type of women live their lives according to the reality they are trying to vote in, they wouldn’t be running for president.
Let's see, I mean four years isn't that much of a long time but a lot can happen within that period

Kash Patel nominee for FBI director. Mass resignations looming. Andrew McCabe one of the main drivers of Russia hoax ran to CNN to claim he is not qualified.
There will be weeping , wailing and gnashing of teeth next year. Instead of FBI doing its job, it turned all it's attention to taking out Trump and crushing the maga movement. Cris Wray turned FBI ino the investigative arm of the democrats and RINOs. His name will live in infamy. He called parents protesting pornographyy in school libraries domestic terrorists and went after them. Praying outside abortion clinics is done by domestic terrorists. J6 protesters he targeted them. He went after Trump soiling Melania underwear in her closet. He sat on laptop from hell and watched Trump get impeached while he knew the Biden were corrupt He played a key role fotmenting J6. He sat on Weiner laptop , which has hundreds of thousands of Hillary Clinton emails. He raided Epstein island and buried whatever bones they found there. He sits on the list of paedophiles who abused children : trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine. Tulsi Gabbard was also put on a terrorist list under Wray.He said 2020 was not rigged, I'm very sure the FBI knew how,when,where and who were the masterminds of the fraud,but Wray sat on it The FBI investigates everything but they don't act on it if the interests of Washington DC swamp are going to be negatively affected.The FBI has been entrapping citizens to commit crimes in order to appear good eg several terror attacks, Michigan Governor kidnap attempt,J6 protests, etc.

Kash Patel. You have a tough job surrounded by weasels and scoundrels. Wray is a prime candidate for the hangman.

Can't wait for Documentaries on how the swamp took control of the govt and finally lost.
Kash Patel worked under Devin Nunes to discover the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign. He authored a report that FBI refused to declassify .A copy of the report sent missing, the Mar a Lago raid was looking for that copy.
He will be thf FBI director? Popcorns futures has never been brighter.
The worst criminal organisation I'm America, FBI will be cleansed , the demons exorcised and banished to Martha's Vineyard where they belong.
Trump team this time is nothing like the 2016 backstabbers.
Director Wray getting done good advice. Remain in DC area.
But Trump appointed the current FBI director, why nominate another person, when the current FBI term has not expired.
With this nomination of Kashyap Patel to FBI and that of Peter Kushner, as Ambassador to France, Trump is surrounding himself with criminals just like himself. The next administration would be full of criminals.

Trump was a novice in matters Washington. Chris Wray was recommended by Gov Christie.
The FBI being the largest funded criminal org in history sought to taint every maga supporter it could . You very well know that if you are a target the FBI will definitely find a crime you committed or a sleazy stunt you pulled.
The democrats thought that they could finish off Trump and his supporters. Little did they know that he had a Guardian angel.

J6 investigation. The Pentagon under Gen Milley intentionally delayed the National Guard reinforcements on J6.

Pelosi and DC mayor had earlier rejected the offer of 10000 Guardsmen because of optics.

Proof that it was a setup. These are the details that will be revealed once there is change of guard.

Loudermilk wrote, “the Subcommittee’s investigation has concluded that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the DC [National Guard] to the Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

“Furthermore,” Loudermilk added, “the Subcommittee also maintains that the DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership
Secretary McCarthy’s failure to communicate the Secretary of Defense’s order to the DCNG Commander – to immediately deploy forces to the Capitol at 3:04 pm.

*Failure of Secretary McCarthy to communicate directly with the DCNG Commander between 2pm and 6pm – IG Report states the calls took place despite both parties stating, under oath, that the calls never took place.

*IG finding that DCNG was not prepared for the Civil Disturbance mission despite the knowledge that Secretary McCarthy had recently received comprehensive briefings on DCNG capabilities and observed rehearsals on Civil Disturbance operations by DCNG personnel.

The blatantly partisan January 6 Committee’s final report, as reported in The Hill, said there was no delay in sending NG troops to the Capitol, but even NPR reported the general in charge said otherwise .

It took more than three hours for former President Donald Trump's Defense Department to approve a request for the D.C. National Guard to intervene in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, the commanding general of the outfit told senators on Wednesday.

Maj. Gen. William Walker testified that he had National Guard troops at the ready and sitting idly for hours before he was finally given authorization to send them into the field. Walker said that the delay was caused at least in part over concerns of the optics of sending uniformed troops to the scene.

This is particularly damning:

"At 1:49 p.m., I received a frantic call from then-chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Steven Sund, where he informed me that the security perimeter at the Capitol had been breached by hostile rioters," Walker testified.

"Chief Sund, his voice cracking with emotion, indicated that there was a dire emergency on Capitol Hill and requested the immediate assistance of as many guardsmen as I could muster."

Walker said he "immediately" alerted Army senior leadership of the request. He was not informed of the required approval from then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller until 5:08 p.m., he said — "3 hours and 19 minutes later."

The same corrupt FBI bought cases against a former democrat Senator and the current Mayor of NY, but cases against Trump and other characters are political witch-hunt in your opinion. Hunter's case has also been in the court by FBI. So don't cry corruption if Biden pardons Hunter and a future Democrat president nominates him to be Secretary of State.
The election of Trump has already and will have massive negative consequences over the next 4 years and beyond if the spineless GOPs in Congress doesn't stand up to Trump.

This whole thing is ridiculous.
And also shows the weakness of Democrats.

Trump comes in and fires Republican Comey whose FBI basically helped him win.
He puts in another Republican Christopher Wray.
Democrats come in and decide to respect the 10 year FBI tenure and keep Trump's FBI pick.
Wray effectively helps push back Trump's investigation.
Republicans think fellow Republican Wray isn't sufficiently Trumpy.
Trump replaces Wray with someone even more Trumpy.

So, while Democrats are trying to honor norms and so, keep Trump's FBI appointee.
Trump violates those norms again.

And what did adhering to these norms get Dems. Just Republicans talking about how rigged the FBI was.

Long overdue.

Republicans don’t play by the rules. The only time they want rules to apply is when it concerns other people. Someone like Trump shouldn’t even be qualified to run for office.

Are we even to talk about all the felons and criminals he pardoned on his way out the last time? Pardoned his in law and is making him an ambassador now.

I fault democrats for thinking that because they follow the law and care about protecting the image of a lawful America that republicans will do the same.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 7:42am On Dec 02, 2024
Democrats should learn that republicans don’t care about the law, norms, family values, the working class, veterans, children, the police or God.

These are talking points they use to rile up their volatile emotionally stunted constituents into rage voting. Creating an atmosphere of hate that’s too distracting for anyone to actually focus on public wellness. While their distractions are working, they’re busy transferring more wealth to the billionaire class and shrinking the middle class each time they are in office.

Republicans are like Nigerian politicians. They don’t believe in continuity and building on what their predecessors started. It’s actually not surprising they have a lot of Nigerian supporters. The parallels are there.

And he already got a blank check by Trump's supreme court to do and undo. So he should continue please.

When we were saying then that the Judgement then was a bad precedent not to make anyone a King,they were saying otherwise.

Biden should do more and more and more.

Orange criminal has appointed his criminal in-law whom he pardoned as Ambassador to France.

So I urge every Democrat complaining about this to shut up. The American people never saw criminality as a deal-breaker and that was why they elected one.

Due process and rule of law be damned it only works on Black men.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by AmazonTopaz(f): 9:22am On Dec 02, 2024

Again, anyone who supports Trump and voted for him is a big nincompoop.


He has appointed two of his in-laws. Nigerians will fault this in Nigeria but support that idiot when he does this in America.

@bold, that's why I am not surprised many including Africans in general support him. If Orange man were a Nigerian politician the Obidients4Trump gang would hate him.

Same way they hate Kemi Badenoch in the UK who is saying the same thing that they find no fault in when Orange man says it. grin


Nigerians lack self-awareness and that's why their hypocrisy stinks.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by AmazonTopaz(f): 9:38am On Dec 02, 2024
Politics aside every parent in Biden's shoes would do the same thing.

The people I am willing to go against my principles for are my children.
Biden has seen grief in his life he deserves a full family in retirement in happiness. Americans showed him no appreciation for his work so let him be selfish and do something for himself.

As much as I loath that Orange criminal if he did this for his children I wouldn't fault him, every parent will do what Biden did. He even said that he could pardon Hunter. Any parent that wouldn't do this for their child. I will advise the child to do a DNA test. grin grin


That said people complaining about this should shut up. The people elected a criminal to the White House who regardless of what Biden did would pardon every criminal who committed an insurrection on January 6th.
