Rep. Goldman: The FBI Investigation of Tesla Attacks is “Political Weaponization”

For many of us who were long active in Democratic politics, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize the party as a new generation of foul-mouthed, censorship-supporting, mob-enabling leaders take over. That sense returned this week when Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) claimed that the FBI investigating attacks on Tesla cars and facilities is nothing but “lawfare” and “political weaponization.” Goldman’s latest controversy captures how Democrats have now entirely cut the cords of decency and moderation that once tethered their party to the mainstream of our society.

Democratic leaders have been fueling the attacks on Musk and his companies, even putting national security interests aside to seek to punish him.

Goldman (and other Democrats) have previously pushed back on criticism of Antifa and left-wing attacks. However, Goldman’s criticism of the FBI task force on these widespread attacks is otherworldly.

Goldman this week declared:

“This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to ‘crack down’ [sic] on adversaries of Musk’s [sic]. Where are the Republicans so opposed to ‘lawfare’?”

There are have widespread attacks on Tesla charging stations, vehicles, and dealerships, including multiple arson attacks. It is clearly political violence orchestrated against an American company and American property owners, including individual citizens, to push consumers away from buying Musk products and associations.

That sounds a lot like the definition of terrorism. The Justice Department defines domestic terrorism as “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

I have long criticized the expansion of terrorism definitions. However, this fits even the narrowest definitions. It is political violence designed to intimidate and harm those with opposing political views.

The fact that they are lone wolves like Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, who set himself on fire after throwing Molotov cocktails, does not change that criminal intent.

The Democrats have long been accused of belittling or dismissing the seriousness of such crimes. That was the case with Molotov-cocktail throwing lawyers in New York who were given relatively light sentences under the Biden Administration.

It is also evident in the reaction to the recent attack on a conservative in the New York subway. There is a sense of license among some on the left in carrying out attacks on those on the right.

This is how rage rhetoric of leaders like Goldman can fuel violent rage in the most unhinged elements of their party. As I previously wrote:

“What few today want to admit is that they like it. They like the freedom that it affords, the ability to hate and harass without a sense of responsibility. It is evident all around us as people engage in language and conduct that they repudiate in others. We have become a nation of rage addicts; flailing against anyone or anything that stands in opposition to our own truths.”

Once released by the rage from the confines of reason and civility, it is easy to dismiss the investigation of political violence as “political weaponization.” In attacking the FBI investigation, Goldman is the very voice of an age of rage.

Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University and the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”

  1. “It is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize the party as a new generation of foul-mouthed, censorship-supporting, mob-enabling leaders take over.”

    Well said Professor!

  2. The last cord of decency from a Democrat might have been found in Jimmy Carter. As for the majority of current dems of a younger age, they are the product of the cult of humanism/progressivism that has no “set in stone” moral tethers; but follows the wind as far as ethics/morals as their creed has always been – the end justifies the means. One can expect no moral compass from such an ideology.

    1. “Progressives” are not democrats. They’re a small group hooked onto democrats in a very successful attempt to glean Democrat votes. They could have become the Progressive party and should leaving actual democrats such as Turley to once again represent true democrats.

      Progressives are a tumor attached to the body democrats to get a blood supply all the while killing the body democrat.

      1. true, but I don’t see many of these so-called true democrats trying very hard to separate themselves from these fringe base morons. Where is the democrat to decry judges and elected officials stopping deportations of illegals, where is the true democrat denouncing transgender insanity? Where is the true democrat excoriated the biden crime family??? The true democrat will do anything to stay in power just like the rinos and fringe scum that soros helped position within our lower courts and elected governments. No – the only true democrat that I’ve noticed lately is Manchin and perhaps Fetterman and they are both viewed as pariahs at this point by the democrat party.

      2. Hear hear. It’s honestly sad that all it took to spread the banner of Republican/Conservative was to just be sane and open to others. Meanwhile, the parasites that are Progressives continue to push out anyone not them, and the Democrats and former Democrats are still too stupid to buckle down and either A) retake their party, or B) make their new near-center party and rally their former push-outs.

