You and owl#’s are the two that come to mind, although I am sure there are others. I plead guilty to being one of the many offenders on this front.

But, after some thought (and you get credit for making me think instead of going with the snark), treating this Mar-a-Lago raid as if it were just another academic question of subpoena compliance and warrant affidavits is a cop out. And I think you know it.

Half the country is already prone to suspicion regarding the deep-state corruption of our D.o.J., and for countless good reasons: Strzok, Page, Comey, McCabe, Yates, Powers, Ohr, Ohr, Clapper, Brennan, Holder, Lynch, Lerner. And on and on and on. For Dipshit Garland to sign off on a warrant to raid the former president’s home goes well beyond a “well, on the one hand” chin-scratching statement. You are smart enough to know that.

So why the cop out? You seem to honestly care about these points, yet sit mute while America-hating morons like TigerCity cheer that some poor wretch has just blown himself up in D.C.

There’s more than enough stupidity on the right. The thing is that plenty of us are calling it out when we see it - - and getting the expected blowback when we do. Maybe I am being unfair, but I see none of that on the left. Not on this forum. And not in the real world.

AM, you are spot on. This raid wasn’t about those classified documents. They could have easily had negotiations and went back and forth until they were retrieved. This was about their blatant show of force. This is about the two tiered Judicial System the Oligarchs have set forth.

They have treated the rioters aka American citizens as prisoners of war. Political pawns being held at their discretion. Due process and Constitutional rights are nothing more than a parchment for them to wipe their feet upon. It’s disgusting that a person did as little as trespassing and taking selfies is imprisoned.

No one who challenges their status will be dealt with fairly. We are seeing our Democracy die before our eyes. We the people are being played by dividing us along ideological issues to gain full authoritarian control.

As the decrepit fossil Prez said himself we have nukes if you want to take us on.
