    You can't be serious. You do realize Trump was fact checked and proven wrong on over 30,000 lies just in 4 years, right? You do realize Covid wasn't a hoax right? You do realize Trump didn't win the election right?

    I'd change that 99% to 1% in a heartbeat.

    Oh, and by the way, If you want to see people believing anything with zero proof you should listen to some of those kooks that were interviewed at Trump rallies. It's absolutely hilarious the stuff they believe.

    I now have 14 trolls, bullies, and haters on ignore. Having actual debates and discussions in here gets better every day. I don't mind having debates with people who are genuine. It's the middle school mentality bullying and trolling types I can do without.

    Two points:

    House Republicans had a "Defend Trump" press conference scheduled for today. They cancelled it. We'll see how long it takes them to gin up talking points about how this is no big deal because Democrats do it too and in fact, it's a really good thing because Trump did it to bring down the Deep State. Or something.

    We don't know where the info about the nature of the documents came from. Some of the news stories mention people who were briefed. That could be anyone from inside DOJ and the FBI to other agencies who might be affected if the information was compromised to Congressional folks on the intelligence committees to judges and legal staff involved in the case. Also, don't forget a grand jury subpoena was issued so there are at least a grand jury's worth of people who have an inkling about the case running around out there.

    The fact the Republican old guard/mainline is sitting on their hands a bit here is very telling.

    They're not stupid. They know the risk-reward ratio is way off currently for defending Trump.

    They know he probably dun goofed. They're just waiting to see how badly before they decide whether or not to shill for him over it.

    It's hilarious that Trump is now screaming at DOJ to release the warrant right away when he has a copy and can release it any time he likes, and also said he wouldn't release it yesterday.

    Outrage theater.

    A few more notes:

    It is somewhat amazing how fast we have gone from Trump just being a vanity collector who keeps newspaper clippings and a few presidential seal golf balls to nuclear secrets.

    The Obama stuff has been thoroughly debunked at this point, but I suppose if you think Trump is just too stupid to understand that, go for it I guess. It's a really bad whataboutism.

    Trump bet that DOJ wouldn't have the guts to come after him. He bet they would be afraid of the political ramifications and angering his base. That did not dissuade them.

    Trump saying he wants all the documents released is another gamble. If there is highly classified info in the seized documents, they won't be released in full so Trump can blur the facts and say they are doing him dirty and planting stuff. If that is indeed what happens, it will probably work with some here.

    As to searching Melania's stuff, that's faux pearl-clutching. If only criminals put stuff in obvious places there would be no need to search closets and underwear drawers. However, the nature of a criminal is to hide stuff.

    Good article in The Atlantic today noting that, as President, Trump could declassify some documents, but not all--and his successor could just as easily reclassify the information. However, there are some categories the President does not have the power to declassify, including the identity of spies and nuclear secrets.

    Finally, it should be noted that we don't know if nuclear secret documents were found. We only know through leaks that they were sought. Lot of smoke though.

    Could this FINALLY be the Watergate moment when Repubs turn on Trump?

    Unless he basically gave state secrets to foreign adversaries I'm guessing no.

    Even then there's enough people who cannot be convinced of any wrongdoing no matter the evidence that the Trump turd will never flush.
