How were the FBI and SS

radicalized?

Chilling.

I blame Chris Wray. He needs to resign or be fired.

He was appointed head of FBI by tfg, IIRC.

They get off on holding power over people...especially people who lean politically the other way...meaning us.

And look what Wray's, predecessor did to Hillary.

that the hierarchy of the Secret Service - and many of it's agents - are rotten to the core. Numerous FBI agents and leaders as well.

This does not bode well for our democracy prevailing.

If you feel the election was stolen and Biden is not the legitimate President or that you can no longer be objective in your sworn oath to the Constitution, you many turn in your weapon and badge without recrimination by on or before November 1...no questions asked, no loss of pay or benefits. You are hereby on notice that the DOJ will begin, in earnest, a thorough investigation into the allegations of malfeasance in the line of duty regarding ALL situations related to January 6 insurrection.

Time to get the message out there DOJ.

VPOTUS. This is as serious as it gets. Haul wrays ass in front of congress and ask him why he failed to protect the Congress people. He can say he didn’t know, that is a fucking lie.

One or two decisions that could have gone the other way and many in Congress and the Senate could have been killed. This could happen again with someone with brains.

constant exposure to a President's speeches, proclamations, propaganda and cheering loyal supporters can have an adverse impact over time on the person's sober objectivity.

I pity the SS not because they might have to take a bullet for a President but because they had to listen to Trump's shit upfront and center for four years.

Thanks for the thread cilla4progress
