Motion to unseal
Link to quote above: https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/president-donald-trump-fbi-raid-mar-a-lago-house-news
Today Joe Biden's Attorney General came out of hiding and announced that he signed off on the raid that stunned the nation the other night. The DOJ also filed a motion to have the warrant unsealed. Both the DOJ and FBI have lost the trust of many Americans. The outstanding question is what happened between June when there was cooperation over documents and just recently when the Trump home was raided.
"A federal judge Thursday gave the Justice Department until 3 p.m. Friday to certify whether former President Donald Trump supports or opposes unsealing the warrant and property receipt from the FBI's search of his Mar-a-Lago home Monday.
"The United States shall immediately serve a copy of its Motion on counsel for former President Trump," Magestrate Judge Bruce Reinhard wrote in an order on the DOJ's motion to unseal the warrant and property receipt. "On or before 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on August 12, 2022, the United States shall file a certificate of conferral advising whether former President Trump opposes the Government's motion to unseal."

Christina Bob, a Trump attorney, now says she has a copy of the affidavit. So, this is one more political stunt: Garland is putting the burden on Trump to let a federal judge release the judicial warrant that allowed that outrageous search of Mar-a-Lago. Meta Deleted SP By next Friday the warrant might be unsealed. That of course, is only one part of this political melodrama. Garland had a difficult time trying to say the DOJ is doing all this by the legal book or that he had no other way.
Here is my question: It doesn't require disclosure of what was in the warrant, to tell the American public why such a heavy-handed raid was necessary?
What I really want to see is the application for the warrant. (the affidavit)
The Week:
CDC's new guidance: "Federal health officials scaled back guidance for quarantining and testing to screen for Covid-19 in settings including schools, a relaxation of pandemic precautions that reflects higher protection from vaccines, treatments and prior infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday said it no longer recommends that people quarantine after being exposed to the virus, as long as they don’t feel sick, get tested after five days and wear a high-quality mask around others for 10 days. People should still isolate from others for at least five days if they test positive, the CDC said."
https://www.wsj.com/articles/cdc-drops-quarantine-recommendation-following-covid-19-exposure-11660244410?mod=hp_lead_pos11
The CDC has done such a wonderful job, haven't they?
Shootings soar in Philadelphia: " So far this year, more than 1,400 people in the city have been shot, hundreds of them fatally, a higher toll than in the much larger cities of New York or Los Angeles. Alarms have sounded about gun violence across the country over the past two years, but Philadelphia is one of the few major American cities where it truly is as bad as it has ever been."
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/everybody-is-armed-as-shootings-soar-philadelphia-is-awash-in-guns/ar-AA10zlpV
That's what happens when you emasculate the police. I suppose somebody is going to tell us it's because people were cooped up during the pandemic.
Cincinnati standoff: " A man armed with a rifle tried to break into the security screening area of the FBI’s Cincinnati field office before fleeing the scene and being killed in a gun battle with police, officials said. The man attempted to breach the screening area at the office Thursday morning, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said. His entry set off an alarm, and armed agents responded. He first fired a nail gun at law enforcement, then brandished an AR-15-style rifle before fleeing in a Ford Crown Victoria, according to law enforcement officials. He was reportedly wearing body armor. The man, identified as 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer, had possible ties to extremist groups, according to a law-enforcement official. Those ties could include affiliation with the Proud Boys, the official said. The Proud Boys played a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol."

As I said, the FBI is no longer trusted by many.
Stink relief: "According to New Jersey officials, the foul smell has been reported across several counties before being identified on Wednesday. A tanker truck at a truck stop was releasing a chemical that caused the stench around Paulsboro, Gloucester County, officials said. Gloucester County Emergency Management issued a shelter-in-place around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday for East Greenwich, Paulsboro, Gibbstown and areas across the Delaware River after the fumes worsened. The issue was lifted approximately two hours later."

We can't blame Jersey anymore!
What have we learned?
It was an eventful week. Deleted for meta and a sweeping generalization - Sandy they get the Vice President of the United States supporting get out of jail funding. Worst of all they have corrupted the FBI to the point that it can't be saved. It seems that the politicized & weaponized FBI likes to send messages to Trump, his supporters and Republicans in general. Everyone of us is subject to a full 30 man armed raid. Well guess what? Yesterday a member of the misled "Proud Boys" sent the FBI a little message as well.