  3. While Goldman (and his fellow Democrats) may have “. . . entirely cut the cords of decency and moderation”, it is clear that Goldman has not cut the cord that still tethers him to stupid.

  4. I love headlines…

    “The White House says the Yemen security breach is a hoax. Here’s why it’s not”

    But of course it’s a hoax. trump never ever does anything wrong. Even if trump did what he once said he could do, kill a person on 5th avenue, and if the news reported the event. Of course it would be a hoax because it shows trump in a bad light.

    It is not possible in this universe for trump to do anything wrong. Everything he does is perfect, huge, the best ever, the greatest.
    So by definition, if there is bad news about trump, it is a hoax.

    1. I enjoy seeing sobbing losers who still offer this: BBBBBUUUUTTTT….. MUH TRUMP!!!!! BBBBBUUUUTTTT….. MUH TRUMP!!!!! BBBBBUUUUTTTT….. MUH TRUMP!!!!!

      1. Have pity on those poor TDS-suffering types, they really have no where else to go but down and dirty (which has always been their preferred style anyways). Let them use jasmine crocket and rose delauro as their poster children and aoc as their cheer leader…

    2. It is not possible for Trump to do anything wrong – because you have cried wolf so many times – no one is listening.

      BTW no matter what you wish to claim about the Yemen Chat – Trump was not in any way a part of it beyond directing that if Yemen continued to attack Shipping there would be consequences.

      No matter how you try to spin it – Trump did nothing wrong.

      The best you can get is that Waltsz should have been more careful.

      As to is this a Hoax ? In the sense that Goldberg was allowed access to communications with top NS officials – no.
      In the sense that the left is making lots of false claims – such as highly classified, war plans, Hegseth drunk. Worse than name your democrat classified document mess, Absolutely.

      Think of Trump’s use of Hoax in the same way that left wing nuts use misinformation.
      Possibly true but misleading or misrepresented.

      So yes, this was a hoax.

      1. How was this a hoax? The White House confirmed it after Hegseth claimed it was a hoax. It’s amusing that you put so much effort into denying what is already undeniable fact. It was a serious security breach and Republicans and Trump’s white house is trying desperately to pretend that it wasn’t. Eveyone knows it was a security breach and the more they deny it the worse they look.

        They discussed classified information believing that they were in a secure channel right in front of a reporter who as “sucked in” to the chat by some reason. Please. John you’re embarrasing yourself.

    3. The headline is a beautiful example of media bias.

      The story is dead. So now you are trying to revive it by reporting on Trump’s comments on the story.

      News is supposed to be as Officer Friday would say “Just the Facts maam”

  5. Trump, Bondi and Noem should be careful not to overplay their hand as far as use of CECOT imprisonment. U.S. citizens should not be considered — we have federal courts and prisons for those criminals. El Salvador should be reserved only for foreign terrorists who would remain a public safety danger to merely deport to their home country.

    Meanwhile, foreign gangs are slipping over into Canada. CECOT deterrence is working. How will the new P.M. respond? Will CBP help apprehend terrorists on their way to Canada?

    1. Oh, look, a political strategist. You’re advice is useless. Stick to graffetti.

      1. I think what the poster is suggesting is, when a new policy is working spectacularly, just be careful so that you can keep it working. More is not always better.

    2. Meanwhile, foreign gangs are slipping over into Canada. CECOT deterrence is working. How will the new P.M. respond? Will CBP help apprehend terrorists on their way to Canada?

      Just as many of our Illegal Aliens invaded Canada after Trump’s election in 2016 (with no complaints from US!). A rational person would assume that if we are going to hold Canada as being responsible for Illegal Aliens coming here from Canada, then we/Trump will willingly accept responsible for preventing our Illegal Aliens from illegally entering Canada to avoid deportation here.

