    In his Truth Social tirade, Mr Trump slammed the August 2022 at his Florida home and private club.

    “WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ‘Icebox,’ and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.

    What’s he complaining about? Isn’t he the one who said the President can do no wrong?

    The former president, in a typically loud post on his social media platform Truth Social, claimed that FBI agents had been authorized to use ‘deadly force’ during the raid of his Florida property

    Yet another missed opportunity by Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice.

    So what days of the week is it that the FBI aren’t allowed to use deadly force?

      You mean make him more popular with the pro-russian anti-vax Qanut base? Absolutely.

        If you think locking him up would make him more popular, you fundamentally don’t understand Republicans. They value power and hierarchy. They value doing things and getting away with them.

        They are not like Democrats and liberals who value ideas. There are no Republican martyrs. When Nixon resigned, Republicans stopped talking to him.

        Don’t you remember how quiet it was when Biden was elected? Trump couldn’t get on TV anymore. Maybe he would call in to a show or two, but he didn’t have any rallies and nobody interviewed him. When Republicans go to jail nobody supports them, because they value hierarchy.

        The whole point of hierarchy is that you’re untouchable.

          Exactly. As soon as he’s out of sight he’s forgotten about. There won’t be any martyrdom if he goes to jail. They’ll just move on to whoever the angry talking heads stear them towards.

    Honestly, the most shocking thing for me about that search was the fact they’ve never reported finding CSAM anywhere along with the classified docs. I seriously expected no less of him.

    God, I wish that happened.

        Is wishing Hitler had died before he did what he did bad? Trump wants to hurt/kill other people. Him being dead would prevent this. He is not an innocent person and is an immediate threat to many. His death would likely be a positive.

        (There is the issue of him becoming a martyr if he dies the wrong way. This could cause even more issues potentially.)

        I have no sympathy for people of a political party who loathe my and me friend’s entire existences.
        I’m an awful person for other reasons, thank you very much.

          Well you should hate both of the made up parties then. Be smarter and stop using tv talking points. Makes you sound stupid.

              I totally agree but I see it reversed. Trumps policies had the economy going well. He’s a douche. But times were better. They ain’t getting better under Biden. But fuck me. I’ve never voted for a dem or republican. Wrote in Wu Tang last time as a protest. Doesn’t matter either way. I’m in NY so they go blue with or without me. Fuck em all I say but if I had to pick one (I don’t have to and won’t) gotta have Trump just to change up from Biden. It’ll suck but suck less. We need more and better options. People seem to pick based on one issue. I say the economy is the most important thing even though I believe women should have abortions. But step one and then push real reform to the system so we’re not dealing with these dumb choices. I think I’ll write in Donald Duck this time.

                Are you seriously saying you support Project 2025? That shit’s scary.

                  Fuck no. You must have misread what I said or you’re stupid and don’t know what that is. I do. If you think Trump is behind it then you need to turn off the news.
