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

      “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

      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.

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

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

      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.

      Did they tell this guy trump incited a crowd to go to the Capital to stop the constitutionally mandated counting of the electoral votes? Is that what he calls weaponization of the justice dept? Maybe Joe should do the same then back up a semi and take every dime created under his watch because those are legal now according to republicans.

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

    13. ihatethistimeline24 on

      We shouldn’t care either. Let’s just go into the capitol and start working whatever job we want. 

      If we all do it, who’s going to stop us? 

      Remember strength in numbers

      I’m not shocked at all when half of the country eligible voters don’t vote.

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

    16. lyn73 on

      They really had to ask to get that answer?!???! They haven’t been paying attention….

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

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

    19. kck93 on

      I saw this. That guy is a loony old sot following the rhetoric of the moment to his brainless destiny.

      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.

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

      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.

      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.

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

    28. Delicious_Fault4521 on

      From Biden. Not trump. He did not pass any of those bills.

    29. CryptographerFirm728 on

      Well fuck, all this time I thought I cared? Shit, all that worry and tears for nothing. Son of a bitch!

      Yes, I am coming unhinged.

    30. JustKayedin on

      I actually remember that they ran checks last time and then ignored them. So not ever bothering this time and it seems to be working.

    31. ChickpeaDemon on

      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.

    34. trebordet on

      People do care, and also know that few of them could pass background checks.

    35. User4C4C4C on

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

    36. stoptheinsanity007 on

      Misleading headline. He says they need to do background checks but they should be done expeditiously

    37. aeolus811tw on

      how is this still a shock to anyone, gop has give up on lawfulness long ago.

      they have consistently being the one abusing power whenever they can.
