Can't the Dems get away with anything anymore? One thing we know is that it’s not going to end.

Reading about Eric Swalwell’s latest encounter with the FBI, it occurred to me that we’ve been seeing a lot of this kind of thing lately – namely, notable figures of the left getting some kind of well-earned comeuppance.

And that, playmates, is no illusion. Over just the past week or two, we have:

- Eric Swalwell was waylaid by the FBI twice last weekend, the first time on Saturday at the San Francisco airport, when they seized his personal electronics, and the second time the next day when the Feds confiscated every other piece of electronic gear he owns at his home in D.C. It’s assumed that this has to do with the sexual misconduct accusations that have been plaguing him in recent months. The walls, as the legacy media likes to say, are closing in.

- Jason Arday, a DEI-enhanced Cambridge professor, committed suicide shortly after being exposed as a plagiarist. His entire career, which included fantastic claims of overcoming poverty, childhood autism, and illiteracy to become a doctoral scholar in less than five years (along with running multiple marathons on a seriously broken leg), turns out to have been fabricated.

- Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) executive Heidi Beirich was arrested on August 11 on federal fraud and money-laundering charges for $1.2 million in payments to her down-low lover, a neo-Nazi party official. This follows revelations concerning payoffs by the SPLC to racist and extremist organizations. DoJ investigations are continuing.

- It was revealed this week that Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohmmed El-Sayed’s mother and uncle both worked for an Islamist terror front organization, the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), that funded Hamas, the Taliban, and none other than Osama bin Laden himself in the ramp-up to 9/11. The IARA was declared a terrorist organization in 2004.

Are you a reincarnationist? There’s no such thing as karma.

“ It’s assumed that this has to do with the sexual misconduct accusations that have been plaguing him in recent months”

It’s assumed by some that this has to do with Fang Fang’s ChiCom affiliation and whether the Chinese Communist Party used her to penetrate ( so to speak) and successfully spy on Swalwell and the US Senate

Regarding Arday, formerly of Cambridge: I have read multiple articles about his suicide, and none of them explained what field he was a professor of. I assume it’s not nuclear physics or some other vigorous field of study.

Since the comeuppances are resulting in left-liberals being replaced by Communists and Islamists, it’s hard to see that any real progress is being made.

The entire democrat party should be arrested. Open borders, Covid disaster, closed schools, forced businesses to close and go out of business resulting in lost jobs, forced injections, ridiculous taxes, I could go on and on, all day long.

Going after him for sex crimes but ignoring the spying.

The media excuses all of it because they believe it is the noblest of motivations. Power.

Arday was a professor of “Sociology of Education”, which is, as far as I can tell, a grievance studies program concentrating on “race, inequality and education.”

He was literally teaching how to perpetuate DEI into higher ed.

I have no doubt that Swalwell likes a good pegging, and that Fang Fang was happy to oblige.

The problem I have with these situations is that it takes 10 or more years to resolve if they ever do. Witnesses are threatened, bought off, or pass away in the meantime. The saying that justice delayed is justice denied is so true.

Judge Roy Bean had a far better system - tried, sentenced (or not), and resolved often on the same day.

“same day”

America has allowed defense lawyers to destroy the concept of swift justice

The holy concept of lawyers must be destroyed. They have developed injustice by dragging it out to capture greater fees

Judges are of course, complicit

“Since the comeuppances are resulting in left-liberals being replaced by Communists and Islamists, it’s hard to see that any real progress is being made.”

People expect to see the democrats to say they’re sorry, they’re rightfully busted, they deserve to be fully investigated, conservatives are right, the law is right, Rush was right

There won’t be recognition that Trump is enforcing the rules if criminals don’t confess

But they’re not going to do that. Eric swallwell is not going on massages show to tell the world he should not have consorted with a Chinese spy

Democrats seats will be sought after by worse people. We’ve been witnessing this for decades

Republicans are well known for grabbing defeat from the mouth of victory.

Trump ran as a Republican but he’s not one. He doesn’t cower to these people.

Years and years after this DBag was my congressman. All of this was public and well known outside the MSM. HE didn’t even have a residence in my district — like other CaCaLand politicos.

Yes, they keep getting away with it ‘cause gov’mt lacks the spine and balls to throw them in jail.

I* sure hope they can not get away with anything, for that has been going on far too long already.

Good to see they could fit a nazi in there somewhere. It’s not the Maine nazi but, close enough.
