I think citation needed here that FBI or any law enforcement agency for that matter is anti-trump.
If anything given their deep racial history not that long ago, I would characterize them as very pro trump.
Also, whistleblowers within the FBI have come forward in recent years to:
• Accuse Timothy Thibault of running cover on Hunter Biden's laptop.
• Accuse the FBI of manipulating case files to inflate the domestic threat perception towards conservatives.
• Accuse leaders within the FBI of "weaponizing" the agency against conservatives.
• Complain about retaliation when raising concerns about these and other instances of bias and misconduct.
Isn't this common knowledge?
I think a lot of people give Trump benefit of doubt when he says these things, but he literally said them.
Aside from Trump not many people deny Biden won 2020. How would Biden have become president?
The "you won't have to vote again" was clearly him saying that he didn't care if the people vote again, because it won't benefit him.
He didn't say that he'd be pleased if the press was murdered, in those words. Though I agree that what he said was awful.
This is the thing about Trump. He says things that are dumb or incendiary, then his opponents make it sound 100x. Then people who aren't terminally online see it and think, "is that all there is?" and it makes them think that he's not that bad, ignoring the actual bad things he's saying.
I agree that he says incendiary things, but he is also a poor communicator and so he says provocative things that are left ambiguous.
"I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote,".
What does he mean by "have it fixed"? Have the elections fixed? It's hard to imagine what else he can fix so that people won't have to vote anymore.
“I have this piece of glass here,” Trump said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much,” Trump said. “I don’t mind. I don’t mind.”
Yes, he didn't literally say "pleased" he said "I don't mind". Barely a difference when discussing the finer points of whether someone should murder the press.
The rhetoric and lies you've repeatedly said about Trump is exactly the reason your party was so soundly rejected in the landslide electoral college, the popular vote, the senate, and the house. Your lies and hoaxes don't work anymore.
“The central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed,” reads the report. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.” ... lying about having evidence of voter fraud to the public, repeatedly, then inviting supporters to the ellipse with "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!", telling the crowd that they need to "fight like hell" otherwise they were "not going to have a country anymore" (yes, the refrain of his apologists is that he also the word peacefully, but that was an outlier in the hours of speeches given that day), and inviting the crowd to march to the capitol with him (though he stayed at the White House), followed by a complete dereliction of duty to intervene, and more tellingly, instead calling senators. There's a lot more.
"I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote,". Like many things he says, he is really unclear on exactly what he means, but he did literally say "you don't have to vote again".
“I have this piece of glass here,” Trump said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much,” Trump said. “I don’t mind. I don’t mind.”
"60 Minutes should be immediately taken off the air [for] election interference. CBS should lose its license. This is the biggest scandal in broadcast history,”
Unless you think Robert Mugabe was democratic?
It's a crazy read
“
Not saying that this won't stop MAGA from trying - but at least there's a cultural element to this, that will stop the American people from just folding over and accepting dictatorship.
It’s interesting tradeoff that should in theory protect from tyranny.
It’s interesting what would happen in Russia if majority of population had guns.
Every executive order can get erased wholesale by the next President, and Trump only has 4 years.
We’ll live.
He’s gonna do his tit for tat because he’s a simple man, not a great one, and certainly not an epic dictator.
I’m not defending him, I just think the grand dictator spin has always been nutty.
