Don’t you wish we had Byron Donalds as House Speaker? Instead we got Kevin McCarthy who got outwitted by Joe Biden in the debt negotiations, not Donalds who is declaring a Constitutional crisis because of the FBI acting as a rogue agency above the law. A sickening thing happened at the Capitol today when a children's choir was shut down for signing the National Anthem. Jamiee Mitchell, founder of Gays Against Groomers, explains why she’s moving to Florida despite liberals saying it’s homophobic. She also humors Owen Shroyer in a Trump versus DeSantis debate. Did China hit Guam with a weather weapon followed by a cyber attack? The American media is barely even covering it.
Wonder if people under Stalin said to the NKVD secret police and enforcers (”known for its role in political repression”):
“You should be ashamed. We don’t like what you’re doing and want you to turn yourselves in.”
Opposing the FBI so far is similar. Gives the bureau a good laugh.
He’s not wrong.
The FBI is part of the Executive Branch, the officer in charge is the President.
The FBI hasn’t answered honestly to Congress in ages. We’ve been in a perpetual Constitutional crisis for decades it seems.
RE: The FBI is part of the Executive Branch, the officer in charge is the President.
So that guy is Biden. Hope he isn’t falling down on the job.😏
No new building. Break it up. No serious talk of what needs to be done. Even Trump won’t go there.
So zero out their budget. Empty cans make the most noise.

DEFUND THIS ROGUE SCAM !!!!
He served (1919–1921) as special assistant to the attorney general, A. Mitchell Palmer, and played a leading role in the “Red raids,” a mass roundup and deportation of suspected Bolsheviks and anarchists who had emigrated from Europe but who had not acquired U.S. citizenship.
Hoover eliminated partisan politics from the organization’s appointments and improved recruiting and training methods.
In 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the FBI wide intelligence and counterespionage functions. These powers originally were directed largely against the Nazis. Hoover extended their functions to include monitoring and disruption of groups that he thought were affiliated with Communists. He later published an anti-Communist book, Masters of Deceit (1958).

Hoover is the subject of Yale historian Beverly Gage's new biography, G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century. Gage seeks to complicate and flesh out the life and legacy of Hoover, who is rightly notorious for often brushing aside constitutional limits on state power like so much police tape at a crime site.
Yet she points out that he opposed the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, undermined Sen. Joe McCarthy's overwrought anti-communist witch hunts, and refused to do political surveillance for Richard Nixon, inadvertently leading to the bungled Watergate break-ins and the 37th president's fall from grace.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
No big surprise there’s always been Constitutional crisis whenever the democrats have control in D.C. look around at all the new people from 160 other countries to start with.