      As for Canada’s new PM in four weeks… A few short weeks ago, the Conservative party leader, a man similar to Governor DeSantis in his conservative polices and dealings with the news media, and supportive of Trump’s policies, looked to be an easy win for Canada’s new PM this year. The governing minority Liberal/NDP coalition party government was in the basement with public support below 20%, on the verge of being wiped out in the election. They had no policies or issues to run on to counter their abject failure as a government and no replacement leader in sight that wasn’t toxic from their association with Trudeau.

      And then Trump decided his presidency needed to attack Canada as part of his critical agenda before the upcoming midterms. He told our Canadian allies who willingly fought our war beside us in Afghanistan, the Gulf War, etc that perhaps he would attempt to annex them. Oh, and the tariffs of course.

      One way to unite a politically divided nation is to attack it. Trump succeeded in doing that.

      At least, to the point that Trump as a threat to Canada has allowed the Liberal party to rise from the ashes, now polling at nearly 50%, and the Conservative leader who was above 50% is now down at around 35%, while his previous support for Trump is now used by Liberals to claim he would be a pushover for Trump.

      If the Liberals do a Trump style political comeback to govern Canada for another six years as a majority government rather than the current weak minority coalition government, here’s the question:

      Will Trump get more willing cooperation from Canada from the globalist “progressive” bankster, Mark Carney, than he would have from what was once an easy victory for a conservative leader of the Conservative party?

      If changing the course of Canada’s upcoming election in mere days from an easy Conservative win to a potential new and more powerful Lenin Liberal government is what winning 4D underwater chess looks like… I don’t see how that works.

      1. Not a one of those criminal illegal aliens are “under the jurisdiction of the United States” and are not our problem except to expel them. If they choose to run to Canada, that is Canada’s problem (of course Canada could impose a tariff on the exportation of illegal thugs into Canada…

        1. Not a one of those criminal illegal aliens are “under the jurisdiction of the United States” and are not our problem except to expel them.

          So: Canada is accountable for people illegally entering our country from Canada. BUT… we are not accountable for people “under the jurisdiction of the United States” illegally entering Canada from our country! Got it!

          That looks like underwater 4D chess gamesmanship copied from the Democrat Double Standards Different strategy.

          Given that Democrat Double Standards Different being adopted to play underwater 4D chess is working to change what looked to be an easy majority win for a Canadian conservative leader even more fiscally and government conservative than Trump, a leader that supported Trump political policies, has resulted in the Lenin Liberals having risen from the ashes and leading in the polls…

          I don’t think winning a Canada being run by a bankster globalist Marxist like Mark Carney from the IMF, instead of by a conservative who formerly supported Trump policies, aligns with my idea of winning.

        2. What the actual **** are you talking about? Of course all criminal illegal aliens are under the jurisdiction of the United States. If they weren’t we couldn’t arrest them! People who are not under our jurisdiction are free to commit as many crimes as they like and there is nothing we can do about it except order them to leave. They can shoot someone in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue and the police can’t do anything to them. That’s what “not under the jurisdiction” means. Foreign gang members are certainly NOT that.

      2. It is not for the US to try to influence Canada’s elections. We should not be gaming our policies to elect our prefered candidates in Canada.

        Though that is exacly what USAID was doing.

        It is odd that those on the left Ranted about Russian election interference and have no problems with the US gaming every election in the world.

        Regardless, Canada can pick its next PM. If it is stupid enough to pick a Trudeau clone or worse – just as the US stupidly picked Biden.
        Soon enough more left wing failure will bring canadians back to there senses.

        Rather than game our polices to elect our prefered candidates we should Trust that in Canada and elsewhere – free peopel will eventullay get it right – even if they make many mistakes along the way.

        1. It is not for the US to try to influence Canada’s elections. We should not be gaming our policies to elect our preferred candidates in Canada.

          Why the he77 not? Of COURSE we should be doing that.