We mark America's opponents well. They riot and threaten us. Deleted for meta - sandy You may ask: Who would do such a thing? Better yet, why have they been tolerated for so long? Going forward we have to be unrelenting. Today we heard the politically corrupt Merrick Garland say that he would defend the FBI's "integrity." It is clearly too late for that.
Cartoon of the Week
Honorable Mention:
Whole Foods co-founder and CEO John Mackey
"My concern is that I feel like socialists are taking over," Mackey, who is set to retire from the Amazon-owned grocery chain at the end of the month after 44 years at the company, said in a podcast this week with Reason Magazine. "They're marching through the institutions."
Socialists have "taken over education. It looks like they've taken over a lot of the corporations. It looks like they've taken over the military. And it's just continuing — so I'm deeply concerned," he added."

President Trump's response:
Why hasn't Trump released the documents himself?
I bet you won't get an answer to that question.
Releasing the documents won't explain the actions of the DOJ and FBI. Garland and Wray are not constrained by a gag order. James Comey set the precedent for public explanation of FBI actions and justifications. Unsealing the documents won't make this go away. DOJ and FBI will still be confronted with questions that need answers.
Trump still holds a security clearance so simply possessing classified material isn't the problem. Clinton's email server set the precedent. The issue is secure storage of classified material; not possession of classified material. The Clinton investigation was about inadequate security measures and not about possessing classified material.
Um, did you forget that Comey was FIRED because of it?
Here's hoping that you get all the answers you need from the transcript of the trial.
False. Trump holds NO level of security clearance.
Utter BS.
Actually, it's BOTH.
After millions spent on multiple investigations, NO wrongdoing was found on Clinton's part. In fact, NO ONE was prosecuted for ANYTHING. You should read Trey Gowdy's and the IG's reports if you don't believe me.
So how some folks just make that shit up as they go . . .
Fired by who?
What trial? Congress is responsible for oversight, not the courts.
Untrue.
That's not correct. The question concerning Clinton's email server was intent. The ultimate conclusion was that Clinton was self centered and incompetent. Clinton did not intend to do anything nefarious or criminal with the information on her server. Clinton set up an email server outside of government channels because of her own paranoia and distrust in government systems. Clinton's use of a private email server was self serving and incompetent.
Clinton being a paranoid conspiracy theorist is not criminal.
True. Presidents are not subject to security screening and technically have no level of
security clearance.
Once out of office, he or she still has no security level.
The current POTUS then decides which prior occupants of the WH get courtesy
briefings.
No members of the House, Senate or the Cabinet are subject to security screening.
What Kind of Security Clearance Does the President Get? (clearancejobs.com)
Security Clearances In And Out Of White House: What You Need To Know : NPR
Trump is the clown that denied Biden and his team briefings by the intelligence community, no ?
That is incorrect. Presidents are not subject to security screening; that part is true. However, a President is commander in chief and has the authority to both classify and declassify material. A President actually holds the highest security clearance in the executive branch of government.
Voters grant the authority over classified materials. That's why bureaucratic government is subordinate to elected officials.
Wrong again.
Thanks.
Technically and practically, yes, and settled by SCOTUS in 1988 in Navy vs Egan,
(provided the President follows the protocol for declassifying top secret docs which the
Trump Administration apparently failed to do properly),
so based on Roe v Wade, I suppose that could be overturned as well.
By fiat alone and yet he is still restricted from seeing certain documents, he is after all
a temporary executive, not a king.
Only ONE person can fire the Director of the FBI.
The trial for the crimes listed in the warrant. Go READ it.
This isn't about government oversight; this is about federal crimes.
Bullshit Nerm. Your hyperbolic soliloquy is merely unfounded opinion. I am referring to actual investigative reports by those that desperately wanted to nail Clinton yet after spending millions, had to admit there was no there, there.
One thing stands out like the elephant in the room...
Where is the indictment?
The elephant in THIS room is that even after all of the evidence presented in the warrant and the inventory, you're still deflecting.
You cite lot's of evidence, but still no indictment.
Where is it?
The same place as the Clinton indictment Vic.
Right!
I do like honesty.
