FBI Corruption? Incompetence? I Know, Give 'em a Raise!
That's exactly what Congressional Democratic Leadership wants done. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have redefined chutzpah to the point of insanity.
Not three days after the FBI's gross malfeasance and incompetence in their mishandling of the Parkland Florida massacre, these cretins have the unmitigated gall to publicly ask for another $300 million to add to the FBI's budget.
But, is that $300 million to deal with real domestic threats to the lives and safety of Americans? No.
It's to combat Russian Trolls.
Seriously, I kid you not.
This is a classic example of these people having a narrative prepped and scheduled to wrest control of the news cycle and create layer upon layer of fake news replete with fake (read: paid by George Soros) outrage. Robert Mueller's indictment of 13 Russian individuals and entities in connection with election tampering is a joke.
And not even a good one, by Washington D.C. standards.
This is the kind of joke that hits the audience like a lead zeppelin and the production crew has to foley in a laugh track for the Netflix special. It's cruel and disgusting display of lawlessness masquerading as investigation.
Schumer and Pelosi need a wedge issue for the mid-terms elections. And absent anything else to wield against Trump -- the economy is good, tax cuts are popular, gun control is going nowhere -- Russophobia is it.
And they will run with this all the way to a crushing defeat at the ballot box.
No one in the right mind believes there is anything between Trump, his staff and the Russians. All that's there is guilt by association and alternative facts. What is there was the beginnings of contacts designed to open lines of communications between the U.S. and Russian leadership that would fulfill Trump's campaign pledge to improve relations with Russia.
And that is now treason in the minds of grand-standing, hyper-partisan dying Baby-Boomers like Pelosi and Schumer.
The Real Reason
This is the modus operandi in politics. If there is government failure it's not because of incompetence. It's because the taxpayer is too cheap to give them the right tools for the job. So, give us more money because we are government and have the moral high ground.
If there is anything this sordid period of U.S. history should teach the average person it is that these people work for themselves and not for us. We elected Trump and the FBI took it upon themselves to doctor evidence, harass, indict and collude with members of the executive branch and a private organization to overturn that election.
Instead of expanding the FBI's budget by $300 million, it should immediately be cut by $300 million.
If Pelosi and Schumer had an ounce of shame in their family tree going back three generations they would sit down and shut up. But, they can't.
Winning in Washington is all that matters, no matter the cost, no matter the optics.
Our government is the single biggest organization ever to stride this planet in terms of manpower, real power and consumption of resources.
It employs more than 20% of the U.S. workforce, consumes around 25% of GDP (which shouldn't be added to the calculation in the first place) and makes a mess of everything it touches. Why would we give an obviously corrupt and politicized FBI another $300 million to combat 80 Russians armed with Tweetdeck and Photoshop?
The number is so outrageous it must have a different purpose.
And, make no mistake, that purpose is to expand surveillance and curtailment of political activities of Americans, not Russians.
Another scenario is even worse. This $300 million could be spent to intervene overseas through inter-agency operations, allowing the FBI to pay the CIA to expand operations in Russia?
Neat trick to get around Trump's proposed agency budget cuts, no?
Mr. President, Tear Down this Blue Wall
No, what needs to be done here is a clean sweep of all of these departments. What needs to happen is election reform to ensure that Schumer, Pelosi and their backers don't steal twenty House seats in November through more blatant ballot stuffing like what occurred in Alabama in December.
Mueller's investigation is nothing more than a headline generator to assist a broke and busted DNC fund raise for the mid-terms. Why do you think they're already floating names like Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney for 2020? This is to give Progressives hope.
And you know what hope is right?
Hope is the thing you have when you have nothing else.
With this latest blatant shill for more taxpayer-funded political witch-hunting, the Democrats expose just how little they have.
Even someone like myself, who comes from a deep blue state, finds the current Democratic party's collective behavior shameful, outrageous, and downright criminal. I don't understand what happened. We need a book or movie to explain their downfall: Once was Noble
It truly is stunning to watch these people veer off into Loony Land, thinking that their shrinking base will propel them to greater electoral victory. This is why Trump's war on the media is so important.
The more pressure he puts on them, the worse things get for them, the more desperate they become and things like this actually make it out of the strategy sessions and into the public discourse.

at this time USA is going into a disorder politics. this is great matter of excitement for all other countries of the world.
It’s seriously insane people buy this propaganda! The left is full on insane!
And honestly many on the right push similar propaganda too. It’s two corrupt systems that care nothing about people
I'm firmly convinced the alt-right is a controlled opposition psy-op designed to fully discredit all forms of individualism in the last ditch effort to prop up french post-modern marxism.
That is a huge amount of money per russian tweeter! Each Russian who tweets and uses bots has almost 4million USD worth of FBI/CIA/Whatever watching them? Talk about a money pit....
If American people could see the breakdown of where their tax money goes and this showed up on the bill, they wouldn't want to pay for it.
And we shouldn't pay for this. Let Soros et.al. waste their money combating Russian trolls. He's the one who's so scared of it.
I want nothing more than to watch the Nazi collaborator bankrupt himself in the service of his Open Society.... pushing against the tide of human nature.
agreed
A lot is going to happen in upcoming days just sit tight and watch the show. @goldgoatsnguns
I don't understand.
The Federal end-table of intimidation has been doing exactly what they were created to do.
I know it differs a little† from what they say their mission is.
In all the movies the Federal Bullshit Institute fight crime. They are one of the greatest forces for good the movies have ever seen.
Hoover made sure that hollywood did the PR work.
Since their inception, the Federal Bureau of Indiscrimination has been the force for collecting information to control indiscriminate politicians and judges. You know, we couldn't have them running around voting will nilly.
And, of course their is no oversight. Because you can watch secret agents... because they're secret.
In my opinion, I feel if the Federal Bumbling Incorporated's budget was reduced to zero, they would carry on just as they have been.
