 John Brennan: Biden Intelligence Agencies To Investigate Pro-Trump ‘Bigots’ And ‘Libertarians’
January 21, 2021 By Jordan Davidson

Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan said federal intelligence agencies’ top priority, under the leadership of President Joe Biden, is seeking to root out people in pro-Trump “insurgency” groups filled with “white supremacists.”

“I know, looking forward, that the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed are now moving in laser-like fashion, to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we’ve seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength, and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists — so authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, and even libertarians,” Brennan said on MSNBC.

It's ALWAYS open season on de white debbils in the DNC. ESPECIALLY the ones that don't live in the big urban cities of the northeast.

Am I the only one wondering if Slow Joe knows he and  his own family are whiter than Snow White?

I bet if you said that to him,he would say "Huh?"

You may not be interested in identity/racial politics.
But the politics of identity and race are very interested... in YOU.

It has been coming. The Democrat Leftists have been champing at the bit for a race war for decades. They blamed the OK City bombing on the Turner Diaries, and every failure of policy, direction, and achievement is blamed on whitey and the GOP, even though the Democrats were the architects of most of it. Now, they have the wind at their backs, the bit in their teeth, and are riding a wave of blaming Trump (and supporters) for everything wrong about the country. They have been doing it so long they believe their own propaganda.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

We'll see how long the Dems can fool the public into believing the myth of "white supremacist" terrorists being the biggest threat to the country.
Of course, many libs (including some family relations) were gullible enough to believe the fake claims of white supremacists instigating all the riots last summer. My two liberal stepdaughters fell for the hoax. They really believe right-wing agent provocateurs instigated the riots in the Twin Cities where they live.
Meanwhile, Antifa/BLM still marauds unchecked in a number of cities, and the body count from The Black Klan rises to record levels in many cities.
The capacity of Americans to be fooled by their liberal leaders should not be underestimated.

When you mix socialism, grievance-ism, and and a love of power...you essentially get Orwell's 1984. What we're seeing is the beginning stage of Orwell's nightmarish body politic...I wonder if those who claimed there was no difference between President Trump and the Left have yet awoken from their delusion? Probably not...they are still looking for a "softer spoken and purer conservative" who doesn't say things that anger the Left.

Honestly, anyone to the right of Joe Manchin who failed to vote for Trump is fully responsible for this tyranny that is now being imposed. When the barbarians are at your gates, you don't fail to back the one guy willing to jump into the breach and fight his ass off against the horde....and that is exactly what the NT's, establishment fan boys, and other purists on our side of the aisle of done. Unfortunately, the consequences of THEIR inability to see the forest ensures the repercussions from their actions will fall upon all of us on the Right.

Maybe this isn't the time to chastise my fellow Republicans and Conservatives...but its hard to ignore their willing complicity, or at least electoral abstinence...which have opened the gates to the barbarian horde.

Yeah right whatever. I don't care what the left does. I care what the RIGHT does - Or rather, those purporting to be on the right. And HELL NO, I will never vote for a Republican that spends like a drunken sailor. And I sure as hell will not change my mind and throw fiscal conservatives under the bus. So stop with the butt-sore bull crap. The consequences are your own (as a party), not mine. Because the consequence of willfully putting my grandchildren in debt is that my vote goes away. Imagine that.

And no, Tumpy ain't no different. Somebody has to stop this stupid-ass spending or nothing else is going to matter anyway. It probably doesn't matter now.

So shut up and eat your damn peas. There ain't no more candy. That's how this works.

No one's disputing your "right" to not vote...or to vote for whomever. However, you do not get to escape accountability and consequences for your actions/inactions. You, and those on the right who vote/notvote as you did...are fully responsible for the Socialist takeover and deprivation of our freedoms that is not resulting from the Biden administration. Put directly, everything that occurs under a Biden administration these next 4 years, is your fault. There was only one way to stop Biden from becoming President in this electoral process...and that was to vote for Trump. Had you done so, none of that which will follow under Biden would have transpired.

So take those peas and shove 'em up your 4th point of contact. So step up and take responsibility for helping Biden do this to us all.

And how short sighted is your concern about your "grandchildren going into debt"....for god's sakes man...we are all faced with the potential of our grandchildren being put into re-education camps! Debt will seem a paradise compared to the Socialist hell that is being brought down over the next 4-8 years. And just so you know, there ain't no candy in concentration camps either.

Nope. The output is the exact same... Leave Tumpy at the wheel and the spending is the same, and the economy crashes and burns, and tyranny comes out of those ashes anyway.

