The Next President is...

[TreeA10]

130,000 federal employees make more than the highest paid governor in the U.S. They don’t like being called swamp dwellers and will do whatever it takes to defend their swampy turf and paycheck because they know other swamp dwellers will not hold them accountable.

Is there any state without cops? How did it work before? Literally any answer will work, it's not the the FBI was the "right answer." It was just *an* answer.

Yeah, I get it.  So we're just changing names?

Does it have to centralized at the federal level? Have the same jurisdictions? Authorities? Sure you can boil everything down to "law enforcement" and then say you're just changing names, but by that logic the US is just another government with a different name.

 

The structure matters in protecting against abuse.

The US security state has grown out of control. Well beyond any constitutional boundaries.

…your first thought is to go General Jack D. Ripper?

Did you say “Wing Attack Plan R”?

I mean, it's not like we've had stellar accounting from the Pentagon at any point in the last 20 years, and probably since the Reagan Era.

So that makes it ok? Or am I reading too much into your comment?

I don't think it's ok. My point is that it's not limited to this administration. It isn't a GOP vs Dem thing... it's a giant bureaucracy that thrives on getting money from congress for perceived threats, with very little oversight on how the money is actually spent.

But add this to the other things the buffoons currently in charge and then it paints a very obvious picture to me. They are incompetent.

America, where we elect the same people and expect different results. Biden has been in politics since Nam.  Explain this to the people and they sling shit on me, kinda like a zoo full of monkeys.

Oh and look at CQ, his wife and other senior GOs laughing.

That was funny, but also probably a good move too.  Even funnier, he tripped over his teleprompter.

Literally stage left, didn't see that; but saw the laughing Generals

Wondered immediately if it was his own foot or the sandbag. Wished for a full viewpoint as that would be a difference

If he wasn’t the politician he is, he’d be in a home, probably nearing hospice. Its insane people have propped that guy up to be the President. Its absolutely humiliating, for him and the country at large.

Yes, his lack of SA is pretty frightening.  I've worked with the elderly before, and the first thing they do in a situation like this is blame something else on their incident - this is exactly what he did.  Watch the way he walks, he doesn't scan at all.  When he started out as POTUS, I thought this kind of thing was funny, but his mental state is just plain scary and sad now.

100%...he doesn't walk, he shuffles which happens in older people as their brain function declines.  This is a complete embarrassment for our country.

A month from death (after 3 years of fighting cancer) my dad looked better than that, no shit. I wonder what the hell they put in him to get him through public appearances (check out his ludicrously dilated pupils during many speaking engagements).
