Mar-a-Lago raided

So curious what this is… this must be HUGE for them to do this.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah my thought as well.

I don’t think they’d do this over the mere existence of classified info at ML which has been a known issue for a long time.

@Jolly said in Mar-a-Lago raided:

I don't care what you think of Trump, this is chilling.

On this I think we both agree, albeit for different reasons.

[jon-nyc]

Pompeo is right here, with his comparison to HRC. If they are doing this just because there are classified docs there, they are grossly overplaying their hand and will get crucified over it. But I suspect they are after something very specific

[Horace]

I just assumed this was a politicized raid over a trumped up nothing burger. I mean like I didn’t seriously consider any other possibility, based on the TDSification of the FBI and Justice. We will see.

[xenon]

Now both the left and right want to defund the police.

[jon-nyc]

Imagine being DeSantis and having to pretend you’re not thrilled with this news.

Imagine being more concerned over politicized business relationships between Disney and Florida than with using law enforcement institutions to harass an unpopular ex president.

I know, wait and see!

[jon-nyc]

@Horace Indeed, let’s!

As I said above at least twice now, if they’re just doing this because they can (i.e. because there are classified docs there) they’ll have grossly overplayed their hand and shall be appropriately crucified.

But I strongly suspect that’s not what we’re looking at here.

Whether this is something big or an epic overreach, we can at least enjoy the Magat tears for a few days.

If Trump takes office in January 2025, remind me to remind him to audit your taxes every year he's in office.

Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States."

The FBI director is a Trump appointee.

[jon-nyc]

lol. I can only imagine. I read elsewhere that the words “Hunter Biden” were mentioned over 50 times in the 3 hours after this news broke.

[Horace]

You are positively giddy.

Sure didn't take long for the half-assed -- no, quarter-assed, no, eighth-assed -- hysterical outrage to bloom. My god, people are so ready to fly into ecstasies of rage anymore. No need for anything like reflection; yer reactions are all right there, ready to be snapped up on the spot without even breaking a sweat.

The wisest thing I redd in this thread and probably would be over the entire Internet is Jon's counsel to wait and see. But nooo, thanks to the magic of the social colossus, everybody all knows everything already, don't we!

SMH.

[Jolly]

Yeah, the wise man who is enjoying MAGAT tears.

GMAFB.

Like a teenage schoolgirl.

Meanwhile we are spending over $70,000/month on housing for Hunter Biden and his Secret Service detail.

A guy with provable felonies, and some serious allegations of influence peddling involving the Big Guy who now sits in the Whitehouse...the same Big Guy who most likely signed off on this raid. No, there won't be a paper trail on the raid, that's not how the Biden Crime Family does things.

But it is how things are done in a banana republic, when El Supremo wishes to wound a political opponent. I don't know why they are so scared if Trump...They've already shown they know how to rig an election.
