Trump's Mar-a-Lago Home raided by FBI

[Buelligan]

This seems like a much better version of Serafinowicz's Sassy Trump, in terms of laying bare his pathetic bitchy whininess.

It's a fine line though, there's more than a hint of misogyny about the idea that Trump's evident bitchy whininess can be seen more easily if a woman does it.  I guess it's just the way the world is.

They found loads a few hamturderssters down there as well.

(Down T's toilet)

Even this may be too optimistic, but now that the FBI have actually kicked his door in, I'm wondering if Trump is going to be the sacrificial lamb here - I mean, compared to the people actually running things, he's a clown, and he was useful for a bit, but what purpose can he serve to them now? May as well throw him under the bus, say "look, that's how we deal with fascists round here," then get to work on installing electing President DeSantis to really get things done.

Biden is being transparent as fuck of late.

That'll be the two doses of Covid...

[Ferris]

Nah. Circle the wagons, use it as "proof" that the whole system is against us! Easy PR win, unless something very concrete comes out of this directly, which I doubt because the FBI are useless.

Fake-tan narcissus was flushing documents down the bog while president, why on earth would he keep documents around that were incriminating years after the fact?

It's far more likely he (illegally?) took 15 boxes of documents out of the white house, burned anything incriminating on day one, then leaves the remainder in the boxes (because he's too lazy and incompetent to do anything else). The FBI will get the 15 boxes but find nothing incriminating (thanks, incinerator), and by the time anyone figures out what's missing it's 2025 and he's in office again anyway because our reality is awful.

And here we go: Donnie starts to suggest that the Feds might have planted stuff. *sigh*.

I've been reading somewhere that when Trump endorses a candidate (at almost any level) it really helps them get votes.

[steve98]

They wanted to be left "alone", as they conducted their *ahem* "search", Alone. You understand? alone, No-one watching. This is huge!

It'll be interesting to watch his Tweets(Truths), to see if he starts to betray hints of something heavy-duty he thinks the Feds have found in his safe.  Start getting his defence in early.

Oh, they are absolutely doing that. They can win on both fronts, pretend to be martyrs on Fox News while also using the raid as a reason to fuck over Trump in favour of a much more competent dictator.

[Ferris]

Yeah it's a bit weak to claim anything they find is planted.

You have to be down a real rabbit hole to buy that an entire federal agency has become so politicized in 2 years that they'll start making stuff up about banal document theft just to bring you down.

I suspect only 25% of the populace will follow trump down it, which is terrifying but not enough to win any federal office. Unless someone at the DNC wheels out Hillary again, of course.

[steve98]

He's in NY at the moment, pleading the 5th in his deposition thingyy, that was delayed due to Ivana's unfortunate stumble. Well of course he is.

[Ferris]

He was always going to. You can put out a statement saying it's all a witch hunt and political and "you don't recognize their authority and won't play their games" etc.

Why would he do anything else? He's not exactly gonna cooperate but he has the benefit of 40 million lunatics who think he's the second coming so he has more clout to deny the court's legitimacy.

[Dex Sawash]

Donald Trump declined to answer the New York attorney general's questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights, he said in a statement.

[Ferris]

Well there you go, turns out he is reading my CaB posts for legal/PR advice.

Always suspected.

[steve98]

Seems he'd "absolutely no choice" but to plead the 5th due to the moral vacuum of the current admin...



He had to do it.

[touchingcloth]

Is he saying he's a witch?

[steve98]

Is he saying he's a witch?

Declined to answer.

[Dex Sawash]

For clarity, the NY thing is for dirty business/tax stuff.

[checkoutgirl]

Is Trump saying all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others? The raid is funny and the Fox News meltdown is even funnier. They're treating it like armageddon. Watching politics is pretty miserable most of the time but every now and again you get a fun time like this.

Fox News - "So expert, after this raid on Trump, do you think it's time people started cracking each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?"

Expert - "Yes I would Kent"

OBAMA AND CLINTON NEVER OPENLY COMMITTED SEDITION YOU STUPID FUCKING FUCKMONGER

neither did Dubya, curious how the Gangrenous Orange left him out

seriously cannot get over how they're glossing over Trump talking about the election being rigged and inciting the January 6th rioters. SEDITION.

Oh, is that a closed case? When's the hanging?

[steve98]

The Washington Post now say they have sources that say Trump had "Beyond-Top-Secret" Docs on Nuclear Weapons in his basement (Nuclear "Weapons" stuff, not reactor stuff).

Could he really have been planning on selling this stuff? Surely not? Surely he's not that mad?

Anyway, not surprisingly, America's going fucking ballistic.

[GoblinAhFuckScary]

America's going fucking ballistic.

...soon

[steve98]

Will he object to the unsealing of the search warrant and the inventory of goods removed? Because if he does object and loses and the inventory reveals there were Top Secret weapons docs in his stash it won't look so good for him.

The unveiling of the warrant happens at 9pm (our time) tonight (Assuming he doesn't object)

You're a silly boy Donald, a silly silly boy.

I didn't know about the nuclear football and the nuclear biscuit.


I mean hello? Did I miss a nuclear meeting?

[imitationleather]

I heard the FBI searched Trump's house because he had sissy hypno porn.

Hunter Biden's laptop is hilarious. That's the best they can come up with. They can't even make up something about Joe. Hilary's emails, Hunter's laptop, that's the absolute best they can come up with.

My favourite is "If it can happen to Trump it can happen to you". As in a search of your home. As if most people didn't know that if they broke the law the police would come after them. Although there are millions of entitled Karens and Kevins who seem shocked to be arrested when they break the law so that narrative actually makes some sort of sense.

After watching the soap opera for the last few years it appears a fair few of the plot strands are coming to the final phase. With hilarious results.