          Though that is exacly what USAID was doing.

          If that were what USAID was really doing, and it was doing it in the USA’s interests, then USAID would be wonderful and we would be crazy to end it. That is exactly what Congress established USAID for, and in its early days it did its job faithfully. The problem is that it stopped doing its job, and started working against US interests rather than for them.

      3. Some Tda members may flee the US to Canada. But the real threat to Canada is Cartels deliberately sending soldiers to Canada to replicate the drug manufacturing and distribution into the US they have in Mexico as transport from Mexico to the US becomes more difficult.
        The border between the US and canada can not be secured . What Trump is pushing Canada to do it Secure its ports of entry.
        Canada has no land border with any country but the US. If the US securs its southern board and Both contries secure their ports of entry.
        Drug gangs, are greatly diminished.

        Mexico could do the same, but it is too close to being a narco state to do so.

        it is unlikely to happen quickly, But if Canada is not proactive it could easily end up with Mexico’s problems.

    3. Boasberg has no jurisdiction over the deportation and imprisonment of illegal aliens.

      US courts have absolute jurisdiction over the deportation and or imprisonment of US Citizens.

      There is Zero chance this will be used against US citizens.

      Whether Tda is moving from the US to Canada or not – as the southern border is closed to Drugs, Canada should expect more violent drug gangs, and more drugs to move into Canada.

      Trump’s efforts to get Canada to take contorl of its Ports of entry and address Drugs was a polite warning of what was certain to come as Trump locked down the southern border.

      Canada’s border with the US is porus. Drug Cartels make billions selling drugs in the US.
      If they can not get in From Mexico they WILL find another way in.

      There are many ways for Cartels to get their soldiers into Canada even if it is harder than getting them into the US under Biden.
      Once it has people there it can setup the same operations it has in MExico – bringing Fentanyl precursors in from China, Manufacturing Fentanyl in Canada and transporting it into the US.

      Canada is woefully unprepared for what will come as the US southern border is sealed.

      The cartels are NOT giving up billions in revnue.

      1. “Boasberg has no jurisdiction over the deportation and imprisonment of illegal aliens.”

        According the appeals court he does have jurisdictionl. Especially when due process rights are being violated and the legality of using the AEA is in doubt. The AEA does not prohibit judicial review when there is a question of government claiming illegal aliens are who it says they are.

      2. “Boasberg has no jurisdiction over the deportation and imprisonment of illegal aliens.”

        The appeals court begs to differ. They have ruled to uphold judge Boesberg’s TRO.

  6. Goldman may be elected, but he is not a leader. He’s a spokesperson.

    1. Leader? That’s not what is intended. So what, look at the attention he’s getting – as spokesperson.

  7. JT, You have got to be kidding me…

    “Goldman’s latest controversy captures how Democrats have now entirely cut the cords of decency and moderation that once tethered their party to the mainstream of our society.”

    truimps response to his top national security team breaking the law and spreading secret intelligence with an outsider on a commercial app that Russia and China were most certainly listening in on was to attach the reporter that was included on the chat.

    What have we heard from JT about the fiasco that is the trump administration? Nothing
    What have we hard from former repoublicans that are now part of the trump cult? Nothing.

    Yea, Demos cut the cord of decency.
    So sad you have fallen so far so fast JT. Sad

    The response to your low IQ followers is predictable, But you JT, you used to have some semblance of respect. No more. Bye.

    1. It doesn’t exonerate Democrat mistakes to point out Repub mistakes. I think most NRO readers would agree that the Signal channel was not a secure means of military communication. CIA Director Ratcliff testified that Signal was installed on his computer during CIA orientation, and that the Biden-era CIA had been using it for some comms.

      The problem stems from vague, ambiguous user names such as “JG” being added to the Signal group. That makes it very easy for a spy to have his phone added — what better espionage technique could you imagine? Also, personal cell phone devices are not secure, especially when travelling abroad in Russia. The uber-defensive stance taken by Pete Hegseth where he discredited Jeff Goldstein as an untrustworthy news source caused the fubar to escalate in the media. Very unprofessional for a seasoned media guy like Pete.

