The GQP Thread: I'm even sick of that fuck's number and, anyway, he's gone (for now)

Because they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. Best case scenario for these cretins is to defenestrate Trump, finally, via whatever means necessary, while simultaneously whining about those darn dirty Democrats. If the DOJ takes Trump down alongside an opportunity to piss and moan about socialism or whatever boogieman they're on about this week, then all the better.
 
Donnie pleads the Fifth in his NY State grand jury deposition.

Someone, I can't remember who, once said, "If you're innocent, why are you pleading the Fifth?"

Oh wait, that was Donnie.
 
People who are now saying that Biden is Weaponizing Government Agencies do not learn. They're too fucking stupid to learn. Biden had nothing to do with it. Trump was the one who was all chummy with his AG.

Nothing a Republicans says matters. We know what they are. They should not be quoted. Criminals will say or do anything to hide their crimes.

They made their choice. They no longer count.
 
Plus if you just look at Hawley wrong he runs away like a lizard in the desert. The man literally cried because of a candlelight vigil held near his house...

I dont see why you are so upset Scooby...the only thing this is doing is making sure non-Trumpers vote against the GQP. (or dont vote period) The fact that non-Faux "conservative" media types are saying this is a good thing for Trump is the ultimate proof that this is very bad for him and sycophants. If they think running a campaign on "We hate people, screw the military and fuck the FBI" is going to win them additional support from anyone but their base I have a bridge to sell them in Minneapolis. They fucked around and they are finding out.

When it comes down to it, will he be considered toxic enough though?

The last 7 years have been one giant "Hold my beer" challenge regarding how low GOP voters will go. And each time, they answer the bell with no issue.

They can go as low as they please. You know what is going low with them...their numbers. No pundit that thinks for themselves looks at the trends right now and thinks these tactics are working well for the GQP. Since Dodds they have been cratering. The very "Identity Politics" that usually tanks the Dems is tanking them. Add in that two of the usual strengths of the GOP (Military, Law and Order) are being crapped on by the GOP and they are playing with fire. (even dumber that they admit they are doing it just to screw with the Dems...never say that out loud) All they have to run on is "CRT/Gay Agenda" and "Inflation". Well that platform is working gangbusters so far...they have lost the generic ballot lead they were crushing prior to Dodds which in and of itself means nothing except to show that confidence in them is trending the wrong way.

Trump can get away with certain things because of his cult of personality and the EC making Presidential Elections wonky. When the winner is actually decided by the number of votes though, it is not advisable to tell women they don't count as people, the military can fuck off and die because they are woke assholes and got sick cause they suck, law enforcement is the tool of the evil Democrats and only people we deem worthy should have the right to vote or should hold office. They forgot, the only way to maintain power is to at least make the majority of voters believe they have a choice or power to make change.
 
A sure sign of GOP worry arrived in my mailbox a couple of days ago in the form a flier from the Alaska GOP asking people to “DON’T RANK PELTOLA!”.

If they’re scared of a House candidate in Alaska who has had near zero advertising and almost zero funding I wonder how they feel about actual funded candidates.

FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform from which to grandstand (or to attempt to thwart the raid) would lower the profile of the event, says one of the sources, a senior Justice Department official who is a 30-year veteran of the FBI.

The effort to keep the raid low-key failed: instead, it prompted a furious response from GOP leaders and Trump supporters. "What a spectacular backfire," says the Justice official.

"I know that there is much speculation out there that this is political persecution, but it is really the best and the worst of the bureaucracy in action," the official says. "They wanted to punctuate the fact that this was a routine law enforcement action, stripped of any political overtones, and yet [they] got exactly the opposite."
On Monday at about 10 a.m. EST, two dozen FBI agents and technicians showed up at Donald Trump's Florida home to execute a search warrant to obtain any government-owned documents that might be in the possession of Trump but are required to be delivered to the Archives under the provisions of the 1978 Presidential Records Act. (In response to the Hillary Clinton email scandal, Trump himself signed a law in 2018 that made it a felony to remove and retain classified documents.)
In the past week, the prosecutor in the case and local Assistant U.S. Attorney went to Florida magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart in West Palm Beach to seek approval for the search of Donald Trump's private residence. The affidavit to obtain the search warrant, the intelligence source says, contained abundant and persuasive detail that Trump continued to possess the relevant records in violation of federal law, and that investigators had sufficient information to prove that those records were located at Mar-a-Lago—including the detail that they were contained in a specific safe in a specific room.

"In order for the investigators to convince the Florida judge to approve such an unprecedented raid, the information had to be solid, which the FBI claimed," says the intelligence source.

According to experts familiar with FBI practices, Judge Reinhart reviewed the prosecutor's evidence and asked numerous questions about the sources and the urgency. The judge signed a search warrant allowing the FBI to look for relevant material and the FBI then planned the operation, wanting to conduct the raid while Trump was spending time at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. A Secret Service source who spoke on background said the Secret Service director was given advance warning and was later told the specifics of the raid.

Because the Secret Service is still responsible for protecting the former president, his family, and his property, the FBI had to coordinate with the Secret Service to gain access to the grounds.

The federal judges wanted this to be so air tight the warrant was probably served in a Tupperware bowl.

According to news reports, some 10-15 boxes of documents were removed from the premises. Donald Trump said in a statement that the FBI opened his personal safe as part of their search. Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan, who was present during the multi-hour search, says that the FBI targeted three rooms—a bedroom, an office and a storage room. That suggests that the FBI knew specifically where to look.

FBI director Christopher Wray ultimately gave his go-ahead to conduct the raid, the senior Justice official says. "It really is a case of the Bureau misreading the impact."
