What don't you understand about the fact that the Justice Dept. won't indict a sitting President. Or maybe you've somehow managed to remain unacquainted with that fact?

You've watched way too many TV shows if you think that's how a criminal prosecution works. Especially when there is so much incriminating evidence to sort through

He's doing better with the American people than Trump was after the same number of days as President. And when Trump was President the world economy was doing very well. It takes a special talent for a President to make himself so disliked in those circumstances https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/?cid=rrpromo

There's a site run by very right wing people called Real Clear Politics. And one of the things they do is track Biden's performance in the polls. Aug 8 was the day Mar a Lago was raided. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

Well, you cared about it just a few comments back. And it shows how reflexively you reply.

Well, it seems clear that MAGA failed in 2020. So, if the media failed, who then succeeded in taking Trump down? And who will be taking the DOJ down? A House committee? A Senate committee?

The opposite of false, actually. "Trump announced on Monday that his palatial Florida residence had been raided early in the morning. Sources told Fox News Digital the search was in connection with materials that Trump took with him from his time as president. Sources also said National Archives and Records Administration referred the case to the Justice Department, which recovered 15 boxes of classified materials from the home." https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-raids-trumps-mar-a-lago-unprecedented-agency-execute-search-warrant-former-president Trump says FBI agents searched his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida Updated August 9, 202210:54 AM ET Former President Donald Trump said on Monday that FBI agents had searched his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in Palm Beach, Fla., and opened his safe. The FBI and Department of Justice declined to comment, although Eric Trump said Monday night that he was told the search was related to the possible mishandling of government secrets the Justice Department is known to be investigating after the National Archives retrieved White House records from Mar-a-Lago. https://www.npr.org/2022/08/08/1116427430/trump-says-fbi-agents-raided-his-mar-a-lago-home-in-florida

A doc dispute? You think it's just because they were pieces of paper with writing on them that makes for all this fuss? It depends on what was written on them. Apart from the fact that Trump's people apparently lied most likely at his behest, which would be obstruction of justice and that he refused to obey a grand jury subpoena, another crime, the fact is that he left the information highly classified documents exposed to possible enemy acquisition. A resort with guest everywhere is hardly a secure place. The Secret Service is there but to guard the President and his family, not to guard documents. People have been jailed for what he did. Why should he get a break?

It's always risky to bring one's alleged relatives and/or their alleged experiences into the conversation. And not worth anything anyway when it comes to demographic issues.

So the non white people who are beating out your kids for jobs actually aren't employed because they are for one reason or another unemployable.? That makes sense. Not. 76% of working age people (16 to 64 year olds) in England, Scotland and Wales were employed in 2019 78% of White people were employed, compared with 66% of people from all other ethnic groups combined the difference in the employment rates between the White ethnic group and all other ethnic groups combined went down by 5 percentage points between 2004 and 2019 https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/work-pay-and-benefits/employment/employment/latest#:~:text=76% of people aged 16,out of all ethnic groups

Probably because she is emblematic of the vacuity and veniality that lies at the heart of the Conservative Party in the UK.

It's the right wing panacea. When an economy is strong, cut taxes. When it's weak cut taxes. This is obviously lunacy. Tax cuts will help those most who need them least. And where is the money going to come from to put the NHS on a firm footing that she claims she's going to do. And her promises on energy are vague. But her appointment of Rees-Mogg is ominous. One of the few bright spots in the UK's energy situation is renewable energy chiefly from wind power. The price of that is capped. Without that cap, electricity prices in the UK would be even higher.

Are you claiming that White Anglo Saxon people in the UK have a higher unemployment rate than other ethnic groups? That they are discriminated against? This would mean that non-whites should have a higher rate of employment than whites? Is that the case? About 14% of the UK's population is non-white. Unfortunately I can only find a breakdown at the level of white, not Anglo-Saxon government workers. What you claim here sounds like self-pitying nonsense, although obviously I don't have a clue as to your actual ethnicity. there were around 445,480 UK civil servants working in the UK and overseas at the end of March 2019 87.3% of civil servants were from the White ethnic group (compared with 85.6% of the working age population in the 2011 Census) 6.6% of civil servants were Asian, 3.4% were Black, 1.8% had Mixed ethnicity, 0.6% were from the Other ethnic group, and 0.3% were from the Chinese ethnic group What you claim here sounds like self-pitying nonsense, although obviously I don't have a clue as to your actual ethnicity.

Sanders is a self-confessed socialist. The Republicans would have been all over him for that. He wouldn't have stood a chance. The issue of Bernie is repeatedly raised by some who claim that they would have voted for or supported Sanders instead of Trump had Sanders won the nomination. Such fake Sanders supporters are practicing what is called concern trolling. It's a way of pretending that the concern troll is on the side of those whose political opinions they actually loathe. Oddly enough, some of them actually celebrated Trump's appointed of extreme right wing justices who are anathema to everything that Sanders stands for.

What don't you understand about the fact that this all began as an attempt by NARA to get back the unvetted documents that Trump took from the White House. All Trump had to do was was return the documents for NARA to be vetted. Instead, he refused to accede to a grand jury subpoena. His own lawyers had returned some classified documents in January. We know that they recognized them as classified documents because they claimed Trump had no further classified documents in his possession. In a june meeting at Mar a Lago convened only because of another subpoena, Trump's lawyers refused to let government reps open the remaining boxes kept in storage. They subsequently send a letter to the Justice Dept claiming that all classified documents had been returned. We now know this was false. It was out of desperation that NARA called in the FBI.

What you think is a revelation is actually old news. The acting head of NARA asked Biden for permission to disallow claims of executive privilege by Trump. He agreed to that. Other than that no evidence he was involved in the subsequent decisions.

So it's only left us who don't like Johnson? Lots of Tories don't seem to have much use for him either. Stop with the baiting already.

Just to add to that. A federal judge openly castigated Barr for his misrepresentation of the Mueller report.

This was the most minor infraction possible by a line lawyer. A line lawyer is someone at the very bottom of the hierarchical heap. They do not set policy. nor do they lead investigations. The infraction was uncovered by the Inspector General of the Justice Dept who sent all his findings along to John Durham for prosecution. To date, it is the only successful prosecution by Durham.

I misread your original post. Probably because the point iit raised was ridiculous. Why mention Sanders in particular? Was the situation any different for Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, etc.? And there are no laws stopping any of them from running as Independents. What exactly was the point of your observation?

Do you understand how a presidential system works? Is there any country in the world where more than one presidential candidate from a political party runs in a national election? That's what primaries are for.

"The Constitution does not expressly confer upon the Executive Branch any such privilege, but it has been claimed that the privilege derives from the constitutional provision of separation of powers and from a necessary and proper concept respecting the carrying out of the duties of the presidency imposed by the Constitution." What is there in this text that contradicts what I wrote?

But baiting people do.

That may be true in France but in the UK a religious marriage is not in the remit of the government. Only the civil aspect of the marriage is.