So the ruling left is still lying and cheating.
Thanks
Delusional and utterly unsupported by your comments.
So you're just going to throw out utterly unfounded bullshit.
Hey, you be you Vic.
I accept no thanks for you posting comments like those in this thread.
By giving you credit for honesty?
Ok, have yourself a good day.
Where did you do that Vic?
You stated:
Nothing to do with me.
The go to for: 'I've run out of bullshit'.
Not the news.
Trump Says Biden Could Never Take the Fifth as Many Times as He Did
“I’d like to see Sleepy Joe sit in a chair for six hours and take the Fifth four hundred times.”
By Andy Borowitz
What happened was - Trump turned over some of the documents in question earlier this year, but not all of them. The DOJ learned this because of an informant within Trump's inner circle. Thus the "raid".
Trump is out of gas [Deleted]
Sounds like rumor. And you have all that documented?
How about a link?
Read something besides Just The News and maybe you will learn something.
You do know that a subpoena was served on him for the documents earlier this year dont you?
I didn't request an insult. I asked for a link to your claim.
I do.
However you just said: "but not all of them. The DOJ learned this because of an informant within Trump's inner circle. Thus the "raid".
That is the part I want a link to!
Nobody has yet proved there was an informant.
Did Trump reply to the earlier subpoena or not? If he did and withheld documents that is reason to raid him. If he didnt reply that is reason to raid him too.
That is not what I asked a link for.
You said there was an informer.
PROVE IT
"Typically when a person avoids answering a question, that question was posed by another person in a debate or discussion . In such cases, the person is not only evincing flawed reasoning but also violating basic principles of discussion."

Liz Cheney down 28 points against Trump-backed challenger, even with help from Democrats
Is this the way the coming elections are going to go?
That is what happens when you do something stupid and get kicked out of your party.
Cheney is a standing member for the Republican Party Conference in the House.
What was she thinking?
She wasn't selected by her party to sit on the Jan 6th Committee.
Oh lookey here!!!! Somebody hasn't been paying attention.
[deleted]
Removed for context
Strawman.
Again, Liz Cheney is a standing member of the Republican Conference in the House. She was NOT 'kicked out the party'.
She was in her home state FFS
Who said she was?
Oh, lookey here, someone doesn't comprehend that the Republican Party is a NATIONAL organization.
Perhaps that she swore an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump.
Another that doesn't comprehend that the Republican Party is a national organization.
You voted up the comment and replied to it Vic. Just stop.
You didn't answer my question.
"Typically when a person avoids answering a question, that question was posed by another person in a debate or discussion . In such cases, the person is not only evincing flawed reasoning but also violating basic principles of discussion."
.
Point remains. She got kicked out of the Republican Party. There was no national implied. Everyone knows, or should, that the Wyoming GOP booted her
Actually, I did. Your inability to comprehend it is on you.
BTFW Vic, I bookmarked your quote and will be posting it just as often as you avoid answering my questions. You'll be seeing it a lot...
Oh, and WTF does Freud have to do with your quote?
Actually, there isn't anything you can tell me that I don't know.
BTFW Vic, I bookmarked your quote and will be posting it just as often as you avoid answering my questions. You'll be seeing it a lot...
Very good. Now you know why I take the time to teach. Keep that with you and whenever somebody refuses to answer you, use it.
I am so proud of my students.
and yet it happened.
Since I do so almost every day, your comment is delusional.
I will, especially with you.
What I did find interesting is that you chose to quote a secular humanist. Not your usual source.
What's wrong, you can't formulate your own statements? How very Biden like of you to plagiarize somebody else.
What's wrong, have to make things up and have zero point?
You are mistaking me as being one of you.
Hahaha I would never accuse nor want you to be.
Yes, she was thinking, using her brain and conscience which couldn't justify defending the Republican lies and attempted insurrection. She is one of the few in the Republican party with any backbone left, just about all the others have folded and spend their days licking Trumps feet hoping to get a scrap of his loyal followers from Trumps table to support their political ambitions.
I don't agree with most of Liz's conservative policies, she's most definitely a Republican. But it's nice to know not all of them are groveling obsequious worms who would sell their own grandmothers to an eastern Europe brothel before they dared offend their chosen Liar-in-Chief, Velveeta Voldemort.
