    if the MAGA mindless drones stopped all the talk and actually went through with a Civil War, they would be easily dealt with…then maybe the cult will finally wake up

    You and I see it ... but I would be very surprised if the MAGA mindless drones do. At least, a good lot of them are serving sentences for their misbehavior on January 6th.

    Ok. Trump is now trying to form a sleeper cell inside of the FBI who planted fake documents at Mar-a-Lago that, even though they weren’t his, he wants back.


    Got it.

    The Biden laptop burial story is a story worthy of dissection. Trump isn't a reasonable voice on the matter though.

    He wants absolute power - and that's what makes him worse than Trump. He sees Gov't as an extension of himself. Criticize a program, and he uses that power to silence his enemies. Our democracy has been weakened by Trump. DeSantis will continue that effort. He doesn't respect the constitution or see himself has having a duty to the country. I've seen how he operates here in Florida the past few years - he'll continue the culture wars and that will be the main crux of his presidency.

    Feeding the mad crowd, prepping them up, and pre-justifying political violence in an attempt to achieve a political aim (aka threat of terrorism). Senator Graham is not a stupid person. He knows what he is doing. The political aim here is for Trump to be above the laws.

    The US will be much worst off if it allows a leading member of a political party to paint a threat of political violence to stop it from legally holding a former POTUS accountable.

    ps. I doubt there would be widespread riots

    It’s unrelated to his investigation.

    Correct. He's just ranting and throwing crap out there to stir people up. That doesn't mean it's not an interesting story to discuss though.

    Eh I’d consider voting for Desantis over Biden if he ran again. Mainly because it might kill off the MAGA crowd.

    that’s a maybe, I’m pro-business, and he likes to **** on businesses left and right.

    Yea. I’d be voting for a candidate I completely disagree with, but I’d be doing to it to hopefully make the right less crazy and stupid.

    Im also big into the environment and the **** Florida is doing to protected lands is disgusting.

    Didn’t the FBI help Trump win in 2016 with Hillary’s emails?

    They’re still talking about Hunter Biden? Seriously?

    I don't care bout Hunter Biden. The story isn't Hunter being a loser, the story is what the media has now admitted which is that they had a story they knew would hurt Joe Biden and they buried it/delayed it/slow walked it/etc.

    Uhhh... The New York Times had a guy specifically assigned to it and was in the media about it. I take Ted Cruz at his word that he believe the Hunter Biden story didn't move a single voter. So with little public interest except for the nuts on the right, it didn't get much coverage cause it had no bearing on the election. Even then, is FoxNews not a mainstream media outlet??... They covered the story ad nauseum.

    It's a classic prodigal son story. Hunter is a F up. Joe Biden is his father and still despite being a F-up, loves him like the Bible says he should. Joe Biden had no story because Joe Biden made his tax returns public, and proved that he's not a crook himself. It's just that his son is a screw up, and if he gets charged with something he gets charged with something, and I doubt anyone will care.

    So that's pretty much it. It's crazy how a presidential candidate releasing their tax returns just puts so much to bed. If Trump had been able to prove he had no financial ties to the Russians, Saudi's etc. by being transparent maybe things would have been different for him like they were for Joe Biden.

    100 % this. It's a real problem, and I am surprised it is not being discussed more. Zuckerberg flat out said they did it, per direction/request of the government. I see this as a huge 1st amendment problem.

    Remember when Trump said in 2020 that Obama and Biden had committed 1 of the biggest scandals in history, and all would be revealed soon? It’s almost 2023, but I’m sure it will all come out any day now

    literally just throwing sh*t at the wall every single time
