Now, this is hilarious. "Gaetz's primary opponent suggests he was the informant who sparked FBI's raid on Trump's resort. GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz's Republican primary opponent launched an ad accusing the Florida congressman of possibly being the informant who tipped off the FBI in their raid on Mar-a-Lago last week." The 30 second ad is entitled, "The Informant?" https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mar-a-lago-scandal/ The rest of us can sit back and watch the palace courtiers turn on each other. Steve Thomas

Gil. In all the studies I have looked at examining the BYP, I don't remember anyone looking at the revolver before. Good job. To my untrained eye, they don't look like the same gun. Look at the flaring at the end of the handle. Also, does the revolver peek out from the bottom of the holster? Steve Thomas

- Donald Trump - It’s not theirs, it’s mine’: Trump resisted advisers’ calls to return White House documents by John Bowden 08/16/22 https://news.yahoo.com/not-theirs-mine-trump-resisted-201350073.html Documents, pictures, statues, mementos... Makes me think of Jabba the Hutt. Steve Thomas

The passports issue intrigues me a little. We're the passports thrown in a box of classified documents? Two of the passports were expired. The only valid one was a Diplomatic one. Does a Diplomatic Passport convey Diplomatic immunity? Does Diplomatic immunity protect against your bags from being searched? Did Trump have a quick "go bag" where he could grab a bunch of documents and a passport at the same time? Questions. Questions. Steve Thomas

Trump-loving Arizona secretary of state candidate posted about stockpiling ammo while keeping a 'treason watch list' by Brad Reed Ausust 16, 2022. https://www.rawstory.com/mark-finchem-2657869737/ “Mark Finchem, the Oath Keeper-allied Republican nominee to be Arizona's next secretary of state, made inflammatory social media posts about stockpiling ammunition and keeping a "Treason Watch List."” "On Twitter, he shared conspiracies that multiple ships docked at a Virginia naval station might be a target for a second Pearl Harbor-type attack," CNN reports. "He said Satan ruled the United States and said gun ownership should be mandatory. In one post, he called for the impeachment of Obama, who was then President, for letting his daughter go on vacation in Mexico." Another one of Trump's stable geniuses. Steve Thomas

If there is anything we can do to help, I and my people would be willing to do that.” https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/108828041518355960 Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World! Uh huh. Steve Thomas

If surveillance videos show boxes being moved in and out of the storage room in Mar-a-Lago, some material may have been moved to storage offsite. The FBI may still not have recovered everything Trump took. Steve Thomas

Disbelief as foreign press covers Trump’s classified documents scandal by Bob Brigham https://www.rawstory.com/trump-signals-intel-five-eyes/ “Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States together form "The Five Eyes" — which the UK Defense Journal describes as the "intelligence alliance of the Anglosphere." "The Five Eyes was formally founded in the aftermath of the Second World War, through the multilateral agreement for co-operation in signals intelligence (SIGINT), known as the UKUSA Agreement, on 5 March 1946," UK Defense Journal explained. "Initially, compromising only the UK and the United States, it expanded to also include Canada in 1948 and Australia and New Zealand in 1956, all of these last three English-speaking countries, members of the Commonwealth of Nations and with similar political systems when compared to Britain. Thereby, the ‘Five Eyes’ term was created from the lengthy ‘AUS/CAN/NZ/UK/ Eyes Only’ classification level that included the ‘eyes’ that could have access to high profile papers and information."” They are horrified at the way things were kept down there at Mar-a-Lago. "Hey Russia. Did you know that the British have a spy in the Kremlin? Give me a few bucks and I'll tell you who it is." Steve Thomas

Mar-a-lago surveillance tapes show people carrying boxes in and out of the locked storage room in which they were kept, even after Trump's lawyer signed a letter to the Justice Department in June that there were no classified documents there. I want to know who those people were. Also, Donald Trump is guarded by Secret Service agents. If people were delivering boxes to Trump, those boxes would have to be inspected by the Secret Service to make sure there were no bombs in them. Could one of the SS Agents be the mole that tipped off the FBI? Steve Thomas

