I was talking to a couple of buddies of mine and it turned to politics. One guy and I are pretty much on the same page. Our friend hates Biden and Trump equally and thinks RFK would be the guy to fix everything wrong in America. He thinks the Dems and the Cons are equally corrupt in Washington and that RFK would fix all that. He said time to clean house. I told him there is no way RFK could become President and even if he somehow managed to do that, what’s he going to do to clean house? Fire all politicians? Fire the Supreme Court? I don’t think so.

The average person from both parties would generally believe that there is corruption in Washington on both sides. I made a list of things that I think would help clean up in Washington quite a bit and I think regular people from both parties would like those changes. We need term limits. We need to curtail lobbyists. We need to take money out of politics. Every politician in Washington must be audited every single year. The Supreme Court must be a fair and balanced representation of America. It should never be stacked with one party or religion like it is now. Cons stole Obama’s pick blatantly by just refusing to do their job. That should never happen.

I think most Americans left or right would agree to these things. Imagine a united group of Dems and Cons a million+ strong all marching on Washington demanding these changes? That would get their attention. No violence, clean up the trash. Make your voice heard. There would be forces that try to shut it down including possibly the media. The media has been suffering because people like you guys get your news from social media now. The media can’t shut down all social media so they can’t shut down a movement. This is a movement I could get behind. It could even be a uniting force.

FBI Agent Says He Hassles People 'Every Day, All Day Long' Over Facebook Posts
"It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will," he claimed.

Three FBI agents came to Abdeljawad's house and said that they had been given "screenshots" of her posts by Facebook. Her lawyer Hassan Shibly posted a video of the incident online on Wednesday.

"Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account," one agent in a gray shirt said in the video.

"So we no longer live in a free country and we can't say what we want?" replied Abdeljawad.

"No, we totally do. That's why we're not here to arrest you or anything," a second agent in a red shirt added. "We do this every day, all day long. It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will."

I read this article and thought of it from both sides. She wants the freedom to post whatever she wants without the government intruding on her free speech. The FBI was given a screen shot by Meta of her posting something that disturbed them. They went to check on her and make sure she wasn’t a threat.

Many will argue that that is intrusive by the government. Others will say that because of 9/11 and all the tension in the world today that the FBI should be checking out people that make threats online. Some will argue, why is Meta sharing posts with the FBI? Did she make a threat online? We haven’t seen the post. She didn’t get to see the post that got their attention because she never let them in the door.

I myself am good with what the FBI did. Her post scared Facebook enough to alert the FBI. The FBI didn’t come to arrest her. They came to check her out, talk to her and let her know that she was now on their radar because of her threatening posts.

Trump is sharing posts of of Biden tied up in the back of a Maga PU truck. I wonder if he and his friends are on the FBI radar.
