I see little point in trying to argue with someone who believes that the Daily Wire is a reliable source, and that every other news outlet is lying to them.

Kris, do you believe in CNN? https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics ... index.html Do you trust CBS? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RViKAOv7yg0 How about the left-wing Trump hating rag NY TIMES? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/09/us/f ... signs.html I could go on and on and on. You are something else in your thinking on a daily basis.

Kristatos wrote:"The left" did not try to get Trump locked up, unless you class the entire criminal justice system as "the left". He's a felon who was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers. But because Republicans rely so much on grievance politics, they can paint a criminal getting caught as evidence of persecution (when it's one of theirs, that is). And both of his would-be assassins were registered Republicans.
On this we disagree.

Edit**kris, I apologize , I know this isn’t fair. I picked one post to reply to , out of context in s thread that already moved along.
and it’s so far after the election I go on a rant about the press , which you never mention. It kind of came out this way and I’m not sure I can edit well on the phone .. at this point it’s less a reply and more a stream of consciousness I’m not very confident in.. **

About Department of Justice
Doj was politicized and was acting politically. Imagine if hur had prosecuted Biden or if they had released the video of the interview the democrats could have primaried a new candidate.

Merrick Garland is one of the worst things to happen to this country.

Far as Trump is concerned.

All of the state charges are so contrived it’s painful to listen to their explanations/ theories of law. All of the nyc cases are/were expected to be reversed by ny high courts . The nyc cases seemed to only have election interference as the goal and not the rule of law. To an outsider the prosecutors down to the judges involved, were crooked. The nyc judges were some of the smuggest and smarmiest I’ve ever seen deliberately allowing trial errors, which would see these cases overturned on appeal, seemingly just to have an immediate effect on the Republican primary, whether to help Trump get nomination or to hurt Trump. I’ve heard it both ways, most of his supporters assume hurt Trump.

GA case is so bonkers it’ll probably fall apart on its own as avenues to win are whittled down. It’s so bonkers, the DA involved actually committed and hid her own (possible) crimes in the course of this.

Leaving trump out of it doj invented interpretations of law, which were later struck down by the Supreme Court, to prosecute J6.
Liz Cheney tampered with witnesses in J6 committee, then deleted the video testimony which was evidence.

Steve Bannon didn’t do anything different from what hunter Biden did far as contempt of Congress, and Brannon actually had a legal reason not to comply which others in similar circumstances were never prosecuted.

Re would be assassins
Routh is a very weird dude, registered democrat, but a warmonger, given aid, going in and out of our country to raise money, fighters and weapons for the Ukraine, and makes it back to the country in time for second assassination attempt at a time and place details of which were not publicly available. Then , after his arrest somehow his manifesto is released putting basically a Facebook marketplace help wanted ad.
Not to ignore he somehow brings in to the country a weapon that looks like it’s from the Ukraine war. How? It doesn’t go in the overhead.

The other shooter who, that’s the weirdest d**n clown show I’ve ever seen. Secret service was so bad it boggles the mind. Then FBI is, if not purely incompetent, then is deliberately trying to damage the investigation to the point it’s fruitless.

IMHO it’s too easy to dislike Trump or hunter biden and assume the doj and state AGs are only being vigilant and these are bad men.
However under it all is kangaroo courts and crooked prosecutors.
Doj misshandled Hunter’s case in major ways. In the end. I hope hunter does not actually get any jail time. A lot of his bs and damning actions can be laid at the feet of those who allowed it to happen in the first place. Joe Biden and his people have a bigger responsibility that will never be answered.

Re More DOJ shenanigans
Jack Smith is/was out of control and possible had no standing to act as special counsel. his re-filing indictments and getting the judge to release his manifesto/ legal brief being unsealed was a blatant violation of DOJ rules.

I’m more libertarian than anything, and it is/was getting bad with federal and state over reach and over prosecution. State over reach into social media censoring.


Biggest glaring example of the problems the US has is our corporate media is useless. There is no fourth estate. Just organizations who promote any narrative for the right price. ( pharma caugh pharma)
If we had a free press they would have exposed bidens mental decline, instead of doing ass kissing interviews will Jill Biden. F-ing bob watergate woodward publishing a d**n news report about what was going on instead of holding all the juicy details for his new book.
We might have a president elect Shapiro today, going back further and if 2016 primary was reported accurately keeping the process honest exposing the Clinton machines cheats, president nominee Bernie Sanders.


Honest press We’d have accurate poll reporting, it’s coming out now the reporters were being told privately how bad it was, but never reported or even questioned the accuracy of the polls. Reporters just went along with it.

The press also knew Kamala was never actually ahead but kept up with the narrative of inevitability.

The press never exposed the Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kamala presidential coup. Democrats never had a chance to find a candidate of their choosing.

Anyway my point being how can democracy function with a press biased to support one wing of one party.
If the press had done their jobs in 2016, 2020, 2023 democracy would have a chance to self correct. This last election the nation was gaslit by the people charged with the duty to expose it. Either for ideological reasons or for monetary reasons, the results were the same.

