Y'all realize that this wouldn't be happening if Trump had just done what he needed to do to get re-elected, right?..... All he had to do was shut that big mouf.

Well, I like to think that we're favored, you know, with the home field advantage and all. This is 3-way scrimmage, right?

Y'all realize that the FBI couldn't have done this without the Secret Service stepping aside, right? Take a bullet for your Fuhrer? I think not.

Trumpers: "We need to investigate Hunter Biden's Laptop!" Also Trumpers: "They're investigating Trump! It's a witchhunt!"

Did he Tweet this? Lol.

And the Democrat controlled Congress will designate the 365th Federal Holiday.

The thing is this... we're completely polarized because both sides have seen their side savaged by the other side over and over. You're upset that Trump's house got raided. Carter got savaged over performance. Reagan had Iran/Contra and dementia. Clinton got investigated over a real estate deal (not convicted) but finally was impeached over lying about an affair with an intern. Then you had the "Little Bushy" show on TV about a sitting president while we were actively fighting a war abroad. Then you get into the way that Republicans 100% dug in to oppose anything presented by Obama, complete with "Michelle's a man" jokes and all of Obama's weaponizing of the IRS/Justice Department... Then you had a President who ran promising to have his opponent thrown into prison if he got elected....which takes us right into Trumps twin impeachments, an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power, now a climate where we all show up and chant "FJB" at football games and ransack former presidents' houses under the "color" of law. It's escalating and we all feel completely justified because "they did ________ to us first!" It's going to keep escalating until something stops it. Civil War? An assassination? A galvanizing fight with an outside force ala 9/11? But something has to give.

Wait... that was just trying to fix the stolen election. You know, the one that was proven to be stolen by the piles and piles of evidence that the Republicans brought forward. Except for the last part. And the first part. Or any part. Because "The Big Steal" was really just "The Big Lie" packaged up and sold to the underinformed voters like the rest of the MAGA merch.

My feeling is that this whole incident is created to distract our outrage from the new 1.3 Trillion dollar tax and spend legislation that was signed into law yesterday. It's horrible timing as far as our current inflationary status, but the Ds are worried that they won't have control of all three branches after the first of the year. You know, "green energy" and the so-called "climate crisis" that has to be dealt with, lol.

I don’t know… I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that Trump did something else that was basically thumbing his nose at the establishment. But wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing was an political hit piece, either. I guess the big difference between me and so many others is that I prefer to withhold judgement until more is known. My “lock him up” wasn’t literal… it’s just a jab at his supporters.

Lock him up! Lock him up! It ain't no fun when the rabbit has the gun, lol.

Livingston’s Dunbar.

Trump did for America what pantyhose did for (insert joke here)

It's comical how this morning all of the Trumpkins are calling for Congress to defund the Justice Department and FBI... Defund the.... where have I heard that before? Listening to the red-hatted fools is like mining for cartoon gold.

Why do you keep saying this when you know it’s an impossibility? Even if they wanted to run together, they can’t win without FLA.

We agree… I don’t want to live in a country where we prosecute former leaders for political reasons. That’s some third-world garbage. Thats why I thought it was extremely dangerous when Trump promised to do it. And those folks in the middle aren’t going to rally to trump over this. They’re all still just tired of the whole mess. The good news is that if the media continues to focus on trump, they’ll have a lot less time to hone in on the rest of the 2024 GOP presidential candidates.

All of y’all were at Trump rallies chanting “Lock her up!!!! Lock her up!!!!” and now you’re all crying like a little girl with a skinned knee. The karma and irony are delicious. Do y’all remember me saying that Trump was gonna spend the rest of his life in courtrooms? I’m just surprised it took this long. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Y’all never figured out that “America First” was just a slogan to entice weak-minded voters (easily identified by their red hats) into electing a guy who was actually all about wanting the power that money can’t buy-the Presidency.

There are a lot of guys that would make a decent President. There aren't nearly as many skirts that could take on that role. Political beliefs aside, Hillary had the best credentials of any female candidate up until now. Still didn't want her as president, though.

I never knew this. You learn something every day, I guess.

They already are... if you processed more than $600 on an app last year (Venmo, Cashapp, Paypay) they're supposed to report those amounts to the IRS now. I know a kid that hustles stereo parts... he literally buys/sells thousands of dollars a year with other kids and most of it goes through apps. He would technically have to itemize his costs of goods sold or face paying taxes on 100% of his revenue. While they might not raise the little guys' tax rate, they'll definitely be looking to make sure that he's paying taxes on his side hustle... no counting the fact that the cost of everything we buy will go up further when they increase taxes on the big guys... they're going to pass their new, bigger tax bills on to us. It's so easy to predict.

Oh, I know… I just enjoy messing with Eagle Fan.

We're not gonna talk about the fact that Newton built public housing and sucked all of the life out Burkeville?

Your statistics are garbage, and I'm disappointed that you can't see that. Trump is a force.... he drives people to the polls. Unfortunately, he drives more of them to vote for the OTHER guy. He's the exact opposite of Mitch Romney, the guy who put everybody to sleep. Nobody felt like they needed to vote Obama to keep Romney out of office-that's how you end up getting re-elected while losing votes like Obama did. And the weak-minded people are the ones who overlook abhorrent behavior because the candidate is "on their side." Trump signed up to play the game (politics). He asked us all to tune in (vote). And after he lost the game he wants to cry about the rules. It's a politics, not show biz. All publicity isn't "good" publicity. And nobody can win without wooing the middle. Except for Joe Biden, of course. Trump drove the middle to Biden by being a clown. Do you know what's a perfect example of insanity? Trying the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. What's gonna happen in 2024? Trump will act like a petulant child and a Democrat will get elected and all of y'all will blame the process. It's a likability contest, not a performance review. So why do you idiots want to keep talking about Trump's performance?

It's also amazing to see the lengths of mental gymnastics one will put themselves through to justify the bad behavior of their Lord and Savior, Donald J. Trump. And that's not funny, it's actually pathetic.

I don't think so... I think that any decent R candidate has a really good shot to beat whoever the Dems put out there EXCEPT for Trump. Desantis doesn't generate the same opposition that Trump does. I think that just about any R except Trump would have beaten Biden in 2020, but I doubt that Biden/Harris would have garnered 70 million votes without Trump on the other side. I also think that Trump losing in the Republican primaries (which I'm not confident anybody can beat Trump in the Republican primaries) would lead to all of the red hats staying home in November and still guaranteeing another democrat win. My opinion is that the day Trump announces his candidacy for 2024 you can book your bets for whoever the D candidate turns out to be. I voted Cruz in the 2016 primary here in Texas.. I held my nose and voted Trump that November. I had a much harder time voting for Trump in 2020 because his behavior was so repulsive-and that's coming for a guy who has never voted Democrat. But that sums up the entire Trump problem in a nutshell... if the guy can't even inspire people who SHOULD be voting for him to do so, what do you think is happening with the undecideds? You know, the only people whose vote really counts?
