The term “Weaponization” keeps coming up with reference to the DOJ and the FBI and just about any department or organization that is actually doing the job they were created to do. This is especially true if that job is looking at corrupt activity and specifically if that effort is directed toward Trump and his attempts to overturn the election, stealing classified information or sticking his fingers is someone’s body orifices.
Why is it weaponization but rather, they are doing their jobs. The reason is that with investigation there are certain things that are being exposed and the result of catching someone with their hand in the cookie jar or finger in an orifice is leading to rather large settlements or jail time. Neither of these options make T happy because, “I could shoot someone on the streets of New York and get away with it” is not having great luck in the “getting away with it” category.
It is unlikely that he would shoot someone, that would take involvement. The only thing he knows how to shoot is his mouth and that never seems to be out of ammunition, most of it fictitious, or an out and out slanderous lie. So we talk of weaponization and we have T right in the middle of winding up those that believe his line of horse shit and they are all ready to go do the dirty work for him. The ones that stormed the Capital are finding out how much he thinks of them, as I am guessing he has yet to pick up the legal fees for any one of them.
Then we have members of Congress that have someone run against them and they go to the effort of finding out about the family to see if there is anything useful, as in a way to cause problems. That is weaponization for the purpose of being an ass hole. The person that is running against you should be your focus, not family members, they are not running for office. Then you go get a “News” media involved and possibly endanger someone for the sake of your campaign.
Well if the party you are running against finds out that you worked as a Stripper to get through college or maybe the Mustang Ranch, wouldn’t that be great in a headline. Those are just two examples of the things that could be dug up and of course with scab newsagents running around your reputation could go down the drain in short order. That outcome would be deserving as you have weaponized the media to make life difficult for one, it is only fair they hand it back.
The one thing I would like to see coming from Congress is that they can all present themselves in an adult fashion. All we have seen for at least 7 years is childish nonsense, pointing figures, name calling, and in general slapping one another around and getting nothing done. How about you all remember why you got elected, to take care of the nation’s business, not the party’s business, and get on with it.
