I like this game. So long as mafia and cartels and such stay out of government, it really isn't a big deal. What's racketeering anyway? But it's a law, so the president should realistically be held to that standard even if it doesn't matter so much if others do it.

This is possibly the dumbest post in the history of the internet. Genuinely feel bad for you

I might have interpreted the response differently. My interpretation - crimes should indeed be punished. When politicians commit crimes they should be punished and it should be well noted in the media.

But I may be misinterpreting his post.

This is correct.

The entire dialog is bizarre. My larger point was that I admittedly would not be sharing content in this thread about random anonymous private citizens committing charity fraud. Similarly nobody would ever share content in this thread about random government employees using their gmail account for work. I don't think this is even a remotely controversial opinion.

Fair enough, I guess. I interpreted you saying that you didn't care as meaning you didn't care.

Yeah, I think this thread has pretty much jumped the shark. Maybe we should all jump over to the Caps board and start over.

Some agents in the FBI didn't want Trump to be POTUS - therefore the FBI did not want Trump to be POTUS.

We are finally onto the right logic for the mess we are in.

Equally, some agents didn't want Hillary to be POTUS. Therefore the FBI did not want a POTUS.

This impactable logic string leads us to the infallible conclusion that the FBI wanted Dick Chaney to become the GPUSFBI (Grand Poohbah of the United States of the FBI).

I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out... sigh.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

When the Jets jumped the Sharks, they called it a westside story. Either way, leather jackets seem to be required.

Hayyy, dude coulda got krupke'd.

Yeah I think this is a little bit of a cop out.

Like who exactly at the top of the FBI did not want Hillary Rodham Clinton to become president?

Because I have seen nothing but the top officials in the Obama administration do nothing but bend over backwards to clear her and observe her of any wrongdoing whatsoever.

So that’s a little disingenuous.

Now Trump? Different story clearly.

And again I ask which one of you are OK with Trump and his administration doing the exact same things in 2020?

LOL that you called someone else disingenous. Let me ask you this... Do you think your brain functions properly, or are you intentionally full of shyt? I give you the benefit of the doubt and opt for the brain disfunction choice, but others say it's option 2. But maybe... it's both. I got your back bruh. You can salute me like Trump does to the North Korean military. Javale McGee hasn't made a mistake that clownish, right bruh? :nod: What's that? He did it on purpose? Alrighty then Champ.

C'mon now, there is no equivalency. There is a big difference between a random FBI agent merely having a personal preference for a particular candidate and the agent in charge of impartially investigating Trump saying "we'll stop it" in reference to Trump becoming President.

It's also noteworthy that this latest Strozk text wasn't merely redacted from the original transcript we saw months ago. It was completely deleted from the exchange! That's a clear and obvious cover up, and presumably a crime of tampering with evidence.

There was also another Strozk/Page exchange that was completely expunged (rather than merely blacked out) from the original transcript. In it, Strozk said: "**Wishing for @realDonaldTrump to resign a la Watergate**".

Yup, we've finally gotten there. Quoting scripture to justify ripping babies from mothers. There's a special place in hell....

http://biblehub.com/isaiah/13-16.htm "Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated."

http://biblehub.com/hosea/13-16.htm "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."

http://biblehub.com/psalms/137-9.htm "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."

Yes folks, that's the Bible! It says dashing little kids brains open on a rock is ok so it's totally fine!

Again...you walk right up to edge but refuse to take the next step. :D

What does Strozk know that we don't? You see, you're operating under the assumption that Trump is Saint Michael and couldn't possibly have done anything wrong.

The rest of us are operating under common sense protocol and know that Trump is a thug, conman, pos human being based on history and whatever Strozk may know could very well make him a goddamn Patriot. :roll:
