President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[Jeff Lebowski]

I saw that earlier today and was going to share it too. Three Year Letterman is a national treasure.

The leftie echo chamber and placement of Trumper is cute. I just call out the hypocrisy of the bitchfest when it is one sided. This place can be feeing frenzy BlueSky or a men’s version of The View at times. The method of defending Biden’s incompetence then to what is now. One can call this out and still not be in favor of all things Trump. But keep labeling me as such.

Dhole. No need to worry. You don’t really give shit about me. See a therapist?? Fuck off with your trite self righteous bullshit.

Not to say Trump is not an idiot with mis-naming Greenland, but to make the statement that he should not be president after the Geriatric Biden was in office, taking his naps mid-day all the fucking time. And the moronic confused shit he did and said. Come on.

Don’t worry Dabrockster, us hypocrites are just getting ahead of the story. Trump has 3 years to go. He’s already near Biden’s senility. By the end of his term he will eclipse Biden. By then it will be ridiculous to even compare the two!

The guy is a rambler. Gonna call you out and say he has reached Biden levels already. He clearly had cognizant decline while Trump just speaks without a prompter. I think is arrogance/narcissism has increased. Yes. I just think he give a shit anymore. Not a good thing but I believe there is a difference..

dabrockster, this quote suggests you were okay with Biden being geriatric, taking naps mid-day all the fucking time, and the moronic confused shit he did and said. Because you are using that objectional behavior to excuse Trump's objectionable behavior. Biden withdrew from his campaign because everyone saw those things. So I assume that you agree that it is equally disqualifying for Trump to exhibit those behaviors in office. We are in agreement. Nice talking with you.

That's the only difference you see between the two? Just a simple lack of a teleprompter...

I like you dabrockster, and I always want to give you the benefit of the doubt. You do criticize Trump once in a while. But this is just another level of

Lol. Yeah, if the argument is "Biden did the same thing", I can't thing of a more damning thing to say.

Biden and Trump are (were) both terrible presidents. But Trump is in a field of his own in terms of awfulness. The worst thing Biden did was screw up so badly that we elected Trump again.

Oh no of course not. Everyone knows what he meant. Does Karoline Leavitt have to spell it out for you?

I'm sure his ego took a hit with the latest TACO, so he's still lashing out:

Quite the art of the deal to antagonize our most important strategic allies yet again, even after they allowed him to save face with some land agreement.

Putin and Netanyahu appointed to Trump's "board of peace"? Quite an embarrassment

Why Congress Can’t Claw Back War Powers From Trump - WSJ

Neocon Don...as they say. Congress is useless at this point and it's embarrassing that it was my own house rep that flew back to cast the deciding vote.

I don't like to give the lefties more gnashing of teeth or fuel to beef up their constant bitching, BUT.. If you have not yet read the NYTimes article on Kash Patel and the FBI. I highly recommend it. While I do believe there are changes that needed to be made to remove the political-sway that had taken place in the FBI (Mainly at the top-heavy HQ positions,) the way Patel and company went and just butchered the agency and the critical agents (Field offices) is just bad.. And the integration and removal of agents from their counter-intelligence work, cyber-intelligence and many other duties to assist ICE was just bad.. This is not how you re-organize or shift changes to an agency.. This is just bad and I am not sure it will recover the lost knowledge and experts from these decisions..

Field-office leader 2: I am a conservative. I believe in tightening our borders. I just had an issue with the execution of it. My counterparts at D.H.S. were constantly getting yelled at, being threatened and fearing for their jobs. That’s not the way to work. They literally had quotas. Each region had to have a certain amount of arrests every single day. It was completely asinine.

This is how things go sideways. For me, the No. 1 priority was agent safety. I don’t want my agent to be killed or to be responsible for somebody else getting killed. I did everything I could to make sure that headquarters is happy, but at the same time, I’m not jeopardizing my agents or my morals or the Constitution either.

Northwest special agent: In Minneapolis, agents were surveilling a bunch of Somali-run autism centers because it was a kickback scheme. The centers were recruiting kids from the community, falsely diagnosing them and giving the parents a cut of the federal dollars they received for treatment. This became front-page news when the criminal indictments came down, but back in February, agents had to stop investigating for weeks to work immigration. I did not go to law school, go to Quantico and work counterterrorism operations overseas to be doing traffic control for arrest-a-brown-person day.

Central U.S. case agent: I was working an undercover operation on a neo-Nazi group with a long history of criminal activity. The F.B.I.’s niche in the federal law enforcement community is these specialized investigations, and now we’re being pulled away from those. If I’d wanted to be a cop, I would have just done that. When I resigned from the F.B.I., I was told they’d have to close the investigation — there was no one else around to pick it up.

Field-office leader 1: Kash and Dan seemed to have no control over the immigration demands being placed on the F.B.I. Emails sent to F.B.I. field leaders with immigration staffing requirements were forwarded directly from D.O.J.