It would be an insult to think I'm one of you.
Only in your mind Jeremy. Every other thinking person knows that Liz Cheney is STILL a member of the Republican party.
Um, the quote I am referring to is from the link Vic posted written by Austin Cline, a secular humanist.
So, if your standard is posting member formulated statements, your issue is with Vic.
Please proceed.
And even with daddy's help in an ad ...
OMG did he age. They say alcohol will do that.
It seems like only yesterday he rushed into George W's office to announce "We have boots on the ground!"
He sure has, and he looks very menacing in his ad. What I find funny every time I see it is that he doesn't point out anything good about his daughter's record. The whole ad is based upon the premise of we hate Trump.
Evidently they have drawn the line with Donald Trump.
Do you know what's wrong with establishment Republicans?
They have lost touch with working class America.
Democrats love the man now. The hypocrisy of the Democrats is astounding. Why would anyone trust them?
I remember when Democrats called him a war criminal.
Yep.
He IS a WAR CRIMINAL, and his daughter is a Patriotic citizen for her efforts to expose Trump. Dick. will ALWAYS be a Dick
Maybe you love him. I never loved the heartless dick.
No Democrats I know love heartless dicks like the majority of the republicans.
Getting an endorsement from a war criminal is very Patriotic....
How many do you know?
its like Dick vs the "pussy grabber" back stabber little hands down his pants taking tabberz of slippery Acid, asz he keeps droppin it, cause it's slippery, and he's got , little hands
You have quite an imagination. A perverted one but you do you.
What's your sign, Sunshine ?
“Do you know what's wrong with establishment Republicans?
They have lost touch with working class America.”
that happened a long time ago, Vic, imo. Dems have left the working class too. The only one standing up for the working class is trump and the pols who follow his policies.
"Today Joe Biden's Attorney General came out of hiding and announced that he signed off on the raid that stunned the nation the other night. The DOJ also filed a motion to have the warrant unsealed. Both the DOJ and FBI have lost the trust of many Americans. The outstanding question is what happened between June when there was cooperation over documents and just recently when the Trump home was raided."
Not really stunned, just really, really satisfied and happy that the wheels of justice are in motion to finally hopefully put this lifelong criminal behind bars and all those behind 1/6/21. We finally see that he is not above the law as it seems the majority of his supporters feel he is.
If they just go with the classified and probably top secret documents - he'll probably just get a slap on the wrist. They can't stop there. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
#45 cooperating? How did he cooperate by giving them 15 boxes and hiding 12? And ignoring multiple subpoenas?? How is that cooperating?
The DOJ and FBI have lost the trust of trumpurd's supporters, no one else.
Also, it wasn't a raid. It was legally authorized search. For the party of Law and Order
That's the MSM talking point.
No one knows how legal the warrant and search were until the affidavit is published. "Probable cause" is still part of the US Constitution.
Of course it was legal. How moronic. There was ample probable cause.
Please provide a source proving that there "was ample probable cause", because thus far, the public has seen neither the warrant nor the affidavit.
No need. The truth is obvious.
[Deleted]
Maybe they should murder him like they murdered Ashli Babbitt?
That traitor bitch got exactly what she deserved.
She was not murdered.
Life long sociopath/psychopath Thugs like him - I'm surprised that hasn't happened, yet.
So in your mind it was a good thing?
Life long sociopath/psychopath Thugs like him - I'm surprised that hasn't happened, yet.
It almost happened to some FBI agents yesterday.
Because of threats to them by supporters of #45
Actually no.
Many people are angry that the FBI has become the KGB
she wasn't murdered, but I'm good with that, as long as there's a camera rolling.
We get it.
No? Then who shot and killed unarmed Ashli Babbitt at point blank range? Oh, that's right ... the US Capitol Police. She was the only one who was killed that day.
every insurrectionist that attempted to enter the capitol J6 should have been dropped by LE.
Actually, YA, because of threats to them made by supporters of #45
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but many hate & fear the FBI.
Absolutely hilarious how some here are talking about the rule of law when their hero #45 and his mobs of domestic terrorist insurrectionists appear to be above it.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but many hate & fear the FBI."
#45 and his mobs of domestic terrorist insurrectionists and supporters, you mean?
