You are all drunk You guys need to try not to think about Trump for a few days in a row to try and get your clarity of thought back Among the GOP, this is absolutely helping Trump. Trump himself sees it as a way to consolidate support. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-raid-rallies-gop-around-trump-overshadows-bidens-policy-wins Quote The FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago could wind up benefiting former President Donald Trump's potential 2024 comeback bid. Political strategists say the Justice Department's action against Trump has solidified Republican support behind the former president — at least for the time being. "I’ve never seen the GOP base this red-hot before, and it’s clearly causing Republicans to rally to his defense," said Andy Surabian, a GOP strategist and former White House official under Trump. "Ironically, all the Democrat-media attacks on Trump, from yesterday's raid to the January 6th Committee hearings, do nothing politically but ensure that Republican voters stay attached to his hip."
August 10, 20224 yr none of us have even seen the search warrant or list of documents that were taken out of moron-a-lego....yet repugs are ready to defend cheeto to the death. facts, be damned!

Do you? Really? No, you dont. And did you miss when Trump was the president for 4 years? What motivation does he have now to sell classified material, or whatever you think is going on here? Wait, you don't think this was already dragged out? You think this was an expedited timeline?
August 10, 20224 yr Just now, we_gotta_believe said: Wait, you don't think this was already dragged out? You think this was an expedited timeline? cheeto got sheet-canned 20 months ago. he had plenty of time to return the classified docs he stole.

DeSantis would walk into the Oval Office at this point, but Trump likely loses again. Trump was losing steam among the GOP, and now they are all rallying to him again. This wasn't politically motivated, and there's a 0.0% chance the Democrats would be smart enough to do this, but this is a massive win for Biden's 2024 reelection. For 2024 I would tend to agree. But it's also a risk I'm loathe to take ... Trump running and losing again could make Jan 6 look like a quaint gathering ... Trump winning? Not sure the nation would survive another Trump presidency.

Theyll rush to the defense of that principle alone, not of Trump himself. This, along with Bidens massive IRS expansion is easy political fodder for literally any GOP candidate without packaging it as a pro-Trump message. 3 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: Wait, you don't think this was already dragged out?

Trump was compelled to make a standard practice a felony? WTF does that even mean? You basically called it jaywalking, and now when presented with proof that Trump was the one that made it a felony, you're trying to say he was compelled to do so because it was a standard practice. And then proceed to make excuses for him after he commits said felony? Do you hear how unbelievably stupid you sound right now?

It was a standard practice for former politicians to retain access to classified material. Trump saw the political attack and went after it. Why we he need to make that a felony if no one ever did it? Thats point #1 The unbelievably stupid ones are you guys. Yet again wrapped up in another pretend scandal. And Trump has been out of office forever yet now it requires an FBI raid? Interesting. Lets see if they charge him with a felony. You think they will?

Also, everyone that is coming to Trump's defense... FoxNews, GOP... They all look like criminals.
