I swear lying comes so natual to these people I'm guessing it is actually difficult for them to tell the truth.

 

Ever.

No matter what letter comes after your name, this type of shit infuriates me:

 

“We were directed at the time . . . to delay the report of the investigation until after the 2012 election,” David Nieland, the lead investigator on the Colombia case for the DHS inspector general’s office, told Senate staffers, according to three people with knowledge of his statement.

So true, I just don't get it.  What would have been the big deal anyway?  Some SS guys were gettng their rocks off?  It seems like the feds' first reaction to anything is to cover it up, whether it needs to be or not.

transparency!

Government does something wrong and they cover it up.  Meanwhile they continue to take away civil liberties and there's also that whole civil forfeiture thing:

When they screw up it's hush hush yet they continue to screw over citizens.  Sad.

This is just the way they operate now.  They lie, even knowing the truth will come out at some point but at that point nobody will care about that incident anymore. 

 

Strange life they live.

It should be criminal.  This happens so much.  Us Americans really get ****ed because everything is done around elections.

i feel like a part of my soul has died because, like everyone else, i know that my elected leaders lie to me constantly and worse yet, think nothing of it.

 

how in the world did we get to this point?

[TobiasFunke]

Pretty sure politicians lying has happened before we were even a nation

[TobiasFunke]

Heck, most of the founders were lawyers. Go figure...

Once we get those Republicans out of the White House, everything will be fine.