ICE did not have the requisite data or any semblance of a strategic plan to make the F.B.I.’s efforts effective. Each F.B.I. field office was simply told to provide the designated number of F.B.I. agents to the immigration effort.

I remember praying that we didn’t have a terrorist attack, mass shooting or cyberattack slip through the cracks because my agents, who were highly trained to protect against such threats, were assigned to immigration enforcement.

Tonya Ugoretz, former assistant director of the directorate of intelligence: When you’re taking an agent or analyst who is an expert on the Russian F.S.B. and you have them focused on name checks for immigration enforcement, what investigations are sitting because they’ve been diverted?

Kayla Staph, former cyber special agent: The immigration push grew immensely, and it grew fast. Leadership was like, This isn’t going away, and all of you will now participate. HQ informed our field offices that the agents out with ICE needed to be taking pictures so they could post them to social media. I had never been asked to do that during an arrest operation before. It’s inappropriate and tactically unsound.

Field-office leader 2: I am a conservative. I believe in tightening our borders. I just had an issue with the execution of it. My counterparts at D.H.S. were constantly getting yelled at, being threatened and fearing for their jobs. That’s not the way to work. They literally had quotas.

WHAT IN THE LITERAL!!!!!

Patel traveled to Britain to attend a secret conference of the Five Eyes, the intelligence alliance formed after World War II among the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Senior executive 2: Every May, there’s a Five Eyes conference with the head of every intelligence agency. This year it was in the U.K. Kash Patel is going. In the lead-up to that, his detail starts making crazy requests. He’s got special requirements on everything. And the Brits are getting pissed.

Before the conference, his staff says he’s unhappy because he doesn’t like meetings in office settings. What he wants is social events. He wants Premier soccer games. He wants to go jet skiing. He’d like a helicopter tour. Everyone who heard about this was like: Hold on. Is he really going to ask the MI5 director to go jet skiing instead of meeting? The schedule is set, and every Five Eyes partner is doing this. They can’t just say that he’s not participating and instead he wants to go to a Premier soccer game. This is a job, guys.

His staff only cared about three things: what his meals were, when his workouts would be and what his entertainment would be. The biggest plan is how he’s going to get his girlfriend in there so she can go to Windsor Castle. He’s got Nicole Rucker as his assistant, like a true executive concierge. And when she’s not getting the food or the workout she wants, she’ll just start screaming at people, Make it happen!

His staff was briefed multiple times that the Brits were going to want to talk about an F.B.I. position in London that has been pulled. The F.B.I. is arguably their most important partner. MI5 is 5,000 people. The F.B.I. is 38,000. If MI5 ceased to exist, it would be very bad for us. If we cease to exist, it would be an existential threat for them. That person was working on a ton of sensitive stuff, including embassy penetrations and technology, and they want this position back. So Ken McCallum, the MI5 director, goes to Kash Patel at the conference and says: Hey, we really need this position. It’s so important for our mutual benefit. And Kash says: Yep, that person’s going nowhere. She’s absolutely staying. And the Brits rejoice.

Two weeks later, he reverses himself and removes her. The Brits are outraged. Kash will make promises and he will break them, and he doesn’t worry about that.

On that trip, the heads of intelligence for the Five Eyes went to Windsor Castle and met with the king. There was a photo taken of all the Five Eyes people, some of whom are nondisclosed, meaning their affiliation with the British intelligence service isn’t public. The Brits forwarded that picture as a keepsake for the individuals. They prefaced it with, This isn’t to be shared. But Kash has decided he wants to post it on social media. They have people trying to negotiate with the Brits about whether that’s possible. They’re fighting with the director’s office, like: You cannot post this. Do not do that. And they’re arguing, He wants a picture out.

Lol. Yeah, if the argument is "Biden did the same thing", I can't thing of a more damning thing to say.

We can agree on that. As I have said many times over. I fucking despise Biden for putting Trump back into office. As much as I despise the fucking GOP-idiots for electing him in the primaries.. But, Biden's own arrogance or the puppets who paraded him around for so long caused this to happen. They thought they could get another 4-years out of that walking diaper.. Kamala never would've been the option and would've been skewered by ANY other candidate in the Dem party in the primaries..

I will say, The withdrawal of Afghan is BY FAR worse.. Watching videos of people falling from the plane as it takes off is disgusting. The fact we lost soldiers during that time from an attack and then turned-tail and ran is all on him.. COVID, Inflation, Massive balloon of our debt (8-trillion), Open Borders and the lack of real procedural reviews of those let in, which has in effect caused the terrible ICE crackdown that will be comparable to Japanese Encampments.. So yeah.. I blame Biden but equally blame GOP for putting him in as the option.

Truthfully, sometimes, I just want people to STFU. Yeah it is bad.. But give it a fucking rest.. Yeah, I know. I need to step away. As do some of these dude..

Ugh. Glad I didn't go down that road. Just before I hired on full time in my current job, I was pursuing employment at the FBI. That would have put me hitting 20 years sometime this year.