Do you feel the same about the insurrectionists who barricaded police inside their precinct building and then set fire to it during 2020's "Summer of Love" or is your dismissal of the rule of law only reserved for Trump supporters?
yeah, criminals, the gullible, and morons...
Yes, they most definitely deserved the same fate.
After she was shot I'm sure the rest of the scum shit their pants and fled like the vermin they are
Meh, most Americans feel the same way about BLM protestors that burned, looted and robbed thousands of business, killed dozens of people and injured thousands of law enforcement during the 2020 summer riots.
Scum is scum
Don't get me started on cockroaches
Glad you agree most BLM is scum.
Wrist slaps are reserved for Berger, Obama, and Hillary.
All you got? Deflections.
3 PM will come and pass with nothing. My guess would be is because they have no real justification in the raid making anything seized would be illegally seized. In essence making this just a continuation of the "Witch Hunt" that started in 2016.
Trump could have released the documents himself on MONDAY.
He'll just continue to grift his moron supporters for as long as he possibly can.
Why not Garland?
What of idiotic Biden's supporters?
Can I label them?
May I recommend "Brainwashed" or "Bidenite Boneheads"?
That's assuming (which you all seem to do a lot of and are regularly wrong) he has them.
I'm going to add it to the list. One day we'll have a vote.
No, I'm not assuming anything. I KNOW that his attorney was given the documents. He can release them any time he wants.
The mere idea that you think you are a credible source is laughable.
And I suppose you think you are? Hahaha
If you think I am, I'm good with it.
Still just making things up out of thin air I see.
"Still just making things up out of thin air I see."
Well when that's all they got they tend to go for it.
Reminds me of an expression I love 'If you're going to go bear - go grizzly'
We know the answer to that one.
Dulay is a credible source.
JRIN?
Your strawman is laughable Jeremy.
BTFW, I furnished Vic with the link to the Motion to unseal the warrant which states clearly that Trump's attorney was give copies of the documents that were released just about an hour ago. Why don't you ask him about it in y'all's next meeting?
Wouldn't that be the ice cream on the cake? We have both Garland and Trump calling for the release of the Warrant and the judge suddenly decides not to!
It would be just as openly suspicious as everything else they've done
DOJ, FBI, SCOTUS, IRS, Military, Law Enforcement have lost the trust of Americans, supposedly. Congress hasn't had Americans trust for decades. Presidential administrations untrusted.
Of course, this all depends on what actions/policies have been taken. On any given day in various websites these departments are vilified or praised by the exact same people. This is regardless of political party.
Seeing the affidavit is more important than the warrant. Never forget those fake FISA warrants.
DEFLECTION
Evidently, it's the word of the day.
That's evidently all you and the majority of your readers have.
well it is friday , and past noon on the east coast , so there is that ....
Yes, both the warrant AND the affidavit need to be released. The warrant only states the where and the scope (what they are allowed to look for and where they can look for it), the affidavit tells the reasoning behind why the judge approved the warrant. We need to see both. The optics of this are so terrible that everything needs to be shown or there will be no trust left.
Do you think progressives realize how bad this looked?
I know Merrick Garland would not have approved this if he was not certain it was warranted, justified and necessary...
I'm sure you have faith in the likes of Garland. He doesn't need to show us the warrant to explain why a former President's home was raided as would be done to a drug lord. Unlike you, I have no trust in Garland, Biden, Rice, Obama or Bill Ayers.
Whose good name is safe from character assassins. Liz and Dick Cheney? George and Laura Bush? Mitt and Ann Romney?
At long last is there nobody you and Trump won't assassinate?
I assassinated them? How?
Yes, you assassinate their good names, their characters. You slander and libel them and bear false witness against them. Nobody is safe. Not even lifelong loyal rock solid Republicans.
Are you sure it's me doing that?
Who was it that called Trump a liar when he said he had been wiretapped?
That attitude finally exposed Old Joe McCarthy's malignance!
That looks a lot like the Jan 6th committee!
At long last have you no decency. Is nobody safe? Republicans?
You are reduced to pretending you do not catch my drift, and so
I'm not defending you!
No, like a classic Perry Mason moment you indicated yourself!
We know, he only supports trumpturd and his mobs of domestic insurrectionist terrorists and supporters.
