And I'm all out of bubblegum.
He owns their base. Any Republican who goes against Trump is essentially immediately unelectable. Liz Cheney was a rising star in the GOP, she easily won the primary and then the election in 2020. Then she went against Trump, and now she's going to be crushed in her primary for 2022, to someone she outspent by some margin. I'm not sure there's a single Republican who has gone against Trump in that way and who hasn't either retired (or announced it) or been defeated in the primaries.

Well their argument is that the President can declassify whatever he likes by just saying "I hereby declassify this" out loud or something. Not convinced that is going to hold up, you'd imagine there is some sort of formally recognised process that needs to be gone through, not just saying a magic declassifying spell.
It worked for Dorothy. She got back to Kansas. QED

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard filled in as guest host for Tucker Carlson on Fox News Friday, and across two segments warned about the “weaponization” of law enforcement in the United States, as well as the “hallmarks of dictatorship” she said are apparent under President Joe Biden‘s administration.
Jan 6th = peaceful protest

Federal Government using a warrant to retrieve classified documents = Hallmark of dictatorship

  • The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
  • The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

Highest incarceration rate in the world by far but utterly incapable of getting this blatant multiple poly-illegal, pan-illegal, serial criminal anywhere near a jail cell.

Will this finally be enough? Or wait - it will be again his LAWYER going to jail, not him? :houllier:

He's the Casemiro of public life.

Forgot Cohen did jail time for Trump paying off a hooker with campaign funds, its bonkers the amount of stuff this guy has got away with.

The irony.
That guy with a hat and in overalls waving a confederate flag in the last pic, right next to a sign that says arrest all traitors, is priceless.

Is it wrong to hope the answer to this is: "None. Absolutely nothing."

I would be fuming if he somehow escapes the country because there are no measures to counter any attempt, not even having F-16s on the ready for intercept.

There is just something that is always fascinating when we bring legendary broadcasters and journalists like Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Bob Woodward, Chris Wallace, Bernard Shaw and so on to speak about recent events such as the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago. This time, Sam Donaldson gave his own view of the thing.
