Yes. Lets bring in the blacks and the poor people. :rolleyes:

Trump wasn't even there so how did the raid stop him from fleeing the country?

Yes, it was stupid and just a drama show for the media. They could have accomplished the same thing without dozens of FBI Agents with assault rifles. What were they expecting a private army. Just like Roger Stones arrest. Silly Drama show.

I can't wait to see what was on their get list and see what they actually found.
I think people are hammering on you despite the fact that the points about being innocent until proven guilty are sound because we all know or should know that ones personal perspective on things is so easily and obviously determined by whose ox gets gored. The people on the left here that want to blame people for the perspective they unconsciously bring to the table are looking past any truth in your words and attributing to you an evil in the way you see things, that your real intention is to avoid acknowledgement conservatives rationalize away implications that puncture the logic of the black and white way they (conservatives) want to see things.

What happens in any argument where there are partisan need that are challenged and need defending each step of logic that refutes a primary rationalization will have a new rationalization arise to replace it when the former can no longer be defended. This is true of any form of partizan alliance, left or right. What you can watch for to see that in action is to observe where you go next in your thinking when you actually do see their get list and what they find. See if the implications of what is discovered don't create some new rationalization designed to poo-pooing them away.

Meanwhile I think we know that, say, every warranted drug bust based on sound evidence will not always turn up solid proof. Was that because the sound evidence wasn't really sound, of perhaps there were other reasons why no evidence was found? These are important distinctions that rationalizations may want to blur.

The wonder of rationalization caused by 'whose ox gets gored', is that the more it becomes obvious that's the mechanism in operation, the more far fetched the rationalizations will become. But despite that fact, they will remain self convincing.

This phenomenon, I would say, is there to protect the ego. Too bad too, because all the ego is is a self identification with whatever we Stockholm survivors were fed as the One Truth (the big lie we were sold) that if you buy it you will be a good person and if you let go if that faith you will be a worthless piece of shit. You could not fear that unless you had already been made to feel it as a real threat. You are only lovable if you obey. And you wonder why psychopaths love to create cults.

The dumb son. I can't remember which one is thicker, admits the WH under the orange menace was running the DOJ.


"Eric Trump: I know the white house as well anyone. I know the system. This did not happen without Joe Biden's explicit approval."

It's what they say, about R's. Every accusation is a confession
Maybe the Jan 6 committee should call him in for questioning on how he knows that.

I'm not sure what your worry is about or what point you are trying to make. In CT primaries are closed-only registered Dems can vote in Dem primaries, only GOP in GOP ones. And a race is contested at the party level only if a potential candidate gets enough support (via petitions) to force a primary. CT's GOP politics are pretty much the same as GOP nationally except that we have substantially more conventional/old line/sane ones than the national norm. However the fringe elements tend to turn out to vote in primaries, which generally have a very low level of voter turnout.

It would not surprise me at all if a GOP primary result ends up with a MAGA type being the official candidate. The chances of any of them beating Blumenthal are essentially nil. Especially if the GOP nominee turns out to be a wack job.
You *want* a MAGA nutter to win right?

We White Republicans should do the talking/voting with our AR-15. Keep Texas, Florida and southern states where Jim Crow is still alive and kicking. You libtards can keep California, New York and every progressive Shithole state you have ruined with your homosexual agenda.

Or...why he sidetracked into some state primary that nobody else mentioned and has no logical connection...but, this IS @Amol S. we're talking about here. :rolleyes:

So did I. Whether or not he means what he posts, he's a troll. Plain and simple. Even if he's taking the piss, it isn't witty or humorous. It's just racist and homophobic trope commentary that has no place here.

Not to mention he's too stupid to understand who the "new clown" comment was directed at a few pages back.

Depends on the specific drug crime and the person.

I don't think Trump or Stone had weapons and were going to go out blazing away.

You are comparing apples and oranges. Silly.

Yeah I’m sitting on the sidelines until specific info comes out.
Whole story is strange. Ultra conservative organization (the FBI) lead by the Justice Department who is a guy who craves normalcy. Odd unprecedented move by a guy and an organization which would likely have preferred to stay out of it.
I simply don’t know what the goal was as of now.

But we know Trump didn't read jack shit while in office. He signed whatever the R's said to.

The other amazing thing is if the former President really wanted these papers he allegedly took he could have declassified them moments before he left office and be in the clear.
I suspect as with everything Trump he didn’t realize he could do that and didn’t think he needed to do that because the man loves chaos.

I'm intrigued as to what documents Trump took, and for what purpose. I have to say I find it hard to believe that even he would go so far as to actually commit treason, i.e. sell secrets to Putin or others.

Seems more in-character that he'd take stuff that included information he thought he could use to gain some commercial advantage in his businesses. Or, perhaps even more likely, that he took the stuff out of pure sense-of-entitlement, with no particular scheme in mind, just not even comprehending the idea that he's not supposed to have this stuff now he's no longer President.

To be honest, I hope it turns out to be something worse than that. As I understand it, to merit serious legal penalties it has to be proven that he broke this law deliberately?

Imagine the tax rate in this new southern utopia if they didn't have those states propping them up.

I won't be shocked at anything that comes out, Trump's a slimy crook so nothing would surprise me. And as far as his kult followers, they'll chalk it up to fake news and/or the FBI planted shit to frame him. So basically in their eyes, Trump will still be innocent and still their pick for 2024. And the few MAGA's who realize shit is legit will just deflect by bringing up Hunter Biden & Hillary.

I can see it now, the documents have evidence Trump was selling secret info to Putin that could damage the country. And Trumpers just reply with "oh yeah? Well what about Hunter's Laptop!"

A slime all that anyone with eyes and half a brain could see coming before he was elected

His behavior since has just confirmed everything people like me have been saying about this guy

Yet people who voted for him claim Obama was more corrupt. I don’t know whether to just laugh or be concerned for the country

As legit as my White Republican hands that typed them(Just after laying down my AR-15)

I have a suggestion for where you can put that AR-15 tough guy. (be sure to use a dab of KY to avoid brain-injury)

The impression you morons have that anyone who doesn't talk smack all the time is incapable of taking you out are funny.... freaking try ANYTHING when we know your coming and see what happens.

It would be safer for you to stay in moms basement.

Assuming FBI takes the death threats seriously, I'm betting this AR15 troll actually poster online threat to Garland and the judge. So his online privileges going to be revoked soon.

But my comment about more than 1 per second death threats, later segment did confirm there were convicted Jan 6 people. So they got the light cushy sentence. Threatening government official AGAIN won't help