And it don't matter. The point in fact, the ONLY point in fact, is that someone has to take the Republicans to task for spending us into oblivion, including Tumpy, lest they think they can get away with it. Which they DO and have for a long, long, time because folks like you vote in fear.

Your fear will lead you to the very same place. I am paying double for food over what I was paying just two years ago, and you can bet your inflated money that is precisely because of all that care-free printing going on. And that will continue in an exponential fashion.

The reason liberals are winning is because there is no opposition. To include Tumpy. Every single thing he did that was any kind of good is *gone*. Poof! No eyebrows. But all the liberal crap he signed into law remains. And will remain. And I told you so.

So don't blame me - Blame your shitty party. They were the ones who were supposed to be fighting for Conservatism and they flat haven't. Not at all. not one friggin win in my lifetime.

Maybe you should look at what you'd have right now if they had done as they're supposed to all those many, many, years - To include the last four.

So no. Not my fault. I didn't vote either one of them bastards in there. And rightly so. Next time, hold them accountable, and you won't have to try to blame it on me.

OFFS! Please let's not start playing that damn if you didn't vote for him you voted against him game. Simplest way to look at it is that your vote if it was for Trump would probably have been negated by one of the God knows how many democrats that voted for Biden 2,3 whatever many times. Time to quit bitchin about what we can't change and start planning how to change what we can.

For pete's sake. the reality is that the electoral votes from Montana went to Trump, and one vote either way was highly unlikely to change that fairly predictable result. What @roamer_1 did with his vote in that grand scheme of things is moot, and becomes a matter of conscience for him. Nothing he could have done would have mad Biden any more or less likely to win. It is only in the local races we have any voice, and we need to exercise that voice first, last, and always.

Biden "won" because of massive and widespread fraud. Simple as that. It was further compounded by those who lacked the courage to face the shrieking harpies of the Media and do the right thing, for whatever reason, from being bought out to living in fear for their families.

That's right enough, @Smokin Joe , but quite beside the point.

We are instructed by the Founders to vote our conscience. Now, I suspect it is fair game to reason and cajole, to take steps to change the conscience of our fellows. That is kinda what we are all here for. But that vote, in the end, is MINE.

And I don't give a rip if my vote were the last effectual vote in a tied race - By the time my mind is made up, even that circumstance would not change my way. And I will tell you right now that it would not matter a whit, and I still would not vote that sob into office, any more than I would McCain't or Romulus. Because my conscience would not abide it.

That is no fault of mine... The criteria I require to lend my vote were not met. Simple as that.
That criteria is the well known basis of the Reagan Conservative Coalition, and in that, are legitimate in Conservative circles... And it should be no surprise at all that I would thereby adhere, Exactly as I did in the case of McAin't and Romulus, and for the exact same reasoning developed by the very same legitimate criteria. Criteria not only not met in Tump, but abused thereby.

So butt-hurt acolytes can go hang. The way to my vote is clear and Conservative, and that is the only thing I care about AT ALL in the field of politics. Beyond that is a game of fools, full of half-assed shifting criteria, nonsensical strategies, and phony ill-begotten compromises.

NONE of that matters to me and never will.. I am here to promote and defend the Principles of Conservatism, and I will do no other.

My God man, if George Washington favored a spending bill, you'd want him fired as General of the Continental armies. Jefferson was soft on the French....let's toss him out with the bathwater too. Trump fought...like a hell cat...against this Socialist takeover that is now underway. There WAS no one else who could...or would...carry out that fight from 2017-until now. I get that you hate conservatives who are imperfect, who are not fiscally conservative to the extent you want them to be, but not supporting him may have allowed those who want to END this Republic into full power.

If nothing else, the enemy of my enemy is my friend...you've let the Mongol horde into the city because the mayor was a big spender. That's not conscience, its national suicide.

And smokinjoe...I DAMN sure get what you're saying...I want the right to find a way to unite and fight back against this Socialist monstrosity. But if each of us...because of the dictates of our conscience...will ONLY vote for "our guy" with whom we agree on every point of conservative thought...we are doomed to division and defeat. If we're all "take my ball and go home" conservatives like roamer...if we don't get EXACTLY 100% of what we think is best/right...than we might as well just change USA to CCCP.

The nation has fallen to Socialism, and here we are quibbling about who's fiscally conservative ENOUGH and who is EXACTLY in alignment with EVERY aspect of conservatism as EACH of us defines it. As he said...a candidate must meet ALL of HIS criteria to earn his vote. If each of us takes that same position, we will NEVER coalesce around ANY candidate....and we will most assuredly always lose.

What roamer did was the equivalent of picking up his fiddle and playing away whilst Rome burned...and burn it did. Are we all going to keep acting with such madness on the Right?


