It's progress but we have to assume the most incriminating things will have been destroyed.   On the other hand Trump is not very bright and I'm sure missed a few tidbits.   Interesting times when libs are rooting for the FBI.  

“What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democratic National Committee?  Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.”   -- Donald J. Trump

You got that right, Bubba !!

^ And Watergate were a gang of suit-wearing ex-CIA/FBI thugs looking to smear, blackmail, or possibly even kidnap political opponents.  This is duly sworn Federal agents doing a job.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's going to be too busy dealing with lawyers and going to court to run for president. We'll see.

Let's hope this amounts to something. He seems to weasel his way out of everything else. Maybe this will be different. 

 
BTW, Remember all the Republicans whining Hilary's e-mail server? I wonder what they are going to say about this? Nothing I suspect.

They are outraged, of course, by this highly unusual raid, which they have criticized as politicized act that must be looked in to. The outraged Republicans will look into this to see what the DOJ and FBI have done wrong. Bring in Garland to be questioned. They do not care whether it was justified or not. They just want to appear outraged enough for Trump and his supporters.

I hope they had to confiscate all his red ties. I'm so tired of this divisive red and blue 5hit. With the current collapse of our health care system well under way, I'm just hoping for a quick euthanasia of our species.

I wonder if Trump runs as a result of this, or in spite of this... I wonder what happens in the mid-terms, and who runs in 2024, which seems uncertain. I'm happy as long as the truth comes out, but all the celebration is adding gasoline to the fire. I know the DOJ is supposed to be apolitical, but they say the same thing about the Supreme Court.... Overturning of Roe was supposed to get Democrats out, and now this event will get Republicans out, and this seems to be the strategy -- little on policy, and more about the existential danger of the other side. It's very, very likely the Republicans take back at least the House, and possibly the Senate. Don't you think they're going to do the impeachment thing (no conviction), Hunter, etc etc? This is becoming The National Enquirer, but this isn't a joke. People are dying -- war, homicides, suicides -- more American soldiers die from suicide than in combat. I read a lot of disheartening stories of "deaths of despair" for people under 50... And to hear adults I've known for years online (but in real life, too) who celebrate our own country's downfalls, because it might help "their" side, as if viruses, poverty, etc., only effects one side. And people complain that it's the other side's fault for everything.

This can't go on... It's more than just tit-for-tat, because I see the hatred people have, and the amount of people who will go above and beyond a simple protest. Add that with inflation and violence, people on edge, being shot in schools (obviously not now in summer).

Maybe we don't have much power, but try to put yourself in other people's shoes... just for a second. Try to get along with people.. In the last few weeks, there's been "race issues" on my street (between the neighbors across the street vs. the neighbors next door), police have been here at least four times, including today. Multiple gun shots on two occasions. No deaths, fortunately. Lots of flags and signs on many lawns (not mine), and all I can do right now (after a long pause) is shake my head. I actually posted that story on other message boards - handfuls of them - and it's sad to see other people say the same stories, or how someone they knew was shot and killed.



Gallup. On December 17, 2020, Gallup polling found that 41% as Independent, 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 25% identified as Republican. A majority of both parties (61-64%) want a third party, and they also don't want Biden/Trump.

Divide and conquer seems to be the prevailing model. Trump is an, in your face agitator.  He picked, exposed, and made worse the scabs that were already there. Biden is a stab you in the back despot.  With the right combination of fear and desperation you can make people do just about anything.

A great leader unites, a damaging one divides.  A Trump / Biden ticket would be devastating.  

People need to come together and treat each other with respect. Conflicts should be resolved through dialogue.  Freedoms are of utmost importance and ought to be upheld.

Washington Post reports that the FBI was searching for classified nuclear weapon documents.  Sounds like the kind of thing that Trump might get $2 billion from the Saudis for?

Probably not.  He is the Teflon Don.  It is ironic though, that he signed a law to make it a felony for a government employee to take secure documents outside of government offices.  His goal was to lock Hillary up, but it would be ironic if he were to be the one to be locked up under this rule.

He's going to jail.   Okay he might not actually go to jail but he will have to pay one way or another.  Remember almost every key player in Watergate went to prison, and this is far worse.

We certainly have all the nuclear tools to make it quick and dirty. Confused the MO has been around since Hiroshima but the finger has yet to press the trigger. Time for direct democracy , like Athens, and Switzerland, where the people vote and NOT the 'elected' representatives, who lets face it , are not our best and brightest....
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
