Of course you do. I notice you, as an independent, are as critical with all the Democrats. Every Republican mentioned, they are evil, nasty, incompetent and stupid and I hope they are put in jail. Every Democrat mentioned you say nothing. Very independent.

If you make the news because you're a shitty individual I will be critical of you too, mister.

Yeah, you're not shy about criticizing shitty individuals, regardless of their political affiliations, genders, or anything else. That's consistently evident in your posts over the course of a decade here at Mock.
So, I don't doubt that you would indeed be critical of FryGuy if he made the news for being a shitty individual...........even though he contends that he is 'center left', that he is NOT a conservative, and that he is NOT on the right politically (although his 'center leftism' sure wouldn't be apparent by reading his posts, which are almost always disparaging of posters who deign to criticize the words/actions/policies/conduct of U.S. conservatives, Republicans, and most especially Donald Trump).
I've read hundreds of posts by you over the years criticizing shitty individuals who happened to be Democrats, liberals, Republicans, conservatives and everything in between. That's just reality.

Not since I have been posting.
Now it may entirely be right, that as Duchess has said she is only dogpiling Republicans and people associated with Trump because they are "in power" BUT I find it hard to shore up to the fact that Trump is hamstrung in his dealings by many individuals who hold an awful lot of power over him. As powerful as Trump is, he is unable to fire Mueller. So Mueller is more powerful than the President. But I really do not see Duchess holding Mueller's feet to the fire nor piling on him. In fact I see nothing but encouragement. There are plenty of people either in office or out that exert a LOT of influence and power against Trump and his administration and more so now with the House being controlled by the Democrats.
Plenty of people with similar amounts of control to Trump and certainly more than the multitudes of people she has criticised within that selective orbit.
I also appreciate she dislikes Trump. I get it.
But this doesn't account from the disparity. You can say that Duchess has been balanced over the years BUT I am saying right here and right now that balance doesn't exist and I am wondering why the disparity is so large.
I mean:
Cohen is a lying. extortionist, corrupt, fraudulent arsehole
Mannafort is a swamp creature that is common in these kind of lobbyist circles.
Jeff Flake is a petty little virtue signaler
Lisa Murkowski is owned by the Democrats and her votes reflect that. She may as well change her uniform.
Hillary is the epitome of corrupt
John Podesta and Tony Podesta are the same breed as Mannafort
Feinstein is corrupted and bought out by the Chinese
Biden is a pedophile and corrupt
Ortesio-Cortez is an idiot
Bernie Sanders is a bit of a crackpot.
Booker is an attention whore and drama queen
Schiff is a liar
Maxine Waters and Al Green are racists. Al thinks he is a preacher and Maxine doesn't know which direction up is.
Richard Blumethal is a proven liar
Pelosi is corrupt and doddery (bad combination)
Chuck Schumer is a loser.
I do not particularly like Sawell and Kamala Harris or agree with them but they have a bit of fight and seem to have a little more guts, smarts and integrity than the above.
Comey is the weasel and liar he projects away from himself
Stzrok and Page are clearly partisan and need to have their feet held to the fire as McCabe's have been
Rosenstein is a scumbag
Mueller is an arsehole and partisan.
Don't get me started with the media. Left and Right have their issues
There is plenty of bad on both sides and the Left is hardly disempowered. They tie Trumps hands a lot. His is hardly an unfettered authoritarian power.....yet.....I see little parity of critique

Some of the 15 ethics violation investigations into Zinke's time as head of the Interior are still open. I'm not sure if Democrats will bother with them when they take over the House though, since Zinke's out the door and they'll have so much on their plates.
President Trump reportedly wanted Zinke gone for quite a while and was pushing for him to leave on his own.
According to reports, Trump was pissed that Zinke publicly announced, without authorization, that Florida would be exempt from off-shore drilling. That rankled some other states and prompted them to request the same exemption.
Trump was also angry about Zinke's decision to allow imports of elephant trophies. Zinke reversed the decision on elephant trophies after Trump publicly intervened.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, whomever takes Zinke's place will not likely deviate from Trump's energy agenda, to which Zinke strictly adhered. But, the administration wants someone with fewer conflicts of interest and who will cause less controversy while overseeing the department.

I'm glad that the Clinton foundation will be investigated, the "pay for play" deals that went down is worth checking out. The corrupt Clintons will be catching the investigation cold that is everywhere.

The Clinton's have been investigated for years & years with tens of millions of dollars spent earnestly trying to find them guilty of something, anything and yet there's been nothing found. Meanwhile, in the year that Special Counsel Mueller has been investigating there have been indictments and guilty pleas, all of which you have been remarkably silent on so I know you'll forgive me now that I no longer take your claims seriously. You support a corrupt administration and find countless ways to defend their fuckery.

Well, if they've been found guilty of something nefarious it's news to me and God knows there are people around who would love to rub my nose in it.

Found nothing or found guilty? You are not changing the goalposts are you and no, that is far from the same thing.

When there was an investigation into Whitewater, what happened to Vince Foster? Who was responsible? What happened to the documents in his office? What were they needed for? Without them what could not be shown? For what could it not be shown? After the need for the documents expired, where did the documents appear? How did they appear? Who vouched that they had no idea how they got there?
What was Cattlegate? Was this return possible? Likely? Was it covering up bribery and corruption and was this easily provable?
What about THIS? http://articles.latimes.com/2001/feb/10/news/mn-23723

So...our government is facing a shut down on Friday if they can't get some shit accomplished before then. You know what the House GOP are doing? They are interviewing James Comey and Loretta Lynch about...guess, c'mon, guess...Secretary Clinton's emails.
...because, with everything that is going on they are the only thing that matters.

The committee is expected to question Comey about decisions made by the FBI in 2016, including the agency's investigations into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, and possible collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
A new judiciary committee inquiry is starting in the e-mail Clinton fiasco. It was bound to happen as the Russian collusion investigation reaches further as the great coup evolves.
The probe continues.....

Yup, they should be concentrating on attacking Trump some more, Lord knows he has not been badgered enough about it, how come nobody is looking into his whereabouts on Dec, 8th 1987 ?