      1. The problem stems from vague, ambiguous user names such as “JG” being added to the Signal group. That makes it very easy for a spy to have his phone added — what better espionage technique could you imagine?

        Wrong! The individuals who had Signal installed on their devices by the same cybersecurity techs that did it for the Biden administration don’t have a choice of “JG” users in the world they must select from. They add people they select from THEIR contacts, and then assign them whatever nickname for display purposes they wish, whether it’s “JG” or “Jeff” or “Dickhead”. When I add my brothers to my signal account, Signal adds them using their full name as it appears in my cellphone’s phone contact list. Then I edit that to be a shorter display name that doesn’t take up as much space on a line of text – two or three letters instead of 12.

        So if there’s a spy in the wings getting added from the contents on their government phones – then the spy is already inside the administration. Eliminating Signal for use wouldn’t eliminate the spy still inside the administration.

        There is one question: did any assistants to those involved in this kerfuffle add the participants to set up this conference, using THEIR contacts list, that included Goldberg? And who within the upper levels of Trump’s administration has the initials “JG” that would be relevant to this conference?

        The uber-defensive stance taken by Pete Hegseth where he discredited Jeff Goldstein as an untrustworthy news source caused the fubar to escalate in the media.

        Wrong again. It’s uber-laughable that you attempt to sell Jeff Goldstein and his history of frauds perpetrated against Trump as being a trustworthy news source. And that this kerfuffle is just the media doing a professional job

        Unless you know as little about Goldstein and his history as you know little about how Signal works. Oh, and the media like The Atlantic.

    2. BabyTrump put it’s IQ on display: on a commercial app that Russia and China were most certainly listening in onBIDEN is the president who a few years ago decided Signal should be used by cabinet officials. And the same government crypto technicians who installed it on The Oval Office House Plant, The DEI Hire, etc devices are the same ones who installed it on the devices of the incoming Trump administration. You have a problem with Biden doing that when you know his ChiCom customers were listening in?

      BabyTrump can’t come up with anything better than BBBUUUTTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!!!!

      Biden-era memo advises ‘highly targeted’ officials to use Signal for communications
      https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/biden-era-memo-advises-highly-targeted-officials-use-signal

      A Biden-era memo reveals that the federal office responsible for overseeing cybersecurity across all levels of government recommended using the encrypted messaging app Signal as a “best practice” for “highly targeted” government officials in the wake of Chinese hacks of U.S. telecommunications infrastructure.

      The December 2024 “Mobile Communications Best Practice Guidance” from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released in the waning days of the Biden administration strongly urged “highly targeted individuals” to adopt apps with end-to-end encryption, “such as Signal or similar apps” to prevent exploitation by China or other actors.

    3. You could not be more wrong about the good professor. He has not fallen. It is the Democrat party that has fallen. The good professor is just pointing that out. Professor Turley has a highly successful book. He has won awards. He is invited to speak at important events to include the recent one in Germany. He has testified on Capitol Hill many times. He writes columns for The Hill, USA Today, NYP, Fox news and others. His blog is viewed by people from all over the world.

  8. OT; appeals court reafirms judge Boesberg’s TRO. Looks like the Supreme court will weigh in on this soon. Trump keeps losing rulings. That’s not good. I wonder what new scandal we’ll see next week.

    By the way…where are the lower prices? I thought Trump was going to lower prices on day one?

    1. SC soon. You fool. Think you’re the smartest in the room eh? Well, look at the room, see any Brainiac’s? Just clueless bigmouths. Like you.

      1. Did you just describe yourself? Wow. I agree, you’re a clueless bigmouth.

        1. Wow! The old “I’m rubber and you’re glue” argument. So clever!

    2. Do you ever stop to think that maybe the admin WANTS these rulings to go up to the SC, to prove at the highest court whether or not the Executive Branch can actually funciton?
      I don’t remember anything Biden doing, even the same things Trump has been doing, garnering anywhere near as much ire and judicial buffoonery

    3. George Svelaz is WRONG!

      Under Trump there is a reduction in price increases (food inflation) and we can see a price decrease in eggs, milk, and meat.

        1. The rate of food inflation, rising food prices, is reduced. That is the same as prices falling except Biden was so bad one first has to deal in stopping the rise in prices before food prices can come down. There is already a price decrease in eggs, milk and meat.

      1. S. Meyer,
        Prices of eggs has been going down for the past four weeks.
        The price of gas went down by nine cents from last week. So, yes, those prices are coming down.

  9. “Own Goal” Goldman is a textbook example of useful idiot. Democrats have a deep bench of his type and a corporate propaganda machine to give them broad exposure. Is there anyone in the Democratic party, other than a stroke victim, capable of speaking in support of policies that an overwhelming majority of our citizens support?

  10. “That sounds a lot like the definition of terrorism. The Justice Department defines domestic terrorism as “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

    Or….it’s just your run-of-the-mill vandalism.

    Vandalism: action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.

    It seems like Turley is intentionally emphasizing anger to support the notion that this situation is, and I can’t help but chuckle, considered terrorism.

    Democrats are not encouraging this. Elon is. Elon has made Tesla the de facto punch-in-the-face Barney the Dinasour of the automotive world because of his involvement with the company and his reckless incomptent (that seems to be a growing theme with anything Trump) destruction of government agencies. Oh, and he’s a non-elected government “advisor” who has “no authority” to do what he’s been doing. He’s not the head of DOGE, or is he? We can never tell.

    It’s becoming such a joke that Turley’s writing is focusing on things other than the more important ones like Trump attacking free speech and members of his cabinet being monumentally incompetent.

    Democrats do not support the vandalism that Tesla is facing. However, there’s not much sympathy for the company at this time because of Elon Musk. It’s completely wrong for anyone to set cars or charging stations on fire, and they should face legal consequences for their actions. That being said, Tesla is becoming less popular and desirable, largely because of Elon Musk. It’s just a natural free market reaction.

    “For many of us who were long active in Democratic politics, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize the party as a new generation of foul-mouthed, censorship-supporting, mob-enabling leaders take over.”

    It shouldn’t be difficult to recognize. MAGA has been that way for a long time; this blog has plenty of examples.
    As I predicted, Turley is struggling to steer clear of the growing threats to free speech coming from the Trump administration, as well as the ongoing legal issues with judges. He often shares sensational stories that seem designed to stoke anger among his supporters. Although Turley complains about the harmful effects of “rage rhetoric” and its pull on people, his actions just seem to reinforce the very thing he criticizes—almost creating a cycle that proves his own argument.

    1. You can tell that George is not a lawyer. When elements of vandalism are combined with political targeting, it becomes political violence. When bullets are fired into dealerships, it becomes political violence.

      1. But how do you prove it’s political targeting? Just saying so doesn’t make it so. Right?

        “When bullets are fired into dealerships, it becomes political violence.”

        No, it just becomes an illegal discharge of a firearm and possibly reckless endagnerment with a deadly weapon.

        How do you prove that the targeting is political?

    2. You are wrong again George.

      Vandalism is localized and not organized. Regarding Tesla, we are seeing organized domestic terrorism across multiple states.

      1. S. Meyer,

        Vandalism: action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.

        Where does it say it has to be localized and organized? You have proof that it’s centrally organized? They could also be random acts of vandalism. Random angry people lashing out at Tesla isn’t terrorism.

        1. What is your proof that it is individual random people lashing out? You keep making things up. Presently one cannot put the links together with a name, but terrorists don’t generally advertise. Initially you felt the same about black lives matter. However when it came to J6 suddenly it was group action when it wasn’t. In that case multiple individual groups acted and had plans to protest well before J6.