Talk about a corrupt regime with Biden and Harris!
FEMA is incompetent anyway, I’m not sure Joe Biden or Kamala Harris wanted FEMA screwing up, I don’t think the optics would help them in the election.
I think it does demonstrate the politicization of our government, but not necessarily being directed from the top. Sure they Appointed or nominated like minded people to positions of power they shouldn’t have but imo Harris campaign would be better served by FEMA actually doing their job Well, it might actually want them some support.

This is just a tip of the iceberg. The FEMA stories get a whole lot more damning. To the point where it looks like some officials were using FEMA to redirect shipments then sell the supplies themselves. Think Gaza floating pier level of out right theft of humanitarian supplies from the intended recipients

OK, I'll admit it, I was wrong. I saw the headline, and that it came from the Daily Wire, and assumed that it was just another one of their made-up ragebait stories. But since it's been confirmed by multiple reliable sources, it appears to be true. Though it's not FEMA saying this, it was one rogue FEMA official who has since been fired.

Big O, Kris is out of touch with the reality of the DOJ in the USA. He does not get it that NO Democrat would have been prosecuted for what Trump did and that here in NYC, where I have lived all of my life, Leticia James, the lowlife AG that she is, campaigned on GETTING TRUMP! Imagine if a Republican AG campaigned on GETTING the OH-bama?! That person would be deemed a pariah by the trash media. The media here now knows they are DONE. People do not watch them any longer for their opinions unless they are left-wingers feeling nourished about woke agendas. The judge and jury here in NYC was NOT one of his peers but rather of his ENEMIES. When the conviction is either tossed in 2 weeks by judge Merchand, or won on appeal, which most legal scholars say is inevitable, the left-wingers will not be able to use the CONVICTED FELON slogan any longer. There is no help for them, as they either will leave the country (all talk), shave their heads in protest, or deny sex to their counterpart males in protest of a vote where Trump won 3/4 of the states and the popular vote. EON's songstress Billie EYE-LASH said she would leave the USA in protest, so did Cher. When will they book those flights?

It's often the case with mob trials that you prosecute for what you can get them for. Al Capone being nailed for tax evasion is the most famous example.

You are wrong about a LOT of things. Your assumption is that the REAL reason why I dislike the Oh-bama is due to his race, yet you won't admit it, so I will clear it up for you. It has NOTHING whatsoever to do with his bi-racial ethnicity. He is incompetent and his policies weakened America. If Condoleeza Rice, Tim Scott, or Dr. Ben Carson were the nominees for the Republican Party I would have LOVED that! I hope Byron Donald in Florida does run for Governor after the Desantis' term ends because he has great POLICIES. You don't elect someone just due to race or gender which is what the Democrats wanted for KAMALA. NO legacy media would endorse Nikki Haley over Josh Shaprio in 2028 just because she is a woman and a minority. It is so obvious to most who live here why Trump won. Democrats seemed shocked and that is due to them being so out of touch with the common citizen and now the Democrats are now seen as those being run by elitists.

Correct MP. We both have lunatic governors who do NOT act in the best interest of their constituents. You agree with me on a lot of things I would bet MP, not everything which is fine, but we get along with each other, which is the way it should be. AND--------we both love PAD SE EW!

Well it doesn’t help the press is right there with them. There is no check on their BS, like the White House press secretary, literally lying day after day and hardly any pushback to it.

For the next admin
My big hope is Bobby Kennedy gets to do some of what he talked about, it’ll be a good change.

Actress Eva Longoria admitted that she and her family have fled the “dystopian” United States — leaving the homelessness and high taxes of California for a brighter life in Mexico and Spain......good riddance. She ran more so from her state that is being destroyed by the loser Governor who wants to run for President in 2028 Gavin Newsome. They create the mess then run from it. MP, will you miss her?

Rachel Zegler, the star of Disney’s upcoming live action “Snow White” remake, issued an apology Thursday after blasting supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. Zegler took to Instagram following the election to condemn those who voted for Trump in a lengthy post. These individuals, she said, represent a “deep sickness” in the country.

“I find myself speechless in the midst of this,” she wrote. “Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.”

“There is a deep sickness in this country that is shown in the sheer amount of people who showed up for this man who threatens our democracy,” she added. “Get the f--- off Elon’s app btw. The f--- are you doing.”

May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” Zegler concluded........and Trump supporters are the ones who are divisive?! Disney is NOT happy with her as the lead for many reasons now as she did not want a prince and did not want dwarfs. Watch this film tank which it will deserve hopefully.

I think he will. There is a lot of trash in our food only because major corporation makes more money because of how it’s formulated , from cost, to addictive nature of it. In many ways it’s much worse than what cigarette companies did.

I think the vaccine Bobby might stop mandates, allowing more personal choice. I don’t think he’ll be able to close the door to big Pharma.
Although it bothers me why these guys are exempt from me responsible for the product.

I honestly believe corporate media and social networks negligence is behind people concerns.

The press isn’t meant to amplify hysteria, they are meant to question hysteria.

I truly believe a free press keeps a check on the political system.
It’s in the political systems interest to work up the population to get them to vote, best motivation appears to be fear.
Press ought to call BS on many outlandish rhetoric, claiming the mood of the nation.

But the Corporate press/media make more money creating sensationalist content, meanwhile, all the people running these corporations are not concerned or the overall structures stability of the nation. But the reporting will never reflect it.
