Lol, zero proof Biden and KAmana said anything that bad, and if they said it behind locked doors where nooby heard it , then who cares -
Trump spouts violent rhetoric out to millions. That is the problem -if he said it behind closed doors it would not impact -I predict we will have an attack from an enemy state or from terrorists on US soil at some point during his term because of his belligerent rhetoric and chest-thumping about seizing Panama canal and wanting Greenland - and he just got into office.

It was not Biden's to use; the DOJ is an independent agency. The RW narrative invents that -

Like a former VP and Senator having classified docs at various locations, then not charging him because he was mentally incompetent and President at the same time. Did the Biden DOJ follow the law when the tried to give Hunter a sweetheart deal on all of his federal charges only to be stopped by a judge doing her job.
Did they follow the law by having Fannie Willis and her boyfriend prosecutor visit the White House to coordinate going after Trump in GA?
Fraud? Like being accused of over valuing property when applying for loans? I have thousands of homeowners to turn in then. And yes Mar A Lago is only worth 18 million.
The majority of America has seen the truth. Cant wait for this younger cabinet to get to work.....was awkward watching the 70 + year old Democrat Senators interviewing Bondi, Rubio, and company (Elise Slotkin excluded, smart girl)

Of course it did. FBI knew the Steele dossier was a hoax but followed up on it by lying to the FISA courts.“Inspector General Horowitz’s team found this briefing document. Inspector General Horowitz and his team deserve great credit for uncovering systematic fraud at Department of Justice surrounding the Carter Page FISA warrant.
The FBI told Congress that the Primary Sub-source “maintains trusted relationships with individuals who are capable of reporting on the material he collected for Steele.”- However, the FBI interviews with the Primary Sub-source revealed that there were many degrees of separation between the Primary Sub-source’s contacts and the persons quoted in the reporting and that it could have been multiple layers of hearsay upon hearsay.
- For example, the Primary Sub-source stated to the FBI his contacts did not have direct access to the persons they were reporting on. Instead, the Primary Sub-source told the FBI that the information was “from someone else who may have had access.”
A cursory examination of the Steele Dossier should have convinced the CIA or the FBI that it was fake news. Any residual doubt would have vanished after learning that its author, Christopher Steele, was an opposition researcher paid by the Democrats to dig up dirt on Trump. That our most sophisticated government officials acted as if the Dossier were legitimate leads to only one conclusion. They were a knowing and willing part of the Democratic and media smear of a presidential contender, and then president, that paralyzed U.S. politics for three years.
We now know that the Steele Dossier is bogus. Inspector General Michael Horowitz drove the final stake through its heart. He found that the Dossier was compiled from hearsay and third-hand gossip from two low-level sources and that they denied the testimony attributed to them. The only “verified” information that Horowitz found was available from public sources.
The FBI has zero basis to obtain a search warrant from the FISA courts.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) recently disclosed an opinion revealing that the FBI has repeatedly misused Section 702 of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to gather information in domestic investigations. Section 702 (sometimes referred to as the “PRISM” program) authorizes certain programs of surveillance of private communications for foreign intelligence purposes, without prior court approval, where the surveillance targets non-US persons located abroad. The law has been widely criticized, in part, because of the “backdoor search” loophole that allows domestic law enforcement officials to access Americans’ communications without a warrant. The surveillance court previously found that the FBI’s procedures for obtaining information through backdoor searches violated the Fourth Amendment.

Ypu are babbling word salad and shirking blame in what about ism - never addressing what Trump did or said - the usual, no point in me wasting time on the RW hamster wheel of it

Kamala resembles that remark.

Charlie Munger Said He And Warren Buffett Skip Insurance And All Rich Should Too – 'I Can So Easily Rebuild A House That Would Burn Down'
He quipped, "It's ridiculous to carry fire insurance on my houses because I can so easily rebuild a house that would burn down. So why would I want to bother fooling around with the claims process?"
For Munger, insurance made sense only for risks you couldn't afford to cover yourself. "You should insure against things you can't afford to pay for yourself. But if you can afford to take the bumps, why would you want to fool around with some insurance company if your house burned down? I would just write a check and rebuild it," he added, emphasizing the inefficiencies, waste and fraud that can come with traditional coverage.
Munger explained, "Once I got rich, I stopped carrying fire insurance on houses. I just self-insured. And that's the right way to do it." When interviewer Quick pointed out that this perspective was surprising given Berkshire Hathaway's vast portfolio of insurance companies, Munger didn't hesitate. "I'd rather tell it the way it is than tell it in a way that helps Berkshire," he replied, staying true to his trademark candor.
