How long will Trump's post-FBI raid Republican
rally last?

Original Article

Posted By: Happy Place USA, 8/12/2022 8:18:16 AM

Former President Donald Trump has once again done the improbable: He has turned a possible federal criminal investigation into a political positive. In the days since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, Trump has rallied the Republican Party behind him to a degree not seen since he was in the White House, once again sucking all the oxygen out of the room for other Republicans who might want to run for president in 2024 or are on the ballot in other races this year. The big question is whether Trump can sustain this momentum as more information about the FBI search is made public, including what exactly the bureau was looking for,

Comments:

Ultimately it's going to come down to one thing: What did the FBI find in the raid. If all they've got is minor stuff, then Trump will ride this into 2024 and beyond.

If all the FBI gets is Jan 6th level of "evidence", Trump's train will keep rolling. If Trump really left the security video running (unknown to the FBI) and caught the FBI doing illegal/perverted things - forever.

What about the possibility of “planting evidence?” Why did they want the security cameras shut off? Why didn’t they allow Trump’s lawyer to be present? Lots of unanswered questions……

After Garland pounded his chest about the honor and integrity of the FBI, they then leaked the raid was about nuclear secrets and fear he would pass them on to the Russians or China or some other enemy. Absurd on the face of it as, unlike Obama and Biden, Trump stood against these enemies and fought Iran from getting the bomb. Further, he's had the secrets for 18 months, but now it is an emergency? Finally, national security will be the excuse to redact most of the info on the warrant. Trump wants all the documents taken to be released to the public; "transparent" FBI won't do it and the Obama-supporting, Epstein-linked, Trump-hating judge will back the FBI. They want to drag this out forever. Using the process to damage Trump is the goal; truth is irrelevant Deranged democrats and establishment never-Trumpers will buy this ridiculous claim. The question becomes - after Russiagate, Ukraine phone call, lunging for the steering wheel, etc. - will normal Americans be angry at and frightened enough of our corrupted government to vote for change

I think this is an early 'October surprise.' They saw his people winning on Tuesday, and decided they can't wait until October. Eric Trump said more money has been raised since the raid than ever before. The Trump Train will stay on track.

I don't really give a good damn what the FBI was looking for. They invaded the home of a former President. Something that has never been done before. They have set a precedent, and Dr. Jill had better go home and start cleaning up for when the real FBI invades their Delaware home looking for evidence of his and Hunters relationship.

The writer assumes that the fraud from the 2020 election has gone away from Trump voters. The writer assumes that the constant demonization of Trump and every Republican voter who supports Trump has a short memory. Plus, the writer assumes that the daily attempts of the Biteme crowd to destroy the U.S. economy, the Constitution, and the reputation of the country isn't reason enough to want this clown show gone. Add this newest attempt to demonize Trump as just one more reason to get rid of the scum in D.C.

The first step in this is to put FPDT's reputation in question, so you get a legal-like search warrant signed by a magistrate judge to rifle his closet and pry open a safe. The next step is to accuse/indict him for whatever is convenient, likely some tax charges or similar. Legal actions drain funds, keep the hot water simmering, and pundits punditing. Toss out a few "scandals" along the way. Like LBJ once famously said regarding a ridiculous claim against an opponent, "I just want him to deny it." The hope is there is a point where "fatigue" overtakes other considerations. It's not designed to pry the fingers of the hard core Trumpistas, but to soften the grip of "conservatives" in favor of an alternative, and any alternative will do. If you believe the primaries will be rigged, FPDT will not win the nomination, likely amid rancor and charges. I will be surprised if, by the '24 elections, FPDT isn't featured in a televised FBI perp walk for some manufactured "criminal" reason. It's cheaper than rigging elections. He's not going to be allowed back.

End Trump raid secrecy 7 replies

END TRUMP RAID SECRECY. There's a line at the end of an Axios newsletter that sums up everything that is wrong about media coverage and public discussion of the FBI's unprecedented raid on the home of former President Donald Trump. "These investigations are top secret," Axios's Mike Allen wrote. "So more likely than not, we won't get the full picture any time soon." The bad word is secret. Excessive secrecy gave rise to wild, absolutely crazy speculation during the years of the Trump-Russia "collusion" investigation. Little bits of information would leak, upon which journalists and other talking heads would build elaborate structures of speculation.

There are factions of conservative Republicans who are steadfast in their opposition to Donald Trump, and accordingly, they approve of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and her efforts opposing the former president. ‘Never-Trumpers,’ they’re sometimes called. There aren’t many, but you may indeed know a few. Trump is a narcissist, and Liz is just standing up to him, they’ll tell us. Trump attacked our democracy on January 6th, and Cheney is protecting our country, they’ll insist. Liz is the one who’s an authentic Republican, not a Johnny-come-lately like Mr. Trump, they’ll say. But Liz Cheney has now lifted the veil. She’s not some principled, well-intentioned conservative

Taiwan has issued a chilling assessment of China's explosive military tests held around the island this week. Taiwan said Saturday that China’s military drills appear to simulate an attack on the self-ruled island, after multiple Chinese warships and aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan’s armed forces issued an alert, dispatched air and naval patrols around the island, and activated land-based missile systems in response to the Chinese exercises, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said. The island's leadership also announced it detected four unmanned aerial vehicles flying in the vicinity of the offshore county of Kinmen on Friday night and fired warning flares in response.  CORRECTION*