          You are WRONG virtually every time you open your mouth.

        2. Over the next few days you’re going to see an organized progressional protest effort at Tesla stores put together by a group called Indivisible.

          George Soros foundation has given Indivisible nearly $8 million dollars for their “activism”.

  11. So, making threats is a Goldman, Dem thing? Look what this one just did. If I had the power I would drag you in front of a judge and persecut you for terrorist threats.

  12. Following the Marxism playbook. They haven’t figured out yet that actual Americans Despise Marxism!

    1. Marxist playbook? No such thing. As for despise Marxism, you show that you know nothing about what American think. You’re just a lame follower of the crazy crowd.

      1. So you’re just being contrarian on purpose. Only way to explain your instant replies on every comment here.

        1. Purposeful contrarian? A crime? Scattershot commenting – try it.
          If you think you’re dealing with intellectuals here, I ask you to look around.

      2. Well to be fair America did reject communism even at its peak of worldwide popularity. To the Left that is America’s unforgivable sin. (I know this because in college and grad school I used to hang with leftists.)

        1. Look some guy just traveled top 2025 in his 50’s time machine. Go back.

        2. Kansas, your age is such that when you hung around with leftists, the Vietnam War was near its peak. In that case, it wasn’t right or left but pro or anti-war. I was against the war from the start, which placed me in a close position to the left. As the war progressed, more people supported the end of the war, which would have moved me rightward.

  13. Dear Mr. Turley, it is the Democrats who see everything through a political lens. A great example of this was during President Trump’s speech to Congress a couple of weeks ago. Not one stood to cheer for a boy who is battling brain cancer. They have become such a sad, vindictive group. The one bright spot is Sen. John Fetterman.

    1. “Democrats who see everything through a political lens.”
      Oh, cut it out. Reps are just as crazy – you for instance, denying reality.

      1. And yet, you do nothing to alleviate your burden of proof of such statements

  14. Dan Goldman is a Left Wing Radical DEM who is far out there with his thoughts, comments and actions. He is a tupical DEM who supported everything Biden did. He is way out there on the Left. Also, he comes up with the weirdest ideas and comments. He is simply a Clown. Meanwhile he supported the Biden/DOJ/FBI crackdowns on Americans protesting the radical DEM policies.

    1. Your comment falls into the category of “weirdest ideas”. That you believe that Reps are angels is laughable.

      1. Just because we call out Dems for being blithering idiots does not conclude that we see our side as saints. You people are the only ones that see in black and white. How was Trump treated before 2015? Musk before 2017? RFK Jr, Gabbard, every video on TikTok, youtube, and ilk showing people’s vilification for not having toed the party line on one insignificant issue?
        You all turn on anyone who does not think exactly like you. Everyone else understands people are different, has different views and needs, and we all work to get along regardless.

  15. I quote I’m hearing, professor. You are on your way to Full realization of who these monsters are. The left is not just the political party anymore, it is a fascistic movement.

  16. Dan Goldman is just another (D-NY) idiot. The only D-NY politician not an idiot is Letitia James, who is just plain mean. Sad to say that Texas is making a run for the idiocy supremacy, with Jasmine Crockett.

  17. Democrats are naturally Criminals
    Time to jail them by the 10,000’s

      1. Bored are you? Or perhaps just mean-spirited, with nothing to add to the conversation.

    1. The only “immunity” a MOC enjoys is via any words spoken by them on the house or senate floor. Outside of that arena, they are governed by the same laws as you and I.

      Prosecuted for those words is another matter entirely. But at least in theory, they are not immune.

      1. The only “immunity” a MOC enjoys is via any words spoken by them on the house or senate floor.

        That is not true. The courts have held that their immunity extends to anything said in the course of their role as legislators, whether on the floor, in committee, on television, or anywhere else. And it also extends to their staff.
