Mostly true: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Pickard

It's still absolutely disgusting though how Republicans get to get away with making it more politicized by claiming they're biased against Republicans....

In office

June 25, 2001 – September 4, 2001

Not exactly a long stretch...

But yeah, as big as the defense of Biden's cognitive decline in 2020 was with "it's about the people he appoints" it should be noted Biden was fine with Trump's FBI director....

And as much as Biden tries to pay lip service to civil rights, he was still fine with this:

On June 4, 2020, Wray stated that "anarchists" like antifa are "exploiting" George Floyd protests "to pursue violent, extremist agendas".[38][39] Wray later clarified that antifa is an ideology rather than a specific organization, clashing with Trump.[40]

I saw something the other day where Kamala doubled down and was saying how great it was they raised 1.5 billion for the election, even tho it still wasn't enough to beat trump.

That money is the problem not the solution, those bribes aren't for nothing, it's given to the furthest right Dems to help Republicans in the general.

The wealthy bought both parties, it's insane to let them dictate the policy of both of the only two options.
