It's gonna be unbelievably dystopian if this guy weasels his way back into office. No policy other than unhinged vengeance.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He will declare war on all liberals and his sole purpose will be to cause pain.
I’m really tired of this shit.
So say we all
so... they secured the classified material....? did I read that right?
It's been reported that some employees helped carry similar boxes into a plane just days before the FBI (?) executed their search warrant. Meaning, there is likely more classified material in other properties owned by Trump.
I guarantee it went to his golf course in Scotland and from there?....who knows. Pick a country that hates the US.
Pick a country that funds trumps.
The venn diagram of both is basically the same circle.
It'd be easier to list countries that don't
Jack doesn't seem to me the type of fella that would be tremendously impressed by this.
Remember when Trump disrupted another prosecution because some of the prosecutors had sex? Expect a full-bore media frenzy over this.
That's not going to work, Donny.
... the prosecutor's team said some evidence in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case are no longer in their "original, intact" form.
... federal prosecutors wrote in court filings that there are some boxes where the "order of items within that box is not the same" as they appear in digital scans of materials in the wake of the FBI ...
"For example, the boxes contain items smaller than standard paper such as index cards, books, and stationary, which shift easily when the boxes are carried, especially because many of the boxes are not full," Smith's team wrote.
Of course, not enough information from Newsweek to understand what has supposedly moved or what the actual complaint is - but all of Donald Trump’s ranting accusations are quoted in full and without comment.
Plenty of information was given:
In their court filings, the federal prosecutors suggested "several possible examples" why some of the materials in questions may no longer be in their original sequence as when FBI agents retrieved them from Mar-a-Lago, including the "size and shape of certain items in the boxes" possibly leading to them moving around.
"For example, the boxes contain items smaller than standard paper such as index cards, books, and stationary, which shift easily when the boxes are carried, especially because many of the boxes are not full," Smith's team wrote.
The filings add that precisely where the classified materials were stored in the boxes at Mar-a-Lago does not affect the criminal case "in any way," nor give Nauta a reason to delay proceedings
Maybe you missed these paragraphs?
His entire argument is based on the fact that some papers in a box might have shifted around a bit? Not that they're not there, but that they're just a little jumbled from transport?
YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT! Why? BECAUSE INTS IN READABLY DAMNING TO MY CASE!!
It's weird that he's claiming the boxes of national secrets are his personal documents he's allowed to have (untrue) and also that it's a "box hoax?" What part could possibly be a hoax, if he's agreeing that he had the documents?
Flailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
