CULT? Although used dozens of time daily on any thread to flame supporters of the former President and all he stood for, it does feel disrespectful. Interesting yet unsurprising to see name calling all going one way. The restraint and respect non-democrat supporters and self-confessed neutral posters display in the face of constant hate and abuse is to be commended. It would be all too easy(and justified) to fire back with a well fitting acronym to describe these posters, so well done guys, good to see we don't stoop to their standards of debate.

My previous prediction has come true. No surprises there. Good to see most people know a politicized witch-hunt when they see it, more-so as it is not the first time they accused Trump of crazy stuff without evidence to back it up. 83% of Republicans and 72% of Independents are now more motivated to vote in the 2022 midterm elections as a result of the FBI raid. https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/COSA-FBI-Raid-Motivation-Full-Report-08-10.pdf

" In an interview with DailyMail.com, Eric Trump said that because staff refused to turn off the surveillance cameras at the request of the FBI, the Mar-a-Lago cameras captured agents raiding areas that they weren't authorized to. "There's 30 agents there," he recalled on Wednesday. "They told our lawyer...'You have to leave the property right now. Turn off all security cameras.'" https://www.newsweek.com/eric-trump-says-mar-lago-security-cameras-captured-fbi-acting-improperly-during-raid-1732672 So contrary to the FBI's belief all cameras were turned off, they weren't. So any untoward things the FBI did at Mar a Lago will all be on film. Anything planted will be have been caught. Sounds like another case where the investigation is a far bigger scandal and crime than what was being investigated. No flies on Eric Trump!

OTT hyperbolic rant, flames and unsupported claims ignored. On the money subject, wasn't it President Trump that did not accept his salary but donated it to worthy causes(1)? He was an idealist wanting to make America great again, not a money motivated guy like the current one. Because he largely paid for his campaign himself(2) he hasn't beholden to lobbyists like most Presidents which was extremely triggering for these powerful groups that wielded influence of policy making for decades. I do not know a single supporter of President Donald Trump that feels like they have been made a sucker. Why would they? supporting evidence of claims made. (1)https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/promise/1341/take-no-salary/ ( 2)"Trump has paid for the majority, but not all, of his presidential campaign out of his own pocket. Trump's self-funding accounts for 72 percent of his campaign spending so far ($45.7 million in campaign loans and $63.3 million in expenditures as of May 31). Trump raised the remainder from mostly small donors." https://www.npr.org/2016/07/14/485699964/every-position-donald-trump-has-taken-on-how-he-is-funding-his-campaign

Can we wait until he commits a crime, has a fair trial, and gets sentenced first? I realize that the sheer hatred against Donald Trump is such that most of the left just want him locked up without reason, or just because "they know" he is guilty of unspecified crimes, but without due process just locking him up would be a sign the USA is in fact a banana republic(which some of us realize after this fishing expedition and storming of Trumps home on flimsy excuses). What stands out to me most, is that this visceral hatred of Trump is for such reasons that he cheated Mrs Clinton out of her win because he colluded with Vladimir Putin to cheat in the 2016 election, he got peed on by hookers in a bed that Barack Obama slept in when he was on a Russian trip, he called the military "suckers and losers", he forced his way on to Stormy Daniels, his supporters put a noose around the neck of and sprayed bleach onto a young LGBT black actor, and on and on. Sounds like such a terrible guy. Yet all these reasons for hatred were all hoaxes. All big fat lies ginned up to smear Donald Trump and cause those without well developed critical thinking skills to blindly hate the man. And here we are. Good luck Mr Trump.

I keep seeing Trump's saying Biden is illegitimate referred to as the "big lie". Are you able to explain why when Trump says it, it is a "big lie", yet when Democrats said falsely that the legitimate Republican President is illegitimate it is not criticized, certainly not called a "big lie"? I can not understand the clear double standards at play (that we see over and over and over and over) NB. supporting evidence that both Clinton and Biden called Trump an illegitimate President - the same as he said. https://abcnews.go.com/video/embed?id=66010832 https://www.insider.com/joe-biden-says-he-agrees-trump-is-illegitimate-president-2019-5

No need. That they haven't "perp walked" him for the cameras says it all. Had they uncovered evidence of high crimes they would have paraded him many hours ago. Most persecuted human being alive just had his base energized beyond belief, and any non partisan observers will no doubt feel sympathy for Trump.

