    Of course, if they can't take Trump down this way, I guess the next step is assassination.

    I’d much rather he die in prison.

          We should all be so lucky to have our hearts and public noises unambiguously left aligned, while relying, in our heads, on most of the conservative policies supported by the politicians we despise. So fortunate to be in such a no lose space.

            A weird thing happens to musca domestica larvae, they assume that being anti-Trump makes someone unambiguously lefty. Despite my many thousands of posts to the contrary.

              Is this where you attempt to gaslight people into believing you’re a confirmed centrist on national politics? While obviously being terrified of being associated with the right?

                How could I ever get away with that after so many years of carrying water for AOC and Bernie Sanders?

                You think I’d risk getting kicked out of the local BLM chapter just to impress you?

                  Your emotes are homogenous in their valence. (That sentence was for you 89th).

                  And you know emotes are how to establish social credibility.

                    Revenge? Nah, I'd like to see a reckoning.

                    Some people are quite comfortable with a biased justice system, where some are favored and some are persecuted based on political affiliation. I am not.

                    Some people are comfortable with questionable elections, as long as their candidate wins or their hated candidate loses. I am not.

                    Some people are comfortable looking down their nose at normal Americans, who long to see their country returned to Reagan's vision of a shining city on a hill. I am not.

                    Some people are quite happy with bloated bills that preserve Wall Street tax breaks, while simultaneously unleashing a new ravaging horde of tax collectors on the poor and middle class. I am not.

                    Some people will support the election of a dementia patient to the most powerful position on the planet, if it slakes their thirst for political blood. I do not.

                    And if it takes introducing a catalyst in the soup of the Washington Swamp, to shake the foundations of the current banana republic, to try to corral inflation, secure the border, kill CRT in the schools and let the military get back to its job, rather than sensitivity training...Why, yes. I'm for that.

                      If true, why were Trump's attorneys not permitted to watch the raid search? Why were they locked out of the building?

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            Heard today that they are trying to reclassify the raid as an agricultural event.

                              Speaking of how, in the end, peoples' fundaments govern how they vote, which you weren't but I am, I just redd this from Mike Manson, which probably answers that as well as anything:

                              "You see, our rational brains are absolutely terrible when our emotional brains are firing on all cylinders. From an evolutionary standpoint, the emotional brain is too old and too important for our survival that our rational brains sometimes can’t even get their shoes on before our emotions have burned the damn house down."

                                      Well circa 100% of the political messaging we’re exposed to is designed to maximize our emotional response. So I guess this figures. The anti Trump messaging is entirely about maximizing the fear and disgust reactions. This works well.

                                        While in office, Trump signed into law some provisions that stiffen the penalties for mishandling classified information.

                                          From Yahoo: https://news.yahoo.com/understanding-the-fb-is-raid-on-trumps-mar-a-lago-home-003031665.html

                                          "Tracy Walder, a former FBI special agent and CIA operative, laughed when asked whether obtaining a search warrant in an investigation into an ordinary American was as simple as just dialing up a judge to railroad a personal enemy.

                                          "Walder noted that the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago was executed by the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section of the Department of Justice. “I was on that squad at the FBI,” Walder said. “I will never forget when I had to go and get a search warrant. My supervisor told me, ‘If you don't get it, don’t bother coming back to the office. Turn in your badge, you're done.’ You need an overabundance of information to obtain one to a point that — I'll be frank — is annoying. I could have a guy on the phone admitting to a crime, and that wouldn’t necessarily be sufficient.”

                                          "In Trump’s case, Walder said, the very fact that the FBI felt compelled to seek out a warrant underscores the gravity of what it has determined so far. Unlike wiretaps or surreptitious entries, search warrants become public information, especially when they target public figures; the inevitable fallout from targeting a public figure of this magnitude will have been considered extremely carefully at all levels of law enforcement involved."

                                          Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka
