Mike Mitchelltrump is going to fire the FBI agents that investigated him
I guess that's one way to discourage future investigations into illegal activities like sedition.

Yeah, the point is that this is what dictators and despots do....get rid of the people that are supposed to hold them accountable by calling them corrupt. Shit, we all know whose corrupt in this equation.
And, in the meantime, you pick a Chinese asset to head up the world's premier law enforcement agency that is charged with the responsibility of protecting the American people. A guy who has publicly stated he wants to get rid of the FBI.

If he does do it, it will be interesting to see how much the lawsuits will cost the US taxpayer. Because, those FBI agents are going to lawyer up quick.

SaeedTrump is behaving exactly like a dictator that has taken over power!
REVENGE!

ledvmWell fuck-me-a-runnin…we had a Chinese asset and his full blown Chinese agent son as POTUS and you have the gall to walk in here and start spewing the “asset” label again. Damn…the liberal idiots learned nothing the last go-round.
As to the FBI…just how much corruption do you require exposed this time (as apposed to the last time — when it all came out) to see there is a problem? Lawyer up???

Discovery is a bitch.
BTW, I saw your deleted post in the other thread before you deleted it.

p dog shooterEvery government official took a oath of office to up hold the laws and constitution.
Those who failed in those area's should be fired.
I was just following orders. Went away with Nuremberg.

Steve BertramTrump should have been investigated for his illegal activities and those who investigated him were doing their jobs. Total bullshit his firing them.
A deep state is what that orange turd is trying to create now, a federal bureaucracy that is not beholding the law but places loyalty to him above all else.

09 February 2025, 16:19
ledvmWell, I for one am looking forward to the lawsuits all these lawyered-up ex-agents bring. Nothing like discovery to shed daylight on a situation.

JudgeGKash Patel was asked what was the most important lesson he learned as a public defender. Having served in a similar position for three years, my answer would have been pretty much the same….
The power of the government (money, personnel and material assets) is overwhelming when focused against an individual, civil or criminal, guilty or not.
Some agents of the FBI who are accused of abusing that government advantage for political purposes are about to find out what it’s like to an individual with “big brother” sucking all the air out of the room.
If they somehow stay in law enforcement, maybe just maybe, they’ll understand a little bit that “Might doesn’t always make right”.
I don’t think they’ll like it.

The extent you go to trying to rationalize Trump's illegal and unethical behavior is shocking Ernest. Disgusting as well I will remind you.

And, Steve’s calling me disgusting is taken for what it is and from whom. Maybe he’s got a notice his USAID money is being cut off and when he’s in Gaza he’ll have to put $50,000,000 in quarters in the rubber machine at the filling station bathroom

Poor lil guy, not used to being held accountable for your behavior Ernest?
The post most certainly relates to the merits of Trump's illegal behavior, you are calling for the government to be used against FBI agents who were doing their jobs investigating the illegal behavior of that turd that you love so much.
You sound like a child trotting out that tired old "TDS" diagnosis every time someone points out what a shit that Trump is.

JudgeGThis quote (below) of Steve’s is a perfect example of one defaulting to a preordained conclusion before using any skill of comprehension a reader may have. A rational reader will immediately understand that zero value or merit is credited to Trump’s firing, prosecuting or dismissing FBI agents (or Trump’s own indictments ). It’s entirely about the “might” of the government against an individual and that the FBI agents who have chosen to sue may well have exposed themselves to that “might” . The FBI (and these agents) are used to being on the “might” side but now have taken a course that will expose them to the other. Godspeed if they are right and God help them if they are wrong (or if they run out of money, ‘cause the government won’t).
The agents have every right to sue and if correct in their assertions to prevail.
Steve, if you feel they’ve suffered injustices, send them money, because, as my Abscan client said, “Money talks and bullshit walks.”

Well, I didn't struggle with those questions until I became keenly aware of them by participating in ARPF.
Of course, I have long known that Religious True Believers are anti-critical thinkers. They can't be True Believers and critically think it out at the same time.
I've often wondered about the extent of it and the harm to themselves and others. It's a gray line for sure.
The question of extent arises acutely with characters like Lane. We can see some harm too.
The question is how can a person who exabits lack of critical thinking be successful in life's endeavors? And how much really does critical thinking and success in business carry over to the same degree in broader worldview and ideology?
We can find evidence in success by looking at the Mormon culture. Lots of success there in dealing with themselves. We have religious sects or cults around here and they self-deal a lot and garner business outside the cult too. Texas culture and society in which Lane lives and plays is also sect/cult-like. Lots of millionaires in that bunch.
But the notion that a person successful in business or within their skilled and learned profession is across the board a critical thinker is certainly flawed.
Religious belief is by definition and practice contra to critical thinking. The extent of spill over is obscure, but certainly there is some.
What's the effect in political beliefs?
We would like to have a definitive answer. We can be sure that the picture Lane likes to present is not the picture apparent.
I think Orwell said it best:
According to Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, doublethink is:
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink."It takes lots of practice to develop the skill of double-think, perhaps more time and effort than it takes to develop critical thinking skills.
The difference appears to be that double-think becomes rote, habitual, internalized, and that essentially is the point to achieve - to not have to bother thinking it through. It's the same principle as it applies to cult members, who for the most part are immune to deprogramming.
OTOH, critical thinking is never taken for granted and is conscious effort always.

