  2. They have convinced people the FBI is corrupt, only so they can put their corrupt people in

  4. “I am an utterly compromised and paid-for traitor. I am contractually *incapable* of caring. Fuck my oath of office and fuck you for even asking me about this, you ridiculous lib.” – Bill hagerty

  5. They are still bringing up the weaponization of the FBI? I’m sure when trump uses the DoJ and everything else at his disposal to go after democrats, his side will praise him.

  7. We are not in the “risk of fascism” or “path to fascism” phase , we have transitioned to fascism fascism.  
    Stop pretending to be shocked. 

  8. What a pathetic interview. Host just let the guest ramble on and on and on.

  9. I may be a very small voice but! I _do care_.

    This is one of the most important things any administration can do to protect the Constitution. Without background checks it’s almost impossible to know where weaknesses lay buried.

    How can Congress agree to appointments when members really know little beyond an appointees public persona?

    These are people who will hold high level security clearances. A thorough SBI is paramount.

  10. The US really is a nation of stupid people now. I can only hope for an early death

  11. Flip the script to a Democrat doing this and they would, of course, be totally out of their minds.

  12. Republicans want more background checks on people coming over the border than people going into the highest cabinet offices of government lol.

  13. They don’t care about national security. Might as well give our nuclear codes to the Russians.

  14. Who cares? What difference does it make? The president elect is a convicted rapist, convicted financial crimes criminal and frequently traveled on Epsteins Lolita express. Does it really matter who is in his cabinet? If people already know you are a sex offender, no one can use that against you.

  15. God I hope there’s actually a deep state to protect us from these picks.

  16. Watching as the mass media normalizes elected domestic terrorists in plain view. Giving this clown, and all his domestic terrorism buddies, a pass on how utterly ridiculous his comments are has been the way that the largest media organizations made the seditionist acceptable to their mostly incurious and uncritical viewers.

  17. Bill Hagerty is wrong. America wants background checks on all of Trump’s choices. The guy is picking creepy unethical people. Background checks are a standard practice. Why would Americans want unethical people and practices with this administration. Trump’s whole campaign was about bigotry, bullying and lies. Trump and his cult are probably unable to be ethical.

  20. Jim Crow conservatism is their goal, rules for theee but not for me is Jim Crow conservatism!

  21. How are the goddamn GQP still shocking folks? We’re decades into this shitshow that wielded zero consequences for these ghouls. Now that they amassed all this power we will finally see them in their final form.

  23. It’s really telling by the way they act after being entrusted with power. This guy shouldn’t have been given power.

  24. Yes, they don’t care and voters don’t care. They saw who Trump was and what he had to offer and that his biggest vow was towards retribution. And they said “yeah why not?”

  25. If that is the case, why’s Diddy not AG. Seems nothing but bad breaks for that weirdo.

  26. When you’ve made the sale, you stop selling. The GOP keeps trashing on the current administration like they’re still campaigning. These people are idiots, however America wanted them. Here are your idiots.

  27. “I don’t care” – The actual f___ing motto of the fascist party from the last century in Europe….and now here in America.

  28. >Making our military stronger is absolutely critical

    My Brother in Christ our military budget is currently more than the next ten nations combined, how much stronger do we need to make it?

  29. The Crime Syndicate doesn’t care for law enforcement, and somehow they’ve taken over the country.

  30. I like Biden, but this is the time to put that fucking Supreme Court ruling to the test and get these background checks as an official act. Fuck the GOP and their fascist bullshit.

    And fuck “journalists” like Jonathan Karl. I read the quotes, and I can hear in my head how that exchange played out. If these people gave a fuck they would rip them to shreds about their hypocrisy and just how full of shit the GOP is.

    It shouldn’t surprise anyone because the media is owned by these billionaires and corporations.

  31. Absolutely disgusting. 
    Watching our Democracy and our institutions collapse in slow motion is sickening. 

  32. Republicans represent the worst performing states in the country, but they aren’t content with keeping their incompetence to their dumpster states they want to spread it nationwide.

  33. Republican are the anti-government party, they consider themselves above the law. Maybe they consider themselves to be the law.
