Sturm and Drang posturing in the Congress without consequences. There is no DOJ that will lift a finger.

Selective justice is no justice at all.

DOJ under this administration is corrupt. I don't trust the current FBI investigation in Hunter Biden and the "big guy". It is to give them a free pass with a sham investigation. That way they can say the Bidens were exonerated.

Not just this administration, it's been corrupt for 30 years. Start with Ruby Ridge and Waco. It USED to be that the FIB would try to have a veneer of legitimacy, that ended in the last 5 years, FINALLY - which is a good thing. FIB has been totally corrupt probably for at least 50 years. They infiltrated anti-wars groups in the 1970s to frame them for crimes back then, or had informants commit crimes within the group to demonize the group.

Any political activity - either good or bad, is infiltrated by the FIB, and the FIB searches for STABILITY, not justice. Whatever criminal thing the government is engaged in, they protect it, they don't expose it.

Many of us are given the idea that the FIB were once the "good guys" in particular with school desegregation and civil rights. That's before my time, it's before we had concealable audio recordings, and before we had the ability to video tape. We have that now, that's how we know Ray Epps is an FBI informant whose job was to send innocent people to jail.

I'm certain (if they aren't already) they will begin deleting video recordings from phones, but cameras with no radio will continue to exist. We have all the James Bond shit today, a button that is part of your shirt (with some wires) can be a camera today. A pair of glasses can be. Now that technology is so goddamned cheap, and people are realizing that our intelligence agencies ARE enemies of justice and our Constitution, and know they get setup by them on the regular, there's going to be more and more revelations about just what sort of government we have.

We need facial recognition tech and access to the facial database. This would help expose the government of their crimes.

Don't think this is Rand's fault. Not much you can do with the compromised intelligence agencies and DOJ.

He could at least use the power of Senate pulpit to keep the story alive. You know, how they did it in the ancient times: "Carthāgō dēlenda est".

How?

RWSGFY says

Carthāgō dēlenda est

Ceterum (autem) censeo Carthaginem esse delendam ("Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed"), often abbreviated to Carthāgō dēlenda est ("Carthage must be destroyed"), is a Latin oratorical phrase pronounced by Cato the Censor, a politician of the Roman Republic. The phrase originates from debates held in the Roman Senate prior to the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) between Rome and Carthage. Cato is said to have used the phrase as the conclusion to all his speeches to push for the war.

Thanks, learned something there.

We had to read quite a few of his speeches in the original Latin for the Latin major

I've wanted to learn Latin for a long time. Planning to read my aunt's old textbook, "Latin for Today".

And don't fall for the "W" bullshit. It's a "V" sound. "W" was the faggy decadent Senate accent - "Damme" vs. "Damn!". Probably in imitation of Greek which only had the "U" sound. We know this since all the daughter languages have the "Vuh" not "Weh" sound. Vibrant Victoria, not woosy "Wik-toria". Church or Continental Pronunciation!

Sal vey, not Sal weh.

Since Gauls, Vandals, "Romanians", etc. all learned their Latin from Legionaries, Traders, etc. it's very likely that Real Romans used the "Vuh" sound.

Monty Python hinted at this with the "Woger, Woderick" in Life of Brian.