Pillaging. That's the word that comes to mind. I don't care if you do think he is the God-King. Whatever documents or pictures or statues or mementos that Donald Trump helped himself to during the four short years that he occupied the Oval Office, didn't belong to him. They belong to the people of the United States. I would also like to know who helped Trump go through all these boxes of documents. He doesn't read, and he sure as hell doesn't understand what he does read, so who was going through all this paperwork to decide what to cart off? I shudder to think it might have been someone like that Stephen Miller guy. Steve Thomas

Kirk, If the U.S. Government were wiretapping foreign leaders, and Trump got a hold of those wiretaps and was blackmailing those leaders (or anyone else for that matter), by dribbling that information out a little bit at a time, he could keep the money flowing for a long time. Steve Thomas

Rob Reiner on Twitter: https://twitter.com/robreiner/status/1557923647779749897 Rob Reiner @robreiner "Crowning a lifetime of Criminality, Donald Trump led an armed mob to overthrow the United States Government then stole America’s nuclear secrets.

It has been reported that the FBI was searching for nuclear weapons documents, but in their search, they found signals intelligence. One example of SIGINT, or signals intelligence, is intercepted phone calls. One possibility, is that Trump stole some intercepted phone calls, and was blackmailing someone with whatever was on those tapes. Trump is now saying that he welcomes the release of the inventory of what the FBI seized. Is he calling Merrick Garland's bluff? Steve Thomas

Merrick Garland and the Justice Department are very smart about how they are playing this. Donald Trump said that any attempt by by the Justice Department anywhere in the country for any reason would produce an uprising that would make January 6th pale in comparison. By picking a topic that will be easily provable, it will take some of the wind out of the Trump supporters' sails, i.e. the theft of classified materials. The government will charge it. Trump will deny it. Documents will be produced that say, "Here it is in black and white." Then, when the government moves to charge him with something more serious later on, some of his supporters will say, "Hmmm, maybe he's not so lily white after all.. Look at how he lied about the documents thing." Steve Thomas

Armed subject attempting to breach Cincinnati FBI office leads to pursuit, police situation CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — https://www.wlwt.com/article/shots-fired-clinton-county-pursuit-suspect-police-shooting/40869695# A pursuit and ongoing police situation in Clinton County has shut down two highways and prompted an area lockdown Thursday. It all started after a potential threat was made at a FBI building in Cincinnati. According to FBI Cincinnati, it started around 9 a.m. when a person showed up to the office in Kenwood and attempted to breach the visitor screening facility. An alarm went on and FBI special agents responded before the subject fled north onto I-71 leading Ohio State Highway Patrol on a pursuit into Clinton County. Clinton County Emergency Management Agency officials said law enforcement has exchanged shots with the male subject who is described as wearing a gray shirt and body armor. The a-hole clowns like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have to stop with their inflammatory rhetoric. These numbskulls that they are talking to can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. Somebody's going to get killed. Steve Thomas

You can trust Donald Trump. He's a man of his word. Under oath, he pledged 440 times that he wouldn't say anything that would incriminate himself. And he didn't. So there. Steve Thomas

https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy73pk/fbi-warrant-judge-reinhart-doxxed "Far-right extremists on pro-Donald Trump message boards and social networks are making violent, antisemitic threats against the judge who reportedly signed the warrant that allowed the FBI to search the former president's Mar-a-Lago property in Florida. Multiple members of these toxic online communities are even posting what appears to be Judge Bruce Reinhart’s home address, phone numbers, and names of his family members alongside threats of extreme violence. “This is the piece of dooky judge who approved FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago,” a user wrote on the pro-Trump message board formerly known as TheDonald. “I see a rope around his neck.” Responding, another user wrote: “Idgaf [I don’t give a xxxx] anymore. Name? Address? Put that dooky all up on here.” Moments later, a different member replied with what appears to be Reinhart’s current address, phone numbers, previous addresses, and names of possible relatives." Let's find out if he has children... where they go to school, where they live... EVERYTHING,” one person wrote on a message board where the judge’s address was posted." Steve Thomas

