    "Ladies and gentlemen, We Are All Domestic Terrorists"

    So...this is a really weird attempt to "reclaim" a phrase by Republicans. Or like...should we just call the FBI and tell them about this so they can arrest everyone who agreed that yes, they are a domestic terrorist?

    Seriously, modern conservatism ain't brainworm shit. The fuckin brainworms would starve to death.

    All the "but muh Hunter Biden!" copium is delicious. Fox News is some lovely schadenfreude right now.

    I will just comment on how we thought Trump might use federal agencies to arrest Hillary, this is the same to them.

    Differences? Sure. Let's say they raided and possibly arrested Hillary. Many of us would call bs. Say it's a political hit job, abuse of power, etc.

    They going to play Trump the same way and while we say evidence of him taking documents or whatever this will be played as so hyper partisan.

    Our country is so effed. The threat of political violence is here, fueled by right wing media and politicians who just want power.

    They've been crying about Clinton's emails and Hunters laptop so long you would think a few of them took notes on how to hide evidence, allegedly.

    Just checked Brietbart and they're blaming DeSantis and Ann Coulter for this.

    Doesn't matter if they were declassified, he still couldn't take them, because of the presidential records act.

    Yep, they are comparing this to Watergate where FBI agents were hired by Nixon to steal DNC documents, to these FBI agents, that had a SIGNED WARRANT from a FEDERAL JUDGE to execute this search warrant. They are morons.

    Ann's been politically irrelevant in conservative circles when the overton window shifted far enough that her previously "outrageous" comments became fairly pedestrian, plus frequently criticizing Trump (and then reversing course).

    DeSantis is actually fairly interesting, because it could either be the, "We don't understand how government works and mob bosses are supposed to protect each other!" angle, or maybe they're intentionally targeting him since he's currently the biggest threat to a 2024 Trump presidency right now.

    DeSantis has zero authority here.

    Statement from Kevin McCarthy and his support of fascism.


    They really don't like that Trump is being held accountable for the fucking crimes he has committed. Here's to hoping that current polling holds and Republicans lose seats in both houses in November.

    Earlier on Monday, federal prosecutors emphatically rejected a request by John Eastman, the conservative lawyer who had advised former President Trump of options to block congressional certification of the 2020 election, to return his cell phone. Eastman's phone was confiscated in New Mexico as part of an investigation into the scheme to put forward false slates of pro-Trump electors in battleground states won by Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020.
    Television journalists and two Trump supporters holding flags stood on a bridge across the water from Mar-a-Lago late Monday. Closer to the resort, a few police vehicles were sitting on South Ocean Blvd. Federal agents, including one holding a long rifle, were nearby with their vehicles guarding the entrance.
    Whoa whoa whoa! Not a rifle! A 2nd Amendment Freedom Baton.

    If these chuds turn on DeSantis like they did Pence for 'not protecting Trump' then Clinton might as well run in 2024 just to rub it in

    What are the odds Trump riles his base up enough (again) to do something really fucking stupid (again)....this time toward the Feds? And he'll let them fall on the sword (again)?

    En masse? He can't. Last time he had a big scheduled rally. Today there's like two guys with flags.

    All the usuals are currently on trial for January 6th.
    The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped form our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.

    Nobody should give a shit what they think, to be brutally honest.

    They're making shit up to feed their delusional aggression. Trying not to feed that just means they'll make up crazier shit; they're gonna lie to feed their delusional aggression no matter what you do. All you should do if they raise a "but Hillary" criticism is straight-up mock them for being extremist dingbats, right to their faces. If they get angry enough to resort to violence, that's still 100% on them and that's what police forces exist for; toss them in prison for domestic terrorism on top of whatever criminal acts they committed.

    You should always consider if they have a point, but in this case, it's obvious as fuck that they don't, so fuck 'em.

    "When" Republicans take back the House? Not "if"? Sure seems like he might be oopsie-doopsie leaking secret knowledge of upcoming election fraud in Republicans' favor.

    That's not really serious, but if Garland has literally anything on McCarthy, now's the time to lay it out, issue search warrants, and so on. And then treat said threat there as the obstruction of justice that it pretty factually is.

    Agreed. When they have the moral high ground of not defending a murderous insurrection, maybe their words will be something other than hypocritical hot air.

    What is the penalty for taking classified documents when you aren't allowed to? Fines, jail time?
