Kassi Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 Not ESPIONAGE. Motherfucker! omg. Garland making everyone who doubted him eat their words. He said I’ll raise your election inference with SPY charges.

GhostBox Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 now why would he want to keep sensitive information about the president of France. Someone we know he didn’t like. He was going to blackmail or sell this info. No doubt about it
Pikachoo Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 why did the FBI wait until now to search his home? genuinely curious (not a conservative)
ClashAndBurn Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 I mean, still skeptical he sees any actual consequences for any of this. Also, it very well could result in Republican base doubling down in defiance. “So? Would still rather be Russian than a Democrat.” And he could easily win re-election because the electorate doesn’t really care about any of this as much as they do about inflation. Not saying this isn’t the right thing to do, by any means, but we should be wary of the outcome.

ONLY THING THAT MIGHT JUSTIFY THIS IS NUCLEAR CODES......*literally a half-step from nuclear codes*.....radio silence. I'm wary with a baked in cynicism as you know, but I don't.......I don't really know what we do as a country now.

The apparently though they could do it with reduced chance of it blowing up into a political incident. I guess the FBI hasn't been recruiting the best and brightest.

Mainly referring to the big-brain liberals who are, imo, prematurely declaring that everyone who doubted Garland owes him an apology. When... nothing has happened to Trump at all yet.

Everything across the political spectrum I've read has been they knew it'd be a political meltdown but this was the last resort for the absolute worst case scenario.

Two sources to a reporter from Florida Politics broke the story but he couldn't confirm it definitively and then Trump posted about it

Kassi Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 Ms. Pelosi does it again Just a friendly reminder that she’s exactly who progressives say they want. If she were a man, no one would even talk about that guy from Vermont in the same breath as her.
Kassi Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 The answer of course is no. From power moves like ending the Iraq war (which bush vetoed), to unpopular packages like the bailouts, controversial laws like the ACA, and giant socialist giveaways like CARES, Pelosi always has her girls in formation. Not everyone is built for this life

Not everyone is built for this life That last tweet also illustrates how spineless The Squad is compared to how committed to the cause that the Freedom Caucus is. They only oppose bills that they know are going to pass anyway, and honestly just serve to give the Democrats cover for not completely passing bills on a unified party line. They're also there to serve as "the villains" while Gottheimer and the moderates don't get nearly the same amount of scrutiny even though they're the ones who actually block Democratic Party priorities from passing when they don't want them.
Kassi Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 Not only did she have Bush in a chokehold, making his party lose 1000s of seats in two consecutive wave elections, but… It’s the way she stood up to Trump and WON.
Vermillion Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 If this is speaking from a place of privilege so be it, but the worst part of DeSantis winning in 2024 isn't going to be the policies. Presuming he brings his campaign team to the White House, it'll be this woman. Who, reminder, is a registered foreign agent for the nation of Georgia. I've followed her for a while and she's sort of the ultimate id for politics as a bloodsport. Like Stephen Miller on crack.
Kassi Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 The fact that Dems have to do MORE than this (which in itself isn’t a guarantee cause people vote more off ~vibes~ than policy) is kind sad. The midterms shouldn’t even be in contentious at this point. And yet… clearly America_Has_A_Problem.mp3