Friends and family arrived for a graduation in May at the University of Denver. We forgot to warn them. Once a cosmopolitan utopia of clean, safe, family-friendly neighborhoods and parks, Denver now looks and feels like a drug orgy. The stench of marijuana wafts through neighborhoods where a small percentage of family dwellings have transitioned into pot farms. Walking through much of Denver and other Colorado cities, one becomes accustomed to stepping over and around growing numbers of full-time drug users living on sidewalks, parks, medians, and lawns. The broad-based degradation started when voters approved Amendment 64 in 2012,

Bruce Springsteen has been a wealthy man for a very long time. In 1973 he released his second album, The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle which featured the classic song, Rosalita. Toward the end of the song’s tale about budding romance and the reluctance of a young woman’s father to accept her suitor, Springsteen explains, “And the record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance!” We bet they did Bruce. Just two years later, Springsteen burst into superstardom in 1975 with his blockbuster album Born to Run, which resulted in him being one of the first entertainers ever to be featured on

The Republican National Committee will stop covering former President Donald Trump's legal bills if he announces a presidential bid for 2024 too soon, according to reports. The RNC has paid almost $2 million in legal fees for the former president as he faces different investigations into his financial dealings and conduct during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a committee official told ABC News. However, those payments will end soon after Trump announces a reelection bid because of the RNC’s policies on maintaining neutrality in elections — meaning if the former president announces a bid too soon, the RNC could stop contributing to his legal costs.

There is a multitude of remedies for digging an economy out of a recession or avoiding an economic recession altogether. There tends to be, however, a common thread amongst each of these methods. Since conditions that drive a recession typically emerge over long periods of time, it generally takes a comparable amount of time for our government officials and the Federal Reserve to correct our collective course. If our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is lagging due to certain contributors, for instance, an injection of cash into the economy via government spending can jump-start our economy and push GDP growth back to the positive side of the ledger.

Delaware State Police considered Hunter Biden the victim in an October 2018 incident in which his handgun was discarded in a grocery store trashcan near a Delaware high school, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation into the incident. No arrests were made as a result of the incident because Hunter declined to press charges against his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, the source said. Hallie, who was in a tumultuous relationship with Hunter at the time, took Hunter's gun from his car on Oct. 23, 2018, wrapped it in a shopping bag, and threw it in a trashcan outside a

One thing we must give Democrats credit for is their unity. Yes, certain members of the party such as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) will occasionally diverge from the party line and oppose particularly radical pieces of legislation, but when it comes to big moments and key votes – on impeachment, for instance – Democrats circle the wagons. Contrarily, Republicans tend to fracture at the most inopportune moments, which is why it was refreshing to see virtual unanimity amongst the GOP after Monday’s outrageous raid on former President Donald Trump’s residence Mar-a-Lago. Almost all notable Republicans supported Trump after the ordeal; all except for one.

The conservative outlet published a leaked version of the search warrant that allowed the FBI to execute the raid hours before the document was unsealed Friday evening. Breitbart released a version of the warrant that included the names of the FBI special agent and supervisor agent who signed off on the receipts detailing the documents taken from the Mar-a-Lago residence — prompting widespread criticism that the outlet put a target on the agents.

It is helpful to think of political developments as moves on the chessboard made to advance an objective. In chess, the objective is to win the game, chess being zero-sum. Politics is like that, too, though participants often claim it's not, that they're acting for the greater good, principles at the foundation of democracy, motherhood and apple pie and all that — which is true in some cases but never if Democrats are in the game. This brings me to Attorney General Garland's claim that the Mar-a-Lago home invasion wasn't a raid at all.

The post–George Floyd racial reckoning has hit the field of medicine like an earthquake. Medical education, medical research, and standards of competence have been upended by two related hypotheses: that systemic racism is responsible both for racial disparities in the demographics of the medical profession and for racial disparities in health outcomes. Questioning those hypotheses is professionally suicidal. Vast sums of public and private research funding are being redirected from basic science to political projects aimed at dismantling white supremacy. The result will be declining quality of medical care and a curtailment of scientific progress.

The Senate-passed Inflation Reduction Act is expected to have almost zero impact on inflation, according to a new analysis. A University of Pennsylvania Penn Wharton analysis released Friday revealed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 would do little to reduce the annual rate of inflation in the midst of the economic recession. The bill would only reduce annual inflation by 0.1 percentage point over the next five years. The study estimated that the small inflation reduction would begin only "once major deficit-reducing provisions of the legislation are fully implemented, but the Act would have no measurable impact on inflation after 2028.

The company was founded only ten short years ago in New York City, the brainchild of five ambitious and daring young entrepreneurs who were looking to reimagine ways for people to stay physically fit. They were a hybrid of traditional technology and a modern fitness company, and they jumped out to an exceptionally quick start. By the time the COVID pandemic took hold in March 2020 and changed the world forever, Peloton was poised to reap the rewards of a brilliant idea and impeccable timing.
