Trump is right to weaponize the DOJ

[lennypartiv]

After what he's been through, I don't blame him a bit. In this case, revenge is a good thing. There will be lots of cheers if he arrests those on the other side.

---Former President Trump told his supporters earlier this year he would be their “retribution” if reelected. He told supporters last week he would direct the Justice Department (DOJ) to investigate “every Marxist prosecutor in America.” And Trump over the weekend vowed to “root out … the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.”---

Fuck that.

OUR government should NEVER be weaponized against US.

The whole purpose of this country was to take power away from the Government.


What the hell.

 

[MarathonMike]

Let's clean up the DOJ and intelligence agencies before we start talking about weaponizing.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The Marxist prosecutors have to go. Along with Marxist teachers.

 

[WinterBorn]

No, it is never acceptable to weaponize the DOJ. Throwing fits about how the democrats did it, and then doing it yourself is hypocrisy on a grand scale.

And the funny thing is I see a lot of republicans screaming about how unfair it is that the weaponized DOJ is messing with Trump. But far fewer seem to complain that Trump is innocent of the charges.

Yeah, well the coup sort of shit that idea away, yes?

Fascism is back in style again.

No.

Each and every one of us has to stand up and say, fuck that.

Regardless of ideology, the government does not get to do that.

Every.

Those who approve of that kind of thing make it known to everyone just what they are.

 

[Darkwind]

Fascism is back in style again.

Hopefully, the Democrats will be voted out and then Facsim will be out of style.

Dems will whine again, just like they did when Joe McCarthy tried to clean this crap up decades ago.

Americans can't afford to pay attention to democrats.

He's just butt hurt because he got caught, his Capital attackers got caught, the people that tried to create fake electors for him are getting caught, etc. The man has the self-control of a 10-year-old, kind of like the idiots in Congress, pissed at their new speaker, because he won't call an impeachment vote, though he knows they don't have evidence at this time.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The DOJ fid not let itself by weaponized by Trump last time, or by the FBI for that matter. He had some success with the Secret Service, but the Trumpers there have been weeded out.

Well the good news is you won’t be telling us how Trump will drain the swamp or anything like that. You are saying he will be a dictator and you’ll be cheering it.

Should any crimes be proven? Like, in court?

 

[Mac1958]

The OP should disturb any American. And he's right, there would be "lots of cheers".

This is one dark time for us.

It turns out, this is what they've wanted all along. I didn't see it.

I’m sad to say that I saw it about halfway through the Trump Administration. The last piece of evidence was the FBI and the FISA Court. When the IG investigated and found every single one of the FISA Warrant applications had major flaws and outright falsehoods and Trump didn’t go to Congress with demands to reform or revamp I knew. It was undeniable at that point. He wasn’t trying to Drain the Swamp. He wanted absolute power.

It was part of the reason I sat out the election in 2020. I wasn’t a fan of Biden. I thought he was a blithering idiot. But I could not, would not, vote for Trump again. He had shown himself unworthy of the office.

I'll always resent the GOP for having to vote Dem for the last two elections (and evidently this one). I'd very much like to go back to voting third party, but this is a clear and present danger.

I teased the Left here when it was throwing around words like "fascist" and "dictator" early on. I don't like wild hyperbole, and I think it's counter-productive. But never did I think I would see this in America.

Worst of all, it's working to a large degree. Now it looks like many have always wanted this.

I remember George W. Bush joking that everyone loved the idea of a Dictator, as long as they were the one with the power. I thought that was rather insightful for him. But it was accurate.

Who among us hasn’t had a momentary fantasy of being able to smite someone who deserved it in our opinion? Who among us hasn’t thought that with that kind of power, we could write so many wrongs. But those among us who are wise enough, know that eventually our actions would be wrong, and then eventually evil.

The Bible tells us this. Great Kings, chosen by God to lead the Israeli People, Solomon, David, and how many others? Falling for temptation, and the power to do whatever they wanted to get what they wanted.

I’ve always thought that was why each side was so quick to claim the other was being Fascist, or Socialist, or Totalitarian. Because they secretly wanted the power to smite the other side, and can’t imagine that the other side would restrain themselves once they have the power.

I’m not at all comfortable with either side having the power. I voted for Trump because Hillary was a bad choice in my opinion. Her history told me that she was clever, but always just short of being clever enough for her schemes to work. I was willing to give Trump a chance. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon for a while. I knew that it takes time for someone to really learn the job of President. Nobody is ready on day one. I posted that the early objections to Trump were nonsense.

By the time 2020 rolled around, I was done with it. I had realized that Trump would not learn. I had realized that he just wasn’t cut out for this job.

Don’t get me wrong. I do not regret my vote. In context, the vote in 2016 was the best one, Hillary was known, but her actions screamed that she was a schemer, and her argument that Trump would because of his inexperience, bumble us into World War III was possible in my mind. However, I considered it just about as likely that Hillary would Clever us into World War III trying to work a scheme.

The Obama Admin was the beginning of the end of the Republicans. Honestly, that’s the truth. George W. Bush wasn’t great. He was OK. He made some mistakes, but who doesn’t? He tried to do what he could, and I can accept that. But Obama and the Republicans, they just never could recover from Obama.

I was talking to the Wife earlier, about Senator Mullen’s idiotic challenge to fight the head of the Teamsters Union. It is the perfect example of the Republican Party of today. I can’t debate you, I can’t argue your facts, so I’ll just whip your ass for daring to oppose me.

I don’t know how the Republicans recover. I don’t think the nation ever will. If they get smart and dump Trump and pick up Halley, they win in 24, and probably pick up the Senate and extend control in the House. If they stick with Trump, the Democrats have a chance of stopping him, but only barely.

I’m afraid the grand experiment is coming to an end. I suppose it was inevitable.
