Alright, Ohio Barbarian - you're smart; answer me this: why do "Liberals" over the age of, say, 40, fall for this shit? When did they forget everything they ever knew? How come they're so incredibly stupid?
Trump is probably guilty of that and more but he isn’t arrested. I have always favored high end investigations going after those at the top like Trump rather than low level offenses targeting the poor.
Amusing that one of Trump's lawyers seems to fall into the same category as Hoover. It would not
surprise me if Trump in his stubborn vengeance bungled this one too. And if people accused him of
creating divisiveness, then they should look at what all of his attackers are trying to achieve.Then again this was/is the purpose of TPTB. FBI/CIA serve those purposes too.This fear that he might win
a second term may just have backfired though. For many people the appeal of the underdog is very
strong, and the process chosen smells of a political cabale.
Hey, OB... This is one big question and it's more than ugly J Edgar's Hooters influence. As far as I'm concerned, he was a symptom of the widening problem of a post WWII "middle" class. My theory is that persons at a level I'll never see decided that we should develop a two-party (and two party ONLY) system that guarantees its followers how much better they are than the other (true "school spirit" high school mentality). We've been really dumbing down at lightening speed since the 1970's to erase critical thinking and pit Americans, one against the other.
Shout out to more from the JPR tribe that I love seeing again, as I just spotted sadoldgirl!
I have another view of why so many damn fool baby boomers fall for it all.Because they have always been susceptible to whatever the TV told them was right and good and true.They were taught to be crowd followers as children,and since they were,it was easy to fall in line behind a news media that had almost become substitute parents for them,telling them who to love and who to hate.The media carefully paced them along,until they were swearing allegiance to the opposite of what they swore allegiance to the day before and they didn’t even notice.It can happen to anyone.We all have to be careful.
For those interested....my former (from DC) co-hort Garland Nixon has an excellent presentation on this from 11 August. Subject is THE TRUMP RAID - THE FBI'S CROSSFIRE HURRICANE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES....Garland, besides being from DC, a former law enforcement officer as well as ACLU member, connects the dots between this the FBI at large (Comey, Strzok, Mueller, etc.) Russiagate and Ukraine gate....Highly recommended....Good to see so many JPR folks here....tbc
