And he thinks Greta has an anger management problem. Sheesh! He's like a 5 year old on a playground who didn't get picked for the team - he'll just take his toys and go home! He's a narcissistic demagogue and that's how dictators get started.

Who typically refer to law enforcement as scum? Criminals. Very fitting.

Back then the FBI only put left wing communists in prison.
What makes you think they ever stopped being corrupt? Its MUCH worse today actually!

Well it was run by J Edgar Hoover for like 40 years so that should tell you everything you need to know about them.

I am not saying everybody who works for them is evil. Many of them are naïve dupes who think they are doing some crucial service to their country I am sure.

Criminals and corrupt law enforcement are just two different flavors of it. But at least the criminals are honest about who they are.

The "horrible" part is that we have 40% of the American public who seems to think that this is a good thing. Does not bode well for the future of this country. For the world for that matter.

'Just doing ones job' has never been an acceptable excuse.

TBH - having pics of Hovver dressed as a Lady, also helped.

Attacking people who work for him as 'scum' is probably one of the most disgusting things he has said--and just when you think he won't go any lower, he does. There is no bottom and the bar is one inch off the ground.
Would you say the same thing about LBJ, who would often require staff members to attend meetings in his bathroom while he sat on the toilet? Or JFK? Or Bill Clinton?

Nah I suppose not. You make the mistake of equating "disgusting" with "partisan opponent." This is a big reason why we are in the mess we are today.

What a pantload of utter BS you just dropped. Better give that leg another shake or two.