You are devoid of critical thinking in certain realms, things like politics where you only see binary choices and you have made up your mind as to which team is right before you even hear the facts. Case in point, you claiming the EVERY GOP candidate is superior to EVERY dem candidate. Sorry, you fail the critical thinking test in that regard.

You are clueless Lane, not possible for you to clue someone else in. If you were to stop consuming some much right wing propaganda and come back to actual reality your opinions might have some validity, as it is you are little more than a yes man for whatever that POS Trump says or does.
Critical thinking is just not in your wheelhouse when it comes to politics, in that realm you are little more than a sheep.

Next time an aspiring surgeon/diagnostician/business EO asks me how I reached my success…I know now what to tell them!
Just be clueless and don’t worry about your critical thinking skills.

Thanks Steve, I always struggle with those questions.
Only on ARPF.
Well, I didn't struggle with those questions until I became keenly aware of them by participating in ARPF.
Of course, I have long known that Religious True Believers are anti-critical thinkers. They can't be True Believers and critically think it out at the same time.
I've often wondered about the extent of it and the harm to themselves and others. It's a gray line for sure.
The question of extent arises acutely with characters like Lane. We can see some harm too.
The question is how can a person who exabits lack of critical thinking be successful in life's endeavors? And how much really does critical thinking and success in business carry over to the same degree in broader worldview and ideology?
We can find evidence in success by looking at the Mormon culture. Lots of success there in dealing with themselves. We have religious sects or cults around here and they self-deal a lot and garner business outside the cult too. Texas culture and society in which Lane lives and plays is also sect/cult-like. Lots of millionaires in that bunch.
But the notion that a person successful in business or within their skilled and learned profession is across the board a critical thinker is certainly flawed.
Religious belief is by definition and practice contra to critical thinking. The extent of spill over is obscure, but certainly there is some.
What's the effect in political beliefs?
We would like to have a definitive answer. We can be sure that the picture Lane likes to present is not the picture apparent.
I think Orwell said it best:
According to Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, doublethink is:
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink."It takes lots of practice to develop the skill of double-think, perhaps more time and effort than it takes to develop critical thinking skills.
The difference appears to be that double-think becomes rote, habitual, internalized, and that essentially is the point to achieve - to not have to bother thinking it through. It's the same principle as it applies to cult members, who for the most part are immune to deprogramming.
OTOH, critical thinking is never taken for granted and is conscious effort always.
A horse wearing blinders can get around a race track, or respond to rein signals, quite well.
Lane, like so many MAGAts, willingly put on blinders and reacts to whatever Trump signals he wants.
"If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump

Yeah, the point is that this is what dictators and despots do....get rid of the people that are supposed to hold them accountable by calling them corrupt. Shit, we all know whose corrupt in this equation.
every president cleans house when they come in -- Clinton fired 377k of them - lmk when trumps gets to the halfway point
trump is firing these folks because he resents the FBI's efforts to be held to account for his wrongdoing. And, to dissuade future investigations.
It's obvious. It is also illegal. The one thing trump can't end or start with an EO is a court's jurisdiction over him and his activities.

Thanks Steve, I always struggle with those questions.
Only on ARPF.
You are devoid of critical thinking in certain realms, things like politics where you only see binary choices and you have made up your mind as to which team is right before you even hear the facts. Case in point, you claiming the EVERY GOP candidate is superior to EVERY dem candidate. Sorry, you fail the critical thinking test in that regard.
Solid critical thinking dictates that politics in the USA is a binary choice.
Let us know when you become capable of the critical thinking part rather than being a brain-washed cult member.

The people who I care about here know my capabilities. The ones I argue with here…I view very much as a cat views a mouse it is playing with. I have little regard for what your opinion is and in the end I already know I will win.

The power of the government (money, personnel and material assets) is overwhelming when focused against an individual, civil or criminal, guilty or not.
Some agents of the FBI who are accused of abusing that government advantage for political purposes are about to find out what it’s like to an individual with “big brother” sucking all the air out of the room.
I don’t think they’ll like it.
The extent you go to trying to rationalize Trump's illegal and unethical behavior is shocking Ernest. Disgusting as well I will remind you.
Not! Ernest is a patriot.
You are both full of shit.
That line^^^which always denotes victory in a debate.
Yep! Next he'll call you a racist.....or fascist