They don't care who gets hurt. They don't care about ruined careers or even putting people in danger to protect Trump.
One of these is not like the others.
Yes we do know how bad [Deleted] and #45 look
Horrible
Desperate
Deplorable
Usually we only get to see an affidavit after there has been a conviction.
Interesting that the homes of the Pelosis, Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens (and those of their associates) have never been raided.
DEFLECTION.
Why would their homes have to been raided?
That doesn't make a goddamned bit of sense.
There it is again!
Why would their homes have to been raided?
We only told you about 40 million times yesterday
Never received a reason why their homes would have to have been raided, a valid reason, a legal and justified reason, unlike trumpturd.
Yes you did. It happened to be the same reason that this thing is supposedly about.
Nope, never did.
It wasn't for lack of trying
You failed.
I won't give up. Teaching is a calling with me.
(Bloomberg) -- Former President Donald Trump said he supported the release of documents related to the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this week, including a copy of the search warrant and a receipt of items that agents took from the property."
It looks like Garland has been called and raised!
One would think that after so many years, an allegedly smart man like Garland would know better than to think he could win a poker game against Trump with a pair of deuces.
Garland may have made a terrible mistake. One that will that will go down in infamy.
The Biden/Obama Administration is partying like it's 1999. Now that the pandemic is over and they can't scare Americans with their made-up crap about that, they keep inventing new bogeymen.
What's the adage about "Whistling past the graveyard?"
And they are really acting.
How long will they wait to sit Biden and Harris down and tell them both that for the good of the party neither can run again?
It's probably already happened, because both have been such dismal failures. Looks like Beto might be the 2024 shining star. I just hope they can restrain him from jumping onto diner counters!
My hunch is that beto loses by an even bigger margin this time.
Which puts us back to recycling Klobuchar, Warren, Bernie, and Hillary.
I guess they don't want Pete "Beaver Cleaver" Buttigieg either.
Apparently not, even though he fits their DEI criteria.
(Personally, I'm reminded of Howdy Doody without freckles whenever I see him!)
He can talk us silly. The man goes on for hours and in the end nobody can recall what he was talking about.
I should tape his speeches for when I want to go to sleep.
"The weak presentation by Attorney General Garland on Thursday and the stonewall testimony by FBI director Christopher Wray last week should disturb every American." ...Bill O'Rielly
What do Robert Mueller, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland all have in common?
They are all lifelong rock solid Republicans. Every one of them!
That's not the only thing they have in common is it? They also lack integrity. Do you know what integrity looks like?
In the final days of the Trump administration there was pressure on AG Bill Barr to appoint a Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden case. He refused because he thought it was inappropriate for one administration to investigate what amounted to it's political opponent's son. Can you understand how bad the democratic party looks right now?
Oh, please. Don't make me laugh. So are the Cheneys and Bushes, and look who they voted for in 2016 and 2020.
And Manchin and Sinema were rock solid democrats.
How soon they forget?
The only nice thing about Bill is that he liked Herbie Hancock. But hey, thanx for the link, the overpriced Xmas ornaments are 'priceless'.
Simpletons are so easily amused.

"Author Salman Rushdie was attacked on stage at an event in western New York on Friday morning.
Rushdie was scheduled to speak at the Chautauqua Institution.
According to an Associated Press reporter, Rushdie was attacked by a man who hopped on stage while he was being introduced.
The man began “stabbing or punching” Rushdie, who fell to the floor. The man was then restrained and later taken into custody by police."
Now to find out how the terrorist got into the country!
wtf, did the society of bluehairs and morons have a convention recently?
Did you want to see him killed too?
is he a trumpster?
You never heard of Salman Rushdie?
There may be a news blackout in Denver.
Well, the Biden Administration has repeatedly assured us that the southern border is closed and "secure", so it can't be from there. /sarc
Hmmmm ... the same administration has been cozying up to Iran lately, so it could be this, too:
That was my first thought!
so it could be this, too:
Yup, they've been after him for a long time. They couldn't get near him before Biden.
Channeling Reed Richards ... impressive.
Wow, so you are actually going to blame an Iranian that wants to assassinate someone on Biden...