I am hoping for a FAR greater crime than some paperwork issue. It sounds as serious as an overdue library book. Unless Trump has been caught comitting a very serious crime like murder, with irrefutable evidence found during this horrific raid on an ex Presidents residence there will be mayhem. Wasn't Biden supposed to be uniting and healing the nation. ? Turning the FBI into political attack dogs to nail the man the dems are terrified of in a fair election is not good optics.

Plus the left's whole Biden has a speech impediment(not on the many 000's of youtube vids of him speaking during the last few decades he didn't) and thus he needs notes telling him where to sit and which journalists to call on for Qs in what order is a total nonsense, and they know it. The dishonesty from his fans is a real turn off. No wonder his polling popularity is in freefall.

Well the FBI will have reviewed the seized haul from Mar a Lago many hours ago, and know whether they are heros who busted an evil ex President caught red handed comitting the crime of the century, or if it was just another hilarious wild goose chase by a discreditted political organization that is starting to look much like the KGB. The silence from the FBI and the MSM is becoming deafening....

Don't suppose the latest video showing Biden's cognitive issues have now led to his inability to put on a jacket will improve his polling? This coming after multiple wipeouts climing a staircase and a slow-mo fall over on his bicycle when coming to a stop. Speach impediments, strong winds and teleprompter malfunctions notwithstanding this is disgraceful and embarrassing. https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/biden-struggles-to-put-jacket-on-requires-jill-to-help-him/video/9c12421cf4d5e45d0a4f9fd2bcc5e610

It's unlikely for the FBI to get a warrant to spy on a Presidential campaign(Trump's). We all know how that turned out. The FBI's credibility over everything Trump is in the toilet. Not expecting anything different this time. The left are terrified of Trump running in 2024 and are now acting in sheer desperation. I saw the photos of supposed "wads" of classified documents flushed down his toilet. It is beyond farcical, like all the other conspiracy theories they use against Trump. If they are trying to provoke a civil war, they are doing a great job.

They will never stop hounding and harassing him. After nearly 6 years of massive interdepartment investigations of every aspect of Trump's life, the multitude of accusations against him of various crimes remain unproven. Must be getting painful for the authorities now, hence this ridiculous move to raid Trump's home. Stand strong Mr Trump. They will have egg on their faces once again.

Ah yes, Donald Trump at Lafayette square, when he forcibly had the wonderful BLM removed so he could stage a photo op. I remember it well. Bad bad Donald Trump. Apart from it was YET MORE fake news and smears against President Trump. The streets were being cleared of the mob anyway, nothing to do with Trump. A watchdog investigated it already and cleared Trump (and squashed the conspiracy theory that this book appears to have bought hook, line and sinker). "U.S. Park Police did not clear Lafayette Park and the nearby area of protesters on June 1, 2020, so President Donald Trump could walk from the White House over to St. John’s Church, but learned of his interest in surveying the site hours after they already had begun planning to clear the area to put up new fencing, according to a new watchdog report." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/police-clear-lafayette-park-area-trump-hold-bible/story?id=78171712 It would appear Milley had a huge overreaction and was badly informed so made the resignation letter which he did not post, rather a none event. Unlike the real, relevant and terrifying sequence of events Milley had a hand in which has left the Taliban in control of Afghanistan and one of the world's best armed militaries.

"Montgomery added: “We’ve actually seen some signs of that illiberalism and authoritarianism on the Trumpist right in their efforts to ban the teaching of racism in schools, in their aggressive attacks against LGBTQ materials and information in schools and libraries, and even their encouragement of harassment and violence that we’ve seen against election officials and school board members." I love the double speak in play here. When he says "their efforts to ban the teaching of racism in schools", I believe he is referring to the disgraceful practise of labelling all white children racist oppressors and all black children victims and not responsible for their actions if they embark on a life of crime. Also known as CRT. When he says "their aggressive attacks against LGBTQ materials and information in schools and libraries" I believe he is referring to the grooming in school issue which competent leaders like DeSantis have outed and brought to the forefront before squashing it like a bug. IMO any teachers grooming any kids in school is a very bad thing. This was dishonestly referred to as the "don't say gay bill" which of course never said or implied the word gay in any sense or form. When he says "their encouragement of harassment and violence that we’ve seen against election officials and school board members" I believe he is referring to anxious parents trying to figure out what the heck i going on in their children's schools and being stonewalled by leftist school boards that think they know better. Just so much wrong, and that's only one paragraph. Great to see Orban, a leader that genuinely cares about his country and his people getting such a warm welcome in the more patriotic areas of the USA.

