EndlessSky grade in Debate 101: F

Edit: I've already won the argument, because you can't provide anything to backup your claim.



You made the claim that the executive branch doing duties of the executive branch was improper and required a “watchman”

Leave it to you to completely misunderstand the meaning of that post. It was simply referencing the call for a "special counsel to investigate the special counsel". Maybe it would make more sense to you if I did it as a "Yo Dawg" meme, instead?

I think yesterday won the headline contest for 2018, its going to be really hard to top those from WaPo & NYT:

Quote
The FBI didn’t use an informant to go after Trump. They used one to protect him.

F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims


:rofl:


It's amazing how bad the FBI fucked up during the 2016 election. The sham investigation into Clinton, the letter to Congress that likely swung the election, the shady FISA warrant process, making decisions based on public polling data, and now potentially planting an informant in a political campaign. Admittedly, we still have to hear more facts about that last item.

Trump is right to go after the FBI. I'm not sure how any American has much faith in the Bureau right now. Although Trump did it for the wrong reasons, firing Comey was the right move. I'm not certain why anyone trusts what Comey has to say. Our intelligence community has been acting like an unchecked fourth branch of government, and they really don't like getting called out for their shenanigans.

The last president to clash this hard with American intelligence was Kennedy.

It would be more in line with your intelligence too.

whats ironic is the NSA is specifically mentioned in Good Will Hunting - its the agency during one of Damon’s character’s interviews before he goes on an awesome monologue. and it still flew under the radar for nearly two decades
