W. Niederhut Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I don't know about everyone else, but I am deeply concerned about the response to the Mar-a-Lago raid in the right wing media and Trump cult during the past 24 hours. There is, evidently, a lot of denial, disinformation, and rage out there, which is being aggressively promoted by Fox News. Rather than talking about Trump's misconduct and possible crimes, they're blaming Biden and law enforcement. Many Republicans, including House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, are threatening to retaliate against Merrick Garland and members of Congress for investigating Trump's crimes. We even have a number of prominent media pundits, including Steve Bannon, Jesse Waters and Newt Gingrich, claiming that the FBI may have "planted evidence" at Mar-a-Lago! It's nuts. Denial on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Cole Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Re Mar-a-Lago: I wish the National Archives had shown such vigor in finding and preserving JFKA records. From what I read, from Malcom Blunt and John Newman, National Archives records are prone to grow legs and disappear. Didn't anybody ever tell Trump about paper shredders? What is all this toilet stuff? Why are Donks sticking their noses down toilets? Toiletgate! Great (Grate?) political theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, will some accuse the WaPo of being part of the right-wing jihad against America? Or...might there be valid and different points of view on public events?

The WaPo published his viewpoint. Have you some thoughts on the content of his op-ed, or is condemning the messenger the only retort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the Washington Post every day, and I always do a double take when I see the titles of his absurd op eds. If Thiessen is indignant about things that are "unprecedented" he should focus on Trump's crimes, not their investigation. Edited August 10, 2022 by W.

Benjamin Cole Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Opinion Noah Feldman--Bloomberg Three Major Takeaways From the FBI Search on Trump’s Home Don’t assume that executing a search warrant means the federal government will prosecute the former president. Getting a conviction would seem to be very tricky. ---30--- Well, insta-analysis everywhere, so who knows? But..the DoJ has painted itself into a corner, no? If they do not prosecute, then why a heavily-armed 30-officer raid on Trump's home? So, the DoJ must prosecute? Stay tuned for more political theater. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving. Interesting idea that Biden was clueless that the raid was happening. So...who is running the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