Donald Trump and his allies are now saying that the FBI planted the evidence that they took from Mar-A-Lago. That's why they made everyone leave while they conducted their search. They didn't want anyone to see what they were planting. "Backpacks" full of stuff, according to Fox News. One of Trump's lawyers even said that there was nothing there to find in the first place. At the same time, mistrust and paranoia is running rampant in Trumpworld as they try to find the dirty rat who snitched and ratted them out to the FBI. It seems like those two thoughts are mutually exclusive, but hey, who am I to judge? Steve Thomas

“This is their message”: Trump and GOP immediately rush to fundraise off FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago Republicans wasted no time trying to turn their performative outrage into solicitations for donor cash By Igor Derysh 8/9/22 https://www.salon.com/2022/08/09/this-is-their-message-and-immediately-rush-to-fundraise-off-fbi-raid-on-mar-a-lago “Trump's Save America PAC sent out a fundraising text on Tuesday morning. "It's time for EVERY PATRIOT to step up and stand against the Left's reckless WITCH HUNTS and political persecution of President Trump!" the landing page soliciting donations says. "Please rush in a donation IMMEDIATELY to publicly stand with President Trump against this NEVERENDING WITCH HUNT!" The Republican National Committee wasted no time Monday night using the raid to solicit donations, sending out a text linking to their WinRed page. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL: UNPRECEDENTED move Biden's FBI RAIDS Pres. Trump's home. Time to take back Congress," the text said. "Never has there been a more important time to take back our country and STAND FOR FREEDOM," the landing page says. "We're counting on YOU!

Revisiting the preacher who used Christianity to revive the Ku Klux Klan By DeNeen L. Brown | April 10, 2018 The Salt Lake City Tribune https://www.sltrib.com/news/nation-world/2018/04/10/revisiting-the-preacher-who-used-christianity-to-revive-the-ku-klux-klan/ “It was approaching midnight on Oct. 16, 1915, when Methodist preacher William Joseph Simmons and at least 15 other men climbed Stone Mountain in Georgia. They built an altar, set fire to a cross, took an oath of allegiance to the “Invisible Empire” and announced the revival of the Ku Klux Klan. Beneath a makeshift altar glowing in the flickering flames of the burning cross, they laid a U.S. flag, a sword and a Holy Bible. Restricting membership to white Christians, the Klan wore white robes to symbolize “purity,” burned crosses to signify “the Light of Christ” and picked selective scriptures from the Bible to preach white supremacy. The Invisible Empire’s comeback was aided by Hollywood’s first blockbuster, D.W. Griffith’s “The Birth of a Nation,” which glamorized the Klan. Simmons believed Christianity supported white supremacy, Kelly J. Baker, author of the book, “The Gospel According to the Klan,” said in an interview. “He and other Klan leaders would look to Christianity to find support for racism. Even liberal Protestant churches supported white supremacy. That seemed the natural order of things. Just as people used biblical texts to support slavery.” “Hate in God’s Name,” a 2017 report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, says that white supremacist groups often invoke scripture from the Old and New Testament. “This is particularly applicable to Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members,” the report says, “Christian Identity adherents and some neo-Nazis. White supremacists believe mainstream religions, including Christian denominations and their institutions, have fallen astray from God and are under the control and influence of Satan. As a result, white supremacists interpret scriptures and spiritual parables through the lens of racial discrimination and hate. In this way, they can justify their beliefs (which are vile and deplorable) as good, moral and responsible.”” Welcome to Christian nationalism. Steve Thomas
