I did not say that individuals are not influenced by their personal politics. That would be nearly impossible for anyone.

I said that I don't see some institutional conspiracy favoring one political party over the other.

Conspiracy implies something secretive and overtly schemed. The political bias of DOJ/FBI is pretty f'n wide out in the open, so no - not a conspiracy, but that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting federal law enforcement is investigated/administered in a politically biased way.

When the AG threatened parents speaking up at school board meetings, was that political?

Candidly, I remember thinking at the time that it was inappropriate, but I don't recall the details.

Was it political?

Was it political when the FBI sent 8 agents overnight to investigate a garage door pulldown rope?

Was it political when the FBI led a couple of retards to fantasize about kidnapping a Dem governor?

Or you’re just a Commie hack who conveniently leaves out the fact that the ‘summer of love protesters’ assaulted and murdered innocent Americans. Not to mention, taking over several blocks of an American city, attacking a federal courthouse, setting a police station on fire, and firebombing law enforcement.

But other than all that, a one day protest where the protesters didn’t kill a single person is exactly the same as month’s long rioting and destruction of American cities.

fricking dishonest hack

Nice selectice edit. The full quote.

One group damaged the US capital in a fit of pique, and the other group damaged private property in a fit of pique. I think each is equally repugnant. Candidly, I find it odd that you do not.
But you try to create the impression that I said the BLM rioters were less repugnant than the Trumpist rioters.

Yes you can, they are simply binary and not capable of anything deeper than "would you like fries with that", you may be surprised we have so many of them but you know exactly what they are.

A few years after the "no, we'll stop him" texts and observing their actions since, these are rhetorical questions. The FBI is politically driven, Merrick Garland is politically driven and who they choose to prosecute is politically driven. If people want to be idiotic or dishonest (or both) and pretend that they're not you can ask them questions all day long and it's not going to change their schtick.

You're right. I tried to keep the original wording and missed out on martyrdom reference, which of course is perfect.

That's why I called it an empty position earlier.

That’s not the issue. It’s good to think that, I think so too, but it’s a throwaway statement regarding the prosecution of the J6 people.

The question is this: Given that Group A was not and will not be prosecuted, do you want Group B prosecuted? If you want Group B prosecuted you are actively in favor of disparate treatment by the DOJ.

Thanks, Counselour...

Furthermore...

In your legal opinion, what should be done to aiders & abettors of Treason and Sedition? To those officials who frame innocent Constitution-abiding Americans? To those whose idea of "Justice" is a Kangaroo Courts system based purely on politics?

the January 6 lawbreakers


Anyone who broke a window or assaulted a cop , fine. All 50-100 of them? Maybe?

But those crimes aren’t remotely on par with arson or looting we all saw during the riots.

Peaceful tourism in the Capitol isn’t a fokking insurrection.

And I’m tired of you pretending it is.

Totally warped, upside-reality.

Is this your way of telling us your idea of "love-making" is a peck on the cheek before a Brontosaurus bends you over?

I guess you make a good point. If they hold people in jail indefinitely without trial, they aren't actually being prosecuted. They just FEEL like they've already been tried and found guilty.