Apologies for all the Caps.

Mesaclone, why do you bother trying to be rational with that roamer guy?
He has one tune:
"I'm a principled conservative."

I don't believe that he is.
I'm almost beginning to think that he's a paid disruptor.

He's been on my ignore list for a few years now.
He should be on yours.

@Fishrrman

I do not believe his intention is to be  a disruptor, free OR paid.

I believe he sees himself as a "rugged individualist". The whole "mountain man" thing. There is nothing wrong with that. We NEED people like that because they are always there,shouting out in protest. Without them,we might be tempted to not pay as much attention to what is going on as we should be paying,and the next thing you know something is going to slip by unnoticed.

You can bet your ass NOTHING is going to slip by HIM unnoticed.

Yeah,all the negativity can be a pain,but so what? Who ever gave any of us a guarantee that all of life would be hugs and puppy dog kisses?

As for the rest,he is not going to join the campaign of you,I,Trump or anyone else. He MIGHT cast a vote for Davy Crockett,but I'm not even sure about that.

On the other hand,I would almost be willing to bet money he will never cast a vote for Biden. Not even at gunpoint.

To the tune of FIFTEEN no make that DAMN NEAR TWENTY FRIGGIN TRILLION DOLLARS, damn right I would throw him out.

Trump fought...like a hell cat...

No, he flailed - And failed, bigtime... All gone. In good part because he was unable to play nice with others, and in some part for trusting the murder Turtle... Bit he failed alright. Part of what he promised was that he could make good deals - And that is truly false. He couldn't even get his own party in line. You can blame that on everyone else if you like... but at some point you will have to realize that he said he could do it and then did not. And because of it, anything worth a crap he did is now gone, because he could not get his own to write and pass the laws.

And he so incensed the other side, they were so pissed off, that they came out in hordes to take him out - Mainly because of his big mouth, as he really didn't do much lasting *at all*

Quote

Yeah, I heard the very same thing from the Romulans and the Mc Cainiacs before them. Always with the same messianic strains. If it's coming, then let it come, while we still have the means to fight it... And not kick the can down to my grands that may well not be anywhere near capable by then... Because y'all ain't been stopping nothing. Y'all ain't won a lick. And with all the compromise y'all seem willing to swallow, there won't be anything left to fight for, or with.

There is plenty to compromise on PAST upholding the things you were damn well put in there to do. The whole idea is that nobody goes under the bus. That means, fight like hell for ALL conservative principles. That didn't come anywhere close to happening, so... Seeya. Didn't believe he could (or would), and that was true. And I wasn't being prescient. It was plain the minute he snuggled up to Turtle.

He is not the enemy of my enemy. He's a NYC liberal. And he ran all my friends out of politics through his administrative revolving door. Now there are even less conservatives than before - all defamed, all politically wasted. Wrecked by none other than Tumpy. And Turtle.

Well yours obviously meet all your criteria too... and the same with everyone. And we are not to 'coalesce around a candidate'. By it's very definition, the Conservative Coalition coalesces around a set of principles. That's what it's damn well there for. The candidate is incidental except in that he adheres to those principle things. ALL of them.

What roamer did was the equivalent of picking up his fiddle and playing away whilst Rome burned...and burn it did. Are we all going to keep acting with such madness on the Right?

I did no such thing. I simply refused my endorsement to a candidate and party that didn't deserve it. That is what 'voting your conscience' IS. There must be consequences for bad actions, or there is nothing. That is the problem with voting for anything at all in fear of others. The end product of lesser evil is exactly as you see - A worthless party, incapable of any fight at all. So why,, tell me, should I vote for that?

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

@Fishrrman

I do not believe his intention is to be  a disruptor, free OR paid.


Between here and ToS since 01, I would think the answer to that would be self evident.

I believe he sees himself as a "rugged individualist". The whole "mountain man" thing.

Nah. Y'all hung me with that, not me. I certainly AM a fan of individualism, as most Conservatives are - It is the core difference that makes Conservatism and Libertarianism unique - Every other social contract starts in collectivism.

Yeah,all the negativity can be a pain,but so what? Who ever gave any of us a guarantee that all of life would be hugs and puppy dog kisses?

As for the rest,he is not going to join the campaign of you,I,Trump or anyone else. He MIGHT cast a vote for Davy Crockett,but I'm not even sure about that.

Not true. I was active in the TEA party. I was all ready to vote for Cruz. So I am not unreasonable.
I just find no reason to offer quarter on principles. I will not.

On the other hand,I would almost be willing to bet money he will never cast a vote for Biden. Not even at gunpoint.

Bet big - You'll win. I don't think I have ever voted for a Democrat in my life.