Can anyone explain the priority and publicity being given to this one particular drug smuggler over the 1,000s of others? I just don't get it. A cynic would say she is to be urgently swapped with merchant of death Victor Bout because she ticks alot of alphabet boxes and is on the correct political side both of which raise her value over normal Americans. Can that really be true?? If not, then why is she special.

As per https://www.foxnews.com/media/house-speaker-nancy-pelosi-husband-paul-dui-trial-rigged-beset-deck-stacking-jesse-watters the judge was removed from the case in favor of a democrat fan judge. Normal folk don't get such treatment. This case highlights the double standards, conflicts of interest(Nancy has some sway over Californias civil service and police), and an unshakeable aura of corruption that Ms Pelosi's world consists of, and her legacy will be tinged by. As the article is covering her "legacy" not any specific event, like this Taiwan ego trip, it is wholly relevant.

Excellent article. An accurate, well researched and thought out piece of work, instead of the usual puff piece propaganda essays we are used to. The author should have included in a footnote about her legacy as an unusually well informed stock trader, and also her husbands recent DUI car crash, foot dragging by authorities over releasing mugshots and info, and Paul's attempt to bribe the arresting officer by giving his police donor card instead of his driving license. An incredibly brazen effort, and disasterous for Pelosi's legacy. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/paul-pelosi-allegedly-slurred-speech-drug-system-handed-police-privilege-card-dui-bust

The former President got Xi to wind his neck in, and kept him on a short leash, so it can be done with competent leadership. Of course the howls of racism and bigotry were deafening, but in those days the notion that China were about to invade Taiwan was a distant thought. I'd recommend going back to the Trump position of severe tariffs and no familial business activity with the CCP or affiliated firms.

You mean kicking the hornets nest was intentional, getting stung was just for fun? I can assure you this vanity trip for Pelosi and co has massively provoked China and put relations at an new all time low. This at a time when the USA under the Biden regime is already a laughing stock after essentially arming the Taliban with $85b of war weaponry, got us in a "proxy" war with Russia, and the world is teetering on a precipice. I do not care what the left wing media is saying. There are zero achievements or gains by this provocative behavior, and so very much is lost. But, at least Pelosi has big face for a day or two.

So after all this, would it be fair to say the extreme emotional reaction to the Supreme court's ruling was completely OTT? The mob trying to hunt down judge Kavanaugh - perhaps going a tad too far? As we now see in practise, states can decide for themselves, exactly as we tried to say a few weeks ago when all shades of pandemonium were breaking loose.

Credit where credit is due, she is doing the right thing in going. To have backed down and openly showed fear of Xi would have been potentially catastrophic. Well done Nancy, next time maybe don't announce sensitive visits beforehand.

False. "The helicopter was seized days before by the Taliban from the Afghanistan Air Force, the outlet reported. Talib Times also shared another clip that it bragged was the “first flight of black hawk,” after the Islamic militant group was earlier filmed making doomed attempts to take flight in one of the US choppers seized when they took power." https://nypost.com/2021/08/31/video-shows-man-hanging-below-black-hawk-flown-by-taliban/

Trump planned to withdraw yet keep a small peacekeeping force there to ensure the chaos that Biden's sudden departure caused did not happen. This is 100% on Biden's head. Your statement is factually incorrect. Trump never planned the incredible display of American weakness and fear that Biden managed, which led to the rise again of AlQuida(the topic of this thread) "He ran out of Afghanistan instead of following the plan our Administration left for him — a plan that protected our people and our property, and ensured the Taliban would never dream of taking our Embassy or providing a base for new attacks against America," he said in a statement. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-blasted-biden-afghanistan-withdrawal-plan-american-troops-taliban-2021-8

I can't help being concerned that Al-Quida could be strengthened by Biden's dumping of an estimated $85 billion worth of weaponry and planes(because abandoning them is cheaper than flying them out)? I would prefer to be attacked by a goatherder with a slingshot than one in an Apache helicopter all guns a-blazin' for sure. I am also concerned that the fears after Biden abandoned Afghanistan in scenes of pure chaos have come true. That Al Quida would be a thing again. During the Trump years radical Islam was basically forgotten about, he dealt with it perfectly. The spectacular attacks on Europe were a thing of the past. Sad to see another Trump success unwound by the current incompetents.
