  1. They didn’t need to since the controversy was over emails which can be obtained without physically entering the home. Additionally, instead of stonewalling for months, she provided the requested documents when subpoenaed. So, on the one hand, you have digital evidence and a person of interest who is responsive to subpoenas and on the other, it’s physical papers and a client who fights the subpoenas. It’s not surprising at all that a search warrant would be authorized.
  2. He’s apparently using Bannon and Navarro’s lawyers. I guess no good lawyers would take his call…
  3. This is completely unhinged and divorced from reality. Hillary was investigated by the FBI and it severely damaged her campaign. Then, after the case had been closed, it was publicly re-opened just before the election. And you are claiming both that this never happened and that it had no impact on the election? Log off and go touch some grass. That’s completely unbelievable.
  4. Are you forgetting when the head of the FBI publicly announced just before the 2016 election that they were re-opening an investigation into Hillary’s emails? A statement that both broke FBI protocol and may have thrown the election to Trump?
  5. From what we know, this search warrant was in relation to the classified documents Trump illegally had at Mar A Lago. If going after that is upsetting to someone, then I can only assume that they had no problem with Hillary’s emails.
  6. He’s nothing if not a petulant little child.
  7. Didn’t realize Bingobongo was a big fan of Hillary having classified emails on her personal server. Huh. That’s weird.
  8. Shh… you can’t be bringing facts into this conversation! Besides, even if it is a Trump appointee, or Trump employee, or someone who relies on Trump for their livelihood, the second they remove their tongue from his ass, they are re-classified as a deep state RINO liberal.
  9. Ok. What are “they” doing? And specifically, who are “they”?
  10. The only people talking civil war are on the right. Nobody wants a civil war but some people just can’t stop talking about it for some reason.
  11. No. It has nothing to do with that. This is obvious to anybody with a brain.
  12. Literally read the words from Trump’s statement. He whines like a toddler who didn’t get dessert. And screw this banana republic crap. Trump took classified documents from the White House and refused to return them for months. This search is in relation to that. Anyone who values law and order and/or was upset over Hillary’s emails should be ok with this. Unless it’s really all about partisanship.
  13. Before we play the classic PPP “jump to conclusions” game, it looks like this is neither some end of law and order nor is it “the big one” that’s finally getting Trump for the election crap. This appears to be in relation to the 15 boxes of documents he took from the White House and refused to return for months. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/08/us/politics/trump-fbi-mar-a-lago.html I am sure that everyone who was upset about Hillary’s emails welcomes this enforcement of the rules around handling of classified materials.
  14. LOL. Have we ever had such a whiny little B word for a president before?
  15. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/05/does-the-inflation-reduction-act-violate-bidens-400000-tax-pledge.html Just in case anyone believes the lie that the Inflation Reduction Act raises taxes on people making less than $400,000: "The White House has used $400,000 as a rough dividing line for the wealthy relative to middle and lower earners. That income threshold equates to about the top 1% to 2% of American taxpayers. The new bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, doesn’t directly raise taxes on households below that line, according to tax experts. In other words, the legislation wouldn’t trigger an increase on taxpayers’ annual tax returns if their income is below $400,000, experts said." However, some are complaining that the other impacts of the law would increase tax burdens on average Americans without raising rates. While there is some truth to that, it is likely that the net effect of the law would more than make up for any increased burden on Americans making less than $400,000: "“The selective presentation by some of the distributional effects of this bill neglects benefits to middle-class families from reducing deficits, from bringing down prescription drug prices and from more affordable energy,” a group of five former Treasury secretaries from both Democratic and Republican administrations wrote Wednesday. The $64 billion of total Affordable Care Act subsidies alone would “be more than enough to counter net tax increases below $400,000 in the JCT study,” according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which also estimates Americans would save $300 billion on costs and premiums for prescription drugs The combined policies would offer a net tax cut for Americans by 2027, the group said." The bottom line is that poor, middle class, and even many wealthy Americans will be better off financially because of this bill.
  16. Hey, if you want to shill for big pharma, you go ahead and do that. Personally, I think that Americans should have access to life saving medicine if they need it.
  17. Really makes it hard to believe the GOP actually is “pro-life” since they oppose policies that help people live.
  18. That may explain why health outcomes are worse in GOP areas than Dem ones. GOP: once you’re born, you can go die for all we care
  19. GOP senators remove $35 cap on insulin from reconciliation bill. They only pretend to be pro-life, but they are very happy to have poor people die.
  20. You may be right, but I don't see her path there. Her brand of not being a conspiracy-believing loon has no home in the modern GOP and she disagrees with Dems on most major policy issues. Does she run in the GOP primary? If so, I can't see her going anywhere. I can't see her running in the Dem primary. Independent? Maybe, but at that point, she's just playing the spoiler and would help re-elect Trump should he run again.
  21. Yeah, I don't get why people are so quick to label something / somebody either all good or all bad without any nuance. Liz Cheney doing the right thing and upholding her oath of office at the expense of her job is definitely admirable. But it doesn't change who she is or the policies she pushes. Same for her dad, who is absolutely an awful person. Glad he's on the right side of this issue, but it doesn't make him a hero. It's possible to appreciate somebody for a particular action or position without having to lionize them as some great hero. Some people are even suggesting Liz should run on a centrist ticket with the Dems. Absolutely ludicrous. Some Very Online Brain happening around the Cheney's.
  22. They will say he’s a RINO. Anyone who doesn’t toe the line is a RINO or somehow a democrat.