Perhaps you should point out exactly where in my comment 11.2 that I "actually" blamed Biden. FYI ... the auxilliary verb, "could", in the way I used it, indicates conditional function and is in no way an accusation.
No? You only insinuated it was his fault because of an open border and 'cozying up' to Iran.
Now trying, once again, to say, I didn't say that....just because I didn't use those exact words....
Plausible deniability?
Chalk it up to residual memories of reading Ann Coulter.
That's funny! I see that you couldn't point out that of which you accused me. No prob.
They deny that too, while parroting exact words...
Has been a couple of similar news items lately,
Thank you Sir
And what does any of that have to do with this seed?
Let it go, it was a 'gotcha' moment.
A Friend of Jimmy Carter?
Seeing that Rushdie was invited to the Carter Center in 2015, I guess they buried that shovel, but hey thanks for digging it out from under the grave.
The One Sentence Republicans Need to Stop Using
“Their big talking point that they all independently apparently came up with is… if they can do this to the president, think what they can do to you. First of all, he’s not the president,” Andy says.
“And it would be nice if they would stop saying, ‘If they can do this to the president.’ They didn’t do this to the president. They did this to a private citizen who happened to have been the president. So they’re not doing this to the president. The president is Joe Biden, right? The FBI did not execute a search warrant on the White House . Let’s get rid of that right away. And anyone who says that is completely foolish.”
Then, Tim O’Brien, senior executive editor of opinion at Bloomberg, joins the show and reveals what he finds most compelling in the “ridiculous sideshow” that’s emerged in the wake of the search, “which is that he’s being unfairly targeted and that this is political .”
“Of course no president and no U.S. citizen is above the law. And this is a common legal practice and a prosecutorial practice, and the Justice Department and the FBI are enforcing the law,” he says.
“The idea that somehow Trump shouldn’t be subjected to the same laws as everyone else is ridiculous.”
I'll be back later.
Class dismissed.
How crass of you!

Are republicans insane? Have spent several days saying the justice department needs to be open and show what was going on.
Then when the department says ok and says the will provide the info turn around and call it a political stunt.
I have never in my life seen such blind, complete devotion to a single person that is a complete piece of shit.
It's mind boggling and dumbfounding and beyond reason. It doesn't make a goddamned bit of sense.
Yes, I believe many are.
Insane: adjective - in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill
Living in their Reich wing conservative alternate universe has detached them from reality which makes 'normal perception, behavior or social interaction' all but impossible for them.
Are deflections all you have?
None of them are under Federal investigation nor did they incite mobs of domestic terrorists in a failed domestic coup.
None of them stored Top Secret Classified documents in their basement without a lock.
How quickly we've forgotten about Hillary's unauthorized, unsecured private servers in her Chappaqua house. How quickly we've forgotten about her 33,000 classified (and higher) emails on those servers that she tried to Bleach-Bit. My, my, my.
By the way ... when FBI agents went to MAL in June 2022, they asked Trump to put another lock on the door, and he complied. Don't believe me? Look it up.
Hope springs eternal.
There's really no need to respond to such a horse shit meme, right wing conspiracy theorists have already had their minds poisoned by the toxic right wing conservative alternate universe where they imagine all Democrats guilty of something regardless of their complete lack of evidence of any crime. Trying to explain it to them would just be a waste of time.
“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” - Mark Twain
"Arguing with a toxic person is like trying to argue with an actor in a play. It doesn’t matter what you say, they will stick to their lines, because it is the only role they know". – Anthony Gucciardi
As someone who's taught a number of subjects in both the public and private sectors (children and adults) I can assure you that even the most reluctant are capable of learning.
Of course all their investigations in to Clinton that yielded nothing are just viewed as a corrupt system...
Wow, the turd had two locks placed on the door in the basement storage room of Mar-A-Lardo - sounds like a high level top notch foolproof security measure to me for Top Secret and Classified documents
Hope was the last thing to leave Pandora's Box and she looks nothing like Hicks.
He did what the FBI asked. You should direct your complaints to the FBI.

A perfect example of why most liberal IQs remain in low numbers.
They refuse to want to learn everything and demand things are spoon fed to them.
I always forget that I'm dealing with the 'new abnormal' world of the cult of 45
Crime pays very well for Democrats.
Up next ...
Who is the circled fellow?
