Paying for your item and being told you cant have it. Its not yours.
Thats what is being done with these investigations and reports. WE the American taxpayer foot the good damn bill. The reports are stolen from us. We need to start suing. ALOT.

(25,605 posts)Hur investigated President Biden for having a few classified documents. One of the documents was the Secret service route that it was going to take to get Joe to his son's funeral,
Garland then releases the entire Hur report which claimed that the only reason that Hur didn't prosecute President Biden was because he was old and feeble and forgetful. Garland showed the piece of shit that he is to release those lies.
Garland could release the Mueller report.
Garland still has time to release the Smith reports without being overly redacted.
Garland stated it publicly when he said he would not be partisan, he was speaking to Magats.
I double dare Garland lovers to defend this.

(10,201 posts)What we REALLY need is exactly what WON'T happen - a general strike and complete shut-down of the economic engine that allows the powerful to believe that they are untouchable and that no one will ever truly stand up to them. Sadly...humanity is easily distracted and led astray and they have the most omnipotent propaganda devices in human history stuck 6 inches from every human face that can read and they control the information and the response of the easily swayed masses.
I recommend no longer giving a fuck about the ruin and ravage that is imminent. Watch it as a spectator sport and pick a "team" to root for...it will have about the same effect on the outcome, but you may steal some enjoyment from the shit show.

(4,620 posts)because it sounds and feels so defeatist, I agree with you. And to a large extent, that's what I've been doing since the election.
Americans are too soft, too scared, and too dominated to do a general strike. Other countries aren't like us. Their citizens protest, riot, and actually run out bad government actors. They shut down not just a city... they shut down cities all over the country. Just imagine what could happen here if Americans could come together to do something like that. But "coming together" is the one thing that won't happen... period. There's too much of a political/sociological/religious divide and it's all but 50/50. Without buy in from everyone, strikes like that aren't effective. Our oligarchs just hire scabs and fire everyone else.
Oh, to be like the French....!

(10,960 posts)Jack Smith has multiple copies of that report hidden away
digital copies are rather easy to hide well.
Im thinking he should release it in a book available for purchase or if motivated as a free download.
Hed probably have to get out of the country first.

(3,591 posts)enough? TSF in his presser said something about Smith going back to The Hague.
What frosted me was TSF accusing the Biden admin of "playing the refs" -- meaning judge shopping. Then his own personal judge, Cannon, blocks the Smith report. Usual projection.

(4,620 posts)that's why everything that impinges on freedom of body, freedom of love, freedom of religion, etc., goes through that damned TX court. That judge there is one step away from declaring a theocracy all on his own. And, regardless of what venue SHOULD hear a case, somehow it always ends up with that TX judge.

(36,594 posts)All their weird bullshit complaints are window dressing because they don't have the balls to live authentically. Most would be fired from their employment because in the real world rapists don't get promotions after they are exposed.
