    So even Bukele who once referred to himself as the "world's coolest dictator" recognizes banana republic tactics.

    Democrats have not only ran the economy in the ground they are embarrassing the US on a global scale.


    Come November congress needs to be minus as many democrats as can be voted out.

    Bird's of a feather flock to each other's aid, IOW fascists protect fascists. They know how fragile their grip is one the power they seek.

    Let's keep it real, the left would support the FBI summarily executing the entirety of the Republican Party. The ONLY thing that matters is that progressive elite maintain their iron fisted control of power.... amirite?

    LOL! How is Bukele "protecting" anyone. Looks like he admires the communist tactics of the democrats.

    So true and many of the Democrats know it. They really crapped the bed on this one.

    When your supporters have to look to people like the leaders of Russia and El Salvador to find arguments, it's a pretty sad state of affairs.

    This is a refutation of my accurate post? Well, it sucks as a counter point. Try again:
    "Bird's of a feather flock to each other's aid, IOW fascists protect fascists. They know how fragile their grip is one the power they seek."

    No I am not. The reason many dictators do not use strong-arm tactics today is because of world opinion. Bukele is admiring the tactics of the democrats.

    Should political opponents always be immune from prosecution?

    It's not like Biden ran in 2020 by holding rallies chanting "lock him up!"

    Instead, he openly cheered the J6 Commission unlike Gerald Ford and then laughably claimed to the world that he first knew of the raid via twitter. Only we know for a fact that for example Eric Holder was once Obama's wingman and Merrick Garland has been even more on step with the Biden WH including the interference in domestic matters, etc.

    This was but an escalation and not something abnormal, we'd just been putting up with it until raiding someone who was cooperating with the investigation. Now as voters,we are keenly aware that the justice department does not have blinders on as we come to expect it to. And if we like that kind of America, we'll vote to keep the party in power. If we don't, we'll vote independent or Republican.

    You are the one expecting the DOJ to put blinders on.

    For the vast majority of the DOJs existence, yes it had blinders. Trump may have been the one to start it in 2016, but Democrats were originally right to say that's not who we are. For the convenience of power, for the easiest path to taking out a so-called political foe they chose this path.

    It only cements that I am right to be independent, as both parties take us to a place where an independent justice department does not exist.

    Both parties are garbage, but Trump is a criminal, and the DOJ would not be doing it's job if it just decided not to pursue him.

    Oh yes, the fascists are protecting the fascists. Biden and Garland are being protected by many in the federal government, many in the mainstream media.

    I wonder where his — and your — outrage was when Hillary was investigated by the FBI when she was a “presidential contender”?

    trump signed a law making having classified material a felony with minimum sentencing — do you feel the law shouldn’t apply to him?

    LPT: if dictators are taking your side you should probably reevaluate your ideology

    Used to be poor folks under dictatorial regimes that gazed longingly at our freedom. Now its other authoritarian governments voicing jealousy of what ours can get away with.

    Pretty damn obvious he's calling out Biden's Sanctimonious BS. We all know our government would criticize any government leader that did this to a political opponent.

    Was it's Trump's fbi then? Every law should apply to everyone, and punishment has a precedent, do you agree? This dictator is saying don't call me with your BS, you are as bad as me.

    Well I can set aside the contradiction, but Biden did not do this, this is all on Trump. Those documents do not belong to him, it is illegal to remove the documents.

    This has been relayed with the direct link to the 1978 Presidential records act. There is no excuse, period. Yet Trump supporters keep making ridiculous excuses for Trump on this clearly defined law.

    Big deal? It is just documents. Are you saying you now give a damn about Hillary's emails? Of course not because it is not politically convenient for you.
