Donald is about to go through some things...

[Al-O-Meter]

Assumptions from you mean nothing.

It isn't me that should concern you. I'm one person. It is the half of the United States who doesn't trust the FBI and can see for themselves that a democrat was treated one way while a republican was treated very different.

Fish has to make it personal again. It’s almost like he doesn’t want to discuss the issues and have a give and take. He would rather throw stones at people he disagrees with.


The assumption he is making is one that is being discussed. Is there a use of the DOJ that is being used as a political weapon. Many feel it is and has been for many years. If I recall pelosi felt that way during the trump era as did Schumer. Is this the way we wish our country to be run?

Trump admittedly took classified documents from the white house. Thats a no no. The fbi (lead by the man trump appointed) went to a judge and got a search warrant and executed the search warrant. This is literally the fbi doing their job. Trump has been caught in corruption multiple time in the past. He has a history.

Well this is simply the republican way now. Trust nothing and no one other than trump of all people. Act like victims at all times.
Look, they investigated hillary. They investigated trump. They investigated hunter. None of them have been charged with anything. Looking at the scorecard im seeing 2 dems and only 1 repub. man the justice department is actually going after the dems more! Oh. Noes.
See if the dems acted like the repubs then they would be up in arms about this. They arent though. I think that democrats dont really care if hunter or hillary get busted by the law.
But trump? Oh no. Trump is super duper innocent of any and all wrongdoing. I mean he has never been in trouble with the law in the past even. And when he has been in trouble with the law in the past it was all a witch hunt and a hoax. But hillary and hunter, they are super duper evil villains that the justice department wont even investigate. And when they do get investigated its always an insufficient investigation. All hail orange god king!

It’s also not our job to give into the irrational fears of Trump supporters. They want to be coddled and spoiled and placated to like a bunch of toddlers. That’s not how the world works. If we did, we’d constantly be playing whack a mole with whatever makes them scared, angry, or distrustful; the media, black people, history books, LGBTs, Jews, liberals, the FBI, masks, doctors, etc.

If Republicans want to self-radicalize by convincing themselves that:
1. Q is real and is fighting to save the world from pedos.
2. Hillary drinks child’s blood at a pizza restaurant.
3. Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election.
4. Covid was invented by Fauci and vaccines are bad but horse dewormer and flashlights up the *** are good.
5. Jews are trying to replace white Republicans with immigrants.
6. Russia and Putin are awesome.
7. There’s a deep state biased against Republicans.
8. George Soros is part of a grand conspiracy.
9. Trump actually won the 2020 election, Italian satellites, and Hugo Chavez changed votes. And Jan 6 was actually instigated by antifa.
10. The FBI has it in for Trump (ignoring as you said, Clinton was investigated several times over decades and Hunter is still being investigated).

All 10 of these are Republican beliefs. Are we supposed to… Respect these dumbass beliefs?

what are we supposed to do about this??? I feel like the Jazz actually won two chips against MJ and the bulls. Why won’t grown *** adults take me seriously? Oh noes, now I don’t trust the NBA! Someone respect me! Coddle me! Or else I’m going to do something dangerous, stupid, and illegal!

Republicans are old enough to be big boys. At some point they need to take responsibility for their beliefs. None of us are going to convince them that they’ve been brainwashed. And we can’t keep babying them either. Babying them only enables them. It seems like they want complete immunity from their criminal actions.

Hm. They lie all the time on this network. After all, it’s Russian propaganda. Often however, they do put kernels of truth out there. For months now they haven’t talked about NATO, but have tried to juice Russians about the greatness of a Russian empire. Which is ultimately, the truth behind their invasion of Ukraine.

But this seems to be a very specific worry. And would it surprise anyone if Donald was selling America out to make a few bucks?

I hope for the sake of our country that this is inaccurate but I fear it might be accurate. I really fear for our armed forces and intelligence community if this is true. Putin is right behind the Republican Party as our democracy’s greatest threat. This is one of the biggest reasons why he was unfit for office. You can’t elect an amoral transactional demagogue who has no loyalty other than to himself.

James Madison nailed it when he described the importance of virtue in the electorate. And if the electorate doesn’t have virtue, then they won’t value virtue. And if we don’t value virtue, then democracy cannot survive. It cannot surprise if leaders are merely amoral transactional narcissists (like most of his worshippers too, they’re amoral transactional narcissistic d bags). At some point, democratic leaders need to think about what’s best for the country.

Here’s his quote
…that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom. Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks--no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.

Also, why wasn’t swalwell investigated and raided for having an affair with a Chinese spy? Why isn’t anyone associated with Epstein being raided…well maybe trump is now

You know that raids don’t happen every time there’s an investigation, right?

 

[Avery]

I would actually argue that if Biden were behind the raid that they picked an incredibly awful time with them actually passing some significant bills, gas prices retreating and some general winds at their back. This kind of raid would have been better served for a later date if it had any executive fingerprints at all.

Agreed.

The last 4 weeks have been by far the best of his presidency. Did you see our inflation numbers today? Why would Biden and the Democrats want to distract from that?

I’m definitely not tired from all of this winning! This is great news for every American regardless of political affiliation, right? Unless you want things to suck here.

The problem with this argument is that it doesn't apply to presidents because the president has the broad and unquestioned powers to declassify anything at any time without any process. Trump could have taken a box filled with copies of the most super top secret documents the US government had, decided they were no longer classified and stuck them in trunk of his car. It is a power the Secretary of State does not have which is why what Hillary did was so much worse. The issue with Trump is the Presidential Records Act which requires that all records, classified or unclassified, be preserved for the public by the National Archives and Records Administration.

If Trump had taken the only copy of something, that could land him in hot water, but using the FBI to conduct a massive raid because the National Archives thinks he might have something they don't have a copy of is an unprecedented abuse of power. There had better be more to the raid then tracking down what is essentially overdue library books because if there is not more then this is nothing short of the Democrats declaring that so long as they are in power, they have more guns and will use them for any reason against their political enemies.

I wouldn’t include today’s inflation numbers as a win for Biden. 8.5% with the highest increase in electricity in 16 years. Food still going higher with last month being the highest increase since 1979. So yeah lower gas dropped the inflation rate but other major items people spend their money on every month had big jumps.

But he has had a nice streak going.

This seems to be following the previous Trump crimes. Deny at first but now slowly admit the criming was done and “so what deal with it.”

Here in a few days they’ll shift to the final step, how stupid he is and because he’s too stupid he shouldn’t be charged with a crime. The only thing missing here is the tweet denying that he “hardly knew Mar-a-Lago” and that she “begged like a dog for a job.”

We’ve all seen this movie too many times before.
