If it's not a president it's the deep state. The idea that you fill a vessel with enormous political power with no oversight and everything just works out is naive to the point of childishness.
A vessel? Who are you, Billy Shakespeare? There’s no Deep State. You are talking nonsense. There’s plenty of oversight at the Justice Department, even if you are ignorant about it.

Kamala was just fine with the curriculum before the election cycle. She is just as black as Tim Scott. I trust her.
That’s a lie. This Florida curriculum was obviously changed after the election. And you being snarky and disingenuous is not going to cover up your lies.

Woke is a way to say “not racist” So anti-woke is the rallying cry for white grievance.
How dare America become a place of prosperity for all Americans. The goal should be once all white men are middle class we can start thinking about people of color

Apparently so, since most woke professors are white.
Yet here you have Tim Scott telling you it’s offensive. But you will not be swayed.

Explaining that slaves learned farm skills instead of factory skills isn't a "silver lining"

“One of the things we need in our elected leaders is for them to tell the truth, even if it’s unpopular,” Mr. Hurd said. “Donald Trump is not running to make America great again. Donald Trump is not running for president to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 or 2020. Donald Trump us running to stay out of prison.”
The vast majority of the crowd did not agree. Boos rang out, and some attendees clattered their silverware to drown him out, a stark illustration of the risks of going after the former president.“

Is Biden using the FBI to wisely crush his political enemies before they can become a threat to his Democracy?
You’re just asking questions - like FOX News does.
Is Grey Parrott a Russian bot or just an uninformed moron? I’m just asking questions .
Because educated adults in the United States know that the President has no control over the Justice Department or the FBI.
Only a corrupt douche like Trump who asked for loyalty and then fired the FBI director, fired his Attorney General without cause, threatened to fire his second FBI Director prompting his third Attorney General to threaten to resign along with his deputy, meddled with his second Attorney General and pushed him to cheat in an election causing him to resign, could you say the President is using the FBI to crush his political enemies.

A testament to how little Trump actually controlled the swamp monsters
No President controls the FBI. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Besides, The investigation of Hillary was done while Obama was president.
If she had, she would have had to admit she destroyed the evidence right?
No, she didn’t destroy anything and she didn’t tell anyone to destroy anything.

She's not in jail. Pick a standard.
She also didn’t possess any classified documents.
And her emails were not subpoenaed by the FBI
In 2014, months prior to public knowledge of the server's existence, Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and two attorneys worked to identify work-related emails on the server to be archived and preserved for the State Department. Upon completion of this task in December 2014, Mills instructed Clinton's computer services provider, Platte River Networks (PRN), to change the server's retention period to 60 days, allowing 31,830 older personal emails to be automatically deleted from the server, as Clinton had decided she no longer needed them. However, the PRN technician assigned for this task failed to carry it out at that time.[100]
After the existence of the server became publicly known on March 2, 2015,[43] the Select Committee on Benghazi issued a subpoena for Benghazi-related emails two days later. Mills sent an email to PRN on March 9 mentioning the committee's retention request.[100] The PRN technician then had what he described to the FBI as an "oh shit moment," realizing he had not set the personal emails to be deleted as instructed months earlier. The technician then erased the emails

There are degrees of corruption. “There is corruption on both sides” argument is tiresome
Manchin is the least Democrat of the Democrats. The other one, Sinema, became an independent. Because corruption is not celebrated in the Democratic Party.
The case you referenced for Cuomo is not made. It’s circumstantial

@jamgiller
I addressed all three you cited.
Manchin is in a state that loves Trump. He advocates for coal and he is a coal broker. His constituents want to keep mining coal. Corruption? Change the Senate rules.
There’s an appearance of self dealing for sure.
The Cuomo one, less so.
The insider trading. Democrats are trying to end it.

…that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.
I agree, but that’s not corruption. Corruption is pardoning people who lie or remain silent to protect the president from being indicted
Corruption is bribing and blackmailing foreign leaders for help with your campaign
Corruption is benefiting financially through your power in government
Corruption is trying to corrupt an election
Joe Manchin uses his political position to make money from coal at the expense of his constituents and the environment, and he opposes most environmental actions in Congress because he's funded by fossil fuel companies.
That’s true but advocating for coal mining is good for his constituents, at least in the short term. And you realize you have picked the least democrat of the Democrats.
This guy is always voting against his party’s policy priorities.
While governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo added a provision to a budget bill that shielded hospital and nursing home executives from COVID-related litigation after receiving over $1 million in campaign donations from a healthcare industry group.
The money came in 2018, well before the Covid epidemic. It’s pretty hard to make the case they gave him the money just in case they needed liability protection should a pandemic arise.
5 of the 13 members of Congress with the worst records for violations of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act are from the Democratic party.
You may have read Democrats have proposed legislation to stop this practice, but Republicans won’t support it. And your numbers show how republicans are more likely to be corrupt and they are fine with that. They don’t want to change the practice.

“The new indictment also levels accusations of a broader effort by Trump and some of those around him to cover their tracks as the FBI sought to retrieve highly classified documents kept at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home and private club, long after his presidency ended. The indictment charges that Trump and two aides, Waltine “Walt” Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, requested that another Trump employee “delete security camera footage at the Mar-a-Lago Club to prevent the footage from being provided to a federal grand jury.”

Especially the student loan scam which he kept promising.
GP is upset that although he got a free ride to go to his correspondence school after he left the navy, other people should have to pay for their tuition.
Imagine being angry at a President for trying to provide student debt relief on tuition that should have been paid by the government in the first place like it was for earlier generations.

I'm on the left, and I say that there are pathological liars in both major US parties.
Who is a pathological liar on the left? Trump was documented to have lied over 30,000 times in 4 years by The NY Times.
Name a Democrat who lied just 100 times in 4 years.

“It was then that Mr. De Oliveira told Mr. Taveras that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” the indictment said, referring to the computer server holding the security footage.“
How ironic after Trump was elected in 2016 claiming that Hillary should be in jail for deleting emails on her server.

I wouldn't convict if a child trying to circumvent a locked door by climbing on the roof died.
Installing floating barriers of razor wire is more akin to setting a booby trap than locking a door.

@prefix
Putting a floating barrier was not enough to keep people from trying. It simply made it more likely people would drown trying.
If they really wanted to prevent people from drowning they would build a bridge across the river. But there priority is keeping migrants away from the border, not preventing drowning of children or any other migrants.

If the ONLY way in to the USA was through LEGAL CHANNELS, the coyotes would close up shop, and deaths would decline.
Or, or, hear me out, if there was an adequate legal way to enter the country, not just one for wealthy and educated people, there wouldn’t be any illegal immigration, because people would use the legal method.
Of course many Americans (idiot Trumpers) think most immigrants come here to commit crimes.
