    LOL and yet McCarthy couldn't keep the wingnut MAGA brigade off committees. Hell, he couldn't even get elected as speaker without them and charlatans like Santos.

    Well I won't disagree that some of these names make big $$$ from insider trading and profit from their positions of power (I'm looking at you Pelosi) but I don't know how you can say someone like, as an example, Mitch McConnell is keeping things gridlocked. That guy just engineered the repeal of Roe vs Wade. Joe Biden's infrastructure bill is a huge win for all Americans (so much so that Republican politicians are championing it despite having voted against it) and actually got you out of the gridlock that existed to create and improve infrastructure. So I'm not sure you've provided the best examples

    So what about the "elected and un-elected bureaucrats", the "bureaucrats who work in the regulatory agencies who basically do the bidding of the corporations" and the "corrupt people in the various intelligence agencies"? Who are those people?

    Time for a derailment

    If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

    Hey @Steal Your Face , you always say you want open debate here. I’m doing just that, haven’t insulted you or brought the conversation down a peg, yet you seem to not want to engage in any debate. What’s up with that

    James Comey, Christopher Wray, Merrill Garland, Janet Yellen, Tim Geitner, Eric Holder, Loeretta Lyn, Susan Rice, Lois Lerner. These are some of the people in government currently or were in government I. The recent past who are corrupt.

    Ok so how do you know these allegedly corrupt government folk are part of the deep state exactly?

    The FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop as far back as 2019 and sat on it. Then allowed the media to carry out their agenda of saying it was likely Russian disinformation knowing they had the laptop. Then tried to get Facebook to suppress the story by using a tactic called jawboning. That is Swampy behavior. The FBI is supposed to be Joe Friday types, not helping a Presidential candidate by swaying the public opinion against Trump. I don’t care how bad Trump is, you don’t do that shit. That’s just one example.
    Tim Geitner used to be on the Federal Reserve Board in NY before becoming treasury secretary under Obama. That’s swampy behavior because you essentially have private sector people who come into government and create the regulations. It’s called regulatory capture. People from big corporations like Pfizer for example, working for the government and creating regulations that benefit the companies they previously worked for. Then they get out of government and get cushy jobs. It’s the revolving door that makes it swampy.

    "Sat on it" or "didn't have a case strong enough to go public with"?

    And now the GOP has had access to it, the best they've got is still "owned a gun while high" and "got his cock out". Not corruption though, since Devon Archer admitted flat out that the Bidens never talked business on their calls.

    High crimes, indeed. The FBI should be ashamed for not bringing this to the attention of the American public.

    Hell, the admins here have had more solid evidence on some of our posters to report to the authorities than a hard drive full of dick pics.

    Albeit those posters' dick pics wouldn't fill an old floppy disk. Or be as rigid.

    the important thing is that Feddy now has a new, vaguely definable buzzword in "jawboning" which he will go on to frequently misuse or derail discussions by challenging others' usage of...

    I noticed that you’ve already eliminated the possibility of an 8” floppy.

    What’s that quote from the 60’s?

    “Never trust anyone who hasn’t used a Tandy All-in-One with a green and black screen and a 8” floppy.”

    It's been explained to FF countless times that multiple right-leaning news outlets were offered the laptop story as an exclusive and refused to run it.

    It's also been explained to FF that the FBI didn't say anything specifically about the laptop story to Twitter and Facebook, but rather warned them that foreign actors might try to disseminate some sort of fake "October Surprise" news story in the last days before the election. Facebook and Twitter looked at the laptop story and decided all by themselves that it fit all the signs of a fake story.

    It's almost like he doesn't care about the truth, but just about pushing a false narrative to muddy the waters.... :chris:

    Ok so now you're talking about "swampy behavior" and private sector people that go into the public sector, change regulations and then rejoin the private sector. This happens in most Western countries

    Still no names or anything to corroborate that there is this shadowy behind the scenes group of people called the deep state. Like, I've given you 3 chances now!

    I really think this is just a buzzword Trump made up in order to galvanize people waiting for another excuse to hate the government more than they already do :shrug:

    Trumpers act like the government finger-blasted their ass in their sleep, and took Polaroids.
    Folks, they want you to hate the government so they can pocket your SSI.
    The only conspiracy is rich people.
    Always has been.
