Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Don't go there, but the Fox News site frames it as "Garland has until 3:00 tomorrow to convince Trump to release the warrant." Dang it, he wriggled out of another one!

My guess is that he agrees to release it, but refers to it as the "unwarrant."

um

FBI searched Trump’s home looking for nuclear documents and other items, according to people familiar with the investigation https://t.co/kbfLiO2veE

wait the documents are radioactive?

Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, according to people familiar with the investigation.
Experts in classified information said the unusual search underscores deep concern among government officials about the types of information they thought could be located at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and potentially in danger of falling into the wrong hands.

The people who described some of the material that agents were seeking spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. They did not offer additional details about what type of information the agents were seeking, including whether it involved weapons belonging to the United States or some other nation. Nor did they say if such documents were recovered as part of the search. A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Justice Department and FBI declined to comment.

swear to god, if we tried and failed to get him on so many big things over four years, and him taking home cardboard boxes full of shit out in the open is what does him in....

there were stories about him being super into nukes

its always like that its never the worst thing, tho tbf no one really tried to get him before xp

as much as I'd be excited about Trump being indicted, I probably wouldn't leave my house for a week knowing how his loony-toons base would react

(it should still happen)

maybe he lost a golf game with Putin... pee tape vs. strategic nuclear documentation, winner takes all

Urkel defense is probably all he has going for him

Gee I wonder who might be interested in classified info about US nukes

We’ll see, but this may help explain why some Republicans are staying mum.

It would have been cool if he’d taken a nuke with him

"woke Americans wanting to arrest the President simply because they "don't want to be nuked". the Constitution provides no express protection against being nuked. get over it."

McConnell's silence is most telling of all... all he fucking cares about is regaining majority and that his blackened, bruised hands don't fall off

Pretty sure he gave a fairly muted, non crazy reaction when news of the raid first dropped.

yeah, that's what I mean by silence.. "let's not rush to judgement, let's see how this plays out etc" = silence

That’s what I was getting at, too.

McConnell's a knob but he's a strategist - while this raid might give a bump for Trump himself, it's really not helpful for the Party going into the midterms

Any benefit might go more to trumpist loons in the primaries, who'll be easily picked off in the general, at least in some districts/states

It would have been cool if he’d taken a nuke with him

so i took a little nuke when i left, who cares, its tiny couldnt hurt a fly, i keep it on my desk, its beautiful perfectly made the type of thing thats so wonderful about this country, i show it to kids the little boys they go crazy for it ask me if they can set it off they say they want to be an army man when they grow up, and now the fbi wants to say im doing something wrong

'I mean, why is everyone so secret about nukes? Why so secret? Let's get it out there, they'll show us theirs, we'll show them ours.. we need transparency about nukes, also about lo-flow shower heads, he's a great guy, he said there's no way he'd ever nuke us, not with me in office... now Sleepy Joe, well, I can't say.. can't guarantee we won't be nuked, if you could see...'

Just thinking about that $2,000,000,000 deal Kushner made with the Saudis

there were a lot of Trumpers saying he had the legal right to take whatever he wanted and that he could declassify documents *after* he left office.

almost as if Trumpers don't actually know how government works.

That has created a sense of dog-catches-the-car whiplash for Trump and his team, who now must decide whether to permit the quick release of the search warrant — which may point to specific crimes that are under investigation — and a receipt detailing the items seized by FBI agents during the search..

'dog catches car' is a great metaphor for the GOP's current plight

Unbelievable

hmm, sky's a bit more orange tonight, let me go outside and ch

Not a peep from the Trumpists right now they must be workshopping a really insane excuse

Pins and needles waiting to hear the spin from the right on this

y'know that tweet is a joke right?

though not the fundraising part obv

But the fact it could be real says so much about our society :)

Also how is the Times going to take a neutral, dignified position on this?

Trump Said the Mar-A-Lago Raid Was a Political Hit Job. But Some Disagree.

maybe you can try to understand the New York Times's effect on man

Okay but surely, SURELY, now that we know what he took, the Times will take a clear stand. I'm just gonna go to bed and sleep comfortably, confident that the Times will do the right thing.

shirtless putin with ripped abs: be careful Donald, or you might have to take your next shot...from the bunker

god even I didn't expect it to be something this bad

like ALL THE FUCKING SCANDALS this dude had, all the extensive shit with Russia & randomly leaking classified secrets to them, then extorting Ukraine for Biden dirt, then straight up invoking a gang of insurrectionists to MURDER THE VICE PRESIDENT and somehow, fucking SOMEHOW, this might be the most insane of them all!! didn't he first ask to view this stuff right before his left office? like what is the point of keeping the toppest of top secret NUCLEAR documents IN YOUR HOUSE unless you were willing to sell them to another nation??? is there literally any worse crime against the country you can commit??

..."polls show that 44% believe the FBI planted the evidence, after weeks of tucker carlson blalaldsf;lsdf"

let's be clear: this is not real life. this is ninja gaiden fan fiction

god I just can't process it right now, on top of the five separate felonies he's already being investigated for it looks like he's committed a crime which I think would get you the death penalty everywhere on Earth

I’m lolling right now but I’m also not going to get my hopes up it’s like actual bomb plans. But after the last several years of madness have shown us things that exceed all our imaginations.
