The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hoover is widely seen today as an autocrat who used secret surveillance and other illegal means to control politicians and infiltrate and disrupt domestic political groups in the service of his conservative worldview

He was a staunch anti-communist, which of course would put him miles out of step with the democrats of today - who are more likely to embrace socialistic principles than their party forebears ever were.

Nice try, but during his reign at the FBI only 2 Presidents didn't want anything to do with him: Eisenhower and Truman. The rest made use of his information.

Well, you can compare convictions from 1968 on of Administrations and see what you get.

Again, you're making my point. democrats are never arrested or tried, much less convicted, for any crimes committed while in office. Republicans are, as this thread makes clear.

Let's test you. When is Eric Holder's contempt of Congress arraignment? How about Lois Lerner's?
