They work for whatever party is in power. basically they are 'for hire', but not to just anyone.
The folks who participated in the riot knew what they were risking arrest he is only charged with misdemeanors. I do agree the FBI has had a cloud over them in the past with pervious directors like Hoover.

Ha! Thanks for the laugh. Maybe you're not aware of how younger people and people of color are leaving the left and joining the right. The left is losing support in droves. Anyone on the right could put out a leftist soyboy (whose weaponry is a plastic water gun) in a nanosecond. Democrats will get what they're asking for eventually. Obliteration of their "party".

First thing DeSantis or Trump needs to do as president in 2024 is to seriously clean out the FBI and DOJ.

Global gas prices plunged all over the world due to the sudden and sharp lack of demand attributed to Covid and due to a simultaneous price war between Russia and the Saudis. Instead of reducing the supply, the Saudis pumped like there was no tomorrow.

5 refineries in the US were shut down due to the lack of demand.

Unless one blames Trump for Covid, there is nothing Trump did or could do to cause the very temporary low point.

Inflation was 1.26 in 2016 before Trump took office. It rose to 1.96 right before Covid his. Trump did not cause it to rise.

In 2017, Congress authorized drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. The income from leases and royalties was intended to offset the tax cuts. Only problem was, no one was interested in leasing. Why is this?

The 6 largest oil producers have record profits. Why would they want to pump more for less $.

Gas is at record high all over the world right now with a handful of exceptions in the ME, Cuba and Venezuela.

Seems no shortage of people believe all petro products are equal and there a magic spigot somewhere just waiting to be turned on. The keystone pipeline was 8% complete after 4 years of Trump. It’s purpose is to move Alberta Sands to refineries in the gulf for export. This is not suitable for gas at the pump.

POTUS has influence but does not control the economy, inflation or gas prices.

Biden owns the mess at the border- in his complete control.

"The unemployment rate is the same as it was before Covid. Last month, there was an all time record of vacancies. Nearly anyone who needs/ wants a job can get hired."


That's what happens when you have a fire sale on labor and allow international corporations to pay off corporate debt with inflated dollars.

Meanwhile, working Americans get screwed.


"The keystone pipeline was 8% complete after 4 years of Trump."

Financing (Alberta's end) wasn't finalized on Keystone XL until March of 2021 and construction didn't start until April of 2020.

"POTUS has influence but does not control the economy, inflation or gas prices."

Correct.

His influence, manifested in the form of bone-head decisions and a clear indication of ongoing mental decline, encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine while we abandoned our own petroleum production in favor of the magic unicorn that is green energy.

The point to taking over Ukraine is to control their massive natural gas reserves and overland routes to energy dependent Europe, but this apple wouldn't be as shiny if other energy suppliers were in a position to offset Russian and Ukrainian exports.

Putin knew we would be pissed-off when he invaded and there would be retribution for Russia, but he also knows that when Europeans get cold in the winter, past transgressions against Ukraine won't matter.

Moreover, with Russia's nuclear weapons at Putin's disposal, once taken by Russia, no one will be able to take Ukraine back, even NATO.

Why? So he can wake up in some pod somewhere having no idea what the heck is going on with tubes flying off of him everywhere just to get sucked down into a sewer nearly drown then have to spend months undergoing electroshock via acupuncture just so he can learn to walk again?


Nah. I think I'm with Cypher on this:

Most on her side were fully supporting BLM rioters burning, looting, assaulting and killing because it was for a "good cause". They were fully supporting bailing out all the rioters and dropping charges.

But if a conservative is standing outside a building, never enters the building, doesn't hurt the building and just tips over a portable fence, HE MUST PAY DEARLY!!!

People on her side don't believe in appropriate penalty for level of crime. It's no Democrat should ever be punished for anything other than leaving the Democrat party and all Republicans need to be locked up and executed now.

That's how the left thinks today. It's sad.

Weren't BLM protests political?

Didn't Kamala and other top Democrats bail out BLM rioters and in many cases get the charges dropped?

Why the double standard?
