President Oprah: another hypocrite

When will there be charges posted against the Federal Prosecutors in the Bundy Trial? Why are they not currently disbarred? (or in proceedings for such?)

How about those FBI who willfully chose to lie under oath? Why aren’t they charged? Under suspension as well?

Any supervisors of those agents and prosecutors should have all their Emails subpoenaed to determine if they were aware of the malfeasance….and if they were involved. Did they condone or order the behavior? How about their bosses?

We should be working our way up the chain of management to root out this rot….Gut them if we need to. Ultimately, the agencies need cleansing….That this behavior happened at all, for any reason, shows that.

So much for oaths. So much for “Sworn” officers. So much for the “Fidelity”, “Integrity” parts of the FBI motto.
So now we have 2 instances of the FBI lying and subverting investigations. Manufacturing and/or withholding evidence…..failing their oaths.

I have known a fair number of FBI agents. They may have been foolish, uneducated, idiotic, shortsighted and just plain dumb sometimes….But the ones I knew were honest, at least. The New FBI? I cannot say….I do know that whatever they say I will not believe without corroborating evidence. 

All you assholes who think a tax cut for nearly everyone is a Bad Idea:

Fuck you. If you want more money in the treasury, feel free to write a check.

Feel free to reduce your lifestyle and level of living to the subsistence level.

Then write a check for the difference between your needs and your income.

Make it out to “US Treasury”.

Until you do that, shut up.

So I had the occasion to talk about the “SWAT” shooting (that I posted about here) with an ex cop.

His take: “Dude didn’t obey orders, so the shooting is justified”.

I pointed out that dude had no idea what was going on, and WAS ON HIS FRONT PORCH….. that some folks he couldn’t identify (maybe) shouted at him from across the street….that he was at least 30 yards (more like 60) away from the cops that had cover.

His take: If a cop tells you to do something, you’d better do it so you don’t get shot”.

I pointed out that it wasn’t like a cop was, you know, on the porch…in uniform, giving the orders.

His response: “I don’t know, I haven’t seen the video”.

I then asked, if he hadn’t seen the video, how could he judge?

“Doesn’t matter, it just matters what the cop on the scene thought. If he thought the dude was a threat, then the shooting was justified.”

I pretty much pulled back from the conversation at that point, ’cause it wasn’t gonna go anywhere…..

His parting shot? “If you see a cop at 2 am in your bedroom, you’d better do what he says or you could get shot….and that is justified too.”

I refrained from pointing out that ANYONE in my bedroom uninvited at 2 AM is probably also gonna get shot…I also refrained from asking him who he, or any cop, was that they thought they were justified in giving me orders?

But if cops really think this way, or even a significant fraction (by “significant”, I mean like more than 2%)  of them do, how can we be safe around them? If all they need to be “justified” (at least in their minds) to use deadly force is that they think anyone is a threat, then how can we let them interact with the rest of us? I, as a concealed carry holder have much more stringent rules than that for using deadly force, shouldn’t the “trained professionals” have at least as stringent rules of engagement?

More importantly, should we allow officers with that mindset to, you know, police the rest of us?

How there are lots of articles lately trying to whitewash the past actions of the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (and explosives now too)) and how now they are unable to do their (self defined) job because they are terribly underfunded and all?

Someone who wasn’t paying attention might think that the ATF has some pull with some folks in the Media and is trying to keep the agency from disappearing altogether or something…or at least gain funding.

Cliven Bundy walks free as federal judge dismisses Bundy Ranch standoff case

I never did see what they though he had done wrong, except defy the Feds.

Now, when will we see charges against the Federal lawyers for Malfeasance and Prosecutorial Misconduct?

(And then those Federal officers who threatened all those protesters with firearms?)

to sleep, nor would you ever not have to have your head on a swivel.

I’d find a way to finish you. And it wouldn’t be quick,

And yes, you’d better believe that they were nobody to mess with.

Some little old ladies are just that kind of bad-ass even when they are old.

Nearly 100 year old woman huntress bags a deer. She turns 100 on Tuesday.

Joe is absolutely right.

If the Feds wanna say they can regulate pot, then why don’t they regulate the sales (and availability) of booze? Why can i buy it here in Indiana in a bar, but not in a package store on Sunday? Hows come I can buy it in Illinois on a Sunday but not in Indiana? How about county to county in Kaintuky? Some places you can buy it, some places you can’t. States rights mean something.

The way I see it, the Feds can prevent inter-state commerce, but not in-state commerce. This is, again, a States Rights issue.

And, as stated in the linked commentary, the best way for the GOP type folks to retain power is to let this go….to allow the STATES to make their choice.

But, realize that one cannot have the Feds stay out of pot and booze, and yet require Federal reciprocal carry rights.  Pick one way or the other.

If you don’t feel the need to carry a gun because you believe the government will keep you safe, why do you care if I or anyone else decides to Carry a gun? If anyone tries to harm you, the government will stop it right? Where Is your faith in government?
