Lisa Benson for August 10, 2022

Yeah, because what could be better than a campaign for the most crooked president* in American history?

Don’t worry those donkeys will lie cheating still anything to get their way

As long as he only campaigns among dedicated Trumpist non-reality oriented people.

“Always look on the bright side of life” (Monty Python)

Turn Mar-a-Lago into a hotel.

It is now official, we live in a Banna Republic. Who do tou rhink those new IRS Agents will be looking at???

How on Earth can multiple criminal investigations including high treason be content for a great campaign add?

Lisa truly lives in the upside-down.

Am I missing something in the analogy attempted here? What bird is it? If they’re ravens/crows, they are very intelligent birds. If they’re vultures, is the suggestion that Trump’s position is a dead or soon to be dead one?

Outside the current GOP bubble … there are the hateful/fearful concepts of equality, choice, fairness, voter’s rights, women’s rights, math, science, education, history, respect, dignity, honor, truth, reality, etc.

The FBI left a detailed index of what was removed from Mar a Lago, and trump has the printed search warrant. If this was political, it is perfectly within his rights to release his copies to the media, so everyone can see what this was all about.

But trump won’t.

All his life, trump has broken the law and gotten away with it because of his father’s money and cowardice to prosecute on the part of authorities. I hope the raid this week points to a change in that attitude.

American eagles are wearing black due to the shame Trump has brought.

President Trump did nothing wrong taking these records with him when he left office. He had them approved by the National Archives who approves what former presidents can take according to this law which Democrats like RAGs ignore. Read it and weep RAGs: https://www.archives.gov/about/laws/former-presidents.html

With this little shenanigan Biden and the FBI pulled raiding Mar-a-Largo they just unified the Trump and the Republican base right in time for the November elections. Maybe we Republicans should say thank you!

….are those crows or vultures?

First they came for the Jews

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left

to speak out for me.

Using Lisa’s reasoning, Watergate should have been a great campaign ad for Nixon. Time’s have changed.

Really? Have America’s values sunk so low.. to where the republicans are depending on voters to give a pass to trump (and his ilk) for very obviously breaking the law?

GOP hysteria over the Mar-a-Lago search is an invitation to violence by Dana Milbank

I would like nothing more than to be wrong about this. But the reckless response by the GOP-Fox News axis to the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago makes it feel as though we’re falling into the abyss.

The threat of political violence from far-right extremists has been growing for years, but calls to arms reached a fever pitch in pro-Trump social media after Monday’s court-ordered search at former president Donald Trump’s Florida compound: “When does the shooting start?” “Summertime was made for killing fields.” “Lock and load.” “Tomorrow is war.” “Pick up arms, people.”

On and on, they ranted: Fox News’s Dan Bongino said, “You do not live in a constitutional republic anymore.” Former Trump administration official Michael Caputo said, “The FBI is the KGB” after the “military-style raid.” Former Trump budget director Russ Vought wanted to “dismantle the FBI into a thousand bits.” Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump said, “This should shake you to your core.” Host Laura Ingraham threatened that “when we get power back, it’s time to hold everyone accountable.”…

These are open invitations to the violent and the unstable to take matters into their own hands.

Hey there,Mr.Trump.We’re from the IRS and we’re here to help you(hang yourself).

Some people are on constant alert against the perceived threat of encroaching right-wing authoritarianism; others are on constant alert against the perceived threat of encroaching left-wing authoritarianism; others choose to just live their lives in peace.

The Biden Maladministration is floating a proposal to combine the DOJ and FBI into one agency under the name “Staatssicherheitsdienst” (aka Stasi), after the State Security Service of East Germany (or DDR, Deutsche Demokratische Republik). The role of the American Stasi will be to spy on and torture/imprison citizens, especially those who object to living with a jackboot on their necks.

Is this how Lisa worships Trump?

Can’t campaign from prison. Most of the charges to come will disqualify Orange Idiot from running for any office ever again. Not that he really wants to, he hated being President nearly as much as the majority of Americans hated having him as President.

He pleaded the fifth, and we all know what he said about those who do that.

Come on “ops”. Tell us it’s “Fake News”.

Garland’s revenge for not being confirmed to the Supreme Court because he is a nut-job.

I wonder how many of the FBI raiders tried on Melania’s clothes while rustling through her closet. Maybe that is why the raiders wanted President Trump’s lawyers out of the home.

People need to stop deluding themselves this is a political situation. It is a criminal law situation first and foremost…and Trump is is manipulating the simple minded into thinking it is political.

Too bad this RW hypothesis is incorrect. DOJ and FBI were involved with this one for sure. Has nothing to do with Democrats or the January 6th committee. The previous president had criminality engagement on so many levels so the density of the investigations are varied and being activated in multiple directions. Saying you are a victim for a weak campaign ad while being investigated on multiple fronts just reveals confirmed involvement.

I guess I’m the only one who reads this as an admission that Trump is dead meat.

Shouldn’t those be chickens coming home to roost?

Magas are posting that all Feds should be assassinated. Republicans must be so proud of themselves.

It will certainly lube up my checkbook.
